Destiny cut content is really intresting, giving us a glimps on a "what if" scenario if they were to realize their full vision unchained by whims of upper management.
I appreciate the history lesson and effort to create a more aesthetically pleasing look at D1's Lost Oasis. As an aside: it's funny that me, yourself, and other players instinctively knew something was up with the Rubicon Wastes door. Before I knew anything about the Lost Oasis, I just assumed it would have been used for the Forge of Gods, if it ever had any work done for it.
I love this comment, because same here! When I joined Raid secrets back during D1 it was the first question I asked about it. Something like, "What is going to be behind that door"
4:14 Looking at this whole map was actually so shocking to me, because looking at it further reveals that its not just the lost oasis chunk of io, but this entire section was used as a baseline for the whole map, the drill from giants scar is to the left, a tiny pyramidion is to the right, even the whole cabal base that looms over the area is seen in the back.
You’ve single handily shown more love for the community than the current CEO at Bungie right now. You have my respect for learning blender just to provide a love letter to the fans of this game, that have been on this journey for a decade now. Salute.
@@jujureference8535 buddy please put 2 and 2 together 😭 i haven’t played d1 in years so please, i don’t remember remember every perk of every super from a super super old system
Never was able to view the maps in a state more than just the raw map files, so cool to actually see them textured. Hope to get game mods for the game one to day so that we can actually visit them in game.
a PC port for D1 has been worked on in the past, but its not public, nor was it ever finished iirc, but could probably load into them that way for D2 though, there was a couple people who modded it and had their own servers running, not public though
One of the things I wish we could have learned more about is the buried city on mars, you go up a tall building in the flayers strike in D1 and I absolutely loved that, I really wanted to learn more about that whole area. Especially as that was early Clovis stuff before we really learned what Exos were. That small segment of lore and aesthetics was and still is my favourite piece of destiny content ever.
ALSO fun fact, that door 15:14 is not the sole way to get in. In the map files there is a tunnel (WADIs map iirc) that leads to a door in legions keep with a unique cabal logo
@@Solus_Destiny the pipe connecting to the door in legions keep isnt in d1, behind the door is just a small box that u can breach straight into with the emote breach
I’m gonna go digging through your channel now but if you haven’t before, you should definitely make more content like this! Missing pieces of maps is so fascinating to me to ponder “what if?”. Pour one out for that og campaign we never got.
I've kept up with this game for years, have always loved looking at stuff like it's out of bounds glitches, and have always wished we knew more about the original vision of destiny 1. I've never seen anything like the rendering of the cut areas of mars you've done. It's crazy impressive and its nice that someone still cares enough to actually make this kind of content
So glad youtube recommended this to me. I used to box break behind that mars door for fun, but it's really cool and interesting to hear about what that area was intended for.
I love when you show the d1 and d2 versions of each scene, like the tower used in both versions. It's very interesting and shows how much work you put into this video to get identical angles in both games. Thanks for the entertainment 👍
Great video! I do love seeing unused stuff from this franchise, its super interesting, and one of my guilty pleasures (sunken ketch my beloved). Heres a couple other notes i thought about while I was watching: Mars Lost Oasis and IO Lost Oasis, are essantially the same geo wise. For IO they did some set dressing, model replacing, added inside areas for missions and lost sectors, and jumbed around a couple things (pyramidion was moved a bit), but the outside is near 1:1, it barely changed. The biggest change of course, was the pyramidion, which was a huge downgrade tbh. Some of the unused entrance was reused as the drop down for the Brakion arena, and that area with the triangle platfrom still ended up in the D2 pyramidion somewhere in the distance iirc. Either version of the pyramidion might of also been home to the scrapped vex raid they never made. What you didn't show in the video is charlemagne's vault, which does mostly exist, although it is essentialy the same as the vault in the cosmodrome (the one accessed in the forgotten shore).
Yes!! Warmind Vault JYS! Funnily enough, I forgot that even existed, until I started researching it for this project. And to remember that we went there in vanilla D2 campaign is wild.
Thanks for showing this, this is super cool! I pieced together a few years ago that Io and D1 Mars were alike literally only because Crossroads was my go-to Custom Games map with friends. I saw the pyramidion and "Lost Oasis" zone. Keep up the awesome work!
