"New" Concept art from PS4 Conference Compiled - Thoughts?

When I watched the Destiny bit at the PS4 conference, I was lagging like a mother-hubber and I wasn't paying alot of attention to the concept art in the background, noticing that alot of it was stuff we'd already seen before. Looking today though, I noticed they [i]did[/i] scroll some concept art that I'm not sure are readily available anywhere else! Dunno if anyone else compiled these but since I was bored I thought I'd put em up here :P They're varying quality and resolution due to their appearance on the stream. [url=http://i.imgur.com/tvqGPzF.png]Concept 1[/url] Random environment. [url=http://i.imgur.com/3NODDUc.png]Concept 2[/url] At first glance, I thought this was the wall that we've seen in other concept art before, and while it still might be, it appears to be different art. Is that a ruined road with abandoned cars running along the bottom? It almost appears to be punctuated by road lights. Or is it some sort of a garbage dump, with the large opening in the wall on the right being the actual runoff? Also, a few structures and an air/spacecraft in the background. [url=http://i.imgur.com/9osVfiC.png]Concept 3[/url] Another random environment with some sort of building; possibly on Mars due to all the red. [url=http://i.imgur.com/c4GP9Ef.jpg]Concept 3-2[/url] Another look at Concept 3, a bit higher quality but obstructed by our favorite blazer-sporting boy band. [url=http://i.imgur.com/bHbnrdp.png]Concept 4[/url] Low res concept of what appears to be a Guardian sending some sort of Traveler energy (most likely) towards what might be a Space Zombie/"Hive," as made a little clearer in 4-2. [url=http://i.imgur.com/BBlDxNJ.png]Concept 4-2[/url] The camera shifts, and we only get a split-second glimpse of a higher quality version of Concept 4, bringing the attacking party into a bit better focus. Appears to be a Space Zombie/"Hive" as I see what appears to be the distinctive three green eyes on its head, as well as being surrounded by other of the "Hive." [url=http://i.imgur.com/GdqUJBh.png]Concept 5[/url] A Guardian sneaking around a ruined environment at night, possibly somewhere on Earth due to the decidedly human nature of the surrounding structures. [url=http://i.imgur.com/KIzLjmt.png]Concept 6[/url] We never really get a high quality version of this one, but it appears to be an overgrown alien ruin of some sort... [url=http://i.imgur.com/nr4NS6v.png]Concept 7[/url] Bungie's segment ends, the camera pans out and we get a glimpse of two last pieces of concept art on the side monitors, this one exhibiting a Guardian with a rifle pointed squarely at the chest of what appears to be a Fallen... (side note: does it have its hands in the air in attack? Or in a sign of surrender/peace? The Guardian is not actively firing at the Fallen. Curious...) [url=http://i.imgur.com/mpZfayr.png]Concept 8[/url] ...and the final piece of art exhibiting some sort of a creepy figure. If I were to take a guess, I would say this is another version of the Space Zombies/Hive, but I can't be too sure... EDIT: [url=http://i.imgur.com/3ZqmmEI.png]Concept 9[/url] Pointed out by Pfhor007, here are two bits of what could be art or in-game assets from the moonbase we see in the PS4 gameplay! [url=http://i.imgur.com/zVdTxwG.png]Concept 9-2[/url] Moonbase on a larger monitor. Anyway, sorry for the long post, but I hope you guys enjoy. Any thoughts?

  • Concept 5 seems awesome to me because it looks comparable to a modern day city but it is obviously in the future. Concept 4-2 has inspired me to make a new thread based on the "Hive". I have a theory for that creature in the back.

  • I love how this all looks a lot like Marathon and Myth concept art. Bungie's still got its own recognisable style, even if I can't actually describe it. Hyper-detailed, tightly-stylised, epic but conceivable. Love it.

  • If you look at [url=http://i.imgur.com/c4GP9Ef.jpg]Concept 3-2[/url] to the right of the screen, you can see that it's the top portion of [url=http://i.imgur.com/3NODDUc.png]Concept 2[/url]. There are some huge structures that connect up to some Traveler-looking spheres. Just thought that was kind of interesting.

  • this is my hunch on concept 3 - I think that's on Mercury or Venus(but more likely Mercury). I believe the glowing sphere in the background is the sun, so judging by its size the planet would have to be extremely close up

  • Is there any of this in higher quality? Could use it for destinypedia.

    • Good Work! Concept 6 btw looks like one of the areas the three guardians are walking through in the announcement vidoc.

      • Nice find, or at least, giving us the ability to examine these further.[quote][url=http://i.imgur.com/9osVfiC.png]Concept 3[/url] Another random environment with some sort of building; possibly on Mars due to all the red. [url=http://i.imgur.com/c4GP9Ef.jpg]Concept 3-2[/url] Another look at Concept 3, a bit higher quality but obstructed by our favorite blazer-sporting boy band.[/quote]Now, I would like to point out something about this concept art. I don't think it's Mars. I believe this is Mercury. Mercury being the closest to the sun, it seems that this would fit. Seeing as how the Sun is freaking HUGE in this concept art, and the architecture seems to be deep city grooves blocking the inhabitants from the Sun. It seems that would make sense, if Earth were to colonize Mercury. How do we stop from being burnt up? We can't terraform Mercury, so lets block the Sun from the inhabitants, build huge city skyscrapers that block the Sun. Just my take away though.

        • All of them are marvelous but the last two are just down right pimping. BTW, concept 8 resembles Craig Mullins concept art of a S'pht Compiler from Marathon...well at least to me. ;)

            Thanks for these! I've been asking DeeJ for high quality pieces in the mail sack threads, but to no avail. :( BTW, there is one more, towards the end of the conference, next to the Vex picture, there is one of a moon base.
