[Unease Peanut]

Bungie just updated their Destiny site and revealed alot of new details.

 

 

There has been a major update to the site revealing a lot of new details

 

Link here:

http://www.destinythegame.com/au/en

 

On this site you will find all the details you will need to know when you jump in.

The guardians/classes

The enemies

The solar system

And a offer to join the beta

 

Let's summarize each section.

 

The Guardians

 

 

There are three guardians to choose from. Each with their own abilities.

Here is a trailer.

http://www.destinythegame.com/au/en

 

The video doesn't show any names so I'll put those down here with their respective summaries taken from the site.

 

The guardians you see are called:

-The Titan (Right)

-The Hunter (Left)

-The Warlock (Middle)

(Special thanks to Caboose)

 

Here are their summaries:

 

The Titan

The first Titans built the Wall, and bravely gave their lives to defend it.

Now, you stand in the same place, steadfast and sure.

Our enemies are deadly and merciless, but so are you.

You hail from a line of legendary heroes and your strength and skill will be needed to shatter their ranks.

Sounds like the powerhouse class of the three. Heavy weapons and armour.

 

The Hunter

Hunters once prowled the wilderness and wastelands, taking big risks for even bigger rewards.

Making your own luck has always meant bending the rules.

But you are no outlaw, at least, not anymore, and your unique brand of daring and ingenuity will be needed now more than ever.

Sounds like a stealthy type. Might depend on quick strikes to take down the enemy.

 

The Warlock

Warlocks have long studied the Traveler, mastering some of its arcane energies.

Its true purpose still remains a great mystery, but discovering truth has always driven you into the unknown.

Now, our enemies stand between you and your greatest discovery – the secrets of the Golden Age.

Sounds like a class that relies on it's abilities. Also very mysterious

Which guardian will you be going for?

 

Now onto

The enemies

 

 

 

There are four different factions of enemies.

Named

The Fallen

The Hive

The Vex

And The Cebal

 

Here are their summaries

 

The Fallen

Fallen are hardy creatures who can survive in a wide range of environments without heavy armor or complex modifications to their physiology. They travel light, hit hard, and are gone before you know it.

Fallen may look like mere scavengers, but on closer inspection you will see hints of a splendid, sophisticated past, and the proud markings of their ancestral "Houses."

Sounds like a smart enemy. Might wanna be on the look out for ambushes by these.

 

The Hive

Hive manipulate the physical world in ways that we can only begin to imagine.

The Hive have carved a kingdom deep into the lifeless core of the Moon, and it is there they remain, silent and buried among many dark and terrible secrets, a reminder of the tremendous power that brought forth the Collapse.

Sounds eerie. Let me take a trip to my house of NOPE in the city of NOPE right over the border of NOPE NOPE NOPE!!!

 

 

The Vex

Scattered reports indicate that the Vex appear to be mass-produced machine units, constructed of an unknown metal alloy resembling hammered brass.

All attempts to communicate with them have failed.

They are hostile.

They are unrelenting.

They are deadly.

This is why you should never trust robots...

 

The Cebal

Few Guardians have faced Cabal and lived to tell the tale.

They are a professional military operation. On every front we have found them on the march, they have already dug in and ringed their installations with razor wire.

Now, it seems they've turned their eyes towards us.

Yikes! Fully armoured power houses!

 

Again the pictures are found here

Now onto the last segment

The Solar System

 

 

These are the planets the game plays around

The Earth

The Moon

Venus

And Mars

 

Here are their summaries

 

The Earth

Our home.

After the Darkness swept over us, we found the Traveler where it made its last stand. Beneath, we built The City – our last – within its protective aura.

From here, Guardians stand watch, defend our civilization, and strike out into the wild frontiers of Earth – and beyond – to reclaim our lost worlds.

Looks like our base of operations. Gear up!

 

The Moon

Like Earth, the ruins of humanity's former glory can be found scattered across the familiar lunar surface.

Recent exploration attempts have been repulsed, reporting increased enemy activity, and even strange tectonic phenomenon.

The City has since classified the Moon as a "Forbidden Zone,” open only to our most brave and experienced Guardians.

Remember, this is where The Hive faction is present. Now on a enirely different topic, have you seen my flamethrower by any chance?

 

Venus

Venus was once the site of great discovery – a paradise.

Now, it is a monument to all that we have lost. The old stories say we built an academy dedicated to learning and research on the shore of a wondrous sea, and that the waters themselves boiled and rose up to shatter the coast, washing away all that we had built.

Yup... Sounds like paradise

 

Mars

What little we know of Mars may as well be a myth.

We built a massive metropolis in the red dust.

The Darkness swept nearly all of it away; the sand itself claimed the rest.

No one knows what remains of our lost age, now buried beneath the dunes.

Mystery ensues.

 

Luckely, we still have the pictures

Nothing new on Bungie's part, as those description have been used time and time again, though not formally summarized like this.  It's still refreshing and gives some credence to the Destiny website, which I have avoided for some time.

Wonderful article. I have to say I knew nothing about Destiny...Even though I have the game pre-ordered but anyways now I know! Thank you very much!

[Is not JL]

No discussion on the three races of Exo, Awoken, and Humans, hmm.....Although I'm faaairly certain they're cosmetic.

 

<3 Destiny. Cannot wait. Hope I get it on an Xbone....:3
