I never got round to playing the first one, but I liked the division (which I understand is slightly like it in terms of RPG, and I'm usually good at FPS games.

Will definitely be picking it up this time round smile Is there a pistonheads clan or anything like that?

I can't bloody wait for this!!!

Already planning upgrades to screen and GPU and I fully anticipate being able to uninstall every other game as soon as this hits...

What will you be playing on? There will be a bunch of us on PS4 who will play together regularly. In fact, many of them are still wringing the neck out of Destiny 1 (the sad barstewards!) hehe

You're welcome to add me (PSN name same as here). WHen Destiny 2 drops, I will be online...a lot! thumbup.

Was listening to a podcast today that was discussing the possibility of users jumping platforms, ie from PS4 to Xbox, or from Xbox to PC, and what factors they were considering. It was quite an interesting discussion.
Out of interest, what podcast were you listening to?
I'm not sure, sorry. It wasn't something I do with any regularity, it was just something I stumbled on and found interesting.

Same here, in fact I ventured into IB Mayhem last night and once I realised what was going it I had a lot of fun.

Hey, I resemble that comment! tongue out

I keep finding new stuff to do if I'm honest, but then I didn't cane it to death as the new content came out, so am somewhat behind a lot of the regulars (only got my first exotic sword last week for example, when they have been around for at least 12 months!)

Never really touched Crucible / PvP for 3 years but the more I play it now, the more fun I'm finding. Gonna give the latest Iron Banner a run as this is the first time ever Mayhem Clash has been offered as Banner

If you are undecided on Destiny 2, why not pick up the Collector's Edition of D1 relatively cheaply now and give it a go. As Speckle mentions, there will be a lot of folks on PS4 if that's you platform of choice, playing D2 when it comes out. Reminds me, I must pre-order to get in on the upcoming beta shoot

And that'll be the difference. It took me a while to hook up with the guys in the early weeks of D1, whereas for D2, that network will be there from day 1. And playing the game with those guys remains the best aspect of Destiny to this day

Well, I have preordered, first preorder for a very long time, hoping for some cheeky beta access post Thursday presentation, I think it might be a little early but it must be in reasonable shape if they are live streaming.

I watched the gameplay reveal last night and I have to say, it's got me quite excited. Brand new supers, massive new locations and by the sounds of it, lots more to do. Some interesting ideas around matchmaking too. The graphics looked gorgeous.

I'm very much looking forward to the beta now - hopefully they'll give us some dates at E3 in a couple of weeks.

This is probably just me being a dunce and not reading the Ts & Cs correctly, but has anyone else already been charged for their pre-order in full?

Yep. Nice little business model for bungie - £90 half a year before I get anything.

Is it 4 player during the campaign now instead of 3 player like it was in D1, or is it just 4 player in the crucible? I put some hours into D1 with a few friends but never went into the Crucible for some reason.

3 player campaign, 4v4 in all crucible modes and 6 player raids