This was a great video; the D1 soundtrack, the 21:9 aspect ratio, all of it. You touched on the very thing that still preoccupies me about Destiny, even to this day. What would that other journey have been? What would the "all this is playable space" iteration of Destiny been like-- flyable ships? A real-in-game-time day / night cycle? There were so many ideas floated out at the outset of the project that became Destiny, and I cannot, *cannot* help but wonder where those threads would have led over the course of the last decade. Great video, great vibes. Sub earned.
Really manage to recapture the essence of joy, mystery and amusement that Destiny bringed the cherry on top was the D1 Music for me its the most inmersive Music that i ever experienced it was like the first time i got to listen the Halo CE menu song for the first time when i was younger. For me the D1 Music was a mix of Elves Music from LOTR and Halo magic alien otherwordly Music. Thanks man for bringing the memories back
I remember trying to wall breach through the door months ago. That vid is still up on my channel. I'm glad to finally see someone go indepth on this I knew it was in the pkg files as I'm part of the model ripping discord. I'm glad to finally see it textured to some degree. It's this stuff that puts D1 mars in my top 5 destinations.
Tbh this video kinda filled me with rage, especially watching it after the recent Bungie layoffs. It really drives home just how hard the leadership at Bungie screwed over the franchise. I'd never heard the original version of the game referred to as the Staten Cut before. Makes a hell of a lot of sense. My D1 clan name is still Joe Staten's Heretics.
i have never been so sad about a videogame before. Io makes me want to cry. Its been a pain in me heart for years, knowing of the glory of Mars and all of D1s cut content.. Thank you So SO SO SO much for making this video and showing off the environment in Blender. I havent been so happy [excited] in SO long. 🎉🎉 great stuffs man, I hope youre able to bring to light more of Destinys unused content. Seeing more of this world is a delight.
Very positively surprised by the amount of effort and work put into this video. Amazing work, great voice, nice music and cuts throughout the video. Keep it up!
dude, this is a genuinely incredible video. i’m astonished you don’t have more subs for how well-realized the concept and execution of this is. great job!!!!
Woke up and saw this notification, never opened a video so fast. I've been waiting on this video ever since the first time you mentioned it in one of your community posts! Been loving your content, Solus, keep up the amazing work!!
This was an absolutely phenomenal video! The editing, the music, the voiceover, just such a well presented time capsule. Seeing this also evoked that feeling of ‘what if’ we got the original Destiny story. Alas we probably will never see it but at least we have these excellent videos to watch. Great job 👏
If I recall, there never was supposed to be a Destiny 2. Bungie wanted to just keep adding onto Destiny 1 but then Activision decided to announce Destiny 2 out of nowhere and it threw a wrench in everything. With enough time, we would have probably got those cut areas and the areas in Destiny 2 were just continuations of the old one.
My favourite about Mars patrol in D1 is that you could make it down to the black garden strike area, and fly off the glimmer wall and go flying I miss that shit
13:40 if you want to extend the mystery further, there are certain bits of lore within destiny 1 gear (usually cloaks) that give hints back to the old story. In the first destiny 1 mars reveal trailer theres a voice at the end that we never find out who is actually talking. It is likely Elsie, which hints at cut content of Elsie and Clovis Bray being a bigger d1 story point, but also sounds like Micah-10. Theres so much mystery in this game and its a shame so much of it gets swept under a rug of sorts.
Brilliant video, takes me back to the D1 days of clipping through a door in the cosmodrome (while exiting a sparrow) to see a whole area not yet officially released in DLC! Honestly can’t remember what it was though.
I miss the way Destiny 1 made me feel. Gods, and the music too... Thank you for the big dose of nostalgia, as well as the hard work you and your fireteam went through to make this possible.
@@Solus_Destinythank you bro! This brought me so much nostalgia! I’m n have been playing for the past 10 years, this game is special to me. It has helped me to get out of some serious pits of depression. Thank you for the work you did!
It's great seeing those maps again after all these years, but you may benefit from using a global light of some variety to allow for more detail in shadowed areas.
