Bungie and Google give you a sneak peek of the worlds in ‘Destiny’

Just a few days ahead of its September 9 release, Bungie is creating more hype for its game with its collaboration with Google Maps team. They have partnered to create a fictional map of Destiny’s world they call Destiny Planet View. You will be able to browse through the three main locations featured in the game—the Moon, Mars, and Venus. While it will only give you a partial view of the worlds, we think it’ll be enough to drum up further excitement about the game for those who are waiting for it.

Beta version of ‘Destiny’ for Xbox One won’t run at 1080p

If you thought you’d be able to play Bungie’s Destiny in 1080p glory, sadly that won’t be available for the beta version. Bungie community chief David Dague confirmed the news during a live stream of the beta on IGN. Full 1080p resolution will be available for all platforms by the time the title launches.

Some PS4 users can already pre-load ‘Destiny’ Beta

While the beta of Bungie’s Destiny was expected to drop on July 17, it would seem some users are already able to pre-load the game. The 14.3GB beta download is said to be available to people who pre-ordered the game digitally with those who ordered it from the EU PSN Store being able to pre-load the game. However, this doesn’t mean gamers have an early peek into the game. An error message still shows up when users try to play the game. It does, however, save time for people who don’t have to download the beta when it drops on the 17^th.

Sony announces plans to sell white version of PS4 separately from ‘Destiny’

Sony previously announced that the PlayStation 4 will be released in white but it will come bundled with Bungie’s sci-fi first-person shooter game Destiny. Now, if you’re not particularly interested in the game, you will be able to purchases the standalone console in the future.  Shuhei Yoshida, president of Worldwide Studios at Sony Computer Entertainment, told Game One that the “glacier white” version will be available later in the year. He did not specify when though. There is also a special Urban Camouflage gamepad in the works and Japan received a limited edition Frozen PlayStation 4 (there is no word if that version is making its way out of Japan).
