The ironic part about every compliment we’ve gotten about the World Cup is what the guests are falling in love with is Diversity. It’s the thing that actually makes this place worth staying in and why we can’t allow it to be destroyed.
This is a good example of the artist not understanding the basic concept of reduced three dimensional depth and parallax caused by scale and viewing distance
For example:
Standing on a city street, nearby and distant buildings shift dramatically relative to each other as you move your head, creating strong depth
Looking at the same city from 30,000 feet, everything is so far away that those relative shifts are minimal, so the city appears more like a flat map
This is why the original design of the halo ring with the flat 2D texture looks so much more gargantuan and awe inspiring compared to this new “Artstation-slop” design
The Texas screwworm story is a version of this. The Reflecting Pool fiasco is a version of this. The Iranian war is a very large and ongoing version of this.
Everywhere you look, incompetence is having its natural consequences, with more to come. Much more, I'm afraid.
I got that new cutscene with Zavala last night - had me ugly crying. He never really stood out to me as a character especially against the more emotive or funny members of the cast but when you step back and look at the whole picture…
He’s simply the guy, no way around it
@SaffronOlive Great article from what I’ve been able to read, the website keeps crashing on mobile so I’ll have to finish it later. But I totally agree with the idea of setting > characters TMNT/Dr Who feel worse than Warhammer/LOTR and I couldn’t put my finger on it until you said it
Sign on to Destiny 2 tomorrow. Or any time this week. Will the Sony execs hit the big "D3" button on their desk in a panic? Probably not. But you can show them (and anyone else watching) that there are passionate players out there who want a future for this franchise.
To the Destiny 2 community,
Thank you.
As artists, our goal has always been to create worlds filled with wonder, mystery, beauty, and adventure. But what brings those worlds to life is you. You take our designs, our napkin sketches, our "wouldn't it be cool if..." ideas and transform them into something real. Your creativity, your passion, and your love for the game give our work purpose.
We've always believed Destiny could be a place where expression is celebrated, where players can see themselves and each other in the worlds we build, where every Guardian can forge their own legend—and you proved it.
Watching your Guardians grow, embrace new allies, take down bigger and badder bosses, solve mind-bending puzzles, dodge death traps, avoid Taken boopers, and overcome every Raid challenge we throw at you—all while looking incredible—has been a constant reminder of why this universe matters.
You shaped it. You made it matter. You are the light of Destiny.
With Monument of Triumph, we set out to create a series of love letters to Guardians, new and old. We shared a preview last week of armor inspired by early designs from the original Destiny but have also sprinkled some winks and nods throughout the rewards releasing tomorrow. We hope they feel like a small thank you for everything you’ve given us.
From all of us on the Destiny 2 art team, thank you for supporting us, inspiring us, and continuing to bring this world to life in ways we could never have imagined. You give our art meaning.
With gratitude,
The Destiny 2 Art Team
@LukeCB14 It’s gonna be great man a tight knit niche community playing an incredibly deep and content complete game for as long as the servers are up - can’t imagine anything better
Returning characters in Street Fighter are almost always not gonna play like you remember in the previous title, especially SF6. This is why I absolutely would NOT want Hugo and the same reason why I don't like Sagat in SF6. That is NOT Sagat, that's down MP green eye patch guy
you can tell he didn't expect to get anything. you can tell he's internalised that he doesn't deserve kindness. spongebob doesn't agree. spongebob loves
