Wow, my morning is made. It's scary that so much information was available to us, and we are just figuring some of it out, like the Dead Orbit logo. I wonder what else is right in front of us?

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

I came for Halo, but I heard the Tru7h, fought thru Carnage, and stayed for Bungie.

The only information excluded from the source is Tagburos by the Table Head (which looking at the Google Earth map, seems innaccurate).

Other than that, enjoy your exploring.

Hi I'm RT and I like to argue!

ODST Asklon poster

So what, I wonder, does "ASKLON" refer to. I mean, ostensibly, it's some company name in the Halo universe, but metaphorically, every element on that poster seems to mean something, or have some reason behind it. Earth and the white circle representing Earth and the Traveller, "Destiny Awaits" meaning the game Destiny awaits us, and the ASKLON logo seems to mimic/reference the Destiny logo itself. But, whence the name ASKLON? Does it mean something? Is it an anagram of something else?

Best guess I have is that it references the Israeli city of Ashkelon, but Ashkelon is not the "Last City on Earth" in the pictures, as that city has no coastline and Ashkelon does. So I don't really think that's a solid guess. Anyone else?

it's actually an anagram of "NO SLAK", to show the lack of coffee breaks in the office since 2009.

Alternatively it stands for "SK LOAN", where Bungie confess to have rented spartain ken 15 from Club Penguin to keep us entertained in the Darkness.

Avid Gamer, Techy and Computer Geek. Studying Computer Forensics & Security. - and yes, I'm jumping over a giant wooden acorn.

So Destiny is likely going to be at the VGA's? I don't think that question is relevant.

The real question about Destiny is:

Will it blend?

The best test for solid gameplay is its resistance to blending. If it cannot be blended, then it truly is a solid game.

The only information excluded from the source is Tagburos by the Table Head (which looking at the Google Earth map, seems innaccurate).

Other than that, enjoy your exploring.

Im guessing the `last city on Earth' is situated in Puerto Princesa then

I have seen many solid games blended.

I have never seen a liquid (or gaseous, for that matter) game that was even playable.

If you look into the bottom right corner of this concept art image you can see that the person is actually rendered in-game and not part of the concept art.

Looks awesome!
Looks photoshopped IMO.
Not photoshopped, that's not the right word for it.

Imagine, I am a concept artist hiking through the Cascade Mountain Range on one of my vacation days, and I see an amazing eroded gully surrounded by trees. I take out my camera, take a picture, and put it into a file of reference shots.

Fast forward to the future, and I want to draw concept art of a ruined human structure that has become overgrown. I pull up the picture in whatever drawing program I have, and I draw over the relevant bits, leaving bits of the background in that fit like the hill in the background and the bit of rubble to the left of the stairs that looks like it was part of the boulder field. I draw a character model in to give the picture a sense of scale.

Boom. Concept art created. Not everything should be drawn from scratch, especially terrain, I imagine that can be difficult to visualize, so starting with a reference picture makes all the sense in the world.

No, we're still waiting for step 7. For now, they're still just Bungie.

That looks so awesome. Rumours of a subscription fee are still floating around and making me rather uneasy but none the less, this is a great day for all!

I think the image of the sphere over the city has a coastline/port peeking in on the far right of the image (Id link it but Im using IE for xbox...which is a mare to type with by the way). I might just be forcing myself to see it though, it can be hard to tell with concept art.

  • 11.28.2012 8:23 AM PDT

You are, all of you, vermin. Cowering in the dirt thinking... what, I wonder? That you might escape the coming fire? No. Your city will BURN until its surface is but GLASS, and not even your knights will live to creep, blackened, from their holes to mar the reflection of our passage. The culmination of our journey, for your destruction, is the will of Dead Orbit. And I? I AM THEIR INSTRUMENT.

That's just people saying "Oh, I hope there's a ton of players, I hope that we won't have to pay something more to balance out the servers that we're going to need to have all these players!" It's not something to worry about right now, we can cross that bridge if it ever comes, and we have absolutely no information that points towards that bridge coming. Just because the shooter will have MMO elements doesn't mean it will cost the same as an MMO.
