Support NeoGAF

[Kinyou]

A map gets applause, lol

 

[Siege.exe]

Because 1 strike playable at the event = 1 strike at launch. Game is just an expansion based solely on footage from the first mission. I honestly think some of ya'll here are solely here to shit on Destiny with as little to go off of as possible.

 

[Trey]

Io and Titan are moons, not worlds.

 

[Machina]

I don't know what people are expecting... it's more Destiny. They aren't going to turn it into a totally different game. If you don't like what Destiny is doing, it's just not for you.

First person Farmville.

Yeah, not for me

 

[Undead Hero]

The way they're talking about this is just infuriating. It seems like they're content to just iterate on Destiny, but Destiny was not good. There was a ton of downtime. "Grinding" was a huge part of the game. The moment-to-moment gameplay wasn't that good. There just wasn't enough content.

"A new raid"
"Updates to crucible"
"A 3-stage boss"

Incremental improvements aren't going to be enough for me :-

Then it isn't for you. Fans want more Destiny. They aren't going to make it into a completely different game.

 

[Jest Chillin]

There is a thing called space ships in this game right? Not exactly hard to think how different species of aliens would turn up...

You haven't paid attention to the lore at all have you? All the enemy alien races have been conquering the Universe and The Traveler came to us as the last resort. Until we, as Guardians, have a reason to leave our Universe, there's no logical reason a new allied race would show up as they don't have the Support of the Traveler.

We won't leave our Solar System at the start of this because we're literally brought to the brink of destruction.

Shit needs to make sense for it to happen.

 

[shwimpy]

only 4?

 

[CryptiK]

Fuck yes this is start to look more like a true MMO.

Nope not even close. There is no Massively Multiplayer at all.

 

[commish]

Only 4 worlds... only 1 raid... no new classes...

I am disappoint.

Still looks amazing but I guess I just wanted more.

 

[Floex]

People who wanted more story elements.

It's a complete waste of resources in a game like this.

 

[FyreWulff]

The presentation is not great but there are some pretty nice things being described.

It really sounds like a broader realization of the core ideas in D1, really fleshed out.

yeah, i expect some jank. it's Bungie's first solo keynote.

 

[cb1115]

a functioning map in a video game in 2017? can't believe it

 

[LiK]

OH THANK GAWD. QOL improvements so we don't need to rely on 3rd-party apps.

 

[bigJP]

One strike for them to play today.

No more going to orbit. All activities launched from the game world.

news ive been wanting to hear

 

[RecRoulette]

I appreciate their acknowledgement of the stuff that didn't land in the first game

 

[17 Seconds]

getting good now

 

[nowai]

4v4 is a letdown.

You obviously don't play competitive Destiny.

4v4 is standard and is easily the most balanced number. It makes classes like Gunslinger viable because it means there will be roaming supers to shut down etc.

If you don't know comp rules only allow one subclass per team.

 

[Z3M0G]

No, it's right. He would've 100% worded it differently. Why would he want people to think there's just 1 new strike unless that was absolutely the case?

Maybe it's just for today's event...

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

Only 4 worlds... only 1 raid... no new classes...

I am disappoint.

Still looks amazing but I guess I just wanted more.

I mean, it's pretty obvious that's not the full game. lol

 

[BlanketFort]

Earth and 3 moons.


Ugh, why

My exact thought.

Also, so underwhelming to have the number "4" trumpeted like it is a lot of zones / maps.

 

[oti]

Earth and 3 moons.


Ugh, why

you're supposed to play these missions over and over and over again

 

[Hoo-doo]

Four new worlds? So four environments. Three, really, seeing as the moon is still there (why).

I don't know, but that sounds incredibly thin. I felt Destiny 1 had a huge content issue and the worlds were way too small.

 

[Askherserenity]

Earth and 3 other worlds? loll oh god.

 

[Metroid]

Why is everyone applausing after every sentence the host says?

 

[R0ckman]

I swear I saw a fallen in hunter gear.

 

[george_us]

Bungie's speaking my language. Pretty much every complaint I had about Destiny 1 seems like it's being addressed.

 

[HawksWinStanley]

Didn't realize crucible would only be 4v4. Will raids only be 4 too?

 

[Coxy100]

So stoked for this - I was going to be strong and not buy it (not wanting more grind )

But sod it - looks great.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

I feel like your personal ship is going to be more useless than ever before.

Dont even have to see it anymore.

 

[Detective]

No wonder Halo was a success under their belt. Look at the fucking level design and the art style. OMG

 

[BahamutPT]

One strike for them to play today.

No more going to orbit. All activities launched from the game world.

My understanding was that they had *a* new strike AND they can play it today. But I may have misinterpreted that.
It's still a strange way to present features, saying they have a new strike instead of "new strikes and you can play one of them today".

 

[SRTtoZ]

An outside earth camp! YAY

 

[B-Dex]

A trailer extolling the virtues of a map and less load screens. How out of touch is this company?

 

[cordy]

Given how successful Destiny ended up being...why did people expect them to completely change the format?

They've improved on what they had before...fleshed things out...gave us their biggest campaign ever apparently...fixed the issues wrong with it...come on now bruh.

 

[serenewarfare]

The Earth section here does look different than the Earth stuff from 1, so there's that I guess.

 

[Papacheeks]

Tell us what the missions are going to be like. Am I still going to play the same missions 30 times?

This is what I want to know. That's what killed me in Destiny 1

 

[Ethical Hedonism]

Sounds like they are still going to have a massive content issue

1 raid means I'm not expecting much

I was hoping for more content but it doesn't surprise me since the business model holds up.
Enough players keep buying the same minimal amount of content over and over, and the company only needs the business justification (profit) to keep doing that.

 

[N7.Angel]

So, this more like a reboot of Destiny instead of a sequel ?

 

[Alucrid]

european dead zone? so we're going to the britain post brexit?

 

[commish]

I mean, it's pretty obvious that's not the full game. lol

Why would they purposefully undersell it then? "We have 4 new worlds" probably means there 4 new worlds.

 

[oti]

The EDZ looked cool. Northern Europe-ish.

 

[flkraven]

So its the same style, zone in and zone out, only now you pick specific areas you want to land? So flying is still just a loading screen?

 

[Shito]

I don't know why you guys expected more than one raid at release... if they are akin to the previous raids, they will want to make each one of them memorable and "meaty"... I agree they absolutely need to be able to create them quicker than in D1, though, the ideal would be getting a new raid once every 3/4 months...

 

[Buzzbrad]

Did they announce Destiny 2 only on Battle.net yet?

 

[Caboose]

Graphically it looks pretty identical to 1.

 

[Finaika]

Isn't that Thanos' home?

 

[Gudji]

Nope not even close.

It's open world, there are quest hubs, it's not a lobby game anymore. So yes, its closer to a true MMO.

 

[Killer Queen]

Game looks amazing, especially single player stuff.

 

[WetPotatoBread]

These PS4 graphics look bad, show us some pro/PC.

 

[Horp]

Very nice environments
