Destiny PS4

It wouldn’t be a Bungie release week without a completely empty release calendar. We can’t help but feel sorry for NHL 15, but we suppose that fans of ice hockey will pick up EA Sports’ latest trip to the ring regardless of the colossal Destiny banners plastered, well, everywhere. If you’re not looking forward to Activision’s first-person shooter, then you may want to program some kind of internal filter over the next few days, because we’re going to be blowing the intergalactic excursion wide open – starting with our regular Pick of the Week...

Pick of the Week: Destiny

It feels like an absolute eternity since four awkward looking Bungie employees appeared on Sony’s stage at last February’s PlayStation Meeting to announce that it had a signed a strategic partnership with the platform holder regarding its first original property in over ten years. Since then, the Japanese giant has revelled in every opportunity to remind you that the first-person shooter will be the best on the PlayStation 4 – now it just needs to keep the PlayStation Network online long enough for people to properly enjoy it.

Assuming that Sony can bat aside any impending DDoS attacks, then this week will find you finally able to explore the galaxy in your finest piece of armour, shooting strange little spacemen in the face with your friends – and the strangers that you encounter along the way. While we really enjoyed the beta, we do have some pressing questions about the quality of the final game. Will the story actually matter, for example? Is the Tower going to prove anything more than a glorified interactive menu? Will there be enough gear in the title to keep our loot lust satisfied? All will be revealed scarily soon.
