CG trailer as expected. Very good I'd say.

Now watching it 200 more times.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

That was so cheesy lol, since when did they have humorous characters ala Borderlands?

I didn't like the trailer all that much, but Cayde has been a bit of a goofball and joker since The Taken King.

 

[Xumbrega]

no gameplay makes me sad, but the trailer was great

 

[Darryl M R]

Limited edition is gamestop exclusive.

GameStop probably has exclusive pre-order bonuses like before.

Digital Deluxe for me for sure.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

They've shifted from having a sci-fi fantasy mystical feel to a much more generic, quirky action sci-fi feel. I don't have really as much hype for this.

Exactly.

 

[DNAbro]

Will probably preorder digitally once I have the money. I shouldn't be excited but dammit I am.

 

[molnizzle]

It's Activision, it'll be on Steam

So is Blizzard.

 

[waitwhat42]

Amazing trailer

I remember people being so let down with the narrative of the first game, the story of Destiny is "Have fun, shoot stuff".

I think a more tongue in cheek approach to the storytelling and presentation will serve this game well. Like mentinoning in the trailer that all your gear at the Tower has been destroyed is a really fun way to leverage the fact that nothing from the first game is carrying over.

 

[Dalek]

Cayde was awesome-but I really wish we could have seen some gameplay...

 

[Obliterator]

It asked me to be put on waiting list/email me thing

Yeah that's because Amazon hasn't actually put the pre-order live yet.

GameStop has it up. No Target yet

 

[jim2point0]

Da hell. The Destiny site even has a date for the gameplay reveal and people thought it would be included in this trailer?

I thought the trailer was funny. I enjoyed it. I did not play the first game as it was console-only, but I will definitely play this one.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Is Cayde using a new hand cannon?

 

[GraveRobberX]

The bag in the CE looks like a fifth grader's home economics project gone horribly awry.

$250 to boot!
That Solar Panel rug thingy really makes that price jump

 

[Sawneeks]

holding out for Destiny 3 now.
that will fix all the awful humor from Destiny 2.

Why are you basing the entire writing of Destiny 2 on one trailer? :x

This thread is already getting pretty tiring with the drive-by posts but come on.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Cool trailer! I don't know, I think I'm moving away from these kind of games. I really like a game with a strong story, or single player campaign, and I like co-op but I never seem to actually stick with these continuous service type games to get the specific benefits they provide over other styles of game, and end up lamenting the cons. It's a funny trailer though, and y'know, I could change my mind.

 

[RoKKeR]

They are nailing the tone so far.

 

[_woLf]

The limited edition is exclusive to Gamestop.

COME THE FUCK ON, BUNGIE.

 

[Plum]

The most I've played of Destiny is the start of the demo and that didn't really make me excited to get the sequel now it's on PC. Felt a lot more like a CoD-style "There's a Soldier in All of Us" commercial than the first big trailer for a new game. I'll wait and see with the gameplay.

 

[robotrock]

CG trailer as expected. Very good I'd say.

Now watching it 200 more times.

but why though

 

[Pattycakes]

It looks like the only preorders for PC at the moment are physical edition. I guess they are saving the distribution platform til later? Steam? Blizzard (Battle.net)?

 

[Revolutionary]

"Our shit got blown up" Is seriously the best in-universe explanation they can come up with for having to start from scratch?? I don't know why I was expecting something more than that considering it's Destiny but.. jeez.

 

[aHebrewMenagerie]

Trailer did nothing for me. Right now their marketing plan seems to be "Be hyped for Destiny 2 because its Destiny 2!"

And while I did have fun with the first game, I really need to be sold on this next one.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

Is there any reason to think this will NOT release on Steam?

 

[lionpants]

Cayde's generic blockbuster movie dude bro hero comedy style....... My spine cringed into my asshole.

 

[Two Words]

Larger image of the CE

That messenger bag is too cringey to actually use.

 

[RebornYeti]

Not feeling the trailer, but I pre-ordered on both PC and Xbox One.

Can't wait for the gameplay reveal.

