It sounds like the new 'Destiny' is very similar to the old 'Destiny' - here's what critics are saying

Nearly three years ago, a new gaming franchise launched with an ambitious plan: To evolve the first-person shooter genre into something new, something bigger.

Whether or not the plan was a success is a matter of ongoing debate, but one thing isn't: Millions of people loved the first "Destiny," played it incessantly for years, and are very excited for the upcoming sequel.

"Destiny 2" is scheduled for launch on September 8, for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC - months from now! But press got an early look at the game on Thursday in California. We've rounded up the highlights of what we've heard thus far.
