If Destiny 2 PvP becomes a competitive e-sport.... is it played with controllers? PS4? Would Bungie force PC players to use controllers with aim-assist still active? It is one of the main ingridients for their secret-sauce...

Sony/Activision/Bungie/MLG should put something together like Halo Worlds, with a big prize pool. Maybe e3?

Pretty much zero chance.
Activision has CoD on console and trys to establish Overwatch on Pc.
I don't see any sapce for competitive destiny. Not on the market itself and not from activision with ressoruces allocated to support it.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

I am SO fucking excited.

 

[Moon Presence]

Game of the year. I want to see how they will implement the pets.

I don't think destiny will ever be an esport due to the loot mechanics among other things.

Where's the lie? If they wanted they could let you go there. What's the point if there's nothing there to do? Please, that shit was said one year and a half before release of the original game, just move on.

 

[jon bones]

So looking forward to this on PC, but hoping I won't catch too much shit from people because I use a controller I don't PVP, but I still feel like people are gonna be dicks.

im gonna play feet up controller in hand

 

[crespo]

The hype is real. This is gonna be YUGE.

 

[Art Vandilay]

I'm hyped as well. Really hoping they change the way patrols work. More exploration and less linear paths/worlds would be great.

 

[Velocity:Design:Comfort]

Does anyone have a compiled rumor/leak list? Googling gets me a lot of junk but I know there are some rumors that have some weight to them.

Keep fighting the good fight

 

[H3xum]

Sorta on topic, but, I just went to bestbuy to preorder the game because hype, and, if you are GCU you can get it for 47.99 and get a 10 dollar credit for future purchases

 

[Acidote]

Don't worry, you won't take any shit as long as you stick to PvE. And that's the major focus of the game, coop PvE.

That said, if you try to PvP people would probably go nuclear.

 

[RoboPlato]

I rarely get super hyped these days but I'm full steam ahead on this one. Despite all ithe first is my most played game ever.

Bungie seems far more confident and excited in this reveal than anything before for Destiny, which gives me a lot of hope.

 

[jeffc919]

Well, i have been playing Battlefield 1 for a few months now and I just love how shooting at someone means they will go down.

With Destiny, the net code fucking sucked. Gun balance was total shit. ARs and even Pulse rifles were shit for months. It had way too many one hit kill weapons... shotguns, grenades, melees, snipers and supers. They need to completely revamp that and go with a 60 fps target. i dont care if they cant consistently hit it.

Graphics better get a massive upgrade too. Destiny looked great but very last gen.

I guess i am surprised i am no longer excited about Destiny 2. They need to do a lot to impress me.

I'm kind of on the fence too, having also played a lot of 60FPS games after pouring hundreds of hours into Destiny. Halo 5, Battlefield 1, Titanfall, Titanfall 2. Going back and playing 30FPS (with shit netcode but that's another matter) after being used to playing 60FPS is jarring.

Then again, there is nothing else coming out any time soon that interests me so I'll probably pick it up and play it a lot just be default.

You want a massive graphics upgrade and double the FPS? You realize how silly that sounds right.

 

[jeffc919]

Probably could at least get a modest graphics upgrade on PS4 Pro at 60 FPS unlocked target frame rate. More time to optimize their engine, no last gen support, more time to optimize for current gen platforms, etc.

 

[hiryu]

Fully Hyped for this. Destiny is probably my second most played game ever. I'll probably play part 2 even more because I'll most likely get the PS4 and PC version.

 

[Trace]

They're increasing the open-ness of their environments, adding more assets etc. They're also not going to increase the FPS on Scorpio/PS4 Pro which means that the base game would need to be 60 fps, which isn't going to happen.

 

[Diprosalic]

it will be the biggest game of the year, of course everyone is hyped

there will be a WW2 CoD, so no.

 

[SlimySnake]

If BLOPS3 and BF1 can do that, why cant Destiny? How is that silly?

 

[Mozendo]

I'm excited too!
Will doube dip on the PC version if it's good enough. Right now I'm acting as the hype man so I can play with some friends. Playing Destiny solo sucks

 

[Trace]

Because neither of those is anything like Destiny? That's like asking why isn't The Witcher 3 60 FPS on console.

 

[noomi]

I want Destiny on PC, but my heart is with the PS4

Really? I played BF1 too and that didn't always work for me. I thought the net code for that game was one of the worst and I was there at launch but haven't touched the game since the intital month it was released. Game just bored the hell out of my friends and I. Fastest we have dropped a BF game ever.


I have over 1000 hours in Destiny and am ready to put another 1000 in Destiny 2. So, so hyped for this game.

Destiny 2 isn't going to be an e sport but regardless you know there are other games that are multiplatform and have a competitive scene right?

Do you see them force PC players to use a controller? No they just have separate competition for PC, Xbox and PS4.

 

[josecitoxnyo]

I'm shocked nothing has leaked about the game or event.

Throw us a bone Jason, pls.

