was it the home coming mission ? the warlock was able to put out some kind of shield (aka ward of dawn) and then broke into the sword afterwards. first part could be a type of grenade though ?

Will be interesting to hear the streamers talk about the changes to the gun layouts.

Yeah, dont think I saw the super bar deplete on the healing aura thing.

That was a boost heal or something. There was an icon bottom left beside melee and grenade to show it on cool down

Not on steam is a surprise,that will upset a good few people and probably hurt its sales on PC.

Makes sense for activision as there will be nobody else taking a cut for each game sold. Be much harder to get grey market keys for too id say.

For Trials, I thought they said it would now be Trials of the Nine. We may finally get to know more about them

I mean it's a Activision Blizzard game. I dunno why people would have even expected it to be on Steam ahead of Battlenet.

Because other Activision games are on steam,this is the first time they have done this.

Plenty of grey market overwatch keys around, though they don't seem to drop as low as steam games.

Ye true actually.

I'm generally happy with most of what was revealed. Looks like more Destiny which is what we all want.

On the downside having only 4 planets is very disappointing, especially when one of those is Earth. Also the switch to 4 on 4 in PvP makes no sense to me at all. I think it will make the maps seem very empty. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong.

I wonder is there any chance of cross save between PS4 and PC. I will be sticking with PS4 (as I hope most will be here) but it would be nice to play solo on PC and then switch the character back to PS4 for co-op and PvP.

That's mental. Never expected to see that. Smart though, as it has a massive player base.

Is it really only 4 planets?

I really liked what I seen today but the question yet to be answered is how much content are we getting with the base game. I hope Activision aren't going to skimp on the base game to flog us an ocean of DLC.

Don't see any issue with there only 4 planets. Play spaces apparently far bigger than what we have had. I don't get why a load of planets would be needed.

Also, this would be the vanilla version. Two dlc packs on the way, Osiris would make sense to have mercury stuff. Would imagine the big content drops could include new planets too.

Love the look of the new Moons IO and Titan, really different to what we've seen already.

Wonder what the story is then with the D1 locations, reef/mars/venus , is it typical for mmo/rpg style games when they move on to leave old locations behind ?

EoinHef

Ooooh,so we might get to see the jovians?

Couldnt watch the reveal in work,off a 5am so gonna get home make a big fat cup of tea and watch it then.

Mr Crispy

Never paid attention to the first installment... is there anywhere that would be particularly useful for getting up to speed on backstory/lore etc?

Edit: Looks like it could be delayed on PC :rolleyes:

Reveal was good. Not pre-ordered yet, as not sure which version to get, but probably PS4 for the exclusives.

Want to see what enhancements we will see for PS4 Pro and the Scorpio. I take it we will hear about that at E3.

That might be part of the Activision PlayStation deal. It might only be 2 weeks are so just to make sure PlayStation get a good crack at selling copies.

Looks good but was expecting as such, not pre ordering this one though gonna wait to see more content before I make a decision

"The reveal gameplay was straight up PS4 gameplay"

Mrs5000Watts on Twitter. I asked how close to the reveal game play the console versions are, cause I assumed it was high end pc.

Another reply from her:

"The PS4 version looks gorgeous. People are upset about frames but honestly... it looks amazing"

Mickeroo

What frame rate was it running at? Must have been 30 if people are getting riled up? I thought it looked much the same as the first game tbh.

All the info at the moment is 30fps on consoles, unlocked on pc.

Not a big deal for me to be honest, I don't feel any real difference in fps, never feel a difference to Overwatch - though I know some do so maybe I'm just weird. I just want it stable.

4v4 only Crucible / IB / Trials = poor decision. Catering to competitive scene only.

NO dedicated servers. Matchmaking reworked to ensure good connections.

They had a chance on the PvP side.

Yeah, confirmed locked to 30fps.

I'm same as you, never notice the difference. Filthy casuals we are.

Mickeroo

What kind of screens are you playing on? I don't think it's as noticeable as people make out and I only really noticed it when I came back for RoI after I had been playing games that run faster for months. If felt like my character was running through mud at first but then after a half hour or so it went back to feeling normal.

I never noticed the 30fps on Destiny when I was playing it. Now I'm playing loads of Overwatch and going back to Destiny is quite jarring. I can definitely see the difference.

No too bothered on dedicated servers to be honest - I just don't care that much.

I think if they had introduced ranked and unranked pvp they could have done ranked at 4vs4 and kept casual at 6vs6. I think 4vs4 is a more intimidating prospect and less forgiving to a casual skillset - there is a reason it is the staple for the competitive scene. Really not happy with that decision.

Also, it plays to the reason I didnt like prison of elders - reducing the fireteam from 6 to 3, in this case 4, reduces the fireteam size our community was built on and had fun in. Assuming raids stay 6 man the disconnect between raid and pvp teams annoys me.