@@stuffedsomething1699 I actually did use global lighting, the “sun” light source for the exterior, BUTTTT I also had zero blender experience before this, the fact I even got it textured was hard enough haha
One thing ill never understand is why they dont just expand the worlds we have, instead of giving us new planets, give us new places on the planets we have, the cities of mars and venus, the literal continents of the earth unexplored, the moon having an entire other side to look at.
Great vid, any chance you could do more videos on the illusive Staten cut? Seems to be the missing piece in destiny that would’ve made its story and world a cohesive piece
I actually might have a video coming on that, would be a collaborative one. But I think we could make it work, where it is almost completely start to finish as well.
At some point in Destiny's lifespan, we stopped exploring the ancient ruins of humanity, and the mysteries of our past. It was one of the main things I loved about the world of Destiny. Not to say what we have isn't fun to play, I have an ungodly amount of playtime. I just think I liked the initial vision for Destiny a lot more than what we ended up with.
I remember Bungie saying they have to rebuild the content from D1 from scratch for D2 and can't simply put it over. I'm no dev but I'm being honest: I don't believe it. There are so many unused things to find they didn't need to make. But still they are there. VoG in D2 for example. You can explore more beyond the barriers and the question is: why is this even there?
"What could've been" Alot of stuff has been made alot of stuff has been vaulted, but so much other stuff got cut that makes you just wonder...how big this game could be
@Solus_Destiny Titan! I always thought the arcology would've been the one thing they would try to bring back as a patrol zone in season deep like derelict leviathan for season haunted, but I guess not. still, some of the most serene areas imo
Haven't finished the video fully yet, though I intend to, as it goes on, I can't help but feel sad, we lost potentially the greatest version of Destiny. I always imagined Destiny would have won the world over as Halo did, but bigger. Ever since the controvercies took place, It's felt like we were robbed of our Destiny....... to experience something amazing. Destiny was still good, but i still feel like it could have been WAY better.
lorewise this area supposed to be a remnants of "first place traveler (light) touched" - so, since the traveler makes unhabitable planets, uhh, habitable, this mars forest was a really special and sacred place, it's even called "the lost oasis" to underline that meaning so, Bungie just decided to put it on Io and swapped the "first" with "last" (... place traveler touched") completely devaluating it's original tone and value for the game this way IMO, it was a huge creative misdirection from them, this area should have stayed on Mars
makes you wonder if destiny 2 brought all of this content back along with unvaulting previous campaigns and content it would probably have a 800gb file size bare minimal.
Don’t wanna be negative but unfortunately can’t see it happening, for some reason new bungie seem to avoid talking about anything to do with pre release state and story of destiny:/ I’d love for them to just come out with it all, and they must have some of the old builds locked away deep in the bungie headquarters (I cope I cope) all of this stuff and what could of beens fascinates me more than the actual game at this point
Great vid Solus, it really makes me think of what if thoughts, about to story changing to what we got. I'm been archiving Destiny, and if you need any help with map info, hit me up.
With the rubicon wastes door at 5:50 ish, you can sword and garry fly so so far out towards the distance, I was going for about 5 or so minutes before I ran out of ammo, I was honestly expecting some form of a galaxy pools loadzone out there somewhere but I assume the loads and area are fully deleted from the game but hey maybe it’s just out there somewhere👀. Some of the tunnels in the ironline oob that are floating and are blocked off would’ve connected to a loadzone called SHIELD or something that would’ve then gone on to connect to one of the cut load zones
@@Solus_Destiny there are a few of them yes, if you do the wallbreach emote you can have a look, from the overview blender file screenshot I’ve got you can see these cut tunnels from above the lost oasis area and the pyramidion. I breached through a random tunnel to get to the remaining ones but maybe if you kinda look from above in blender then find which tunnel originally led to these cut zones maybe there is a load we can hit? the tunnels I found go nowhere but were obviously used for something as they remain out of bounds! They go 3 ways and there are two of them strangely you can pass through the left and right on each side iirc fine and just fall into the abyss but the others have a hard wall/death barrier I really need to hop on and do the no boundaries glitch and see if theres anything I can find. This could really be a galaxy pools situation regarding the rubicon door as I was able to sword fly for so far instead of dropping in behind the wastes door maybe somethings out there! God what I’d do to get my hands on a build with all of this included (if there even is one) I spoke to kellestial quite a while ago now and I think he was looking in some different areas using different oob tools etc but I don’t think it led to anything. Maybe it’s cope but I’m sure something’s gotta be out there!
