First Impression: New Destiny Exodus Blue Map

Exodus Blue is a gorgeous looking highly focused map, packed full of secret passages and hidden spots that can help you gain vantage points over opponents, as you fight to prove yourself worthy to be called Guardian within the crucible.

edwardhuff6634272d ago

The map looks a lot like the Old Russia map from the beta. Its really hard telling the difference between them.

lisamorgan44272d ago

The map does look like the old russian one from the beta, but my hype level for this is till at 100. Really like those exclusive PlayStation gears and weapons on offer.

ArronNelson4272d ago

From the looks of Destiny Planet View app that launched yesterday this is the sort of images i think we can expect. Though i could be very wrong once the full version launches next week.

FamilyGuy4271d ago

It IS Old Russia, it says that it's Earth right there in the video and the only explorable area on Earth is Old Russia. I just wonder how they cap the area off, it looks like it's just walled-in compared to the same location in the story/explore mode.

alvinmiller924271d ago

Hmm interesting. Can't wait to see what other planets will look like visually come next week.

--Onilink--4271d ago

well, it probably is set IN Old Russia, though obviously it has a different layout than any part of Old Russia seen in single player.

Apart from the exclusive content not sure how I feel about the map.

danniellelewis4272d ago

This may very well be the most overhyped game of 2014.

Remember how everyone was going crazy over watch dogs? Look at it now.

lonz3584272d ago

Difference is, this game had an Alpha and Beta. Most people pretty much know what their getting, unlike Watch Dogs.

--Onilink--4271d ago

yes, most of the hype is actually coming in from the people that were left very excited after playing the beta.

Its a very different situation than when all the hype is coming from previews and no one has actually played the game

amyortega1314272d ago

Hype or not, I was sold by the beta.

EdnaJones974272d ago

Considering the amount of content, makes destiny worth the mont, unless your not into online only games.

charliewong9804272d ago

My only concern is will the servers be able to handle everyone at once, if it ends up being a midnight launch

Rooted_Dust4271d ago

If there's going to be an issue it'll be on Sony's end delivering the game files.

Everyone made a mad dash to get into the Beta and locked it up for a couple hours. Hopefully that won't happen again.

brettjones4944271d ago

Lets hope so, i can see that being a major problem on launch day.

Frankskint4271d ago

I remember reading somewhere that Bungie had increased their servers to see how much Destiny can take, especially on the final journey to the moon. Lets just hope they are fortified to handle the masses now.

--Onilink--4271d ago

well, that was the whole point of the Moon Mission in the Beta, they apparently recorded the most amount of people playing at a single time in their history. And even then, we only had some slight problems with crucible matchmaking

Considering they have had several Halo launches already, i think they are very well prepared for it, hopefully the PSN servers hold up too

GodGinrai4271d ago

The competitive MP in this game, just doesnt do it for me. Just as well, because I am more interested in the coop aspects of destiny.

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

619d ago
anast619d ago

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

InUrFoxHole619d ago

@anast
Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

anast619d ago (Edited 619d ago )

Yeah, I thought it out. I'm not sure you did. But since we are buddy's now, you're welcome.

Profchaos619d ago

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_619d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981619d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140619d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85619d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj619d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman619d ago (Edited 619d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake619d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn619d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg619d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07618d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Microsoft may have more money but Sony has the talented studios and the games to back up those studios.

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom619d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac619d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake619d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark619d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde618d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125618d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
