Latest Destiny trailer kicks ass in more ways than one

Destiny is coming, quickly. With less than three weeks before Bungie and Activision releases their flagship title, and perhaps one of the most eagerly anticipated titles in gaming history, there’s a new gameplay trailer lighting up YouTube’s servers.

Who knew post-apocalyptic scenes seem so inviting? Showcased in 1080p, the game will be available for current-gen and legacy Microsoft and Sony consoles, although the latter will be scaled down to 720p.

The trailer itself highlights the multiplayer open-world shooter landscapes that Bungie and Activision spent around US$500-million developing. And while much will change from the current beta to the final product, the game has set records for “over 4.6 million” beta testers and takes the honours of the most pre-ordered new title of recent time.

Protecting the last human city in the Solar System has never quite looked this good. Have a look at the trailer below, and note, it’s best viewed at full HD.
