I really hope all this stuff is true, I can't wait for a new raid. Had so much fun in VoG and the new one is supposed to be even better.

Christopher3897d ago

I hope not. Hunter subclass looks pointless in PvP and PvE. Damage is king, not CC. We already have one subclass that has a super that's pretty useless in raids due to having to be in melee range for a good amount of time (I use it only for invisibility since if I get in melee range... I typically dead) and another where you expect the golden gun to do some real damage when it outputs less than my sniper rifle (though, it at least can one-hit kill in PvP if you hit your target).

I just hope they do some rebalancing on the core stats of the classes. As it is, they really don't matter that much from having one maxed or one zero'd out.

BlackWolf123897d ago (Edited 3897d ago )

You're wrong. Damage is not king.

Both Warlock and Titan have Supers which provide buffs for all fireteam members, as well as other benefits which are not direct damage. A CC Super would be awesome and complete the trinity perfectly.

I can see that Super working brilliantly in both PVP and PVE.

Conzul3896d ago (Edited 3896d ago )

I agree. The new Hunter looks really unappealing.
More than half of his abilities can be effectively pulled off with the existing Warlock Void Grenade. You can use it to block passages and slow enemy progress already.

The new Warlock and Titan look great though. Can't wait for new Raid. This time I wanna do it first with people who haven't done it at all. Want the wonder, even if it means dying a lot.

VoG I always knew in advance what would happen, and all the guides have neutered its difficulty.

dumahim3897d ago

I don't doubt a new subclass at all. If you look at your character screen, it looks like there's already a box for the 3rd subclass.

GameSpawn3897d ago

It also balances each character class with each element type (Void, Arc, Solar). Right now each class only has access to 2 of the 3.

TekKing3897d ago

"Super: “Void Well” Drops a Void well on the floor. Enemies inside the Void well cannot jump, and have reduced movement speed. Upgrades can reduce all enemy movement, prevent enemies from using abilities, or increase radius of Void Well."

Supers are designed to kill. They wouldn't give a Super that only disables enemies because it would be pretty much useless in both PvP & PvE. Whoever made up this rumor didn't put much thought into it.

Kenshin_BATT0USAI3897d ago

...? Titan has a super that mitigates damage only. I don't see your point.

nX3897d ago

Even if all the current Supers were designed to kill, that doesn't mean there can't be any other types Supers. What's a RPG without variety?

ScottyHoss3897d ago

If turn speed were a factor in movement speed it would mean kills, if you manoeuvre around them fast enough. Easy grenade kills too, and in PvE you could counter the fast moving enemies with high melee damage.

GameSpawn3897d ago

@Kenshin

Exactly. This is why there are subclasses. Each subclass is either geared towards doing damage, taking damage, or team support abilities.

If you don't like the "support" ability than don't use the "support" subclass.

CorndogBurglar3897d ago (Edited 3897d ago )

Supers are designed to kill?

Titan Defender says hi.

Naga3896d ago

I love my Defender. I feel a bit like a funnel web spider when I sit in the bubble.

Christopher3897d ago (Edited 3897d ago )

At least the titan super doesn't rely on NPCs running through it, though... And, it's super useful against bosses when you put the run through and get the full shield buff back as well as holding points in PvP.

The suggested Void Well is pointless in both PvE and PvP. It relies on NPCs running through it (which they won't nor do they have to since many of them later in the game jump or teleport, and will do so to avoid going through the void well). And, in PvP, it only slows down whoever you trapped initially, which doesn't stop them from shooting you, which is what most people do instead of running away.

BlackWolf123897d ago

Supers are designed to kill? Oh did you work for Bungie?

If not, you have no idea what they were designed for. Titan Defender and Warlock Sunsinger disprove your point. Hunter is the only one that doest have a Super which helps players rather than kills things.

Christopher3897d ago (Edited 3897d ago )

Sunsinger either allows you to deal damage for longer by making you harder to kill (or immediately reviving you) or actually improves your whole party's DPS.

Defender either allows you (and your party members nearby) to deal damage for longer by making you harder to kill or or actually improves your whole party's DPS.

They are designed to improve one's ability to survive and thereby do more damage over time or in general to just do more damage.

That Void ability only serves to attempt to debilitate your opponent, and both will easily avoid it but otherwise be able to do complete damage to you as usual. Just how people easily avoid a grenade in PvP, so too will they avoid this super. But, at least if they get hit by it, they can still do their full damage.

Those subclasses sound awesome. Cant wait to try the Warlock subclass if true.

bondsmx3897d ago

Sounds like fun. Can't wait. Hope there is some true to this.