@@Solus_Destiny possibly but I’m not sure, if we have the same blender image I could see from the videos you had a lot more than me I just had a base uncoloured screenshot from above that showed all the locations and tunnels. Another area that peaked my interest was legions keep. There’s that weird red structure in the corner that I could not get into for the life of me, and behind that fence the area looks promising and cool to explore and if I’m right it kinda lines up with an area behind the wastes but don’t hold me on that, I kinda theorised that the big tunnel where that huge drilling machine kinda thing was led somewhere but was blocked off with the drilling machine thing, always seemed a bit weird that it was there to me but could be nothing. And maybe legions keep also connected to that area, but hey just a theory and if you know the red structure/tunnel thing (if it’s even red) I’m talking about in the corner maybe it’s worth seeing if you can get inside. It’s weird if you look past the fence in keep too you can see a door/passage that comes out from the ground and looks like it’s connected to that tunnel/structure too in the corner. IIRC keep was only used for that vex structure thing infront of the tunnel I’m talking about seems to me originally there would’ve been a lot more and a much bigger area
@@Solus_Destiny Ah yeah. I was trying to figure out why that space would be there since vex void was going to take place on Mercury and totally forgot about the pyramidion. We go there in Curse of Osiris so that also makes sense although the story was probably very different
@@PorgChamp vex void was never gonna take place on Mercury. CoO was made entirely as a separate thing (this was discussed in an unfortunate article about harrassment at Bungie). Vex void was likely the taken king Mars dlc that got scrapped. If u look up Peter Christensens blog u can see the original vex pyramidion cinematic, and its definitely on Mars. Also, all the other evidence for vex void suggests it took place in the pyramidion on Mars.
Can you do a video of the dreadnaught? I’ve always been curious of the hive architecture, especially the Mac cannon. It’s so out of place with the hive magic to see their technology
Whether we wanted it or not, we've stepped into a war with the Cabal on Mars. So let's get to taking out their command, one by one. Valus Ta'aurc. From what I can gather, he commands the Siege Dancers from an Imperial Land Tank just outside of Rubicon. He's well protected, but with the right team, we can punch through those defenses, take this beast out, and break their grip on Freehold.

Theres so much mystery in this game and its a shame so much of it gets swept under a rug of sorts.
@@quietnumber2317 Micah - 10 existed long before TFS
Brilliant video, takes me back to the D1 days of clipping through a door in the cosmodrome (while exiting a sparrow) to see a whole area not yet officially released in DLC! Honestly can’t remember what it was though.
Can’t remember the name either but the one with the ultra captain right?
outstanding content, yhanks for your contribution to the community!!!
I miss the way Destiny 1 made me feel. Gods, and the music too...
Thank you for the big dose of nostalgia, as well as the hard work you and your fireteam went through to make this possible.
@@lucille-oatmeal it was months of work, but I knew I had to get it out and made.
Thank you!
D1 is still decently active if you ever want to/can return
Amazing find via the algorithm! Subbed really fast!
thank you bro!
@@Solus_Destinythank you bro! This brought me so much nostalgia! I’m n have been playing for the past 10 years, this game is special to me. It has helped me to get out of some serious pits of depression. Thank you for the work you did!
Great video. Love the narration and editing
It's great seeing those maps again after all these years, but you may benefit from using a global light of some variety to allow for more detail in shadowed areas.
@@stuffedsomething1699 I actually did use global lighting, the “sun” light source for the exterior, BUTTTT I also had zero blender experience before this, the fact I even got it textured was hard enough haha
That was lovely man, thanks! ✌🏼
Love your videos, always a pleasure to watch.
Keep up the great work! 🙌❤️
@@Saga_khooba thank you 🫶🏼🫶🏼
This is a fantastic video, very well edited. :)
Great video! Subbed. Love your format!
Been waiting for this video!
great vid, its always so interesting seeing what could have been, theorizing where places could lead to, takes me back to the simpler times
Very well put together vid. Got my sub
Destiny itself is a remnant of what could have been and oh boy, 2014 me wouldve been so sad to hear. Great vid.
