Bungie's Destiny Will be Revealed in 5 Days

Mark your calendars for this Sunday, February 17.

February 12, 2013

Yesterday we brought to you the news that a reveal of Bungie's next project, Destiny, was being hinted at for this upcoming Monday, February 18 – an augmented-reality game on the studio's website seemed to be pointing toward that date. Well, we won't have to wait quite that long. It's now been announced that Destiny will be unveiled one day earlier than we thought, on this Sunday, February 17.
An official Facebook page went live today and made that announcement as its first order of business. A Twitter account for the game has also been activated as well.
And if all that isn't enough to get you hyped, have a first look at the game's just-revealed logo as well:

The thing that will set it apart from any other fps game is the raid content.

Which the system still sucks that you have to know people to do.

Well, for me, the Speaker is voiced by Bill Nighy. so there was a plus on that. Second, I think there is a lot of depth to the story. A lot of which will be added over time.

I just enjoyed what I got to see.

Nobody got a head start. Press didn't get in until the servers went live for everyone yesterday. Although I guess technically that was a head start since the street date for the US is today. Anyway anybody with a physical copy could play all day yesterday. So I was referring to yesterday's reviews as day one.

There's one raid at launch. And around a half dozen strikes, with one or two more coming in December. I'm not sure that expecting dozens of either at launch for any game would be realistic. We'll see what things look like a year from now.

They say the raids have checkpoints every hour or so, so you don't have to do the entire raid all at once.

That's correct, they're on a weekly timer, resets on Tuesday. In fact it's not even available for play until next week. My biggest challenge will be finding 6 people to do it with. Social butterfly that I am...

About that time! See you losers in a few days!

Really? Was just an article on IGN about the people getting a headstart. Once person was already lvl 26 at 9pm yesterday. And a bunch of 23s.

They will have to amp it up. One raid that takes a couple hours will get stale quick. Should have had a minimum of 3 from the start. Will get easier for most people each time they go in as they get better gear. Or at least add a complete randomizer for the mobs and what has to be done each week.

Of course I am probably being elitist. Hardcore raided in Wow, I am just afraid the endgame will go to quick and then wait forever to get more. Ala what happened to Titanfall, just not enough content.

That's all well and good, but that requires my five friends to all stop as well. I'm not sure how that will fly.

They can continue without you. Might wipe but they can go 5 man. Pretty sure you can pull someone in that has at least been to that checkpoint before.

A lot of the negativity I'm reading on Metacritic is pretty funny. People are pissed because its not MMO or open world, when in fact it was never advertised as one. Halo/CoD-ish shooter with a sprinkle of RPG/MMO elements. If you go in truly thinking open world mmo, you will be disappointed.
