Destiny: Solas - Episode 2 - IMMERSIPLAY

[@rexandersonvo]

Thank you for trusting me with Vero. It's been an honor and an absolute pleasure. Absolutely phenomenal work.

[@samhughesvo]

You did amazing man 👏 fantastic work. Honoured to be in this with you!

[@rexandersonvo]

@@samhughesvo Likewise dude!

[@sdarti-bug]

You did awesome. If y’all want anyone else to help in the next ones I’d love to participate! Me and my ghost Carlos are so down

[@MarcoMeatball]

Thanks for having me back. I loved watching this and loved being in it ❤

[@BROXBasher]

You did great, man! Everyone’s voices were great, and yours was easily recognizable for me! Super cool to see you in this!

YOOOOOOOOOOOO THATS MY MAN

[@juancruzcarbone349]

I'm studying creative writing to one day write a story set in the Destiny universe. I'm actually writing it, and at times, I lose motivation and feel like I'll never get anywhere. I need to tell you that YOU inspire me to keep going. Since I watched the first chapter, I fell in love with your way of writing, of narrating, of influencing my emotions. Simply and sincerely, thank you, Player One Stories. I will keep going for you and this entire community. You gave me the push I needed.

[@FirestarLeon]

While I did really, REALLY love this episode and all the atmosphere and labor it took to make this… more than anything, I’m glad you’re still here. That you’re still with us. That you are with us all in this moment, despite what it may feel in your darkest moments. Stand tall. And be brave. For you are never fighting alone.

[@dragosteinxgaming249]

The ghost saying "you are my color" made me tear up

[@twelved4983]

Hey, just saw the description. Hopefully you’re doing better now, and I speak for literally everyone when I say that I’m so happy you’re still here with us. I’m sorry if a lot’s happened (it has, no duh) but you’ve done amazing in being able to wake up and see the sun rise every morning, to feel its glow and warmth. Thank you for all you’ve done. I pray we can have more episodes in not as long of a span, but whether or not that occurs is not up to me, but you. You do what you must. Again, thank you so incredibly much for this. I love it all!

[@SarahMcManus]

Amazing job everyone! I hope you all love Ivy as much as I do! ^ - ^ She was so much fun to voice, and her enthusiasm was infectious \o/

[@markuszierhofer6279]

It has been an absolute honor to part of this episode! Thank you very much to all watching, contributors and of course Gage for creating this master piece!

[@FelixNZ123]

It was a pleasure to be on board for the animated sequence. Seeing those illustrations brought to life has been a career highlight.

[@AXL5221]

Absolute peak destiny content I swear to the traveler

[@just_billion7401]

Omg its happening everybody stay calm!……..STAY FUCKING CALM!!!

[@DieteticGoose58]

WERE ALL PERFECTLY CALM

[@samhughesvo]

Absolute pleasure to voice some characters in this, cheers again it was so fun! 😍

[@ramoxygendc]

Now this is how you tell a Destiny story through adaptation and creativity. No lackluster to be found other than working with what you have and what you can change. Honestly, this became more comprehensive than the Destiny I've known. Instead of being so isolated and confused, you are given the feeling of understanding the way things are. I mean, no one is perfect, but it doesn't mean to further worsen the disadvantage. Explore the world further with means and purpose. I felt the heart beat more in this video than just a game. This is a story I'm willing to wait years for. Keep going, Guardian.

[@mythiceverett9452]

This... is amazing. You are amazing. Eyes up guardian, sometimes things may seem bleak, sometimes things may not have a clear finish line, sometimes things get worse before they get better... but they will get better. Having you be with us still is the only thing I could ever hope for. You are making a powerful cinematic that will make waves in the industry of story telling. Your light burns brighter than us all. Thank you.

[@TheLateKnight4785]

Oh shit. This is a feature length film. I was hoping for just 10 more minutes can't wait to get home from work and watch this on my big screen!

