For me, it was a weird mix of decent CGI and amateur cosplay acting. I was amused, definitely not impressed. It was fun, but I'll stick with the official launch trailer for the hype factor.

That would explain a lot. It was stupid, and not the type of Bungie trailer I'm used to, but it did make me laugh, and my Fireteam in the Beta treated so much of the game in the same way.

Constant cringe worthy one liners delivered totally seriously in rapid succession for 2 minutes.

All that trailer told me about Destiny was "Play with 2 people, expect bad voice actors"

In the end It felt like a reject action movie compressed down with an expensive song licensed in.

by Earendil, Thursday, September 04, 2014, 10:25 (3732 days ago) @ electricpirate

Delivered seriously? I thought the entire mood and atmosphere was lighthearted fun. The Guardians were not afraid of these particular adventures, they were enjoying themselves.

The conversation before jumping into the pit is almost exactly like the ones I have with my brother before entering impending doom in a game.

I've heard worse one liners from Halo matches...

Personally I loved it, but then again, im just in it for entertainment and fun, not to pick it apart frame by frame and criticize it. Feeling positive :)

I'm not sure what about it wasn't tongue and cheek? There wasn't anything serious about it as far as I could tell, it showed guardians on a joy ride with not a care in the world.

It didn't seem to me to have have chosen one direction over another. It was neither properly serious nor humourous but a bit of both. Would have appealed to me more had they fully embraced one or the other.

Meh. The ODST one was better than I remember it but it's not my favorite by any means. I don't much like the Reach making a spartan commercials either.

My favorites:

Deliver Hope - Nice because it is directly linked to the game and there was a lot of neat stuff going on in the background during Kat's run.

Starry Night - Just awesome + bubble shield!

Prepare to Drop - Great setup for the game, some neat bits flash by on the Super's readouts, and the music. Especially the music.

Though really, I'm not sure anything can ever beat:

Just so much anticipation and excitement STILL in that trailer. The Halo 2 we got was really good, but the one where Earth was really under attack and I was going to jump into space and begin saving Humanity by fighting my way through a Covenant ship in orbit? I still want that game, mythical as it is.

The Memories

by Old Fire Thief @, Silverton, OR, Friday, September 05, 2014, 06:08 (3732 days ago) @ Ragashingo

Oh man, that brings back memories. I used to schedule my life around Halo CE. I remember just watching this trailer on loop waiting and loving the build up. I think this is why we are all so excited. This feels like the first time in a long time where Bungie can make a game without the restraints of time or money or Microsoft. We all hope that they can make another Marathon, or another Halo (or even Oni, but with multiplayer). Judging by the other games, "we aint seen nothing yet". After all if they are planning for this story to play out for a decade, weve still 8 years until we get to the *mindblown* climax.

Capes are fine, capes are great. I'm fine with having a hood, it could be great on its own. Having a hood won't protect you from anything but the sun and maybe the rain so it's completely superfluous with a helmet.
I can get behind redundancy, even, my Spartan in Reach had two knives because screw you I'm going to stab people. This isn't over-the-top redundancy like that, it's just mundane, pointless redundancy.
I really, really don't like that a hood and cape have to go together, and I really don't like that the hood and the helmet have to go together so you can't have the hood on in the Tower. I don't like the look plus you can't properly display your helmet that way and you don't get to have the hood-only look either.
It should be viable to just have the hood, we're strong, capable, armored fighters who can be resurrected at the drop of a hat (and may or may not have shields, going by competitive multiplayer). I could really get into the hooded look, but it's not properly available.
I hope against hope that we'll get some option to turn the hood on and off, or that the hood will only appear in the Tower when we don't have a helmet, because otherwise I'll only ever equip capes when I'm going to be in the Tower for while because I don't want to look like a complete idiot, and that would take away from one of my favorite things about being a Hunter (and there are very few things about being a Hunter that aren't my favorites).
Logical arguments aside, I have an opinion, and no one has to like it, but is there really no one here that agrees with me about how it looks? What about having an option for it?

A minor counterpoint to this:

. . . Having a hood won't protect you from anything but the sun and maybe the rain so it's completely superfluous with a helmet.

I think you're missing one very important aspect of what a hood can protect you from -- being seen/recognized. One of the main reasons I will be rolling Hunter primarily is the stealthy theme. Even with a helmet on, a hood can help you seem more mysterious and unrecognizable. I personally don't think a hood over a helmet looks silly, but I also have no issue with the fact that you do -- so I guess having that option would be cool.

Yeah it's not really a matter of money to Led Zeppelin. The only other two times they've licensed their music that I am aware of: the filmmaker was basically the only one who reviewed their music favorably when he worked for Rolling Stone, and in School of Rock because Jack Black literally filmed a video begging them to let them use it.

It was used in a few movies like School of Rock and Shrek 3. There's been a couple of commercials with Zeppelin songs the last 10 years or so. I think Page might have lightened up a little on licensing.

This is probably true. Was it really in Shrek 3? Not a cover, the actual song? If so he REALLY has lightened up.

Funny thing; during the Beta, that emblem was FAR more expensive than any of the other ones (was it 3000 glimmer?), yet the minute Sammy found out about it, she went on a glimmer-farming spree like no other, and nobody else that we ever ran into had it. I hope there are more timed things like that that you have to strive for during a short window (Iron Banner aside).

Me: "Yup, Bungie just confirmed that they're wiping our Beta characters."
Sammy: "THEY BETTER LET ME KEEP MY F***ING BUNNY, I WORKED HARD FOR THAT S***!"

It also shows the enemies, and it shows it's a sci-fi game, and a shooter, and it shows a Ghost, and the Hunters' "blink" ability.

Honestly, I'd be a little surprised if not.

To boot, the grenade double-toss is a staple for me as a Gunzerker in Borderlands, so it may not be *totally* out of the question, just because it's been done before. But I seriously doubt anyone should be taking what we see in a live-action trailer as confirmation of anything.

But tossing two during the Sunsinger Super might make some sense.

THIS IS PERFECTION

by MrPadraig08 ⌂ @, Steel City, Thursday, September 04, 2014, 15:08 (3732 days ago) @ GrimBrother IV

It has the tone of not the game's fiction, but the game's feel.

It is fun. It is exciting. It doesn't take itself that seriously.

It features LED ZEPPELIN, and not just LED ZEPPELIN, but it features a song from LED ZEPPELIN that makes the game cooler. The tone matches the fictional reality that, as a Guardian, this is your Valhalla.

And it made something that I didn't expect. It gave meaning to "Become Legend"

Bungie's tone that has been more somber and graceful made "Be Brave" make sense, but I never felt like "Become Legend" really fit. Legends aren't dutiful or selfless, they are a bit self concerning.

But this trailer delivers on that tone. They display the words Become Legend at the best scene in the trailer when the devil may care warlock dives headlong into the abyss.

We come in Peace.

Yup. I'm all for gravitas, but that pretty clearly wasn't the aim here. This trailer wanted to say "hey, this game is good for random shenanigans with your friends," and I think it pulled that off quite well. Also, the "classical music" bit, while a tad cheesy, clues in people who might not be familiar with Destiny that it's set in our world/race's future (as opposed to being about an alien race, or set in A Galaxy Far, Far Away).

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!

On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords.

On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.

So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing.

Seriously though, I was thinking the same thing when I looked the lyrics up. That lyrics to that song have the same kind of deeper meaning that I expect to come from Bungie normally - even if Bungie didn't actually choose it or create the commercial themselves.
