Today on The Xbox Dive, Chris and James played the Destiny 2 Beta and want to share their thoughts. Is this a true sequel experience to the first game? Does it live up the hype or expectation? You also can't miss Chris, the Non-Destiny gamer, try to explain what's happening. It will both infuriate and entertain you. #FlyingCruiseShips
PlayStation has scaled back expectations for Bungie after reassessing Destiny 2 development costs, highlighting the risks tied to live-service games.
Honestly Thank Goodness!! Yet another good sign of a possibility of returning to what made them great and undoing Jim Tyans trend chasing love service gamble. Still gotta wait and see just what direction they're going but this is a good sign in my book that they're not betting it all on live service anymore
Not sure what you lot are talking about anymore. They need to cover all range of games. Im primarily a single player gamer, but even I cannot be daft enough to ignore the fact that we need all manner of games including live service games. Everyone here seems to be a market expert.
Yes "all manner" not just exclusively live service like Jim was doing, but you also shouldn't be forcing devs to make games they not only have no experience making, but also flatout dont want to do.
Assuming that anything like that is actually the case and not just a perception of n4g commenters of course.

I don't understand why you people have to keep making up lies. You can say you don't like some or most of their focus being on live service games, but to say they were exclusively focusing on live service games is pure copium. At most half of their games were live service and the rest were single player games. Seriously why lie about something so obvious?
@Redemption-64
You say that as if we don't have word directly from Jim Ryan and PlayStation stating they wanted at least 12 live service games released within a year. Followed by tons of official word of those Live Service games being cancelled after he was pushed out. All studios combined at the time PS had 15 studios, 12 is a hell of a lot more than half of 15, and it was definitely their primary focus evident by the fact that a huge portion of their studios have taken uncharacteristically long to release or announce anything since, hell some studios have yet to release anything this gen almost 6 YEARS LATER! The only one making stuff up is you.
It may take a while but maybe they are finally learning. Good! Now stop with the live service crap.
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a live service here or there, but to have many of your studios start focusing on it when there has been little to no experience among them was wild.
They say this and then immediately release news of the Horizons co-op game that will definitely be a Live Service game.
I feel like they knew that given the fact that the very furst thing they say in the trailer is to reassure they still make so games 😆

They will not. Destiny has been popular for over 10 years, something most games can never hope to achieve. Most people, including myself those Bungie was going to make a D3 after the final shape DLC. Marathon looks to be a hit and a D3 announcement could break records.
Patch notes for Update 9.5.0.5, the one about Equilibrium fixes and more, are now available.
A new survey shows Destiny 2 is considering adding Sparrow Racing League, unvaulted campaigns, NPC sidekicks, new PvP and Gambit modes, and much more.
I never played Destiny 1 beyond the beta, but the morw I see of Destiny 2, the more hyped I get for it!
Of course it is. People expecting the game to change in a drastic manner obviously don't know what a sequel means.
Honestly, it's impossible to say at this point. Bungie are deliberately playing it coy in terms of giving out info. The lack of new classes is a little disappointing but the mission and strike that was available in the beta were both top notch. If Bungie can maintain that level of standard throughout the playing experience while simultaneously delivering on the content on day one this time around, then it will be a worthy sequel.
We don't know yet!! But for anyone interested, go to IGN and look at everything that has been added, from a long campaign that is story driven, to various open world activities etc. The beta was a networking test and didn't offer much to entice anyone to buy it, unless you lived D1's PvP. And then you probably have issues with that!
I think it will be worth the money and more just because of campaign and the many additional to core gameplay.
It’s not out yet.
