Destiny: no major gameplay changes before launch

4.7
Destiny’s beta was good enough to convince Activision to leave the full game alone for launch.

Activision has said the Destiny beta was so successful that the full game will be largely unchanged when it goes live on September 9.

Small alterations are being made, but, Activision publishing boss Eric Hirshberg said in a financial call, “I would describe this as tweaks and not major changes, as we saw the fundamentals of the game to be very strong.

“And the good news is because we got 4.6 million players into the beta we were able to test the back-end in scale and it performed really well and stably. We think we’re ready for a great launch with a great partner in Bungie.”

More than 4.5 million players participated in the Destiny beta, making it, according to Activision, “the biggest beta of this console generation by a wide margin and the largest console beta ever for a new video game IP to date.”

Destiny’s popularity may be causing some friction, however: reports emerged this morning of Limited and Ghost Edition pre-orders being cancelled.

The gameplay was absolutely fine to me. I did get a slight bit bored with the mission system though. The last few bits were just going to a stick of light or something?, killing aliens, picking up something or pressing a button and repeating that like 10 times over on each mission. I hope some extra stuff is added or I might end up trading it back in not long after purchase.

I was really excited for the game, but after the beta I kind of lost interest.

Latias I just hope they fix the party chat glitch, where you had to have it snapped. The workaround was very annoying.


I never had that problem myself but I would lag when I'd walk around.

-Swift I am perfectly fine with that. I did not find many bugs and thought the game played very smooth.


I am also fine with this statement. I feel that the game was near perfect even in beta.

I agree. The only thing is that when you are super charged, you are basically insanely overpowered.

Loved the Beta. Can't wait for the game to actually come out!

DRPZPosted:

I am glad that they aren't changing it up too much because I actually enjoyed the game a lot the way it was.