[@zeroligervii6036]

I feel equally happy, sad and nostalgic when I watch this. The nostalgia comes form the hundreds of machinima videos I used to watch when Halo 3 was still fresh and new, and the sadness comes from the unfortunate decline of Bungie losing what made the story telling of their games special. But I am also happy that people like you still continue a long tradition made from creators two decades ago, I can't wait to see more episodes and I may redownload Destiny as well just to see what changed. Thank you for the art you create.

[@BROXBasher]

Plenty’s changed. Helm changed to last city.

[@davidditto6160]

This is incredible! A great addition to the story of Vero. Thanks for sharing this story in such a vivid way. Stay well Guardian.

[@the_rluda]

This deserves all of the attention and love the destiny and video game fanbase has to offer.

[@thababybeastsz]

Using destiny 1 for the nogun glitch is so CLEVERRRR THIS IS GOLDEN

[@Mooshaiii]

After patiently waiting for the part 2. I was so excited to get off of work to see that it was finally here. By far some of my favorite kind of story telling I've seen in any Immersiplay video. The characters and emotion were very raw and real. Had me screaming WTF IS THAT while Solas was in the wall. Glad you were able to get through it to finish this masterpiece.

[@sproutcorps6579]

Truly amazing work! I definitely did not tear up towards the end. Thank you for taking me and everyone here along on this vision of yours, while also making me a bit nostalgic with the D1 scenes.

[@twelved4983]

I remember when the first episode aired there was still primary ammo bricks on the ground (but had been removed in the game by then)

[@thatlonewolfguy2878]

This is quite simply a masterpiece. Keep it coming. I don't care how many months we have to wait for a new episode, please, give us more of this.

[@Steelgramps]

Thanks!

[@EionRodriguez]

I have to admit this was the best episode 2 I ever watched I like the story and the heartwarming memories that I played for so long and when I hear this this game the music the story of The traveler it made me a different person it's like I want to do great things in the future and those parts that were from the old destiny I got me by surprise and the animation and light affects were amazing I really like what you did in this video I hope there is more in the future May the travelers light guide us all.

[@TheHammertime51]

I put in for and was offered a chance to be an extra but work got in the way. Loved the 1st part all that time ago, excited to watch part 2!

[@helslayerknightclaw1339]

BEST. CHRISTMAS PRESENT. EVER. I will watch in 20 more times

[@gagethompson8943]

Could easily binge watch an entire season of this ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@ZenithAstral]

This is incredible. Truly, you really outdid yourself with this. Also, I read the description and I hope you’re doing better. This year hasn’t been a pleasant one for me either so I hope I can understand. Life can be hard, very hard, but there can always be something beautiful waiting around the corner. What you have made here proves that. Thank you for showing us your Light. And good luck.

[@MaleeshaT]

This was amazing! I was so excited when I saw there was an episode 2. If this was the story Bungie had taken me through I would still be playing Destiny lol. I can’t imagine the work that went into this and all the voice actors were great. There is crazy talent on display here. Keep up the great work and I’ll definitely watch episode 3.

[@Eclipses_happen]

This is the first time ive seen someone else use the wisteria orbit shell. Mass respect for ivy

[@conhuss]

This was truly amazing, i LOVE this story that you’ve created here and it really puts me on the edge of the seat! The storytelling, the SFX, the music, a cinematic universe. Absolutely breathtaking and i cant wait to see more of whats to come!

[@dredgenauryx3382]

INTERESTING! Absolutly amazing... it does raise some questions tho... soe the Awoken... well the cannon Awoken are just not a thing... or they are something different among many many other questions... I need asnwers... the inner inner Warlock has been awakened and demands enlightenment... I can't wait to see where this goes..

[@agelessgoose2217]

This is genuinely a fantastic story. You've somehow been able to make me feel the same way I felt all those years ago when D1 first came out . I am so excited to see the future of this story! To see the twists and turns it'll take and the history of the world itself. I love the concept of the light being finite causing a wall for humanity. I love the way you showed how truly intricate guardian and human relationships would be! I am so excited for this story to continue and will patiently be waiting for whenever it is able to continue! Thank you for the amazing work!

