You are a Guardian, defender of the Last City of humanity in a solar system under siege by infamous villains. Look to the stars and stand against the darkness. Your legend begins now. Based on the beta at least, game content appears to be feature-complete, and even elements of the technology that might have been dumped - such as the changing time of day with all of the dynamic lighting and shadowing challenges that represents - are still retained. Certainly, the key interface between player and game feels just as smooth and responsive as it does on the PS4 and Xbox One, and enemy volume doesn't feel in any way reduced. A first-person shooter is defined by its combat, and in that regard, both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions feel as fast and frenetic as their more technologically empowered counterparts. Xbox 360 vs PlayStation 3 performance testing on the Destiny beta reveals a game that effectively plays in a like-for-like manner. The comparison extends to the pre-patch version of the PS4 game too.

In terms of overall presentation and polish, it doesn't quite feel as though it's up to the same standard as Bungie's last platform-exclusive title - Halo Reach - but it's an interesting example of the trades a developer has to make as it moves away from platform-exclusive game-making and into the cross-gen era. The end result is even more remarkable bearing in mind that Bungie had to get to grips with the technical curiosities of the PS3 architecture, while at the same time learning how to get the best from the new wave of Sony and Microsoft consoles.

Be sure to familiarize yourself with these such things so that you know what you're getting into. Bungie described the setting of Destiny as a "mythic science-fiction" world. [29] The setting, about 700 years in the future, follows a prosperous period of exploration, peace, and technological advancement known as the Golden Age. [30] In a universe where humans have spread out and colonized planets in the Solar System, an event known as "the Collapse" saw the mysterious dissolution of these colonies, the end of the Golden Age, and mankind teetering on the brink of extinction. The only known survivors of the Collapse are those living on Earth, who were saved by "the Traveler", a white, spherical celestial body whose appearance centuries before had enabled humans to reach the stars. [31] The Collapse was caused by a mysterious force called the Darkness, an ancient enemy of the Traveler that plagues the galaxy. The Traveler now hovers damaged and comatose above the last safe city on Earth, simply called The Last City, which is surrounded by a massive Wall, and its presence allows the Guardians — the defenders of the City — the ability to wield an unknown power, only referred to as "Light". The player takes on the role of a Guardian, and is tasked with reviving the Traveler while investigating and destroying alien threats before humanity is completely wiped out.
