So this looks to take several pages out of the Destiny book.  Color me excited and open to playing!  Making me want to drop $499 on a Xbox One X (still getting used to the name) and a 4k TV with HDR...  Though will TVs reduce input lag enough for it to work in this game?

You are protectors of humanity.

You will explore a large open world with dynamic events and quests.

Your "Javelins" (exo suits that make you a bad ass, no space magic) come in several types and you can modify their performance and looks. There was a high impact mortar which made a huge boom.  Then there was another which was like a smart missile launcher that tracked to targets.

No mention of PVP, so that may hurt some people's feelings.

So here's where I will do my Destiny comparison.  The set up is similar, there looks to be a lot of customization, more looks to have more RPG systems.  Four person teams to tackle difficult objectives.  I can see how easy things like strikes and raids could emerge.  Seems like you level gear and collect loot in a similar way.  

Well, I'm very interested and I'll be looking forward to seeing how well it copies and improves upon Destiny.  But if the movement and gun play don't feel good, it's going to get pooed on.
