Here's the Full 12-Minute Destiny Gameplay Demo from E3

Is this how you talk to people when you play multiplayer games? I don't talk to people like this when I play multiplayer games.

@paparoach: Id say Borderlands + Halo is a better description, and it sounds good to me.

Exactly the same "live" footage as shown at Sony's E3 conference, just with different (still awful) "banter". E3 demo was 2 guys going through the wall then joined by a girl playing as the Titan. How anyone seriously believes these people are actually playing pre-alpha games live on stage (with all the attendant risks of crashes et.) is beyond me. Just keep thinking of the Killzone 2 "gameplay demo" from a few years ago.

It is evident that it was a live demo, because you can see the subtle differences between the presentation at the Sony conference as compared to this "ideal" play through. Everything about this demo is scripted--the dialogue between players and every action every player makes (as well as much of the friendly and enemy AI) in order to highlight and draw the viewer's attention in no uncertain terms to the varied components of this game. I encourage you to compare the two presentations more attentively if you're still skeptical and also check out some of the behind-the-scenes stuff on the Bungie YouTube page.

It really is interesting that they state the game is in a "pre-alpha" stage because the section they showed looks pretty damn close to a complete game. From the way they've been discussing the game, it sounds like much of their focus is simply building a shitload of content for it.

This looks like Mass Effects meets Rage meets Avatar. In other words, generic and derivative.

Gameplay looks decent though. I wish I had a co-op friend like Darla

This game actually looks pretty good. It's nice of them to,you know, SHOW IT. As for multiplayer talk, there needs to be more swearing and more blaming and overall complete collapse of cooperation to be realistic.

I don't talk to people when I play games. We have keyboards, and they were made for typing. Text chat, people.

hmm.. I would have liked to see a bit more focus on tea bagging and it would have been nice to have at least one of the other players go into a horrible hyper-racist foul mouthed rant.

@bombedyermom it definitely sounds like Dinklage and his style. I haven't seen any casting announcements for the game yet, though.

Gaahhhh it took like eight minutes in to get the context that the voice acting wasn't from the game, it was from the presenters. It's TERRIBLE!! I was so afraid that this was actually in the game.

Would've made it harder to believe anybody thought this looked any good that way.

Man, his voice is so irritating.

The more I see of this game, the less excited I get. It doesn't seem that innovative.

If nothing else, e3 2013 has all but guaranteed that every studio developing anything this year will begin every trailer with a placating "we <3 Gamerz" lip service disclaimer lest they be labelled as evil greed machines...

First off, the game looks visually stunning. But outside of slight Mass Effect-ian cross-species characters and Borderlands aesthetic/weapon system, can anyone please tell me how this is not just another humanity's-last-hope-against-the-aliens Halo? Nothing particularly wrong with that I guess, but what is new in this game that hasn't been done to death in several sequel franchise games already? Isn't this supposed to be some new vision? I don't see it, at least not in this 12-minute trailer to be fair.

I hope the spontaneous multiplayer events stuff actually works, but I wonder if this game falls apart if you play solo, considering so much of the encounters appear to be balanced in terms of scope and scale for multiple people. I feel like a single player campaign would be too watered down .

Hopefully we'll see more Titanfall gameplay soon, I feel like that game is trying more new things in this genre that look fun and exciting. Oh next generation, please start soon...

I'm so psyched for this game and just love the melding of some of my fav game universes. And they let Staten geek out...so what. Never underestimate the internet when it comes to overreacting to totally inconsequential things, lol.

Developers should stop talking to each other when they're playing a live demo. You sound ridiculous and honestly just dumb down the experience.

On topic though, Destiny looks cool. Love their work with Halo but as with their previous work, it's extremely boring to watch but incredibly fun to play.

I'm not impressed by any of it, aside from the environment and character designs.

I thought the E3 demo for The Division came the closest to sounding like real chatter. It almost sounded like the characters talking, but listening to what they were actually saying it was more obviously players saying stuff. And it wasn't too shabby.

My exact talk! Until I read your comment just now, I was under the impression that The Division had great voice acting. Really dynamic as well! Real next-gen.

This sounds weird without the E3 spiel talking over it. They showed some good gameplay footage, so who cares what they say.

This looks a lot like Halo in a the right ways.

How dare they call that a gun skilltree?!?

Its only a single narrow path, its a leveling system where you end up maxing even the rarest and legendary weapons, solely trough time commitment ie grinding.

Grinding i normally am not opposed to but looking at how linear the level design is this demo has put me off from Destiny. Guess titan fall will be my next gen shooter of choice.
