Further interviews and updates and here is a brief summary of the background story.
I was actually not going to talk about this, but I can do a little bit. Let me give you the short windup to the story. The thing is going to be in the first 60 seconds of the game. A few years from today, our present, this alien intelligence, the Traveler, comes to Earth, and we don’t know a lot, we don’t remember a lot about this time, but we know a few things that are to survive. We don’t know if the Traveler was a ship, or a god, or a moon, or whatever, but we know this thing came and we know that it settled on Mars and that it began to share its amazing technology with us, and a city grew up around it, and all this. And it started what we now call The Golden Age, and humanity spread throughout the solar system, human lifespan tripled, we terraformed planets – it was amazing. It was the best times humanity had ever seen. But the traveler had enemies – one enemy in particular. And when that enemy caught up with it at Earth, an enemy that’d been chasing it for millennia across the galaxy, a horrible battle happened. We remember almost nothing about this, this is in the distant past of the game. That’s what we call The Collapse. So that’s the solar system we inherit, is one where humanity had spread to all worlds, all the moons, all the asteroid belts, had built great things, and then had to abandon them– being driven out of them and been killed. And humanity shrunk back after this battle against the ancient enemy of the Traveler, where the Traveler itself was crippled and fell silent above Earth. Humanity was driven back to this one spot underneath the Traveler – the one safe spot in the solar system – and built the city. That’s where the guardians come from, and the guardians’ grail quest is to drive back the Darkness and wake the Traveler. And then in fact, it just got worse than that because this ancient enemy of the Traveler – the Darkness – is returning, and so there’s even more urgency. And another battle is going to be fought, and the Traveler is crippled and silent. Without it, we’ll be defenseless.

I'm the opposite. I think it all looks and sounds flipping awesome. Can't wait to see how the final game plays.

This! Can't wait to sink my teeth into that Bungie goodness :D I'm hoping it doesn't out to be something like Borderlands though, it looked and sounded awesome in concept but I've never been able to stomach completing the game, and I can't seem to be able to play it for longer than about an hour at a time.
 
The people who are interested in destiny which consoles do you have/ will you be getting it on?

I'm a huge halo fan and previously had the original Xbox one/ 360 but with the destiny beta on ps4 first and the general (Ps4 better than xbone) consensus, I'm not sure now? The fact that Microsoft studios still owns the halo IP and likely halo 5 will be an xbone exclusive throws another spanner in the works.

As long as there is a competitive multiplayer element I'm in!
 
There's no likely about it, halo 5 will be an xbox one exclusive. (very unlikely PC as last PC release was halo 2)

I'll be getting it on xbox one (pending reviews). I don't think it'll be pushing hardware to limits considering its coming out on 360 and ps3 also.

Halo is certainly XB exclusive due to Microsoft owning the IP, however Bungie are no longer involved, so are they going to be as good as the Bungie games? I suspect not.

There probably won't be massive differences between PS4 and XB1 versions of Destiny, most likely to be just a resolution difference
