The Deep Breath Before the Plunge

It's an exciting time. The servers are live and it's release day in some places of the world. In the West, Bungie's about to open their doors to folks waiting for a chance inside. And for the game itself, Bungie has released notes for a day-one 1.01 patch. GrimBrother IV's already begun a discussion on the changes in the forum. The pilgramige is almost at an end... See you starside.

Destiny Panoramas

DualShockers created a series of panoramic shots of Destiny environments - and they're beautiful. You should go look at them. Thanks again to Xenos for pointing them out.

Destiny - PS exclusive in Japan?

kidtsunami noticed a Tweet from Mack MacDonald (Director at 8-4 Ltd., previously at Ziff Davis) that suggests that Destiny will be exclusive to Sony platforms (Playstation 3 and 4) in Japan - no Xbox versions at all. Whoa.

Interesting move from Sony / Activision @kazamatsuri: Destiny is exclusive to PlayStation 3 & PlayStation 4 in Japan. http://t.co/m2lnWExDLX

The Know's Destiny Week: Building a 10-Year Universe

Ashley Jenkins and The Know has their final installment of Destiny Week online - it's a look at the world Bungie's building that they're hoping you'll be living in for the next 10 years. An intriguing quote from Jesse Van Dijk, explaining why a particular image from early concept art didn't make it into the final game:

"What we see there is not really indicative of something that says 'Hey, this is humanity that went through 700 years of sped up evolution.' ...and we need it to."

This is a nice little insight into what the Traveler has done to mankind in its time above our planet! Go watch the rest. Thanks, Xenos.

The Know's Destiny Week: Gameplay and Modes

Rooster Teeth's The Know is back with a second rundown on Destiny features - this one focuses on Gameplay and Modes. Nice interview clips with urk, in addition to straight-up info. Some Xenos guy found this one.

Whistle for Your Horse!

While it's been implied and suggested before, this is the first time I've heard its on-demand nature explicitly confirmed:

You may have heard the Shrike called Sparrow in the past. It's your personal speeder, if you've forgotten!

Update on a Killer Hunter (Hunter-Killer?)

Back in August, we mentioned Karin Olava's cosplay Hunter, in construction. Recently, she's been tweeting up a storm about it: on September 7, she posted a bone bracer for the forearm, on September 13 she said she was 95% done (with awesome pics!), then later that afternoon, she showed off the Sculpey details for her rocket launcher. This morning, she posted a WIP shot of the launcher itself... I want one!

Becoming the Hunter

Special effects guru Karin Olava teased us with her work-in-progress Hunter costume. What's even more impressive is that she built the costume from scratch using only reference shots. As someone who dabbles in costume building and currently has a Hunter banner staring me in the face, I couldn't be more envious of her incredble work. You can check out more of her work on her Instagram page.

GCAs Announced

The 2013 Game Critics Awards: Best of E3 nominations have been announced - and Destiny has found itself in five separate categories:

• Best of Show
  
• Best Original Game
  
• Best Console Game
  
• Best Action Game
  
• Best Online Multiplayer
  

This puts it in pretty rarified company: only Watch Dogs (with 5 nominations) and Titanfall (with 6, a GCA record) were as honored. Winners will be announced next Tuesday, July 2.

Nowgamer Interview with Harold Ryan

Nowgamer published an interview with Harold Ryan, president of Bungie, about next generation technology, MMOs and crafting the world of Destiny. There is a particularly interesting statement about giving players a sense of influence and impact in a shared world.

There will be a huge set of discussions to have about the activities you can engage in in Destiny. The designers have the ability to make something an activity that you play through, and they control the frequency that you can play through it, whether you play through it once or multiple times, and they control whether you play it with two or three friends or whether you play it in a public space, where you might encounter it every time you land on Venus as you go through.

Go read! (Thanks, Xenos.)

Law of the Jungle Piano Cover

Akmigone is back with another Destiny piano arrangement - this time he covers the music from the Destiny live-action trailer. Pretty incredible!

Quiet is not always bad

This Saturday has passed with no new Destiny news. (We could post summaries of the x360Magazine interview, as a number of other sites are doing - but we told you about that a couple of days ago, and we trust you to read it and intuit its importance for yourself.) There are still a couple of art galleries in the works - it's just a matter of finding the time to sit down and finish the code. Soon!™ Enjoy your weekend.

Lost, The Wire, and Battlestar Galactica

Last week at GDC, Gamespot had a (very) brief chat with Joe Staten on what he drew inspiration from while building Destiny's worlds. Longer-form narrative? Sounds great!

YOU LOSE (HA HA HA)

Looks like the forum puzzle we mentioned last week has been solved by thebruce and the payoff is pretty neat. Steve Richey (steverrr) has faithfully recreated Bungie's first game, GNOP! It's hosted at gnop.bungie.org and you can read about the development process on Steve's blog. Very cool!

Brave New World - Piano Cover

akmigone posted a piano cover of the music from the Destiny Playstation 4 announcement trailer - it's really well done and quite uplifting!