[@remor698]

Well now, this project has gotten ever more fascinating. Managing to recontextualize the concepts and assets of an existing universe like this is certainly an impressive feat. From the first episode, which I rewatched prior to viewing this as a refresher, I expected to see... something of a fanfiction story, told well with an added layer of personal storytelling through actions and dialogue, as well as added immersion through editing and effects. But this is much more. And it's very interesting to see the ways your universe runs parallel to and diverges from the foundations its built on. The algorithm isn't being kind to this, but it is a one-of-a-kind piece of art. A hidden gem, no doubt. You're awesome for pulling this off. Keep sharing more of yourself and there will be people to thank you for it. I certainly am one. Thank you, Gage Allen, Player One Studios and everyone who contributed to making this a reality.

[@itsavalon]

Immaculate sound design

[@roland3042]

Fan made projects like this are the reason why I love the destiny community. You clearly put a lot of passion into the project. This video showed so many things about the Destiny universe that I wish we could see in game. Especially the sequence of using the Last City's transit system. So much creativity!! I read the description of the video after I watched it, and I have to say you are valued and a treasure for the Destiny community! Keep on living and being you! The artist's greatest critic is always themselves.

[@mulch3445]

You guys completely knocked it out of the park!! The world building, the dialogue and THE LORE is ALL AMAZING. This is going to be the closest we get to a destiny show

[@minkay3349]

it s amazing, thank you .......Destiny is a great journey and you made it better

[@kingseeker_nicc17]

Omg welcome back and so glad you're still with us to share this amazing work! I cannot wait to see more from you :))

[@shawnradcliffe3514]

This was absolutely beautiful. A wonderful take on the world of Destiny. I cant remeber when the first episode dropped, but I know it was some years ago. Its good to see that the time gap between episodes was not wasted. I look forward to more, and wish all those involved in this project will bring the same love, attention, and passion that I felt simply watching this.

[@alltheclevernamesweretaken5294]

This is so good. The writing is really hitting home for me. Mad props to your writing team! (was this written by one person?) "there is no single chosen but that all are chosen in the eye of the light whether they wield it or not. You see in the early years there were those who believed they were above Humanity. Guardians that let the power of the light rise above their empathy for those around them. This caused great sorrow in the rest of us" HOLY SHIT! what a powerful bit of dialogue. By the time the end credits rolled for the episode I had tears. Bravo, seriously. just, wow. I'm awestruck by this. Thank you Gage and im glad you're still with us. DON'T LEAVE US!

[@aurora6421]

IVE WAITED SO LONG, AND OMG YES IM HERE AND READY

Awesome work, Gage! Thanks for letting me be a part of this! Looking forward to the next one!

[@rinnaremlassinus2233]

Yippee, been looking forward to this, looks amazing man!

[@wood7331]

Hey, I don't need another heartbreak. Don't torture yourself man, I trust that you'll get through everything. And this "little" filmmaking project you have, Is something I dreamed of watching. Keep it together, do whatever makes you feel better. Until the next episode Player1, I'll be there I promise.

[@Blank_Scroll]

WOO!! FINALLY THE WAIT IS OVER!!!!

[@fadeplays456]

I don’t know how this hasn’t blown up yet this entire project is amazing! Love it guys y’all did phenomenal, can’t wait to see more in the future!

[@Aylonxhs90]

This was really great. As a Destiny fan from all the way in the beta, it was awesome seeing how you blended everything together between 1 & 2. The acting was really great, and I loved the way you incorporated a new lore while still respecting what we all played through. I am looking forward to the next one, keep up the amazing work, and never lose faith in yourself. We are all glad you are here and wouldn't have it any other way. Stay strong and remember; Eyes up Gaurdain.

[@dwaugh2215]

incredible work! Worth he wait, the first part felt like a found footage film with the horror and you really nailed it on the creative story, even make the characters interact with each other. I really look forward to see more in the coming future! Have a good christmas and seasonal holidays!

