So, I have been looking at the Bungie forums, Reddit forums and the Game Informer article and I have been analyzing the two videos officially posted. What I have found probably isn't new, and we all know that with video games still in development things may change. However, at this time, the screenshot posted above details [i]at least[/i] 9 different things: [u][b]#1) Story mode[/b][/u] will have a chapter based setup like most of Bungie's previous titles and seems like an obvious thing for Bungie to do. I personally hope it's a long story, not [i]Final Fantasy[/i] long, but [i]Skyrim[/i] long. [u][b]#2) Bounty[/b][/u]- weekly bonuses that seem to resonate with Bungie's newest addition to their legacy that they added to Halo Waypoint/Reach before handing Halo over to Microsoft/343. Now the only question there is whether or not they will be extensive challenges set into their own locations or borrowing "maps" from the game itself to contain challenges in. [u][b]#3) Strike[/b][/u]- This one is the one that I have the most speculation about, mostly because it is the least straight forward and to me it means one of at least three things: A. It's going to be classic multiplayer slayer, B. a more randomized form of Raid (assumption based off of the similarity of the symbols next to it and the Raid option), or C. something completely different from what I just said, but I honestly think "B" is the most likely option here. [u][b]#4) Raid[/b][/u]- A little confirmation that one of the most beloved elements of MMO-games will appear in Destiny's MMO-esque gameplay. [u][b]#5) Faction Wars[/b][/u]- This tells me a lot. First, it tells me that factions/guilds will be a thing. Secondly, it tells me that there will be intense team-based competitive multiplayer. I wonder how they will tie that into the overlapping story that is supposed to engage the entire game. And, finally, it makes me wonder what kind of gameplay is hidden behind that menu option. Ah, the possibilities. [u][b]#6)[/b][/u] The starships appear to be rather sexy and I especially like the white one. I hope they come in electric blue. [u][b]#7)[/b][/u] The three starships in the center of the menu displaying either a) the options of starship available to the player or b) a visual of your friends' and your starships awaiting in the Squad menu. Which leads me to... [u][b]#8)[/b][/u] The squad feature is going to be a thing in Destiny. That seems like a no $#!T, but it's noteworthy. [u][b]#9)[/b][/u] The little names that appear below the usernames backup point [b]#5[/b]. These, to me, seem to be, quite obviously, faction/guild names. The "Pants Guild" seems like the place to be, just sayin'. That's what this image tells me, but I am sure there are many different opinions or little details that speak volumes to other people, so, you tell me, what's there? What do you see? [b][u]*EDIT*[/u][/b] There are a couple more things that were pointed out to me by [b]The Wauzzer[/b] and [b]Are We There Yet[/b]: [quote]"I just noticed that in the upper-right corner it says 3/6 and with there being three players in the squad it leads me to think that you could have a maximum of six players in a squad..." - The Wauzzer[/quote] [i]and[/i] [quote]"Bounty has 2 of 3 stars filled. Implying that there will be 3 weekly challenges to be completed. The Clan/Guild titles beneath the players names supports the idea of clans being included The numbers beside the names suggests some sort of ranking/level system The emblems look really slick." - Are We There Yet [/quote] Anyone who sees this page, add your input and bring gameplay, technology and features to add onto this forum. We don't need anything story/campaign-wise just gameplay (controls, what you as the player can and can't do, combat stylization, HUD details ,multiplayer modes/options etc.), technology (what type of technology their using to build the game, not the technology in the game), and features (menus, user interface, customization options etc.). ALL YOUR NEWS ARE BELONG TO US. Thanks. [u][b]*EDIT 3/22*[/b][/u] Apparently, voice chat will be a thing, but Destiny's communication won't operate by traditional means and there is talk of animations and emoticons that your character can perform to add wordless communication. The system they will have to employ seems like it will be pretty intensive, or, at least, one of the least straight-forward functions of the game. http://www.destinyhub.net/threads/128-Official-Xbox-Magazine-A-Couple-New-Destiny-Details Seems pretty sweet to me. Anything else new in the fields of information?
