The week was all a build-up toward one massive event: the launch of the Destiny beta for the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 on Thursday. The game caused massive amounts of users to log into the PlayStation Network that resulted in a short outage. Nevertheless, gamers managed to get in some game time with Destiny for the first time since the alpha.
But before getting to Bungie's first-person shooter, earlier in the week Bandai Namco Games unveiled Tekken 7. Capcom's Yoshinori Ono also stated that the company has plans for another big game being announced “soon”.
