Will bite on PC, really happy to see more and more games on the platform. Loved the first Destiny for a little stint as a launch title.
I give a shit about it, but only because I think it's funny. It maps directly to the current mobile game naming formula:
x + " of " + y : where x and y are two random words pulled from a relatively small list that have nothing to do with one another
In this case, the naming actually makes me doubt the credibility of the leak because I have a hard time believing that Bungie marketing would be unaware of its association with exploitative micro-transaction mobile games. Given the fervor over micro-transactions in AAA games, particularly the shitfit that Destiny fans have thrown repeatedly, that seems like an association they'd want to stay as far away from as possible. The rest of the "details" in the leak are all mapped 1:1 with previous rumors/theories but go no further in clarifying them or providing further evidence.
He meant console modes i suppose. (Pro-Scorpio).
They wouldnt release a PC game at 30 fps

This Reddit guy could have easily made up all of this with the small bits of info from that Mega Blocks leak.
I like that idea a lot.
My main wants from Destiny 2:
- A fully expanded "collection" kiosk that tracks every piece of loot you've held at some point from common to exotic. I'm big on the completionist aspect and I know a lot of people who are. I use some third party sites to track all the gear and it adds a lot to the game for me.
- In-game lobby creation/joining tools for Raids.
- Optional matchmaking for literally every single other activity. The fact that Prison of Elders, Challenge of the Elders, Daily Story and Nightfall still -- after over two years -- do not have the option for matchmaking is inexcusable.

Let me bring my Raze-Lighter. Please.

Haven't had a chance to read the entire thread, has Schreier commented yet?
edit: just checked his twitter, seems to think it's fake. I mean it does kind of seem too good to be true, no?

I would just be annoyed that all my ingame achievements are basically deleted.
Shaders, emblems and legacy stats should carry over for example. Guns can all be scrapped and character skills redesigned of course.

Which post is the "Kotaku skeptical" information?
DLC/Expansion - same thing in my eyes. Its paid content. And dont think there done with DLC.
Bungies idea of free content is pretty crap if you havent noticed and current model wouldnt fly with destiny community for the sequel of 1 expansion plus crap events.
Unless Activision have agreed the fee model already im thinking it will cost about 60$ per year to keep upto date with destiny 2 content. They know majority will pay it. They will charge it.

When I think about carrying a character over I think about how they look and other stats, not weapons and gear.
Still, destiny 2 neds to take some big steps so it's important they get the beginning right this time.

The FOV on console is the wost I've experienced in a game. It genuinely felt claustrophobic.
I'd buy this on PC, but I'm done with the series on console, so hopefully this is true about a PC version, I'm confident it is.

It all kind of depends on how "built from scratch" Destiny 2 ends up being. Bringing shaders over and having them interact with new armor could be a huge pain in the ass, for example.
If that's the case -- if they really did build Destiny 2 from scratch -- I understand leaving most everything behind. But I think they should try their best to at least let us bring our characters over.
I realize it might start them off from level 1 again and that's fine but I spent time designing two of my characters, and my girlfriend designed one of them that I love, based on the promise that our characters would come with us in future games.
I think it's about 5 hours from now.
If Bungie of all studios are unable to balance a game to allow for 4 player coop which has been a standard for years then that's pretty pathetic.
Hey that's me!
Activision earnings call gonna be like "Destiny 2 is still on track for 2017" next question please.

As long I can keep my emotes and other cosmetic shit then I won't be that upset
It'll be like Diablo 3, it'll be fine.
I honestly don't see that being an issue. In fact, I think if a group of friends want to "break" the game that way, have at it. Just have fun.
But when it comes to the Raids and other end game activities, yeah, balancing character use should be a high priority.

I'm in, probably PS4 though simply due to the issue of cheating. I would LOVE if it if all the systems tied into the same backend so you could login and play the same character.
Will miss my Destiny guardian but not a huge deal, I guess.
that reminds me I should login to destiny and claim my free reef weekly rewards

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
They'll probably just up the amount of microtransactions.
With more detailed character creator and such I highly expect more individual shit that can be bought via silver that's cosmetic.

