Trigger Beauty

It’s the little things that make Destiny such a unique and and entertaining shooter.

I’ve always been a sucker for a good montage and that’s why I’m sharing this awesome one made by XeroPain. It has great clips, good editng, and most importantly it’s fun. Impressively enough, it looks like the whole montage was created using the PS4 sharing feature. [yframe url=’http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zi3m399BosY’] Featured image courtesy of Ztemde

New Destiny B-Roll Footage

A new video of predominantly B-Roll gameplay has surfaced on the NeoGaf forums; thanks to MoreConsole for re-uploading it to his channel.
