That was all Dinklage voice work.
Not alot of character to it

Unlike Halo, you'll need to unlock Destiny's multiplayer mode
Bungie confirms you won't be able to play Destiny's multiplayer mode right out of the box.
by Eddie Makuch on May 1, 2014

In a new interview with Eurogamer, Bungie investment lead Tyson Green revealed that the multiplayer mode for upcoming multiplayer shooter Destiny won't be available right out of the box. Instead, you'll need to unlock it, which could take "a couple of hours," Green says. But once you do unlock Destiny's multiplayer mode, all of your characters can play without restriction, Green says.

This is a departure from Bungie's famous Halo series, where users could--and often did--jump right into multiplayer the day they got their copies. So why require players unlock Destiny's multiplayer? Green says it's because Bungie wants to make sure characters have the necessary equipment so they don't get throttled on the battlefield.

"We found early on that people here in the studio, when they jumped on the game--these were people who were already really familiar with the game mechanics--they would roll a new character, play through the first mission then go right into PvP, and they would just get really beaten up by the other players because they didn't have a super ability yet and they'd only got an auto rifle from the first mission," Green said.

That's another major difference between Halo and Destiny. In the multiplayer modes for past Halo games, all players enter each match on a somewhat level playing field. They can find better weapons on the map, of course, but there wasn't much in the way of progression. This isn't the case for Destiny, as you'll discover unique weapons, equipment, and abilities during campaign that will carry over to multiplayer.

Destiny's three classes (Hunter, Titan, Warlock) each have their own "focus," which carries your abilities--including a super ability--within it. Each class will have two focuses to start with, and new focuses can be unlocked over time through standard gameplay progression.

By the time players finally do unlock Destiny's multiplayer mode, they will have already completed one or two campaign missions and gained a special weapon and a super ability. This should prepare them for multiplayer, Green says.

This approach may be different than the route Bungie took with Halo, but Green says he thinks most players will understand and agree with the decision. "I think most people are going to say, 'I want to have my super ability, I want to have my Golden Gun before I go into a PvP match against other players.'"

Destiny launches September 9 for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and PlayStation 4. A beta for the game launches this summer, first on PlayStation platforms.

Kinda reminds me of a serious version of borderlands. I'm not excited for the game but I'll get it regardless.

Looks okay so far, I think the game is gonna be awesome playing with friends.

I've thought of this game as of late, and all the comments by some that it looks 'meh' or 'boring' and have realized they are right - to a degree. And the reason for that for me is clear: its all out of context. We know next to nothing on story, characters, who is fighting whom, and why. Sure, we have some broad strokes, like The Fallen are the badguys......even Dinklage sounds like he phoned in his performance at this stage.

I am not worried. Bungie knows what they are doing. Can't wait to play, but also want way more details on Story as of E3

Borderlands meets Mass Effect. Looks promising, if not mind blowing. Probably more fun to play than to watch.

 

[Matt S]

Agreed

Anyone know if there's an option to play this 3rd person? I have nothing against first person shooters but they make me extremely nauseous (as do movies that subscribe to the hand held camera fad).

Pretty sure Third Person is only in the Hub City.
