Bungie - Destiny

I really wanted to talk about the thing that I am really looking forward to. 
And that obviously is Destiny : D 
With Destiny, Bungie seemed to approach it with a "go big, or go home!" attitude. 
After the Halo series they have created, and already changed the whole first person shooters world. They are out on changing it again. And the expectations are very high mainly based on the pure awesomeness of Bungie itself. They are a living legend.
Many people say that this game is designed to be "the best shooter you've ever played." And just hearing that, just makes me really impatient D: I WANT IT NOOOW!
The storyline is supposed to be unfolding for 10 years or so. With secrets and clues not being obvious and/or  explained for years D: And that, is indeed very awesome : D As I always say, storyline, is half a battle.

In the game, players will take the role of the 'Guardians'. On the quest of protecting all they have left, and reclaiming all they have lost. They will have to battle alien species, set on destroying humanity's last man standing. 
I've been reading about how much they have invested in this game. Apparently they spent more on concept art for Destiny, than they did on all Halo's combined! And I mean, that's a excessive amount. 
They seem to be taking this veeeeery seriously, if they are investing so much into it. 

What I've been quite happy about is finding out that the person they hired to do the music for Halo's - Marty O'Donnell, is working with them again!! YESSS!!! And he's working with THEE Paul McCartney. 
I was so happy to hear that because I LOOOOOOVE the music from Halo. 
Music in up to Halo 3, had certain attitudes that were obviously castrated in Halo 4. 
 But that's enough of my opinions etc.
Here is a bit of their concept art for the game. 







And a few words from Activision, the producers.
"Set in the distant future, Destiny casts players as Guardians of the last city on Earth, who will traverse the ancient ruins of our solar system from the red dunes of Mars to the lush jungles of Venus.
Able to wield incredible power, players must battle humanity's enemies and reclaim all that was lost during the collapse of mankind's Golden Age. In a story-driven universe,
Destiny's saga unfolds through grand tales and sweeping adventures by immersing gamers in a bold new world filled with cooperative, competitive, public, and social activities, all seamlessly connected."
