Yeah, I want everything that's in Destiny now with the addition of adding an adventurous/exploration side to it and please find a way to keep game modes/activities worthwhile to do during the lifespan (rather than updating Raids, etc for the last 5 months of it's life before the next game client releases) of what is basically Destiny Game Client 2.0 (pretty safe bet this game, like the original, is going to see lots of updates, small and large paid expansions with free "content" updates likely as well).

Was Cayde this annoying in the first game? I mained a Titan character so I didn't interact with him that much.
Trailer did nothing for me.

I enjoyed destiny on PS4 for what it was. Got a lot of hours out of it.
If they can fix the shit that held it back, (story/worldsize/dialogue) and keep/improve on its strengths (loot, shooting, art design) the game will be great.
Definitely a PC buy for me though.

Who are these many of us?
If you play the game you've pretty much known since the taken King that the cabal were coming after the distress beacon went out. Many of Us would indicate people in the community, and people in the community knew it was going to be the cabal for a long long time now.
Destiny was the game that made me institute my never pre-order rule. It's still the most disappointing game of this generation. There's literally nothing they could say that would get me to commit money for this game prior to the beta and reviews.

How do I get the bobble head?
Good and pretty funny trailer. Would have liked gameplay but I can wait until E3 to get it. Really hoping Bungie makes this the game Destiny always should have been instead of the bare minimum they pushed out for Destiny 1. Hoping that whatever development problems destiny 1 had are long gone for this release.

Yes, he didn't use the exact same joke previously. Such a massive change! And "loot" has been in the English vocabulary since well before video games. It's not fourth wall breaking.
As for all the Deadpool comparisons, that's the nature of pop culture. People will default to the most recent thing they remember. Nathan Drake is full of snark and sarcasm as well. Malcom Reynolds too. More than half of Joss Whedon's characters have had that element to them. Hell, Shakespeare has snarky and sarcastic characters.
People resort to lowest common denominator references when they recall things all the time. It doesn't make the comparison accurate.
You shouldn't have to play a new game's predecessor and its multiple DLCs to make a criticism on the trailers of said new game. If it hasn't done its job of selling the game to newcomers (of which, seeing as this is on PC now, there will be many) then it hasn't done its job.
EDIT: Newcomers and those who have played Destiny/Destiny+DLCs and aren't automatically going to buy the second one.
He was definitely humorous/snarky, but not to this degree. He seems a lot more self-serving and annoying in the trailer than in the game, IMO

8th and 18th. I'm confused about the 9th and 19th also lol
It looks like the Digital Deluxe has these extras. I'm probably going to get the $89 version.

The teaser for this teaser was a lot better but nothing will stop my hype. Friday release is awesome - don't even have to take off work.

Anybody have a video for the preorder theme on PSN?
Box art is kinda meh, they've got some cool looking characters in the game and we get 3 boring humans in there.
The trailer was amusing, who is funny the blue exo guy? I only played the base game to completion and quit just as the first DLC pack came out. Was he the hunter guy in the tower with the other guardian class leaders? I assume he was a bigger part of the DLC packs because I can't remember him doing anything besides standing around in the base game and now he's the funny one and there were some leaked figure thing of him too?

The humor was just on the edge of cheese, but was done well enough to be funny. Lookin good.

Just pre-ordered all three editions on PS4. I'm not keeping all them, it's just for choice and see which one I go with eventually. I really want that super rad collector's edition, but damn at £220, it's a big ask.
I have the standard edition and special edition with exp pass pre-ordered too, just in case.

Need to know if I can get that Legendary sword (or something similar) in game or not. Will save myself $10 if it is and just get the $90 digital version.

So any news of Pro/Scorpio support? I have to imagine there will be, right?
Launching on Friday means it'll be available Thursday night for anyone not on the east coast in the US which is awesome.

I'm talking about the commenters on this thread. Besides this trailer will excite the core for the game and that's what they wanted. The casuals will buy it because it's a big holiday game and they'll be told to buy it. Cayde being Cayde isnt for hyping little Johnny down the street wanting a new game for Christmas. Not sure what the issue us here.

I think it would be more weird for games not to have that at this point
Pro support is mandatory.
I legit can't wait for this to come to PC. I told myself I wouldn't play Destiny until it came to PC, then I caved and bought it on Xbox One between TTK and Rise of Iron. So glad I did, this series is going to be something else over the next several years and I can't wait to see you guys in-game.

I like how they actually justified the loss of your stuff from the first game. That said, I'm not even gonna consider picking this up until release. The first game's hype train didn't hit me and especially after seeing how that turned out, this won't either.
All games released on PS4 from now on need to have Pro support. Unless you're asking what that "support" will mean from the OG PS4 version. It will probably be awhile before we know that.
A single character's personality is not a reflection or representation of a game's overall tone. Like I said before, Cayde was like this in TTK and that game kept in line with the tone of mysticism more than any Destiny title.
I'd wait for a story trailer tbh.

The issue isn't whether the gameplay will look great, because gameplay wasnt the issue. The issue is whether they learned their lesson and fixed shit that made so many leave, including myself, during vanilla destiny. They had balancing issues,rng awfulness, and of course the most glaring of all being the total lack of cities and huge repetition to missions.
And I won't hear about this until some time closer to release date so I ain't pre-ordering shit

I just preordered from Gaemstop and didn't realize until I got back that I was supposed to get a Cayde figure :/
So because people here who dislike the trailer don't fit into 1) the "core" fanbase who'd pre-order the game off nothing but a name-drop or 2) the group who don't follow gaming news and just buy what's popular they aren't allowed to have an opinion on the trailer itself?
Both trailers seen so far are comedic in tone and with a very specific type of comedy at that. As someone's said before, this is more fitting of a launch trailer than the reveal trailer; reveal trailers rarely focus on one specific part of the game's tone if that isn't the game's overall tone.
No video but it's basically heat/steam/dust particles around the Guardians' feet and solar heat effect out of the Suros shotgun. Music seems to be the Destiny 2 theme track.
