Bungie’s Destiny is going to be huge, it may end up being mediocre, doubtful but entirely possible, however opening day I just know it’s going to melt a few servers with the amount of people trying to log in. And what is a huge game without some hype trailers? The latest Destine trailer titled To The Moon is after the jump for you to salivate over and scrutinize to your hearts content.
Next up we have the lovely beta program that all multiplayer centric games need to have to test the waters a bit and make sure gamer’s can start their hate mail early. I am not immune to this either as I am this close to firing off some hate mail for the Battlefield 4 Beta, this close I tell you!
Back to Destiny, Bungie has lined up the old gag of needing to pre-order the game to get into the beta. If you went to any of these places you should have gotten your pre-order code immediately on a receipt or email unless you bought it before October 1st 2013 in which case you might need to check your spam folder.
Are you excited about Destiny, does it tickle your fancy that Bungie is doing something other than Halo? Are you pissed it still hasn’t been announced for PC, I know I am. I think the biggest question of all with Destiny coming to 4 platforms and maybe a 5th what in the hell will that do to the multiplayer community? Let us know your thoughts and concerns in the comments below.