The 360 and PS3 versions were modded really badly online on Destiny, its more of a hardware thing than having anything secure in place.

Disregarding the poster being a new account, just saying there have been previous Reddit leaks that were called out as being B.S. but ended up have some truth to them, that's all.
https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyThe...posting_old_leaks_that_have_now_gained_a_lot/
Either CoD is moving to a bi-yearly release or this rumor is false. The story "leak" is just the guy rehashing the action figure description leak from a couple month ago (besides the Cabal were the only enemy race that did not receive a raid in the first game). We already know Bungie is going to increase the frequency of updates/dlc based off their recent job listings and year 3 update overview. Although I think some of these things are true, its easy to piece together this leak. I don't believe Bungie created a brand new engine for the sequel, given they have used the same modified engine for years.

Sure, but if a junior popped up here on GAF claiming that Half Life 3 will be a Switch exclusive you wouldn´expect it to be real because "NeoGAF is sometimes right".

Show me that I can have a good time without synchronizing time zones with two dozen of my closest friends, and I'm in.
No need to be an apologist for this blatant lie. He didn't say "It's all technically real geometry even though the player can't go there" he said "If you ran out there it's playable terrain." Plus what the E3 demo guy said "All of this is playable space. That we hope to one day get to send you to. It's all real geometry, you could go there. We could go there right now."
Yeah... try going there and let me know how that goes. Sure you might be able to glitch and get there somehow, but for everyday normal players there gonna get insta-killed by a death barrier.
That's the most Obi-Wan-Kenobi-technically-I-wasn't-lying explanation I've heard in a really long time. If they weren't trying to mislead players why wouldn't they just be honest?
If the base game of Destiny 2 is the same as Destiny 1, then that does not work, at least for me. That is unless they want to keep trying to pretend this isn't an MMO.

I want to play on PC, but DGAF is PS4 so I will go where the people are. Oh well, should still be good.

Thats what I think they'll go back to like Destiny TdB/HoWs but this time with a sprinkling of loot boxes
Because when you're used to talking to and demoing it to other industry people, they understand you mean it's real geometry in the engine that the player can interact with and has collisions and shit.
The general public tends to extrapolate it it to "FULL CITIES AND CONTENT AREA", even though he specifically said terrain.
As I said before, you've been able "to go out there" since Halo 2.
and Halo 3
Hell, a friend and I have been to the second highest skyscraper in ODST's city. The only reason we couldn't get on top of the highest one is we ran into a invisible ceiling that goes across the entire sky
and Reach, where they modeled an entire highway on the first level that you never have an encounter on,but can fully traverse it if you bust out out of the map (and similar spots exists for other levels)
I'm not sure why this is so hard to believe. There was never an intent to mislead.
Fuck, now I really want a FOV option. And 60 fps. I need to build a PC. I'd settle for just a FOV option on PS4 though. Hopefully the Pro version isn't a lazy one.

Welp, I'll be signing up. Love me some Destiny.
As for character carry overs, don't care all that much...But I would like to hold on to some of the shaders/motes/banners. Guns and armor come and go due to the meta (rip fatebringer), but my all black shader I want to keep.
Oh, and separate pvp v. pve. While I get that its cool in theory, in practice it hurts the fun of both.
Let me be OP Bungie. Let me run Fatebringer, Black Hammer, G-horn. Let me wreck shop. Played your fucking game for 700 hours, I should be able to curb stomp just about everything.
Thanks.

Well from what we know-that old one was a giant pain in the ass to make changes in.
You're probably right, it won't see Destiny. But your original comment was just ignorant considering machines with 512MB of Ram could run it. And these versions received every update until Rise of Iron, and are still online and available to play. That's more than anyone was expecting

This is a MMO. Unless Activision are completely stupid(see Ubisoft with The Division launch), then the game will be just like most of other MMOs on PC, where cheating isn't really a problem. Hell, they just need to ask Blizzard for tips, they've been doing well for more than a decade.

My point is its not possible to make a completely new engine to serve all their needs in 2 years.
