E3 Expo 2013: Pastrami Nation’s Best of E3-Best Shooter: Destiny

Best Shooter: Destiny

Bungie, the company that brought the world the iconic Halo series for Microsoft, has now moved on to something new, something bigger. Destiny is their next big shooter, and from what we saw at E3, it deserves all of the hype it’s getting. Lush backdrops, an array of firepower at your disposal, and the next standout characters that all will be talking about. After watching a theater displayed live gameplay session, I am convinced that this game will set the bar for the next generation: it just might be its destiny.

Destiny – Activision in partnership with Bungie, the creators of Halo®, will showcase Destiny, the next evolution in interactive entertainment that brings first-person action gamers together in a shared, persistent online world filled with sweeping adventures.  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, gamers 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 epic adventures by immersing players in a bold new universe filled with cooperative, competitive, public, and social activities, all seamlessly connected.  (Developed for the PlayStation 4 system, PlayStation 3 system, Xbox One and Xbox 360; not yet rated by the ESRB.)
