I refuse to get hyped about Destiny again

According to the earlier reports by Schreier, yes.

Ok, maybe a little. Got a link?

 

[wesleyshark]

Welp. It's real.

😁😁😁😁😁😁

 

[Triggerhappytel]

I had 0 interest in Destiny after its beta. Not sure what D2 has to do differently to get me on board. Stronger narrative focus would help.

Yep; I enjoyed the first game but my main hope for the sequel would be a stronger story and some proper, linear levels with scripted sections to make it feel more alive and exciting. The level design in Destiny 1 was generally really good, but it was used for dull missions and lacked any kind of believability or dynamic feeling.

 

[Oneself]

Looks 100% real.

 

[EL CUCO]

Welp. It's real.

I hope Jason some tasty morsels of new info for us soon. I can't wait to hear more about it.

 

[Warnen]

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Hope its 3rd person

 

[TheChundertaker]

I feel this is going to be to Destiny what Uncharted 2 was to Uncharted.

Here's hoping. I was very disappointed by Launch Destiny and only got back in for a bit when a friend bought me a copy of the Taken King Bundle. I enjoyed that much more than the base game. The writing was fun and gave me actual motivation to shoot things. Hopefully we get a game more in tune with that experience, and the horde mode is back in.

 

[panama chief]

For people complaining about a lack of helmets...remember that the only thing carrying over is your guardians appearance. That would be trivial if you always had on a helmet.

 

[GlamFM]

Hope its 3rd person

lol

 

[anothertech]

For zods sake let space dragons exist in the sequel.

 

[E92 M3]

Fake, they are using Gunsmith test weapons.

 

[TheCanisDirus]

Hope its 3rd person

lol no.

Well maybe give people an option for 3rd person in PvE... but keep that wack, corner peaking shit out of PvP. I'd be OK with that.

 

[HStallion]

That's a pretty uninspired poster.

 

[wesleyshark]

For zods sake let space dragons exist in the sequel.

The Nine agree

 

[V1ctIm]

You don't want to play a game because of one marketing image?

I'm just saying that to me this image does nothing to get me excited about playing the game. The atmosphere looks bland, the weapons and armor look nearly identical to everything we've worn heretofore, the characters all look human, and...well that's all you can really tell from that image. So yeah, I'm not feeling like playing this based solely on this image which is the entire focus/purpose of this thread.

That said, DGaf has been the absolute best gaming community I have ever been involved with and Destiny was made infinitely more amazing because of all of you guys and gals. So in speaking generally about D2, I cannot wait to get my hands on alpha/beta/full release and spend thousands more hours exploring the incredible universe with you.

 

[night_golf]

Fake, they are using Gunsmith test weapons.

oh, come on, that doesn't make it fake. if anything that just gives the Gunsmith a layer of lore.

Test weapons...for the sequel.

 

[oti]

Hope its 3rd person

 

[HiredN00bs]

Yay, I can't wait to learn Center Dudebro's backstory. I bet he's shot a lot of dudes, and possibly one or two bros on accident. War is tough.

Also apparently he is a Lannister.

A Lannister always pre-orders his games.

 

[Madness]

Bungie with the September releases etc. At least now without having to focus on the last gen consoles, they can really make the game visually more stunning. Have more things to do.

Luke is going to knock it out of the park with the new raids they're coming up with. Here's hoping PvP gets some more skill based modes. Maybe a Halo style equal starts pro variant that lets everyone play on equal footing.

 

[E92 M3]

I don't want to test weapons in the sequel

 

[deleted]

I hope it comes to PC like heavily rumored - best way possible would be cross platform MP.
Due to Rocket League we are around 10 people playing regularly atm and we even transitioned to Titanfall 2 momentarily. But there aren't enough people around to sustain us for a longer period.

I'd love to play this cooperatively and versus. Hopefully matchmaking is up to PC standards.

 

[Spades]

The female character shown looks kind of like Gadot.

