Bungie Reveal Destiny, Release New Video Revealing Story, Your Character And More

Bungie have revealed Destiny in a video documentary. no platforms are announced in this video and there is no release date either. however, this video does reveal key elements of the story. 

Destiny is set on earth, an earth ravaged by some oppressive force. people from Earth used to travel the solar system and had a golden age, but this was brought to an abrupt end by some unknown force that nearly wiped out life on earth. that is until the traveler arrived, apparently using it's own life force to save mankind.

since then, the travelers ship has stayed located just above earth and a new city has been built underneath. the people of earth are once again exploring their planet, but what they are finding isn't that friendly. that's where you, the player comes in. you play as a guardian, someone who has a small amount of power the traveler had. you have to defend the city and defeat the enemies of earth to reclaim it.



The Video features several pieces of artwork and concept art of Earth, music and some possible in-game cinematics. Bungie reveal they have a 10 year plan for the series and the video shows some sort of social media and iPhone App integration to the game to help set up multiplayer between players and keep up to date with the game.

Update
Amazon.com currently lists Destiny as coming to both the PS3 and Xbox 360. Amazon lists them as coming out on 31st December, which is most likely a placeholder. as the release date is a placeholder...i guess there is some chance that Destiny could be coming to other unannounced platforms.

Sony Online Entertainment Have Released A New Behind The Scenes Look At Music In PlanetSide 2

Sony Online Entertainment have released a new behind the scenes look at PlanetSide 2. this video focuses on the music in the game. this video features members of the music team talking about what they wanted each faction to sound like and also revealing they had a technical issue in the music print outs that had to be corrected on the fly by the conductor.

The music is conducted by Jeff Broadbent, in describing the music for each faction he said:

"For the Terran Republic, noble brass, soaring strings, massive percussion, and choir highlights propelled the action. Recorded by the Northwest Sinfonia, their score is a massive, mighty tribute to the military power of this faction. The blues-rock of the New Conglomerate infused a grass-roots vibe to this rebellious faction, while the blending of modern percussion gave a technological edge to their sound. The pulsing synths, evolving electronics, spiritual wind instruments and vocals of the Vanu Sovereignty conceived a sound that is both progressive and timeless, a symbol of their vision for the future and reliance upon ancient technology."