He paid billions for Starfield. This should be the real story.

Microsoft bought all of Zenimax Media for 7 billion, while Sony paid 4 billion for Bungie. I think Microsoft got the better deal due to acquiring Fallout, ElderScrolls and Doom.

285d ago
anast285d ago

This can't be true. They only bought Starfield...

InUrFoxHole285d ago

@anast
Should've thought that one out buddy, lol.

Yeah, I thought it out. I'm not sure you did. But since we are buddy's now, you're welcome.

So you're saying that Microsoft has missed out on so many huge gaming franchise in the last 25 years from GTA exclusivity to guitar hero and destiny it's just laughable they had so many misses

Reaper22_285d ago

Yea, but they're still 100 times more wealthy than Sony. I would say it worked out well.

Gamingsince1981285d ago

Xbox is dead all that money doesn't help.

Hypertension140285d ago

What has work out well? It sure as hell had nothing to do with Xbox.

andy85285d ago

That isn't because of Xbox though. This is a gaming page, not an I get supplemented by father Windows page

Bathyj285d ago

Microsoft's money has nothing to do with Xbox.
Xbox is a money pit to them they would love to ditch but are after some ROI first.

Let's face it, Xbox is like a red headed stepchild that steals from you to buy drugs.

Hofstaderman285d ago (Edited 285d ago )

MIicrosoft is NOT XBOX. The current situation illustrates this. And Microsoft wants its ROI.

@Bathyj and daddy Satya has just force admitted Phil to rehab.

gold_drake285d ago

you know why MS has so much money, and it aint cause of the gaming xbox branch.

so lets not kid ourselves.

PhillyDonJawn285d ago

Xbox was shown to be more profitable than ps

jznrpg285d ago

@PhillyDownJawn not more profitable. More revenue with ABK acquisition but them going multiplat shows they are not making much profit

ocelot07285d ago

That's great for Xbox gamers ain't it that Microsoft are more wealthy than Sony. Is that really a argument use are using now lol?

Imagine me in my job. Arguing with a fellow security guard at another company. Hahah well the company I work for is worth £800m the one you work for is only work £600m!

Microsoft may have more money but Sony has the talented studios and the games to back up those studios.

Plus turning down Marvel too. Spiderman is only exclusive to Playstation because of that

Hedstrom285d ago

Best deal deal in gaming must be when Sony bought Insomniac for 229 million dollars. They made over 800 millions on Spiderman for the ps4 alone. Thats just crazy!

XBManiac285d ago

More in the 1.000 million now.

gold_drake285d ago

another Interview?

how is he the only one who loves the spotlight as much as he does lol

Futureshark285d ago

Let's not forget he also famously passed on Spider-man, Genshin Impact and GTA3.

However it's almost kind of cute how he can keep that sh1t-eating grin and say he's a 'no regrets' kind of guy, especially when you think how much just these 5 titles could have swung the world in Xbox's favour instead of Sonys.

How he's kept his job I don't know, he must sure be keeping Papa Nadella's shaft warm somehow.

"But, but Gamepass, he introduced that!!!"

Yes he did, and now look at Xbox, all it's exclusives are coming to Playstation now rendering the platform obsolete.

DarXyde285d ago

Honestly, with that kind of track record, you can't convince me Spencer hasn't eaten it from the back in the name of self preservation. Probably unwashed...and at least twice.

That aside, my interpretation of everything here is Xbox has been mismanaged a bit too much and Nadella came down from his throne. The way it is now, I don't believe for a minute the multiplatform move was Spencer's idea. I don't even think the acquisitions was Spencer's work. At this point, I reckon he's got as much power in his role as Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian energy company.

DivineHand125285d ago

You can never tell how things will turn out if he had said yes to those games. Xbox already has access to some great IPs, however, they hardly do anything with them or fail to deliver. It's also possible their presentation wasn't good at the time, and they made sure the next presentation was better.

I believe that part of being successful is releasing things in the right place at the right time.

Many major corporations have a story similar to passing on successful business ideas. Let us look at Sony Pictures for example. Back when Marvel went bankrupt, they had the opportunity to buy the entire Marvel for only $25 Million but turned them down. An unnamed big shot at Sony reportedly claimed that “nobody gives a shit about any of the other Marvel characters,”. They ended up taking Spiderman for $10 Million instead.

https://www.avclub.com/sony...

Fast forward to today, we can see what the Marvel brand has done for Disney. Is it possible the same success would have been possible had Sony acquired those IPs. We can't say that for sure and it is possible most of those IPs that are successful today may not have been used.
