Bungie is working to brand the game accessible to Destiny newcomers.
One of the challenges facing Bungie equally it prepares to launch Destiny 2 is that it's built upon an extensive, sometimes convoluted lore that some PC gamers—myself included—know absolutely zilch about. (I nonetheless intend of the ii fundamental characters equally Blue Man in addition to Browncoat, in addition to if at that topographic point are to a greater extent than than ii fundamental characters, well, that merely reinforces my point.) To assist closed that noesis gap, the studio has release a duo of brief videos introducing Cayde-6 in addition to Hawthorne, in addition to it's a adept bet that to a greater extent than are on the way.
Yesterday was Cayde-6, the Gunslinger.
Today, it's Hawthrone, the Sharpshooter.
The master Destiny grew into a game "that became hard to recommend," projection Pb Mark Noseworthy told Rolling Stone. "It got to this indicate where, you lot know, your brother-in-law or somebody would inquire you: 'Hey, should I hold upward playing this Destiny game?' And my kickoff instinct would hold upward like, 'Mmm, I don't know if I've got plenty fourth dimension to comport you lot for that catamenia of time, where I'm gonna convey to explicate everything."
That's a shortcoming Bungie aims to address amongst a to a greater extent than integrated narrative inward the sequel. "With the Cabal in addition to the primary storyline of the Red War, we're trying to say a relatable storey amongst memorable characters, where you lot desire to anticipate what's gonna hap side past times side in addition to force the storey forward," he said.
Part of making that give-and-take is having a "really interesting villain," but that carries risks too. "Are nosotros making him likewise sympathetic? Are you lot almost rooting for him? Because at some point, you lot know, you lot mightiness struggle him. And you've gotta desire to win."
Destiny 2 is laid to come upward to the PC on Oct 24, next a PC open beta from August 29-31 in addition to a September vi unloose on consoles. Speaking of which, nosotros lately spent some fourth dimension amongst the PS4 version of the game to banking concern fit out planetary exploration inward the European Dead Zone—get our mostly-positive thoughts on the sense here.
Thanks PC GAMER
