The first thing that struck us and probably many other players was simply just how gorgeous the game looked, even on the last generation of consoles. The draw distance went for miles with absolutely breathtaking scenery, character models looked crisp and menacing (both the guardians and the various foes you face on the beta) and a real acknowledgement must be given to Bungie for developing such a phenomenal lighting engine; we can only imagine how beautiful the final game will look on the PS4 and Xbox One.... Graphical power aside, Bungie have developed a fully detailed universe for Destiny. The various weapons and vehicles shown in the game feel futuristic, voice acting is absolutely solid and all the sounds and effects you would expect to hear in a Blockbuster sci-fi movie are present in the game. Unfortunately, as with every Beta, there was only so much of this breathtaking universe players could experience with the game only allowing access to one section of a ravaged, barren Earth landscape. Hopefully the final product will have a huge array of diverse and beautiful landscapes for players to explore.
