Cosmodrome Winter Tour Stream TODAY!
FYI: https://www.bungie.net/en/News/Article/44985
Bungie is streaming today, at 10 AM PST, a little sneak peak at some of the changes coming to the Cosmodrome in Rise of Iron.
My body is ready.
Well, that was one of the most lackluster "reveal" streams.
SPOILERS:
A new Gjallahorn inspired sparrow, "Gjallawing" (or whatever it's called), was revealed and is available to those that pre-order the expansion. The rest of the stream showed a small portion of the Cosmodrome that has been invaded by the devil splicers and it's now winter time.
The two guests seemed especially lost. One of the devs didn't even seems to know the release date of RoI and the other dev was obviously lost (having said he was a last-minute replacement). I don't know if these guys just weren't prepared or didn't know how to discuss things without giving away too much story, but it was awful. Perhaps there just wasn't much to talk about other than here is the new sparrow and here is some snow on the ground.
Anyway, if you missed the stream then rest assured that you didn't miss much of anything... Unless you like uncomfortable commentary and bad gameplay, then you will LOVE this stream.
And for those that missed it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBnW6JQFPQM
I did see a "couple" of comments in reddit talking about the uncomfortable/cold dialog.
Still can't preorder ROI for the XBONE. WTF Bungie? Anyone read anything about why XBOX One version is not ready for preorder yet?
Yeah, they said we'll be able to pre-order "soon" on XB1.
I'm guessing pre-orders will commence once the latest XB1 system update is released. Soon I think.
I fast-forwarded the YouTube video version of that live stream of Cosmodrome Winter. I noticed the odd behaviors of the two Bungie developers - as if they don't know each other well. The banter was definitely absent between devs and the host of the stream.
Anyway, I really like the look and feel of gray Russian winter in the preview - that is how Russian snowy weather and coldness are like. The RoI fight part in Cosmodrome seems incomplete - I bet it might look better in the final version when RoI is released.
But definitely not looking forward to all-day downloading of 14 GB of Rise of Iron contents.
