Things I Noticed (lots of pics, one gifv)

Really enjoyed the new trailer, and there are some awesome things in it. Some obvious, some only seen for a second. Thought I'd point out what I noticed::

Cabal on Phobos(?):

New location on Phobos(?):

Bridge of chains from concept art:

More traditional (modern) looking gun:

New hand cannon design:

New AWESOME looking exotic (I assume) shotgun:

Wolf's Head Cloak(?) for hunters:

Crazy weapon a Taken Cabal is holding:

Knight with a GIANT axe:

And last, but not least, Oryx himself:

Looks awesome, especially Oryx. I didn't notice some of these things even after watching it a few times. Too much awesome to notice all the things. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

I think that first one isn't the moon though, since you can see Phobos in the background like the screenshot below it.

Good call! And I think that may be Deimos.

Y'know, I googled images of the two moons before typing that last post, and even with this image here... I'm not sure. I've always seen Deimos as fairly smooth and Phobos more rocky with some huge, deep craters, so that's why I said the later.

But I could totally be off my rocker.

Or that base could be on Deimos and we are seeing Phobos in the background, I agree it's hard to tell.

Didn't the Cabal do something insane to make Phobos get even closer to Mars? It's just right there in your face when you look up on Mars. I'm wondering if that's Phobos that the Guardian is on and if we're going there to deal with the Cabal and who knows what else.

You've got me staring at hundred of photos of these moons now like a I'm a damn astronomical cartographer...

I do know gross surface features of major astronomical bodies, like The Moon, Mars, etc.

There is almost no detail on the moon that fits the moon today, despite having things supposedly happening in Oceanus Procellarum, mostly near Mare Cognitum, which is a real location.

On flyovers, I see no set of known craters or maria, and the moon in the game is just built at random. They have the cracked feature near where we see Oceanus Procellarum today, so we can assume the moon is still tidally locked, and the features are in the same place.

[image]

Here's a lovely labeled map. Some of the features are wrong, like Grimaldi (which is actually the spot below and to the left of the label and Oceanus Procellarum), but it's largely accurate. Fun fact: the Sea of Crises is the size of the Michigan basin, and it's easily seen with the naked eye, which means the astronauts could see Michigan. Probably.

[image]

Mare Cognitum (as seen in First Light) is shown to be near the cracked feature, but this doesn't fit. Mare Cognitum is not on the labeled map, but Mare Nubium, the Sea of Clouds, is. Mare Cognitum is up and to the left of that. Needless to say, the crack wouldn't be visible from here.

We don't see Tycho, we don't see Copernicus, and we see undefined maria that don't match up with the maria we see today. One could say that the big crater on the right is Clavius, then the one above it is Tycho, then in the up left, that's Copernicus, with Mare Frigoris at the top, but it just doesn't match up.

The galaxy, too, doesn't look like our galaxy. It's all wrong. The constellations aren't there, either. The astronomical "error" list goes on and on.

While, from Mars, it looks like Phobos is the close one because of the obvious Stickney Crater, and because it's been officially identified as such, I do not trust Bingle to, in any way at all, create a Deimos or Phobos that will match any actual Deimos or Phobos. We'll only know when the screen pops up that tells us Deimos or Phobos.

From Youtube's Interview with Urk and Luke, here's a few more things:

New pulse rifle, kind of lukes like a Suros brand pulse rifle:

[image]

Crucible map in the Tower? (Or a different abandoned tower more likely):

[image]

New objective Crucible mode:

[image]

New Crucible Mode: Mayhem Clash, love the subtitle under it!:

[image]

Return of Man Cannons?

[image]

Taken enemies do NOT act like regular enemies:

[image]

This one is tiny (it was on the back screen while they were talking), but is that Guardians fighting a giant shank? Shank burn may help after all!

Isn't that the area where you fight Sepiks Prime?

I can't help it, there are lots of details in these videos!

Nightstalker Sidestep:

Nightstalker has two grenades! Finally a hunter subclass with 2 grenades!

For those worrying the Gravity Bow won't do damage to targets:

[image]

And a gifv of it in action (doing 9k+ damage):

And also, I assume an icon for sidearms :

Are those Sun Spot indicators or grenade indicators. What the heck is a sun spot anyway?

I hope it is! And I have no idea, haha.

Sunspots are things left over from the new titan subclass's ultimate and his grenades. There is an ability that gives him extra shield if he is standing next to one.

Both this handgun, and the scout rifle from today's Riftball demo, have what appears to be hard light's exotic perk symbol on them:

I was browsing through the Art of Destiny last night and came across the pages with a bunch of logos on them including:

I forget if it was Luke or DeeJ but one of them mentioned expanding the manufactures and making them more important. We've seen the Suros rocket launcher and a new rifle of some kind. Perhaps Omolon and others will have expanded product lines as well!

For example, the Clovis Bray "star" icon, which is all over the Buried City/Dust Palace mission's skyscraper, is used for Abyss Defiant's "Litch Bane" perk :/

They talked about these a lot during the (very informative) gameplay video that unoudid linked yesterday.

Rooster Teeth should post it on their Youtube news channel (The Know) sometime today (if they haven't already), otherwise one of us would have to track down the time code.

Edit: Apparently they took the recorded streams down, so we'll just have to wait until they post the interview.

Maybe it's a sidearm not a Hand Cannon?

I suspect it is. Also, Hard Light logos everywhere!

Omolon would like you to respect their trademark...

I think Perk Icons are just random.

It sounds like they're calling them "weapon foundries."

Which video?

It was rooster teeth. Couldn't find a replay :/

Which video?

I'm just eager to learn more from the Rasputin logo on PI
