metallicfrodo Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Both Cosmic_Guru and alisdair were kind enough to send me an xbone code, so I now have a spare one! First person to quote this gets it. EDIT: Gone to Mystacon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeders Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 900p I hear, so there is a drop off compared to the PS4 beta visually. Chat quality is also miles ahead as you'd expect. Itching to get a bash on it tonight, going for a Warlock class this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusty Gusset Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Much prefer the Xbox pad for this as well. I'm hoping the PS4 pad was the reason it didn't quite click with me last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Yeah, both versions will be running exactly the same res and frame rate, if that's your bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueWilliam Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 4 more hours till I can head home and get an hour with the Bone Beta, then dash off to be on stage and pray I don't accidentally say "That wizard came from the moon!" during the big emotional climax in Act 2. For those who were playing on PS3 and are now testing it out on Xbox One - did your characters carry over? Or did you have to start again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacehost Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Characters don't carry between platform holders. 360<->One and PS3<->PS4 work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Kenyon Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Would love to swap my spare XO code for a 360 one so a friend can play destiny on the 360 — DM if interested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferine Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 The latest PS4 patch seems to have fixed the frame pacing issue, so it feels a lot more consistent now. I think handcannons and pulse rifles are both pretty worthless at the moment. The former seems to basically be a shorter range scout rifle with a shallower clip, whilst the burst fire of the latter has more kick than an assault rifle but similar damage per bullet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Good couple of hours on this tonight. Still not made my mind up about it. Just done the 'opening the array' mission, and that final stretch nearly did me in - especially with no re-spawn allowed. Did get through it in the end, though it was relentless at times - the wizard followed by a couple of knights of some kind. It's funny because there were times when the wizard was downed quickly, but other time he fought and fought. I was on my "one last go" with it. Previous to that, I was set in an open section of Old Russia, fighting alongside an unknown. That was good, but I think I got in the way more than anything! He seemed to just be there waiting to kill whatever appeared. After 15 minutes I moved on. So yes, looks lovely, really solid weapons (though they quickly felt under powered) but I'm curious about long term - especially with this crap timezone restricting much multiplayer opportunity. Is there a way to take down those captains quickly? A couple of times a well timed grenade has worked well but other times it's been a slog and half. What are the energy bars? Is white the amount of armour he has, and red his energy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumgut Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 What are the energy bars? Is white the amount of armour he has, and red his energy? Red is health, doesn't regenerate. White is shield, will regenerate if he isn't hit for a few seconds. It's the classic halo system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusty Gusset Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 There will be compromises though you realise. My eyes aren't what they used to be but, slight oversaturation, lack of sharpness (demo resolution?), a few minor effects (I think) and one hell of an FPS gamepad. I'm slowly coming round to this.

The former seems to basically be a shorter range scout rifle with a shallower clip, whilst the burst fire of the latter has more kick than an assault rifle but similar damage per bullet. Handcannons do absurd damage in headshots, so they'll wind up being a good close-range weapon for people with the reflexes of a fourteen-year-old.

PS3 is getting all the expansions, and you can play characters created in the PS3 version on the PS4 version and vice versa. You can even do it in the beta, if you've got it for both systems you can just boot it up and pick up where you left off on the other machine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Onion Ring Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Could anyone PM me a spare beta code for Xbox One? I'd be superbly gratefully gratefulington for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robo_1 Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Can't say I'm blown away by this. I've completed 5/6 missions, and although the multiplayer side of it seems really slick, the actual gunplay is really average. It may not help that I've just come off playing Wolfenstein, but the lack of a decent cover and lean system just make the gunplay seem stale in comparison. Different game with different styles I suppose, and the strong melee is nice to use, but still, the actual guts of the combat is doing very little for me. The art is nice enough and the music is classic Bungie, but I don't think it's doing enough on screen to justify it being stuck at 30fps on next gen consoles. I'm only early in the game so I'm hoping that once different weapon and enemy types reveal themselves, things will pick up. I'm certainly not at pre-order cancelled levels, but given the hype, I'd hoped for more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GViper Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 While I await a kind soul with a PS3 code, here's a question, if I buy the PS3 copy and my buddy runs it on PS4, will we be playing together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afraid not. If I recall correctly, Bungie have said next gen players would be at an advantage due to better draw distance etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