[@jaocean4062]

This is amazing, the story telling and world building is peak

[@basshead993]

I will eagerly await the next episode, whether it too is years to come.

[@treepelt97]

I am glad you are feeling much better and had this amazing piece to not only share your ideas and stories but true feelings in as well. This is such an amazing video and story and honestly inspires me to work on Legacy's story and how she became a guardian tied to Ahemkaras (Lol I love dragons and her adopted mother comes from a different game I rped in where she pretty much spent her free years saving dragons) But I love this episode and will wait another year just for more. I hope you find your holidays well and your going into this new year feeling a whole lot better then the last. In the mean time I think im going to talk to Vero's Ghost about sand lol

[@d3po607]

its about time been waiting for the longest time THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[@d3po607]

well this is not like episode 1.

[@bencoates7618]

Holy Crap!!! I have no words to properly describe what I felt watchng this. I felt genuine fear during the nightmare sequences, the Video editing and sound design were unreal, and I genuinely felt connected to the story and characters. They feel so alive, and have so much weight to them Curtesy of the writer and voice actors. It was a long road to get to this point and it was no doubt a massive undertaking of love and effort. Creator, you have something so amazing and special. I'm not really sure what else i can say but, thankyou. Thankyou for making such an amazing piece of art. Bravo!!!

[@ik3p3r3z10200]

Thank you for this wonderful gift this Christmas

[@Vynirian]

Unironically one of the best things I've watched on youtube.

[@Diaianz]

what the fuck? this is the best shit i've ever seen about destiny the ghost talking about his guardian made me cry...i'll say that to my wife when the time come

[@fuji598]

Keep up the good work. These are incredible.

[@epichighfive2976]

hope you’re doing well, thank you for this project that so many people will enjoy

[@adambeasley35]

This was absolutely amazing! I felt the emotional strings from Vero and I felt like I was with him. This is how a guardian's journey should start 👍☺️

[@LegacyGirl]

Thank you for this. I love destiny and this is amazing! Glad you’re feeling better and please remember you are important. You are amazing. And we are happy you are here. Good job darlin. You’ve created a masterpiece.

[@SamiAM0001]

Love to see more of Solas and the other guardians in the next episode. It'll be great to watch how this grows.

[@Tylo_Ren]

I want to start off by saying this episode was so good! I absolutely loved it! With that, I do have some critiques. The cinematography and the creativity behind using different parts of Destiny 1 and 2 for filming was AMAZING! Absolutely fantastic, especially using the NPCs. Also, I really liked how you folks are changing the lore and world to make it your own unique story. Despite that, I do think that some of the changes limit the direction you can take the story. Changing the origin of the awoken and the name makes it harder to use the full breadth of the world in-game. Limiting the use and power of the light is an interesting choice and I'm really looking forward to what you guys do with that. Another thing I think will be really hard to overcome is how the game continues to change over time. Like how now, the traveler isn't in the last city anymore, how the helm is landed next to the tower, and other things like that. Your editing and VFX are amazing, so I'm sure you'll be able to tackle any problems that creates, but I imagine it would be a lot easier if you write some of those changes into your story. And while I did enjoy this episode, at times it did feel a bit slow and drawn out. It's very well written, but the story and lore heaviness of the episode dragged down the pacing a bit. Altogether it was still a wonderful video to watch! I'm eagerly looking forward to the next episodes and how the story turns out. I think it has tons of potential to grow and be a big hit. I think if you're able to dial up the action and get a bit more excitement into it, you can get a lot more traction in the community. Sending my hopes and love! Keep up the amazing work. Glad you're still with us and wishing you the best. Eyes up Guardian!

[@fysy9989]

I love that the horror/scary feeling of this, reminds me of D1 when I went into this dark room, radar flashing red and than a bunch of screaming thralls running towards me, when I first encountered the hive. Or the presage mission. Really well done, lots of attention to detail and great storytelling

[@willthethrill9576]

Worth the wait

[@hunnee_bee_7603]

In a word... Outstanding! So thankful that you are still with us...

