The Destiny 2 beta for PC is live right now, up through August 31. If you haven’t played it yet and you have a PC that can handle games at all, it’s worth checking out. I dove in to see how it looked and played, checking out the story content, as well as the quickplay multiplayer the three-player strike mission. Joey Davidson and I checked out the original Destiny at launch and found it...
Destiny 2 will be available to the public for the first time today with the pre-order going live at 1:00 p.m. EST/10:00 a.m. PDT. Those that were lucky enough to score a code will be one step closer to gaining access to one of this years’ hottest titles. The rest of us will, sadly, have to wait. There is still time to pre-order the game and secure your beta code, so go ahead and do...
Usually when a game’s release date changes, it means we’re going to end up waiting. Once in a while, though, a hotly anticipated game gets moved forward instead of pushed back. Destiny 2 just happens to be one of those, but it wasn’t a move Activision and Bungie made to thrill fans. It turns out there’s a very good reason. It’s because if they released it on a Friday as planned, we’d...
Destiny 2 is upon us, and Bungie appears to have outdone itself. A new gameplay trailer from the company shows off an experience that looks more action-packed and contains the much-needed dose of character that many felt come up a bit flat in the original Destiny release. And of course, it's got a nice Inception "WHHHOOOMMMM," as well since we very well can't have a trailer without...
Bungie is clearly making Destiny 2‘s PC build with the intention of it being played with a lot of bulk behind it. The word is that the game will run in 4K screen resolution, and for those who love numbers, the framerate will not be capped. You’ll be able to run Destiny 2 as fast as your PC will allow. Bungie and Activision captured the first 4K screenshots with a GeForce GTX chip, and...
Destiny 2's release on the PC will not be available through most gaming retail outlets. If you want to play it, you'll have to do so exclusively through Blizzard Entertainment's Battle.net, described as the "central nervous system for Blizzard games" in a livestream event. Both CEO of Activision Eric Hirshberg and President of Blizzard Entertainment Mike Morhaime confirmed the...
I lieu of the confirmation of Destiny 2, Bungie is also winding down the updates for the original game. One final update to the game actually brings back a piece of the game's content that was cut because it's quite horrible. However, that doesn't mean it has to be hated. Peter Dinklage was the original actor to play the Ghost in Destiny, but his Hollywood schedule didn't allow him to...
After a surprise announcement and a few days of teases, we finally have some hard data on Destiny 2, and it's all good news. Bungie's follow-up hits this fall, just a day before the original game's third anniversary, and yes – it's heading to PC as well. The character-driven reveal trailer has Cayde-6 and Commander Zavala addressing crowds of Guardians, hyping them for the coming...
What do you do when you want to make nerds laugh? Just add Nathan Fillion. The big reveal trailer for Destiny 2 isn't for a couple more days yet, but Activision and Bungie are dropping more teases to keep us occupied in the meantime. The latest stars one of Destiny's best characters, Cayde-6, regaling us with a tale of one of his recent encounters. Thanks to Fillion's voice, the bit is...
Hundreds of hours sunk into a single Destiny character might not mean too much when its sequel launches later this year. Bungie has confirmed that character progression will not be carried over from the first to Destiny 2. On the game’s official website, Bungie gets a little more specific by stating that “power, possessions and Eververse-related items and currency” will not make the...
