But what about the Sword Pauldrons?

Commander Zoom

I think Warframe may beat them to it. Or have already.

EDIT: Corrected by a friend, who points out that WF would call them "Ballistica Syandana".

I remember watching the live stream for the Destiny 2 reveal and thinking, where did they find this trained monkey of an audience. Seriously, for every banal and frankly baseline feature they would announce the crowd would cheer on queue. Destiny 2 will support wireless controllers. Crowd Cheers. Destiny 2 will leverage all four face buttons and both analog sticks. Crowd cheers. Destiny 2 will allow you to upgrade you character's gear with ever improving loot. Crowd looses its goddamned mind.

I remember a conference somewhat recently where people heard cheering but looked around and saw that no one was cheering, as if it was a recording coming from the audience on queue. I think it might have been the first Xbox One reveal, where people were 'cheering' always online download only games, but I don't remember.

In any case, I would not be surprised if Activision did the same thing. Apart from only inviting the diest of hardest fans for the original game.

It's like a laugh track, only it's a cheer track.

In all honesty if that was literally the presentation I would be cheering, a lot. I think honestly if someone used motherfuckers like that, and maybe even dropped the mic at the end. Standing O every time, especially from the PA crowd.

I did really like jumping around watching my cape flutter in Destiny 1.

Alright, you've sold me.

Question: will the guns that make up the cape, also have their own individual capes?

Yes. But only one of them. The Gun Cape of Gun Capening is an exotic end game item.

Even the ghost has a cape! Also, it seems to be surrounded by some kind of fluid.

Preacher

I want a ghost cape now!

Thanks PA now the game can never have what I most desire.

fightinfilipino

It was suggested by crimsonharvest on the drawing stream.

I came in here specifically to find out if anyone noticed and you provided exactly what I hoped for :biggrin:

I find the facial expression in panel 3 is dead on for a reveal.

This is absolutely adorable. And points to tiamatz for the incredibles reference.
