IGN is showcasing Destiny for the month of July with daily coverage that began on the 7th. They release their coverage at about 9 am PDT Monday through Friday. You can find it yourself at [url]http://www.ign.com/[/url] or come here for the entire collection of links to the coverage as it is released.
I thought it would be nice to have all of the IGN coverage compiled in one place, so I will edit this topic and continue to add all the IGN coverage as it comes, starting with the day 2 coverage, since collectors edition and beta information is pretty well known by now. Feel free to let me know if I missed any relevant links.

The Venus crucible map Shores of Time was extensively showcased:

It's interesting to note that the player earned psn trophies while playing.

Today a Mars crucible map, Blind Watch was showcased:

Interesting information was revealed about heavy ammo. It comes in ten seconds after the crucible announcer mentions it, and everyone in a 20 meter radius on a team receives heavy ammo when a member of that team activates the pickup.

The moon crucible map First Light, an alpha map, was toured today:

First Light is the largest map that will be featured in the beta, as well as the only map that includes vehicles. The time of day can be different each time the map is loaded, which was also demonstrated in the previous crucible maps but I forgot to mention.
[b]7/12-7/13[/b]
No coverage.
[b]7/14[/b]
The companion app is featured:

At around [url=http://youtu.be/QJsIY7RrVuY?t=2m33s]2:30[/url] the titan is shown to have 3 subclasses, pretty much confirming there are three subclasses per class.
[b]7/15[/b]
A pretty useless video of well known tips was uploaded today:

One interesting bit of information in the video is that there are five golden chests in the Cosmodrone area. Other than that, pretty disappointing day of coverage.

IGN recaps their experience with the beta:

[url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/07/16/how-the-destiny-beta-made-me-a-believer-a-ign-first]Text version of review[/url]
IGN contradicts itself on level cap with the text version of the review saying level 8 and the video stating level 7. Hylebos has a character at level 8, which seems to confirm a level 8 cap though (thanks to DigitalRegality for pointing this out).
[b]7/17[/b]
Crucible mechanics are summarized:

Expect delay on further updates. I will not guarantee punctual updates once I have the beta on my ps4. I do however plan to continue updating, so come back for more later.
[b]7/21[/b]
IGN has put up Xbox One footage:
[url=http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/07/21/destinys-first-ever-1080p-xbox-one-footage-ign-first]"First 1080p Xbox One footage"[/url]
The video hasn't been uploaded to youtube for some reason. Sorry mobile users. The beta will apparently not be running at 1080p, but by release Xbox One users will have Destiny at 1080p.

Hylebos has a beta character level 8.
-
Pretty good video today. Can't wait for the new content at the end of the month.
-
Edited with the videos for today. Somewhat interesting information today.
-
Edited by Nemesis Enforcer: 7/14/2014 4:36:44 PMAnd now with this companion app I'll never leave the bathroom. My life is complete. Thank you Bungie!

Edited by UNIT 242: 7/11/2014 6:31:02 PMWHY DO THEY PICK THE WORST PLAYER(S) TO FEATURE IN THESE VIDEOS? From today's alone "Oh let me hop into this flaming vehicle (WHEN HE HAD A ROCKET LEFT), seems legit" then dies immediately and he couldn't even shoot a guy in the head WHEN HE GOT STUCK ON AN OBJECT for 4 seconds. Still not as bad as the Mars gameplay omg, that dude was terrible.
-
That companion app is beast
-
Waiting on 07/12/2014 :)
-
Waiting.. And waiting..
-
this is better gameplay and its like a hour per vid http://youtu.be/oqGqpXWu0Zs

Edited by Tyger: 7/11/2014 9:16:22 PMTime of day can change In the crucible? Sweet, I don't remember that being in the alpha
-
It was painful watching that gameplay
-
Edited by Pheint3d: 7/11/2014 7:05:55 PMSo I just noticed a warlock melee a grenade and deflected it. I wonder if all guardians can do that or just the warlock Cause of the little force push ability. Surprised no one's said anything about that. Edit- meta says it seems more like it just bounced off the player. Guess that timed melee tricked me. Reminds me of having 2 weapons in halo and dropping them so a plasma shot hits the gun instead of you. Good little trick. I seen it on the mars match soon after it starts. Watch from 1 minute mark. I really Like the new sound effects.
-
So, what I gather from the moon tour video, either ryan can't count, or there will be one last tour video tomorrow, which means 5 beta pvp maps. Mayhaps we'll get to see some of that higher level stuff finally.
-
Was radar/motion sensor disabled for that game or something?
-
Edited with today's coverage.
-
why are all the vehicles open cockpit and basically reskins with different guns if any at all disgusting
-
here i am once again, thanks again. I'm too lazy to go to ign to find the links apparently.
-
I actually got to utilize the search bar for once since i couldn't find this thread in the sea of useless threads.
-
Good lord. The player in these is so -blaming!-ing bad.

[quote]Interesting information was revealed about heavy ammo. It comes in ten seconds after the crucible announcer mentions it, and everyone in a 20 meter radius on your team receives heavy ammo when you pick it up[/quote] Just as a bit of clarification it seems that Heavy ammo drops for anyone within 20 meters when a teammate triggers a heavy ammo box. You still have to physically pick it up. This can be seen in the rusted lands match.

Player death screams sound hilariously bad.