 

[Alienous]

Preferred the teaser. This didn't seem to add anything of worth to that announcement.

 

[PulseONE]

Did they seriously have a CG teaser for a CG trailer :/
No gameplay at all?

 

[Collateral22]

Is Cayde using a new hand cannon?

Looks like the Ace of Spades to me.

 

[Corpekata]

So is Blizzard.

They literally just renamed Battle.net to Blizzard App. If Activision were making a push, they wouldn't have gone for specific Blizzard branding but something more general (or kept battle.net).

 

[Stabattack]

Fool me once...

 

[meanspartan]

Haha so a story reason why we are losing all our shit, that's cool

 

[RecRoulette]

GameStop has been murdering people by holding exclusives for the middle versions of games. I remember the Resident Evil 7 one was exclusive, just ended up buying it digital, will probably do the same here.

 

[Gator86]

The bag in the CE looks like a fifth grader's home economics project gone horribly awry.

So, you're saying it's a collector's edition? CEs are always just low quality, high priced junk shoveled onto whales/easy marks.

 

[Tokubetsu]

You can't deny that's the tone. Look at the poster, even.

The signal is clear: less weird fantasy sci fi stuff, more basic space marines for the average cod player to self identify. Don't expect any nebulous enemies like "the Darkness" or concepts like the Garden - this time the enemy is clearly labeled, has a face and a name.

Yup, there is a definite tone shift. Not a fan.

 

[Defuser]

Did they always plan to make Cayde like this or did they take that one obscure line where he whispers and pleads "take me with you..." in the vanilla and ran with it?

Where were you during Taken King?

 

[SpecX]

Motherfucking Amazon sold out already?

Yeah that's because Amazon hasn't actually put the pre-order live yet.

GameStop has it up. No Target yet

Ok missed this. Wait list it is, but I always get the notice too late

 

[Ninjuit]

Man, Destiny might be the most tonally confused franchise I've ever seen. We've gone from Noble Space Knights, to Game of Thrones Lite, to bro-five shoot and loot time. Going from the original ViDoc of Destiny 1 to this is jarring.

 

[Disxo]

Fool me once...

I would love to be fooled twice

 

[Zomba13]

"Our shit got blown up" Is seriously the best in-universe explanation they can come up with for having to start from scratch??

I think it's better than "big bad did something to us so we start at level 1". Like, if they could do that why haven't they done that before? Why wait so long? Why not do it before we farmed all those strikes against the Cabal?

 

[VincentMatts]

Fool me once...

lol big time, no way in hell im buying that at launch

 

[TyrantII]

God damn it Gary, you destroyed my loot. There will be consequences.

 

[gadwn]

CG trailerzzzzz.

Hype on the date though!

 

[Vic_Viper]

I thought the trailer was pretty funny lol. Kinda tired of these cgi trailers with no gameplay but at least one is coming soon.

Liked how they snuck in that line about loosing all your stuff.

Have they said anything about being able to play the same character/account on any platform? I'm getting the PS4 version for sure but it would be nice if I could pick up the PC version down the road and not have to start completely over.

Would be really nice if they could share servers with PC and PS4.

 

[Mifec]

Terrible trailer. Will try on PC.

 

[Tovarisc]

The trailer's explanation for the loss of players' gear is pretty laughable.

Cabal force turning Guardian command center and armory into ash is laughable?

k

 

[Nokterian]

So is Blizzard.

No there separate entities, Activision Blizzard is the publisher.

 

[wwm0nkey]

I hate it so much when they announce all the shit that comes with the game and tries to convince you to pre-order without showing you a second of gameplay at the announcement.

Then wait until you see gameplay

 

[GraveRobberX]

Yeah that's because Amazon hasn't actually put the pre-order live yet.

GameStop has it up. No Target yet

Oh my fault then
Still weird the page felt like it went from pre-order to waiting list on my end, must be refreshing and got some page mishap

Walmart has it up and the price, too rich for my blood

 

[aHebrewMenagerie]

That messenger bag is too cringey to actually use.

Yeah, that's some weeb shit there
