Because it’s not an in game cutscene like the others. I’m pretty sure that the super high quality cutscenes that Destiny has had over the years have been outsourced to other studios.
I feel like this is the greatest season-DLC transition we’ve ever seen. If this is a hint at what we’re getting in Lightfall, I think we are all in for a wild ride
Based on the short clip we've seen of our ship entering light speed (or whatever its called in Destiny) while we're OUTSIDE IN SPACE. It'll be amazing.
@@ShadowNova300 I wonder if that's how we first see glimpses of Strand. To my recollection nobody ever went "Lightspeed" outside of a ship so maybe we see/sense something.
Seeing Ana cry got to me, damn near made me cry. Also, seeing the traveler just above earth reminded of the promotional poster for Destiny 8 years ago. Well done, Bungie.
@@Baraka_Obama_ So Clovis Bray made Rasputin as a warmind but Ana gave him thought and emotion. We just revived rasputin which was that exo in the video. We finally got to see Rasputin grow into a person, a guardian but just as quickly as he came ,he left
@@Baraka_Obama_ Well first off welcome to Destiny 2! Glad to have you on this crazy journey! As for your question Ana was crying over Rasputin because back in a time centuries before D1 or D2 started there was a time of peace and advancement called the Golden Age. This is where humans colonized on other worlds and was also when the Traveler was first discovered. So during this time is when Clovis Bray and his family created all the amazing inventions that they did from engrams to SIVA to even Rasputin. So during that time Rasputin was made to be a weapon to protect humanity and make sure the Traveler never left. Although most of it changed because Ana Bray steps up and was teaching him about art and music, and just was of being more human. It was because of her that Rasputin wasn’t a mindless drone who would follow his orders and protocols. Also remember this is before The Collapse and the creation of Gurdians/Ghosts, so Ana was a normal human at the time who later on died most likely during The Collapse when The Witness and it’s forces invaded Earth and the other colonies like it’s going to do now. So with all that being said Ana grew very close to Rasputin and it turn he became family to her so losing him right after she got him back has to be really hard on her. As someone who’s been playing Destiny since the D1 Beta I gotta say it’s sad to see him go, yeah he tried killing us in the past and always needed saving but Rasputin was always a character who was in the background that we knew would always protect us. Now that he’s gone it’s going to be very weird if we have to raid Warmind vaults and not have him there. It’s hard to explain it’s just an odd feeling to not have him around anymore cause he was a staple to a lot of missions and such when he was his old self before becoming an Exo and having this character development. Hope this helped you understand! If you’d like to learn more about the lore I suggest watching some videos from Mynameisbyf he’s an excellent RU-vidr and the go to for Destiny lore, it’s also why he’s called Lore Daddy. Anyways have a good one and I hope you keep enjoying Destiny!
that shot where the traveler was above earth was a shot from destiny 1. Good call back scene. I wonder if its Bungie hinting something. Or perhaps they are saying that this is a new era of destiny? Hard to say to be honest.
Yeah, I don't think the Traveler is leaving, it's getting into position to do something. I think The Gardener is basically saying "I'm sick and tired of running".
@@Aeveir1311 nah its just as the witness said i think. the traveler went like "oh im about to dip cya boyz" and then the pyramids cornered earth so it had nowhere to run. so its here like "oh... shit what am i gonna do now"
Out of all the end season cutscenes and events through Destiny 2 this has got to be hands down one of the best endings to a yearly seasonal arc. The only other one that comes to mind with such an impact has to be The Calamaty Protocol Live event at the end of Shadowkeep year, right before Beyond Light. The cutscene while short had the same nostalgic feeling like this one had, imitating the classic D1 poster screen, with the darkness snaking through the scene to take all the planets the season had set up to be taken away. Plus after that if you tried to log back in, the only message was "The Light cannot save you, seek us out on Europa." God I fucking love Destiny.
I would say that was a dub for Rasputin. Xivu Arath doesn’t get supercharged and Eramis doesn’t blow up the traveler (and us with it). The witness just thinks the traveler is scared so it didn’t move but it stayed due to Rasputins sacrifice.
