If you are a sane software engineer, then you store something like that, and perform all the calculations related to it, on the server rather than the client. Otherwise your console versions would also be vulnerable to e.g. man-in-the-middle attacks.

I had given up on vanilla Destiny after only a few hours, but got back in just before TTK, and I don't regret that decision. Put a ton of time into it, and had a blast, by and large. I am very much looking forward to what Destiny 2 has in store.

Announced today as in the official announcement of Destiny 2, the release date, and/or the beta date?

Yes, MMO developers have been able to do this just fine for decades, i'm not sure why it would be different in Destiny?
That's the bit where I zone out and start browsing GAF again.

Didn't they say when they announced it that they wanted the gameplay to show for its self? Or something along those lines. Maybe I'm imagining things though.
And actually make unique and interesting content outside the raids? Hahahaha no. You'll take your slow moving, giant bullet sponge boss with aoe stomp and splash damage mortar and like it.

You can't go there!

D1 is my goat console game. 1500+ hours bring on the sequel.

It won't be. D1 already works like that.

Ahhhh, makes sense. I played boat loads on Xbone, but have no idea how it was handled there. Presumably, the former, as you've laid out. Otherwise i assume we would've seen that kind of "hacking" already at some point.
Well, lets hope for all our sakes, you're wrong =P. But if the beta is really coming to PS4 first, that's presumably where the marketing partnership lies (therefore, not with MS), so that might lead one to believe there's no reason Activision would show any favrotism towards MS by putting it exclusively on the Win Store.
Well, lately the marketing cycle employed by most publishers is to slowly trickle out information. Start with a bare-bones announcement, followed by exclusive Game Informer cover, and then a larger preview event with coverage a couple months down the line. So I would be surprised if Bungie gave a lot of details today.

I believe it was said that it's been decently overhauled compared to what they had for D1, so that actually making/changing content isn't completely long and horrible anymore.
If not rumored, you would at least hope this is the case after all this time.

I just want to see the new revamped Destiny. Judging by that poster pic with the helm-less Guardians, they might be focusing on how your Guardian looks (customization) upfront.
The more I look at it, the more I'm loving how the new Guardians look. Its a fantastic revision with a touch of realistic.

Seeing as a major focus of the sequel was to overhaul and streamline their dev process, I'm guessing not too much.
Some of the stories about how difficult it was for them to make new content were jarring.

Are you thinking of Titanfall? The best part of Destiny is the multiplayer but there's a ton of content designed for a single player to complete (but will scale up in difficulty if you add friends).
It's all done server-side in Destiny you can see this if your connection goes to shit as you decrypt engrams at the tower.

ITT: people apparently never played any PC MMO ever.
Destiny is client/server so you can't force the game to give you weapons, even on the 360 and PS3 nobody ever figured out how to get themselves Fate Of All Fools, etc.

If it's coming to PC (and I'm sure it is because Jason is the world's greatest Press Sneak Fuck) then I'll give it a shot. The first game really turned me off, but I hope they've learned enough lessons to make the second one much stronger.

Oh man it being on PC makes me so happy. I really hope the launch is smoother than Destiny 1 though. All my friends and I quit shortly after launch when most people did.
Willing to give it another try though, was really fun co-oping with friends. I wonder if it will be crossplay between platforms to PC. I assume not.

Same. I dabbled in the beta for Destiny and liked it but I could tell that it's one of those games that needs to be the one game you play and I think I was playing a lot of Diablo 3 at the time or something.I haven't played Destiny but can't freaking wait for Destiny 2
Anyway, this time I'm ready to dive in from the start.
I played every story missions of Destiny and it's expension alone.

Interested to see what direction they go with Destiny 2.

They can't do that. There has to be fps parity between XB1/Scorpio and PS4/Pro. Otherwise they'll have to split the PVP up.
Thank you Jason
It was actually Eurogamer's scoop, and they commited to confirm the leak 2 hours before Kotaku did.....
