Physics
K so seeing that this game spans throughout the solar system, I was thinking that we could have different physics for the different planets
Like half gravity on Venus
Quick movements and high jumps in quick paced fighting
Or a little bit of a heavier movement on the sands of Mars where strategy beats brute force
Also for the places where it's in space like that broken ship near Saturn
We could have no gravity and wear jet packs or something
And in the city
What if the Traveler's mass is so large that it has a gravitational pull of its own
That'd be so cool walking/ floating through the city
And I'd like to see more map movement or interaction like a giant sandstorm moves in on Mars in the middle of fighting or a tree falling on Venus as a rocket explodes
We could fuse this with our armor
As the guardian walks through Mars, he/she gets a more scratched up look to indicate where he's been
Or have gravity boots to explore space wreckage or thermal goggles to give you more range in the blinding snowstorms of Europa
Probably won't happen in Destiny at least not Destiny 1 but it'd be cool to have it in any game
Just my two cents
What are your thoughts on this or what else would you like to see?

The only part of this I like is cosmetic damage to armor. For instance, say you finally save enough cash to buy that shiny new chest plate from your merchant buddy at the tower. You then head down into the Hellmouth with your homies. You somehow manage to survive and upon coming back into the sunlight, you notice some new char marks on the chest plate. This may be completely over the top and undoable, but it sure would add to the realism and keep you attached to your armor...

What is this, "half gravity" you speak of?

Me gusta.

1 ReplyI'm pretty sure bungie already said somewhere (maybe if you search through the miles of GI coverage) that this will not happen. They want to make the gameplay as consistent as possible. There might be one or two places that MIGHT have altered gravity, like in Reach, but I doubt it. Besides, the traveler is probably more hollow, and made of a very not-dense (sorry, don't know exact term) material not known to humans, so the overall mass would probably end up being very low, having practically no gravitational force that would affect us. Also, the mass of venus is very similar to that of earth, and mars is smaller. Simply put, both of your examples are invalid. Now if you said we could jump high on the moon, that would work.

4 RepliesAs helluva hard thing to pull off this would be,... It would also be nuckin' futs. The amount of badassery this would give the environments would be just awesome.

Half gravity in Venus? Tap kek

5 RepliesThey've already confirmed all of this.

3 RepliesSo far, Bungie has given us the impression that whenever science gets in the way of the gameplay experience they will favor gameplay. Using space magic, fantasy, and "Traveler terraforming" to explain away those moments where they chose to take a creative license. They aren't being shy about it either. They have flat out admitted it. As for what that means on other planets or in extreme conditions.... we'll have to wait and see.

The Traveller changed everything. Made it inhabitable. Tripled our life span (coolest thing)