[@roland3042]

Yoooo. It's finally here!!!! 🎉 🎉

[@joshuasouthwick6808]

It was worth the wait! I remember when the first episode was released!

[@markussaula721]

I misjudged you for believing that you were delaying things because of losing interest in the project... No, you put everything you could for just a continuation and that was great! Sincerely, an executive producer of any cinematographic company or study should never write a video game story before a passionate player... Your commitment to build your own stories is the reason why future videogame narratives should be ours to do first!

[@markussaula721]

Also, I'm currently writing a Destiny novel in spanish, because I'm from the Iberian Peninsula you know? And man, every time I revise the chapters, I suffer to think a lot about what to put or change, but it's not painful, because I'm a hardcore Destiny follower. And I remember sending an e-mail to ya, that was stupid... And that's why, we should be going our way and maybe at some point, we'll get the recognition we deserve...

[@starblade5474]

I loved the first episode and this one was out of this world i cant wait for the next episode and the nostalgia, seeing the destiny 1 courtyard, omg it just gave me the feels man keep up the amazing work everyone

[@medraresteak643]

Great story guys although this part at 54:42 had me dying😂

[@WisdomThumbs]

The bit about Ghost wanting to discuss his favorite types of sand made me happy. That was the moment he became my favorite version of Ghost. It's exactly the type of granular (ha) character building I love. Made me want to talk to him for hours. The voice acting is as incredible as the writing. The slow pace at the start had me on edge but a bit frustrated, until it became apparent that the mission was a crazy inventive framing device for the episode's story. I never played much Destiny 2. Never finished most of the raids in the first game, either. But it's one of my favorite game universes, and the roleplay/gameplay style you're building here is *exactly* what I always did during my stint. Can't wait to see Solas grow into a fast-paced, daring gunslinger. BTW, Dreshland wears the almost the same armor and helmet that I did during my almost-extensive stint in Destiny 1. Despite the sequel differences and the different Mark, I've already attached to him like he's a former squadmate in a knightly order. God, I love these characters already. This is the future of machinima, long awaiting inheritors. Two thumbs up in blessing. And if you ever need help with suicide prevention... I did a suicide prevention poster for Gears of War's "Never Fight Alone" campaign last year. I'll send you a free signed original if you want, and donate its worth to a prevention hotline. If you want. You're not alone, brother. I know how it is. We're all glad you've made it. Onto the next fight!

[@TimachinimaCinema]

Absolutely incredible.

[@BigTwigs1981]

I've been waiting for this since the first episode. amazing work. Glad you're still here. Can't wait to see what stories you will tell us next.

[@BENZINOJr117]

Hey, Gage. While I don't know you and what you've been through, I can say with certainty that coming back to address the community YOU made is something you should be proud of. I think people are entitled to feel disappointed with the wait, but I think you are more entitled to address your needs first. The reality seems to be that there wasn't room for involving the community and addressing your personal challenges at the same time. I hope you take Solace in the fact that you would do better if you could. That we would all do better if we can and we will. We'll find a recipe for success.

[@J_DEADWE1GHT]

I’m so here for this. I can’t wait to see how far this goes because this truly is something special.

[@hatchst49]

So good! This much more aligns with how I wanted the Destiny story to go in D2 and how I viewed the light vs dark. Can't wait to see what you do next! I'm up for anything even if it isn't destiny related. This is a really neat way to explore stories further and put a unique take on it. ❤❤❤

[@TheSplashArmyy]

Masterfully done! This is awesome

[@mateominiati5256]

Amazing. This is beautiful and well worth the wait. I have so many questions on how you recorded some of the angles in the D2 tower, and hopefully we can get a "behind the scenes" on how you do some of the effects as well

[@lSleepiel]

This is a phenomenal video, the cinematography and sound design are so good! I may be one voice of many, but I'm truly glad that you're still with us. I know what it means to feel like that, but this story, this world wouldn't exist without you, and for that I am truly grateful. It's projects like this that show what a great game Destiny is, and how passionate its player base is. I hope you have your head held high with pride over what you've been able to achieve.