Because bungies are idiots in terms of lore logic. Rasputin is the most powerful and most advanced AI in the history of mankind in the world of the game, that even the Vex cannot simulate him and he is the only one who, without access to paracausality, could survive in a direct collision with darkness - but (suddenly!) he cannot do anything . While he still has the SIVA tech he can control - at least there's a sample from our outbreak perfected - what's stopping him from recovering/making weapons with them? Never mind. Plus it has satellites and infrastructure that we helped rebuild. And about the fact that the "fallen ones got access to the codes" - hello - you literally control all this as if it were your own body - change the codes and develop a new security system! On some unusual logic, so that the organics go crazy when they try to hack. For Rasputin, this would have been an easy task. The fact that Zivu wanted to use the satellites to sacrifice for the invasion ritual - damn it - that didn't change with the destruction of the satellites - it's just that now it will be more bloody. It is not clear what prevented you from saving the satellites in the way that I described above, and simply repelling attacks pointwise, still stretching the "sacrifice" so as not to activate the ritual - it is not clear. According to lore, Rasputin has a bunch of technologies, from the same IKEL (I still don’t understand why the military AI made most of its weapons weak in damage - in theory, all of its weapons should be on an aggressive / reinforced frame), to the ability to destroy entire worlds, based on which it was possible to just throw a bunch of new weapons into the game, but instead, in the season of the seraph, we have only regular reskins disguised as new ones. In general, bangs are simply at odds with logic. Here we have Rasputin, who is no longer even an AI, but it’s not clear at all - who, according to the lore, even practically destroyed and hiding, gave heat to the Cabal and the Vex at the same time. But at the same time, some fallen homeless people can hack him, and he can’t do anything, well, absolutely nothing at all now...
Body left there cause he wasn't added yet, we're pretty much still in the past, when H.E.L.M is updated and it'll be gone, so who knows right now it stands at 50/50.
I have my misgivings over the loss of Rasputin given how little of him we’ve actually had over the years …but still hit hard in the feels. Definitely one of the best cutscenes in Destiny history. RIP, Rasputin.
The way I see it in hindsight, there was no other way this could end. He's too powerful and too corruptible to exist as he has, and his entire arc over the years led to him realizing this. But also, well, we all know how the saying goes. Devotion inspires bravery. Bravery inspires sacrifice. Sacrifice leads to death. I feel like there's a reason the Traveler stopped leaving just as soon as Rasputin went offline.
@@archon7105 i wouldnt rule it out, could be a good ol case of misdirection. i mean if you really think about it, elsie sounded surprised, and the warsats being destroyed was kinda the whole point, so theres no reason to be surprised about that, and they were already destroyed when she said that, so what would have emitted that light?
@@fallen5983 yeah but they were also surprised by the traveler literally moving. So I think it stopping would cause a response. Also it’s subtle but Elsie looks to the side where the monitors are.
@@fallen5983 yeah and? So that doesn’t mean the entire room can reboot with new power? I’m just saying. A ghost appearing almost instantly is way to fast to say he’s a guardian. And Rasputin is a high value character they’d have his resurrection on screen
What's crazy is that the Traveler would of dipped if it could. I honestly thought it "had a change of heart" until the Witness said it had nowhere else to run
It wouldn't have. We know from other lore that the traveler moves extremely fast. This was likely it just moving to challenge the Darkness and take a stand (also to minimize damage to the last city just in case)
@@joshendicott5767 I am deeply sorry indeed if my futile attempt at making a joke looked like "bitching" to you my sir, I shall never make the same mistake and again my lord, I am immesurably sorry for the inconvinience
In the Vidoc you can see Calus's ship at Earth with the rest of the fleet, before leavinh for Neomuna, I think they probably come here and steal the files Rasputin left for Osiris.
Yeah, depressing that rasputins gone and all but.. Am I the only one that's actually happy? No more fucking seasons that include a warmind theme again. We've had somany.
I don't think it's leaving. If I remember correctly, the Traveler can move REALLY fast, so if it's moving slow like that I think it's getting into position to defend itself.
I really wish they brought destiny back to PS4 idk if they did or not but the original destiny universe was so exciting and thrilling just like destiny 2 both these games have been great.
Zero reasons that Rasputin couldn’t have copied a version of himself in to an engram or another Exo frame or any spare disk space like he’s done many times before. It took Clovis about 8 seconds to do. Dumbest plot point since the acceptance of Crow’s guilt for murdering Cayde when he was obviously acting on the will of a giant Mind Control Space Meatball and was totally brainwashed. Dumb plot points for $800 please Alex.
I'm guessing you haven't payed attention much this season, or don't know much about the warsats. The reason Rasputin couldn't make a copy is because that would prevent the warsats from being destroyed. The warsats function through Rasputin, so if he was still there, the warsats would continue to destroy the Traveler. The only solution to this is to completely delete Rasputin.
@@punboimebob7406 If he downloaded himself in to a frame he would not be connected to anything. Just like hid "son" before him. Do you think Exos all use WiFi or Bluetooth to communicate? He would not ne a part of his network anymore. An Exo is an individual who is connected to nothing. What about downloading to an engram like Clovis?? What's the engram connected to?? Again, there is literally ZERO reason he couldn't have survived in some form. Z E R O.