You just got a sub, this video was amazing. Please do more d1 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@Oryxthetakeenking thank you !
One thing ill never understand is why they dont just expand the worlds we have, instead of giving us new planets, give us new places on the planets we have, the cities of mars and venus, the literal continents of the earth unexplored, the moon having an entire other side to look at.
The langoliers got to it
I knew it, we all knew it, that door on Mars meant something
@@DarkCyberUK YES! Even back in D1 I knew that door was supposed to be something.
Great vid, any chance you could do more videos on the illusive Staten cut? Seems to be the missing piece in destiny that would’ve made its story and world a cohesive piece
I actually might have a video coming on that, would be a collaborative one. But I think we could make it work, where it is almost completely start to finish as well.
@@Solus_Destiny hey sorry if I spam replied, I wrote detailed post w/ sources for the vid, but it keeps getting deleted?
At some point in Destiny's lifespan, we stopped exploring the ancient ruins of humanity, and the mysteries of our past. It was one of the main things I loved about the world of Destiny. Not to say what we have isn't fun to play, I have an ungodly amount of playtime. I just think I liked the initial vision for Destiny a lot more than what we ended up with.
@@saithvenomdrone I cant agree with this more. I loved the “exploring the old world” vibe
I remember Bungie saying they have to rebuild the content from D1 from scratch for D2 and can't simply put it over. I'm no dev but I'm being honest: I don't believe it. There are so many unused things to find they didn't need to make. But still they are there.
VoG in D2 for example. You can explore more beyond the barriers and the question is: why is this even there?
Great video bro
nice ultra wide monitor, the game looks gorgeous on it
"What could've been"
Alot of stuff has been made alot of stuff has been vaulted, but so much other stuff got cut that makes you just wonder...how big this game could be
@@Your_Bro_Keith I have whooooolle folder of potential remnants of videos. Now it’s just deciding what’s next
@Solus_Destiny Titan! I always thought the arcology would've been the one thing they would try to bring back as a patrol zone in season deep like derelict leviathan for season haunted, but I guess not. still, some of the most serene areas imo
Very cool
@@NinjaPups hey! Thank you
Haven't finished the video fully yet, though I intend to, as it goes on, I can't help but feel sad, we lost potentially the greatest version of Destiny. I always imagined Destiny would have won the world over as Halo did, but bigger. Ever since the controvercies took place, It's felt like we were robbed of our Destiny....... to experience something amazing.
Destiny was still good, but i still feel like it could have been WAY better.
Here we goooooooo
lorewise this area supposed to be a remnants of "first place traveler (light) touched" - so, since the traveler makes unhabitable planets, uhh, habitable, this mars forest was a really special and sacred place, it's even called "the lost oasis" to underline that meaning
so, Bungie just decided to put it on Io and swapped the "first" with "last" (... place traveler touched") completely devaluating it's original tone and value for the game this way
IMO, it was a huge creative misdirection from them, this area should have stayed on Mars
The decision to not tell a linear story was a bad decision by Bungie in hindsight. It seemed cool before, but now it’s clear.
I’m kind of saddened we didn’t see any mars inside the traveler
makes you wonder if destiny 2 brought all of this content back along with unvaulting previous campaigns and content it would probably have a 800gb file size bare minimal.
Movie of the week this sh!t
@@ziggyzaug submitted :)
@@Solus_Destiny bet
Don’t wanna be negative but unfortunately can’t see it happening, for some reason new bungie seem to avoid talking about anything to do with pre release state and story of destiny:/ I’d love for them to just come out with it all, and they must have some of the old builds locked away deep in the bungie headquarters (I cope I cope) all of this stuff and what could of beens fascinates me more than the actual game at this point
Great vid Solus, it really makes me think of what if thoughts, about to story changing to what we got.
I'm been archiving Destiny, and if you need any help with map info, hit me up.
They really need to unsunset some of these planets.
