Destiny is said to be "alive". It is based around an idea of having random encounters with people around the universe. During any time in a explore mission you could run into another player who isn't part of your fire-team. Also community events can happen randomly and do bring the promise of rewards.

Destiny is set in the future, several hundred years after a period known as the Golden Age. Humans have branched out and begun to colonize planets all across are solar system. Suddenly though everything changed. A event known as the collapse ended the colonies and also the period of Gold. The only survivors of this catastrophic event were the humans still residing on planet Earth. These humans were saved by the "Traveler," a white sphere.
The people that survived tried to repopulate the Earth only to find that a alien race has begun to sprawl up in all their past colonies. Their is only safe city left, and the alien's are encroaching on this place to. The only hope for survival is the guardians.
Locations

Who are they? The guardians are the character you will play as. There are three different classes of guardian, and inside of those three different classes, there are three different species.
Species:

Humans:"relatable, tough, and uncomplicated"
Awoken:"exotic, beautiful, and mysterious"
Exo:"sinister, powerful, and tireless"

Classes:

Hunter:Nimble and quick, meant to get in, do recon, and get out without being seen.
Warlock:Space wizards
Titan:Favor heavy weapons, powerful

????:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Everything I am about to say is speculation, but I believe this is the raid game-mode. Raids are defined as you and 6 friends or you and 5 friends entering a vault and having to clear out all the enemies inside. There are riddles, challenges, and things you won't believe. The rewards are high and so are the hours. These will be at least multi-hour gaming sessions.

Cabal:

This game is going to have more armor and weapons than Bungie has ever put into a game, and there is a TON! Therefore instead of rewriting a list I can just link to a post with it. Credit to King for his great post! Destiny: Armor and Weapons

The Iron Banner is a limited time event. It only unlocks at certain times. What is has different compared to the normal crucible is that armor abilities are active. So damage boosts and any other cool things you have or don't have can be used.

This is the only multiplayer gamemode in Destiny that we know anything about. It is 6v6, and is basically a combination of team-deathmatch and domination from the Call of Duty series. You hold flags and the more flags you hold the more of a bonus you get when you kill an enemy. So 1 flag only grants you a x1 bonus where three flags will grant you a x3 bonus.

In Destiny you level up by experience also known as XP. You can gain xp through everything you do in the game, killing fallen, crucible, or strike missions. Once you reach level 20 you can no longer level up simply by xp. Now you need light.
XP will help you earn progress towards motes of light, but you also need to find special armor. Armor that contains light.
The theory is that the more armor you have that contains light the faster you will be able to turn xp into motes of light.

As you kill enemies and complete strikes you will not only be gaining xp towards your level, but also towards your subclass, armor, and weaponry.
When you gain enough xp you will be notified that a upgrade is ready.
Sub-classes:
Sub-classes are what make your character unique. They give you the special ability to do things that make your characters class unique. Such as double and triple-jump for the hunter. Your subclass looks like this...
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Also there are multiple sub-classes for each class. You have to just reach the rank required to use the next sub-class.
Weapon Upgrades:
In a similar way you can upgrade your weapons. These allow for new sites, damage bonuses, and other helpful things that make your guardian combat efficient. For the gun to be upgrade-able it must be of at least uncommon rarity. The upgrade trees for guns look like this...
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
Armor Upgrades:
You can also upgrade your armor. It is very similar to the weaponry as there are not as much upgrade options and the trees also have a similar appearance to them.

Everything that you can physically put on or use as a weapon in Destiny has a classification. Obviously the more highly classed, or rare, an item is the more abilities, and most likely higher stats it will have.
Classifications are as follows:
White:Common
Green:Uncommon
Blue:Rare
Purple:Legendary
Gold:Exotic

Chests are located all around Destiny's many in game locations. Chests give you glimmer and sometimes loot. Chests vary in rareness and the loot they give also varies in rareness.
White Chests:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The most common chest you will see. Mostly gives you glimmer, sometimes armor pieces of common classification will come with.
Odd Chests:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
These chests appear randomly and give you better loot than the white chests along with glimmer.
Gold Chests:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
The rarest of the chests. Award the best loot, and are usually hidden very well around the maps.

Glimmer is the currency in Destiny. It allows you to buy things from the tower sellers. You can buy weapons, ships, and also buy decoded engrams. Glimmer can be earned through bounties, grimoire cards, chests, and also simply through killing enemies.

The Cryptarch is the person in the tower that decodes engrams. You can buy engrams to decode or you can find engrams in the wild to give to him. The more you buy/find and give the more your "reputation" goes up. With this reputation you gain the ability for the Cryptarch to decode more complex engrams.

This is the currency of the Vanguard. Which is a unconfirmed faction in Destiny. With these marks you gain the ability to increase your Vanguard ranking. The higher your vanguard ranking the more powerful weapons and armor you can buy from the vanguard traders.

More rare weapons and abilities have elements to them. Equipping the right element for the right situation can be very beneficial to you as they can deal more damage to certain enemies.
Arc Damage:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
This damage is very effective against Fallen Captains and other enemies with blue shields.
Solar Damage:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
This damage is very effective against Hive Wizards and other enemies with orange shields.
Void Damage:
[ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
This damage is very effective against Darkness and other enemies with purple shields.

Just recently there was a question and answer with a staff member from Bungie talking about raids. To summarize what was talked about, was that they are not going to help you through raids. It is going to be mostly you and the communities job to figure out. There is also two different difficulties normal and hard. Hard is unlocked once the normal mode is complete.

Bungie being partnered with PS4 would obvious bring you to the idea of exclusive content, and well it has been confirmed. Playstation users will be getting exclusive weapons, multiplayer maps, ships, and armor. Here is what is all looks like...

There has been confirmed at least one map from arena multiplayer that will be having a show on Mercury.

PlaystationLifestyle.net wrote Destiny servers will admit Guardians as soon as it is September 9th somewhere in the world. When you play is between you and your retailer.

Meaning that people in Australia will be able to play the game sooner than users in Europe and the US. This would not be such a big problem to some users, but Bungie has stated that they will be awarding people who do world firsts. This is what makes some users angry. Because they feel that other users will get a head start in completing these tasks.

Grimoire cards are achieved by various ways in Destiny. Mainly through tasks and discoveries. What they allow you to do is unlock more lore about Destiny. The progress cna be checked through the Destiny app on your cellular device.

More information for a location that had nothing known about it has been released. It is located inside a astroid belt and is the home to the Awoken. The Awoken fled here after the fall. The rumor is that this location will be another social hub much like the tower. Where players will be able to view their characters in third person as well as access shops.
