In the center of the flower structure is the core of the ark which is what that ball is.

I seen this image over at bungie.net a few days ago suggesting that the halo 5 trailer could have taken place on the ark and you can see similarities beteen the 2 images. Remember the ark was not completely destroyed only heavily damaged as I'm sure you all know, what do you think? The possibility of the ark coming back into the story again really interests me.

Congratulations Drizzy

I got it somewhat fixed, i removed the frame of the screen and adjusted the lcd cable running from under the keyborad to the screen. It flickers only when I move the screen but no longer flickers once the screen is just sitting still, it's not completely fixed but it's a hell of a lot better.

My laptop screen keeps flickering, I have to adjust it at a certain angle to make it stop and the slightest movement can set it off. Anyone know how I could fix this, could it be a problem with the LCD cable? My laptop is made by zoostorm if that helps in anyway.

Deej did say in an interview they are still early in development, I did feel confused by that statement as destiny has been in the works for quite some time. But I don't know game development works in the sense of time it takes to actually start making the game, especially a game like destiny, the idea of destiny may have been around since 2009 but the actual creation of it may not have started untill 2010 or even 11. But as I said I don't know but a spring 2014 release seems to be where it's going.

Could you run by me about cortana being a forerunner AI, I forgot all about that last time a read about that was like 2 years ago. Whats all that about again?

This was Bungies first E3 presentation in 3 years and we finally got to see some destiny gameplay. Below are videos of gamelay, trailers and interviews. Destiny E3 Trailer [uK] Destiny E3 Demo + Interview with Deej Game Informer interview with Harold Ryan Destiny Gameplay walkthrough Adam Sessler and Bungies Joes Staten Deej's E3 Video Blogs This post has been promoted to an article

Thanks to AD for finding this article This article is from Deadline Deadline has learned the meetings were an intimate preview of the new Xbox One capabilities before next week’s E3 confab where secretive Microsoft will unveil details of the device’s technology. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer was escorted by his entertainment studios president Nancy Tellem for the visit late last week to lobby her closest Hollywood pals: her former boss CBS chief Les Moonves, Sony TV boss Steve Mosko, and WME co-CEOS Ari Emanuel and Patrick Whitesell. It’s all part of Ballmer’s effort to drum up exclusive content after Microsoft intends to launch 40+ new voice-controlled customized TV and entertainment apps on Xbox One. But it was also more, one insider tells Deadline, “to reiterate Microsoft’s commitment to transitioning its business to devices and services and to explaining that Hollywood entertainment is a big part of that. Microsoft in the past has just dipped a toe but now has a real commitment.” Tellem wanted to give Ballmer 3 different perspective: the broadcaster, the independent producer, and the agent. Deadline has learned that Ballmer touted “what we could do with” the Xbox One in sports, music, reality and scripted programming, promising execs that they’d see more sophisticated technology and that his company “doesn’t want to be a cable channel”. He also met Tellem’s Santa Monica team for the first time and outlined his vision for a new Xbox One world. Ballmer’s trip to Hollywood will only anger more hard-core gamers who already were miffed by Microsoft’s focus on entertainment when it unveiled the product on May 21. (Xbox One will be on store shelves later this year). The hard-core gamers fear Microsoft sees its new Xbox One more as a souped-up Internet-connected, voice- and motion-controlled cable box than a next-gen gaming console. T ellem has said Microsoft has studios in Los Angeles, London, Seattle and Vancouver producing content that merges “the story-telling magic of TV with the interactive power of the Xbox One.” More recently, Microsoft said Steven Spielberg will create a new live-action TV show based on the Halogame franchise. Microsoft also announced a new partnership with the NFL that promises side-by-side integration of a viewer’s fantasy football stats with live game broadcasts. And the company also set a partnership with ESPN for broadcasts of other sports. This isn’t the first time Microsoft has tried to entice Hollywood with the Xbox. Peter Chernin for one discussed producing Conan O’Brien’s talk show on the platform when the host was booted from NBC’s The Tonight Show. Hollywood’s big problem with Microsoft: it moves slowly. The Xbox One was designed to establish its primacy in the industry-wide effort to develop a single box that can handle all of a home’s entertainment needs. But company watchers have had mixed reactions to the Xbox One. Turnoffs include the expected high price (rumored at as much as $499), the possibility that it won’t play certain used games without an additional payment, and a suspicion that it take liberties with users’ privacy for example by reporting whether a TV viewer watched certain commercials.

They did once colonize and live on the other planets so they would have changed the atmosphere to make it inhabitable for them, as for the moon they could have terraformed it and making it breathable as well. Also they are wearing masked/helmets so that would help them breathe if the moon is not terrformed.

