I've now annotated many of the images captured from Bungie's first Destiny ViDoc, Pathways Out Of Darkness.
I've set the first sixteen images of Destiny concept art to the Destiny music track, "Eighth" by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori to create a Destiny Concept Art Slideshow. More more information about each image, check the Destiny Concept Art album.
The first sixteen concept art images from Destiny, set to the track "Eighth" by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori, released as a reward for completion of the alpha lupi ARG.
The FAQ section has been reopened with an emphasis on Bungie's new IP, Destiny. If you have a question to ask, submit it!
The movies section has been revised to clean out bitrot; old videos were transcoded from DivX and other older codec and container combinations to H.264 MP4 files. Where this could not be done, YouTube videos were substituted. A number of other videos recently added to YouTube by Bungie and others have been added, specifically for Marathon and Halo. All videos should now play fine in the browser, defaulting to Flash with a fallback to HTML5 for those who do not have flash installed.
The site should present a minimal theme to mobile devices such as phones and tables, removing most of the blocks along the top, bottom, and sides of the site, presenting only the main menu in the form of a button at the top right. The movie player is compatible with iOS devices.
A quick round-up of good Destiny coverage:
IGN: A Land of Hope and Dreams, Quick FAQ.
Penny Arcade Report: Destiny is always online, social, could be the future of shooters
The Escapist: The Words of Destiny
Added a new Destiny Concept Art gallery. Many, if not all, of these images were also included in the ViDoc, but these images are direct from Bungie.net and of higher quality.
I've added an image album of screen captures from the Pathways Out Of Darkness ViDoc. Comments to come soon.
Looks like someone at IGN in Spain has broken embargo early, perhaps getting the time wrong. Several images that appear to be concept art have leaked.
One hour and 21 minutes to go. IGN will start its coverage of Bungie's reveal at 09:30 PST. On Twitter be sure to follow @Bungie and check the hashtag #Destiny.
With the Alpha Lupi ARG now concluded and mere hours to wait before Bungie's expected Destiny reveal at 09:30 today PST, Bungie has published all the ARG-related images, including each day's individual image, a combined image of all the messages for the week, a desktop picture, and an MP3 file featuring music by Marty O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori for the new game. The track is called Eighth.
I've created an album for the alpha lupi images, as well as a local copy of the MP3 of Eighth.
Anyone want to take a stab at transcribing it?
Damián Isla, Rob Stokes and Michel Bastien left Bungie back in 2009 to start Moonshot Games, and one of the first projects they put on display was Fallen Frontier. It was intended to be a platformer targeted at XBLA. I liked the look of it, and they put up a trailer.
However, two years ago the publishing deal that backed that game died. While the game was shown at the Penny Arcade Expo that year without a publisher, last month the studio cancelled the game.
Joystiq has now written a follow-up story about the game's cancellation and the resurrection of Moonshot Games with a mobile focus.
Isla has written a blog post over at Moonshot Games, just to add a bit to the story about Fallen Frontier and talk about the group's new game, Third Eye Crime.
For various reason, Fallen Frontier had grown larger then our ideal project size — mostly because games in the console download space itself had grown larger and more elaborate. Between then and now, something happened: we became convinced that really great and deep gameplay experiences could be had on the mobile platforms, especially tablet.
So there you have it. Fallen Frontier is no more, but we have something else to look forward to from Moonshot.
Whether the game is coming out this year or not, the wait to find out how long we have to wait for Destiny seems to be coming to a close. Bungie has pre-announced that on February 17 they'll be showing a first glimpse of their new game, which they officially admit is called Destiny.
Yes, it has finally arrived. The long wait is over.
Why, what were you thinking of?