 

[TheChundertaker]

I see the 3rd person comments and I know it won't happen, but I wouldn't mind the switch. For all the problems I had with Destiny, the art was goddamn stellar, especially the character design. It always seemed weird you could only appreciate your cool guy in a hub.

 

[Floody]

If true, weird they decided to give the faceless Guardians faces. Have they done that with any marketing art yet?


Edit: should add this isn't me thinking it proves it's fake, actually makes me believe it, as anyone who was gonna make a fake would also do them in a helmet, just find it weird.

 

[Floex]

Exciting times.

Poster looks a bit shit but it looks like one of those 'You're the hero' type of thing.

 

[GlamFM]

I wish they turned it into a 2D puzzle platformer.

 

[Mindwipe]

If true, weird they decided to give the faceless Guardians faces. Have they done that with any marketing art yet?

That's an incredibly Activision thing to do in key art. We should probably only be surprised that they didn't do it before.

I imagine it's because Bungie said no last time, wanting to encourage that sort of "the player should be able to imagine themselves as the face behind the mask" they always stuck to with Halo, and after the clusterfuck that was Destiny 1's launch Activision have simply decided to overrule them this time and go with their standard practice.

 

[Floex]

Why take one of the best things about Destiny (FPS) and make it 3rd person? Why are people asking for this? Make it optional, (for PVE anyway) sure but FPS should remain king.

 

[Lunafreya Nox Fleuret]

Looks entirely real.

 

[Guymelef]

If true, weird they decided to give the faceless Guardians faces. Have they done that with any marketing art yet?

That's why it's not weird to remark a new feature in the promo for a completely new game.

I'm absolutely sure it'll come to PC. Crossplay on the other hand? Doubtful. It's a FPS. It just doesn't work competitively.

 

[franklyshankly]

Hope its 3rd person

You know there is literally zero chance of that right?

 

[Neptonic]

Call of Duty: Chemical Warfare lol? Probably fake.

That is the worst name ever so I'm thinking this is super fake

 

[molnizzle]

2017 is such a goddamn savage. Christ.

 

[TheChundertaker]

I'm absolutely sure it'll come to PC. Crossplay on the other hand? Doubtful. It's a FPS. It just doesn't work competitively.

You could limit it to PVE Coop like Gears 4.

 

[Korosenai]

Fake, they are using Gunsmith test weapons.

It's real

 

[Collateral22]

3rd person for PvE is fine. Not PvP though.

 

[GlamFM]

Crazy talk.

 

[Vinterbird]

I'm absolutely sure it'll come to PC. Crossplay on the other hand? Doubtful. It's a FPS. It just doesn't work competitively.

At least the option. Or let me pick up the same character across platforms.

 

[BlazinAm]

Looks like there will be some PlayStation exclusivity again. I'm just hoping for a PC release.

 

[serenewarfare]

I don't need PC/console cross-play, but cross-save would be a godsend.

 

[Vince DiCola]

You just know they focus tested that logo to hell. Gotta let people know it's a sequel and not another DLC

They focus tested a large 2?

 

[Xater]

I don't need PC/console cross-play, but cross-save would be a godsend.

Characters were already shared on all platforms in the first game.

 

[molnizzle]

Characters were already shared on all platforms in the first game.

False.

They were shared between the same ecosystem. So 360 to Xbone and back. Or PS3 to PS4 and back. Not PS4 to Xbone (or vice versa).

 

[Floody]

Yeah, could be that.

That's why it's not weird to remark a new feature in the promo for a completely new game.

What new feature? Guardians have faces in 1, they just never had the 3 Guardians they use in pretty much all the marketing art have no helmet on.

 

[BlazinAm]

Characters were already shared on all platforms in the first game.

Even across ps4 and xbox One?

 

[TheChundertaker]

Characters were already shared on all platforms in the first game.

Really? Do you mean like 360 to One or like One to PS4?
