Destiny 2 Reveal Livestream [Over]

It was released on four systems and was hyped due to Bungie's last IP being Halo. Of course it's going to sell millions on hype alone.
Nah, I fucking loved it. I was hoping they would say dedicated servers for pvp.
GAF loves to hate on Destiny and that's fine. Let them hate and we'll enjoy the fun.

"Phoenix Dive" eh?
There seems to be a mysterious third ability cooldown on the HUD, so I'm guessing its a new ability tied to your super.

Lol come on. Destiny 2 is gonna do the same.
Yeah I'm with you there. I am excited for the idea of what looks like more urban environments to mess around in. Out of all the places I wanted to see in Destiny 1 the City really was the one I wanted to see the most really.
I'm not mad about it but I just want the ability to go with the base game in my possession "I kind of want to do a raid" "well you have the choice between X and Y" "I've done X too much, let's do Y". That way I don't get burned out on raiding with that one raid. Also that would allow for more weapon variety too for the initial game.

It's an obvious troll.
Fuck yes, an uncapped frame rate. 1080p/120Hz Destiny 2 here I come!
Saving this for later as a basis for a Steam Controller config.

There are two shaded squares next to the Class icon. So two subclasses confirmed?
Ugh..
this worst take away from this image is that weapon have those stupid perks on them again. I wish those would be gone and the weapons themselves can just be unique enough with varying stats.
I hope to god we at least get literal stat numbers so when something says "Moderately increases aim but sharply decreases range" we can actually tell what that means.
I can see all the supers going off while people try to interact with objects already.
you're not very good at this whole troll thing are you?
And that changes it being a massive success how? If it was just hype alone, it would've died not too long after release, after it failed living up to it's hype, not become even more popular with time.

Leak implied it was another ability. Hunters had something I forgot, Warlocks had the effects of ward of dawn without blocking shots (ie. damage boost or overshield), Titans have some cover they can drop that does block shots.
I'm not denying that. But I'm expecting the usual cycle of disappointment, criticisms and outlandish hype for Destiny 3.
Now where did I say it was dead?
"Let me scan this object real fast"
*Throws a Black Hole instead*
Basically a webcomic setup right there.

Occasionally in Destiny 1, there were times when you could diverge from story missions into secret branches.
For example, you could move from a Hive mission into a Fallen ship and launch a mini mission where you have to deal with a wave of enemies with a timer, and receive a pretty top tier exotic sniper for it.
Or you could go through a secret passage during a mission in the vault of glass and get a whole different ending to the mission, complete with an item that launched a new quest.
I'm hoping they do more like that. Having the community discover this stuff was amazing.

Same number, that's all we know.
I keep hearing "if you've played the game..." as if this isn't a sequel meant to bring new people in. The presentation did a very bad job of making those who haven't played Destiny feel welcome and the game itself does just seem like Destiny 1: But Better. That's not a bad thing, mind you, but can you not see how some might not be enthused if they weren't before?
The number of "we'll enjoy the fun without you
" type posts from Destiny fans in this thread don't help either.Kor of Memory

I expect this to be a Penny Arcade comic sometime in October.
Yeah I remember all of that stuff. But the dungon thing sounded like it was more dynamic and you would find it by doing patrol/adventure mode. THAT is what I wanted from D1 that I never got, and I really hope it lives up to my expectations for this game.

Oh right. I believe it was shadestep, essentially a dodge move.
I'm not sure myself but I read Patrols are going to be twice as big as D1's so that sounds pretty decent.
20 million isn't just hype alone. Expansions dominating digital storefronts for several months after release, even when the SKUs on platforms with significantly higher install bases have been dropped isn't just hype alone. Reprints with expansion codes included charting on NPD and other sales charts when there are cheaper digital upgrade options isn't just hype alone. Don't be disingenuous, Destiny is a behemoth and that isn't stopping any time soon

We know the EDZ (European Dead Zone) is roughly twice as large as the biggest zone in D1. Which I think is vanilla Cosmodrome.

I am kinda eh on the gameplay. It just looked like Destiny but without any of the improvements, I was really hoping for. Weirdly enough, it was the trailer and the supplemental stuff (Like the planets) that saved my hype for this. I dunno, I might pick up a game of the year edition of Destiny for cheap and give it a go, see what the expansions added and how it changed before I make any final judgments on this.
So a couple months ago I posted in the OT that I hoped D2 would launch with 2 rqaids at least and I was shot down pretty quick. I think the idea being that most MMOs (i don't really play them so I don't know) tend to only have 1 "active" raid at a time, something about splitting player base or some such thing. I can search my comments and maybe find it.
Does anyone with more experience have any insight?

Yeah, Raids and Nightfalls will have a in game pairing system called Guided Gamers. Not 100% sure how it's gonna work, but it looked seamless and simple which is good.

Are they allowing anyone to livestream from the gameplay event or do we have to relying on written content?
Nothing exact but one of the presenters during the stream said the EDZ was bigger than anything in D1. No idea if the other areas will be similar.

Although I wished it was bigger, I'll be happy with that as long as the patrol content in D2 is fun and interesting rather than the boring ones we got in D1.
Leak said all hunters get shadestep:
Oh shit. So Titan Bubble is gone?
LOL, neoGAF please

Thanks, that's great to hear! Off to preorder for the beta then!
I have never heard that kind of thing. Maybe with DLC content. Personally I think two is better because like I said, it allows raiding to have a little more longevity if you can a do second raid if all you really ever do is PvE stuff.

No new classes right? Still Hunter, Titan, and Warlock? Didn't get a chance to watch the stream
Jup same.
