Is it live service? I've only heard open world. More Just Cause than Destiny.
Far cry maybe would've been a better example than just cause, but that's the issue with classifying it as "open world shooter". It could be Far Cry, it could be Destiny, it could be anything between. It could even be Just Cause because we don't even know if it's first or third person.
The whole announcement is a nothing burger.
Is it 3rd person? I assumed 1st.
I'm comparing basic single player open world to live service. Not POV
Destiny 2 was live service, Destiny was arguably not entirely when it released but was getting ready to go there by the end.
