Impressions
While we saw gameplay footage of Destiny in action at this year's Gamescom, we didn't get hands-on time. The title was well-received and won several awards, but we'll have to reserve judgement. In the meantime check out the above mini-doc - the same as screened to the press behind closed doors - for insight into the development process.