I'm not expecting or predicting it to happen. Just saying they probably could go in that direction if they wanted to. I'd be happy with 60FPS PvP and 30FPS PvE but I don't expect that either unfortunately. As a Pro owner I would also be happy with a graphical downgrade on the base PS4/X1 in order to get 60FPS.

 

[MrS]

Please be good. I only want a better net code and more raids. Is that too much to ask, Bungle?

 

[Herp Derpington]

I debated it.

Was it a...vexing...decision?

Spoiler

I'm sorry

 

[bearythebear]

I'm cautious. Hoping they tackle fundamental issues such as lack of proper guild system in the first game

 

[nOoblet16]

If BLOPS3 and BF1 can do that, why cant Destiny? How is that silly?

Why is Uncharted 4 30FPS if MGSV can be 60FPS?

Different games, different design, different rendering load.

I always thought it as interesting that Destiny is a game where haters can't get over the salt. 3 years after release and there's still people that have to show up to every Destiny thread just to bring up the same old complaints.

A friend of mine refuses to get off the hate bandwagon, but he would love it if he gave it a chance. Oh well.

 

[Kill3r7]

Just give us another raid of the same quality as VoG and we are all good. I know Vanilla Destiny lacked many of the QoL things that TTK included but it had the best legendary weapons and raid. IMO, the early game stuff is merely busy work to enjoy the endgame content.

 

[KodaRuss]

I just hope the game is different enough, I feel like we are going to be playing Destiny 1.5 (which was TTK) for some reason.

Anyway, cant wait.

 

[irrotational]

Honestly can't wait for the gameplay reveal myself.

However, I've been thinking, we all know Sony has secured the marketing rights to Destiny 2 (and bonus content). Hypothetically speaking, say Activision also secured a deal with Microsoft offering Play anywhere, alongside Sony having the marketing rights. Does anyone think that such a hypothetical deal :

1 - Could exist. Assuming Microsoft paid top dollar for such a feature. Could there be a clause allowing for Sony to advertise the hell out of the game alongside the Playstation platforms, while Microsoft has their own slice of the pie and offering play anywhere?

2 - Would such a feature heavily skew sales away from Playstation and more towards PC/Xbox?

This is what I'm intrigued about too. Both Sony and MS have done cross play with PC gamers..I think both on Steam and the Windows store. The latest Gears for example allows co-op cross platform but not PvP.

Given the focus of the game is on a lot of co-op activities, I think cross play with PC could be a big positive for whichever console gets it, if any.

 

[CraigerGamer]

Lord, I hope not. I really think we will see some innovation this go around. The scope was already huge and I think the technology and the delay will allow them to live up to the story/universe.

But I thought vanilla destiny was fantastic. So maybe I'm just easy to please

 

[Loxley]

I can't remember the last time I wanted to like a game more than Destiny - but it just didn't live up to the hype for me. I'm definitely interested to see Destiny 2 though, I feel like this will be the game Bungie wanted to make the first time around.

 

[duhmetree]

Do you see them force PC players to use a controller? No they just have separate competition for PC, Xbox and PS4.

When MLG had major CoD tournaments, wasn't it played on Xbox? If MLG has major Destiny tournaments, wouldn't it be played on PS4?

MLG has already shown interest in Destiny 1, a game no where near ready for the 'e-sport' scene... Hopefully in two days we'll get to see what types of changes have been made in PvP, ( hoping 60fps, a spectator mode and some form of load-out parity )

 

[urge26]

I've been gaming for 25 years, and I can't think of an announcement I've been more excited for. If it wasn't for my daughter's school performance late in the day, I would've taken the day and parked my ass in my chair with a 12 pack.

It's scary too though because you have so many ideas about what this will be in your head and it's weird that in 2 days I'll know the direction.

 

[Compsiox]

If everyone doesn't get hyped everyone will be impressed.

I just hope the game is different enough, I feel like we are going to be playing Destiny 1.5 (which was TTK) for some reason.

Anyway, cant wait.

Same. I'm hoping that when I play for the first time I'll be like: Wow, this is a new game. With 1000 people having worked on it, I think it will.

 

[FinKL]

Hype thread?! I'm excited and being on vacation makes the wait tolerable. Can't wait to lay in bed Thursday night for gameplay!

 

[Midas]

Throw us a bone Jason, pls.

I read a comment by Jason on reddit. He wrote something like. "I don't want to know more. I want to be surprised on Thursday."

 

[ChubbleDucks]

Just show me a Warlock throwing solar grenades at cabal and I will be happy.

 

[Abilidebob]

Only played at a friend's PS4 but liked what I saw, so I am excited enough for the PC version. Until the release I think WoW shall suffice for my MMO needs.

Also Activision Launcher exclusive, believe it!

 

[shotgunbob04]

Not excited for Destiny 2 after getting locked out of features I had already paid for in the first game when I didn't buy a DLC "expansion."

Just blows my mind that people are excited to once again pay for a fraction of the game at launch only to enjoy it for ~3 months before they will need to pay up in order to keep playing all the modes originally available at launch.

Especially not hyped when you add in the lack of dedicated servers in a game that wants you to always be playing with other players and can only be played when you have an internet connection.
