How is he 'notorious'? Most of us only think of lovely sweaty tryhard trials when we hear the name Osiris.

it's sort of explained in the trailer someone linked higher on the last page. He was banished for having "dangerous ideas" or some poo poo.

Maybe his dangerous ideas involve new subclasses. But they are probably just some armor and guns.

Looks dope tho

yeah honestly this right here is the real test. did they fix their lovely dev tools and can they build new content at a rate that’s more than a Dark Below sized expansion?

if not... ehhhh..

Well Ikora is talking like we're supposed to know what horrible thins Osiris did. Everyone has "dangerous ideas" if you get them drunk enough. :v:

"infinite forest" but no raid. Probably something like Diablo greater rifts or maybe horde/firefight mode?

I'm assuming at this point that "Infinite Forest" is just a cool sci fi name for a Mercury patrol space. If it turns out to be a unique mode, great.

The infinite forest lets us tap in to various Vex simulations where they run 5x rounds of combat against us. In some simulations, the Vex have been bested by the Taken, Fallen, Hive or Cabal, so we fight them instead.

Variks narrates. Exclusive gun and armor rewards.

Infinite forest sounds to me like horde mode strike with random modifiers.

The whole game would be better with more random modifiers.

New "raid content" could mean just a new Calus shader... :ohdear:

I still don't understand why they don't have the old raids available in some form. Have them rotate per month, come on Bungo

Bungie once teased a balance patch, a month in advance, with a twitch stream. They love fanfare.

If they're doing anything other than saying NEW RAID NEW RAID gently caress YEAH, then "New Raid Content" means something like new weapon drops added to Leviathan

Cutscene should be my titan walking up to Osiris and being all "really dude? fire swords? come the gently caress on" and then I pop ground pound and gently caress up everything in sight while Osiris tries to stop me "no wait you can't use a good super here!" and then mercury totally breaks apart because it's still hosed up from the Almighty and we all die.

this is straight from Activision, so I imagine people at Bungie are probably steamed about having their thunder stolen

anyway, if they use a paid expansion to add content to the base game’s raid, that’ll actually be a new low for them. Maybe a new all time low for any company

I wouldn't mind them recycling the raid, make it a remix where we team up with Calus and push a Vex invasion off the Leviathan.

indeed Destiny 1 didn’t get any kind of fixes before the second DLC, there is absolutely no precedent here for it

Vault is like the Pyramidion, a common interior space linked by something or another thing. There will be another entrance is all.

Or like the Shores of Time redo map, it's all algorithmic and it's a copy paste in another place. Doesn't matter.

Dude you completely missed my point. Yeah the internet knows the leaked contract, but we don't know whether it's still operative in that form, the amendment strings, the accidental and purposefully ambiguous provisions, milestone and deliverable exhibits that get tacked on later, etc. Just trust me here...it's not that simple.

You are not only gay and buff but correct. And you are right about contracts.... I work in tech M&A, so we end up dissecting a lot of commercial agreements, including in games, and couldn't agree more. There's a little visibility from the destiny contract, but nothing really that would govern the forced releases or rushes, or DLC schedule or other crap that is the issue.

New raid content sounds like either new stuff added into leviathan or an old raid added back in but who knows.
