Nope, not doing one.
Bungie's latest Mail Sack is up. Here's a highlight:
MastaSin In Destiny, can we play as the aliens or are we locked to the human race? And if we are, why are we locked to the human race? What's the reason?
Claude Errera has announced that DBO is now building their Destiny Video Archive. Right now what's there are the two official vids, with more stuff to come.
Note by Recon54:
"by: Bryan "Brymen" Mendoza
A film homage to Marathon netplay, featuring the music of Underworld ("Cowgirl") coupled with rapidfire editing of net films, chapter screens and other artwork.
Remember, this is years before any Halo montages."
The title is in reference to the "security officer" protagonist of Bungie's Marathon series, who is the 10th and "missing" military cyborg.
This week's Community Focus feature over at Bungie is on the Destiny SubReddit. It's dangerous to go alone, take this.
nRGmusicproduction recreated the Destiny track "Be Brave" by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori, used in the PS4 reveal video, completely by ear. Go have a listen!
The Destiny FAQ has been updated with information revealed by Deej, Urk and others during the past couple of editions of the Bungie Mail Sack.
David Candland of Bungie reminds all the fans via Twitter that there's only one place to go if you want to beta test Destiny, and it's here:
http://www.bungie.net/en-us/View/bungie/userresearch/index
Some unofficial sites have been purporting to offer beta access. I won't link to them, but Candland says using them will only "end in heartbreak".
Over in the MariusNet forum, punkUser points out that any old school Myth fans looking to check out some current tournament action can have a look at NewMutator's YouTube channel.
Arabic language gaming site DvLZGaME has posted a video tour of Bungie (okay, Bungie's lobby). The video is in arabic, of course, but is still worth a look if you haven't already seen some of the Halo memoribilia Bungie has amassed.
Incidentally, it appears that Bungie has a small but motiviated fanbase in the Arabic world that is using Twitter to lobby for the Arabic localization of Destiny-- I'm guessing that Halo missed out on this treatment.
Over at DestinyHub thesirchelios has written an article guessing at what we might expect from the different classes and factions of Destiny. So far there appear to be three known human Guardian classes (Hunter, Warlock, Titan) and five factions (Dead Orbit, Future War Cult, New Monarchy, Osiris and Seven Seraphs).
A good deal of new information about some of the alien races in Bungie's Destiny in this week's Mail Sack. Here, for instance, is some really interesting stuff about the Fallen from Urk:
Deej over at Bungie.net points the spotlight at the newest entry in the Bungie.net family of fansites: Destiny.Bungie.Org and its staff.
Ready Up Live is another gaming site that follows Bungie games, including Halo (and 343's Halo 4) and Destiny (as well as a little Minecraft thrown in, if you're into that sort of thing). Check out their site or their YouTube page for updates.
MoreConsole also has some video news and analysis pieces up about Destiny. There's one about the player classes and concept art, and then a frame-by-frame analysis of the PS4 reveal trailer.