With the rubicon wastes door at 5:50 ish, you can sword and garry fly so so far out towards the distance, I was going for about 5 or so minutes before I ran out of ammo, I was honestly expecting some form of a galaxy pools loadzone out there somewhere but I assume the loads and area are fully deleted from the game but hey maybe it’s just out there somewhere👀. Some of the tunnels in the ironline oob that are floating and are blocked off would’ve connected to a loadzone called SHIELD or something that would’ve then gone on to connect to one of the cut load zones
I know that tunnel your talking about and funnily enough one of the cut load names in my blender file is named SHIELD
Is that tunnel in game? I swore I saw it in an early destiny oob video
@@Solus_Destiny there are a few of them yes, if you do the wallbreach emote you can have a look, from the overview blender file screenshot I’ve got you can see these cut tunnels from above the lost oasis area and the pyramidion. I breached through a random tunnel to get to the remaining ones but maybe if you kinda look from above in blender then find which tunnel originally led to these cut zones maybe there is a load we can hit? the tunnels I found go nowhere but were obviously used for something as they remain out of bounds! They go 3 ways and there are two of them strangely you can pass through the left and right on each side iirc fine and just fall into the abyss but the others have a hard wall/death barrier I really need to hop on and do the no boundaries glitch and see if theres anything I can find. This could really be a galaxy pools situation regarding the rubicon door as I was able to sword fly for so far instead of dropping in behind the wastes door maybe somethings out there! God what I’d do to get my hands on a build with all of this included (if there even is one) I spoke to kellestial quite a while ago now and I think he was looking in some different areas using different oob tools etc but I don’t think it led to anything. Maybe it’s cope but I’m sure something’s gotta be out there!
@@Solus_Destiny possibly but I’m not sure, if we have the same blender image I could see from the videos you had a lot more than me I just had a base uncoloured screenshot from above that showed all the locations and tunnels. Another area that peaked my interest was legions keep. There’s that weird red structure in the corner that I could not get into for the life of me, and behind that fence the area looks promising and cool to explore and if I’m right it kinda lines up with an area behind the wastes but don’t hold me on that, I kinda theorised that the big tunnel where that huge drilling machine kinda thing was led somewhere but was blocked off with the drilling machine thing, always seemed a bit weird that it was there to me but could be nothing. And maybe legions keep also connected to that area, but hey just a theory and if you know the red structure/tunnel thing (if it’s even red) I’m talking about in the corner maybe it’s worth seeing if you can get inside. It’s weird if you look past the fence in keep too you can see a door/passage that comes out from the ground and looks like it’s connected to that tunnel/structure too in the corner. IIRC keep was only used for that vex structure thing infront of the tunnel I’m talking about seems to me originally there would’ve been a lot more and a much bigger area
Awesome video! 4:16 Is that the vex builder thing from the cancel vex void cutscene we got during season of undying?
I believe so, it looks almost identical, plus, in this version of the pyramidion, it was a playable space
@@Solus_Destiny Ah yeah. I was trying to figure out why that space would be there since vex void was going to take place on Mercury and totally forgot about the pyramidion. We go there in Curse of Osiris so that also makes sense although the story was probably very different
@@PorgChamp vex void was never gonna take place on Mercury. CoO was made entirely as a separate thing (this was discussed in an unfortunate article about harrassment at Bungie). Vex void was likely the taken king Mars dlc that got scrapped.
If u look up Peter Christensens blog u can see the original vex pyramidion cinematic, and its definitely on Mars. Also, all the other evidence for vex void suggests it took place in the pyramidion on Mars.
video was great
Remember when we sorta got Titan back then they took it away again?
Dude this video is awesome. What other maps are found in the files?
@@nitothefunkybunch6938 from what I know, just this in d1. D2 however has a ton of unused maps, named “missing string”
@@Solus_Destiny ah thats a shame, but it would make sense for them to reuse as many old maps as possible for the dlc
I need to hook up with you again and do some stuff OOB... Love the video, man! 👏👏🔥🔥
@@DarkKrazyman been a minute brother!! Hop in vc when you’re free

Can you do a video of the dreadnaught? I’ve always been curious of the hive architecture, especially the Mac cannon. It’s so out of place with the hive magic to see their technology
Not a bad idea, would be great for heresy when the dreadnaught comes back. I did also just record unused portico from kings fall
Cool clip ! Thx
Sick video!!! Was really well made