Microsoft received a lot of unsettling feedback from gamers after their Xbox One presentation due to the lack of games being shown despite the fact that the presentation was to show off the console itself where as E3 would be the main spotlight for the games. But this may bring some hope back as Microsoft told OXM in an interview they will be investing 1 billion dollars into Xbox one exclusives. Microsoft announced that 15 Xbox One exclusives will be released in the first year of the new consoles launch and 8 of those 15 will be brand new IP's, being one of them. "Thankfully, a glance at the bigger picture reveals that this is more a question of presentation than strategy. Microsoft will invest no less than $1 billion into games next gen - an unprecedented sum for the firm - and Xbox One will swipe 15 exclusive titles in its first year at retail, including eight new IPs. All that's on top of a two-year period of bulking up, which has seen Microsoft Studios open new games studios in London, Washington and Victoria, British Columbia while snapping up talent for its existing operations." Microsoft stated that one of their game studios Black Tusk is working on a new title that is set to compete with Halo and Gears of War. "Black Tusk Studios is working on a mysterious action title that's designed to compete with Halo and Gears of War. Microsoft has opened Lift London to create and incubate smaller scale cloud-based games. New projects are underway at Microsoft Studios Osaka, reflecting IEB president Don Mattrick's assertion that the company remains "committed" to Japan. Perhaps most hearteningly, Microsoft has acquired Press Play and Twisted Pixel to work on "weird, unique" titles for Xbox Live. In short, there's a lot more bubbling away under the surface than the Xbox One event suggests." So will this restore any faith to the core gamers who felt abandoned by the Xbox One reveal?

<p>I can't wait looking forward too many things about the game, the story, the music, the different enemies. I'm very keen to see how travelling to different planets and moons plays out and exploring different environments. What I also love is the cryptic feel bungie put into their stories and the mysterious hidden background story they have done with their past games, the creepy and eerie feel is fantastic and I hope they give that feel to destiny too. </p>

A new halo project "Halo Bootcamp" was listed on the Korean Game Rating Board and it will be a new Halo game. Nothing much is known about the game other than it will be a third person shooter and it is a PC exclusive, it will not be coming to the 360 or One. This article from gamefront goes into more detail about this new Halo game A listing for “Bootcamp” surfaced on the Korean Game Rating Board today, which is apparently some sort of Halo game. Odd things in that description: Halo 3 is mentioned. Huh? Is this potentially the rumored Halo 3 PC port? Also, this is listed as a PC/online game, not an Xbox One title. Wah? We reached out to Microsoft for some clarity, and a spokesperson provided Game Front with the following statement: “What’s Bootcamp? It is not related to our Xbox One efforts, or the Reclaimer Saga, but rather a project we’re very enthusiastic about and will have more to say about in the near future.” So, it’s not an Xbox One game. Nor is it a part of the “Reclaimer Saga” (which is a fancy title referring to the new Halo trilogy, starting with Halo 4). So what the hell is this thing? It’s clearly a spinoff of some kind. Note that “Bootcamp” could in some way refer to the similarly titled Reed Ruiz novel Halo: Fall of Reach: Boot Camp. And what’s that book about? Here’s the Amazon description: The legend of Master Chief begins! The United Nations Space Command is engaged in a brutal battle against a growing tide of insurrection. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and under the threat of a prolonged war the UNSC initiates the SPARTAN-II Project, a military program seeking to create a squad of super-soldiers. And so a great adventure begins: Once, he was a 6-year-old boy named John. But his superior speed, intelligence and adaptability to the SPARTAN-II training allow him to rise above the rest, starting his journey to become the most legendary warrior the galaxy has ever known! Halo: Fall of Reach – Bootcamp begins the adaptation of Eric Nylund’s novel Halo: The Fall of Reach, based on the international videogame sensation Halo! Your guess is as good as ours at this point, but we’ve at least confirmed A). That Korean Game Rating Board page wasn’t ‘shopped, this is actually a thing, and . it’s not for Xbox One, and C). it’s not a part of the new Halo trilogy. UPDATE: PC gamers hoping Halo Bootcamp is the rumored PC port of Halo 3 may be in for a bit of disappointment. In the NeoGAF thread where this news originally surfaced, Google Translate was used to translate the Korean to English, which appeared to include a clear reference to Halo 3. However, running the mysterious game’s description text through other translation services reveals a different picture. Here’s what Bing Translator has to say: “‘Halo’ as a third-person point of view based on the worldview of the mission is going to be executing an action game of water Minor violence representation (expressed as mere weaponry, attacks and a third-person point-of-blood description) Thus, article 21 of the law on the promotion of the game industry and the provisions of article 9, paragraph 3, classified according to the classification as a ‘ 15 ‘ decision.” There’s obviously a lot of murky English in there, but one thing is pretty clear. The description isn’t referring to Halo 3. Rather, it’s referring to a a third-person Halo game. View full article

A few hidden games has appeared on the xbox dashboard, this brief article from polygon with go through them and try to see what these could be. Title speaks for itself, of course you have the big image Quantum Break, and Forza 5. I wouldn't look too far into Halo, it's just a logo and we'll inevitably get one.... But the other images 1. Bottom left green Crackdown agility orb, I don't know why they would use that unless we're getting a sequel (a real one this time). 2. Bottom right has the Rare logo, if its an HD realization of a old franchise I wouldn't know what it is. 3. Middle right is almost certainly Ryse (roman buildings) 4. Top right, most intriguing to me, kind of gives me Fable vibe (Seer eyes) I wouldn't look too far into the image between Forza and Halo, kind of looks like the Demo stuff 18 seconds in there. (I guess it could still be from a game?) *-Update:* As Tom Warren points out the one betwean Forza and Halo is likely the the family kids game set on an island he reported on. http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/11/4212054/next-xbox-launch-titles-ryse-forza View full article
