Japan Gets The ‘Destiny: The Taken King’ Live Action Trailer We All Want!

by Shane O'HareSeptember 11, 2015

Yesterday we shared with you the live action trailer for the up coming Destiny expansion The Taken King. I still stand by my critique of the trailer. Bad dialogue and inappropriate music. (We go into it at length on the Geekscape Games Podcast). Well it looks like we may have gotten the live action trailer we wanted, but only if you’re in Japan.

The video stars popular Japanese actor Ryo Katsuji, who is apparently a pretty big fan of Destiny. If you can read moonspeak, check out the Japanese Playstation/Destiny page for a little behind the scenes interview with Ryo.

As I was watching the Japanese version I was totally enamored with it, but on reflection I’m not totally sure. I may just be looking at it with weaboo eyes; who knows if this is on the same level of cringe as the English live action trailers.

Regardless, I like this one WAY more. Stay weird Japan. Stay weird.

‘Destiny: The Taken King’ Just Got This Snazzy Live Action Launch Trailer

by Shane O'HareSeptember 10, 2015

With the largest expansion to Destiny just FIVE days away, Bungie and Activision have just dished out this brand new live action launch trailer for The Taken King. Check it out!

The Taken King plans to bring a GIANT amount of content and story to the game, and extra story is what Destiny desperately needs. The expansion was preempted by a big ole’ update this week introducing the new core changes to the game, as well as adding Nolan North’s performance as your Ghost sidekick.

There isn’t much to say about the trailer. I PERSONALLY feel it falls a tad short, especially considering some of the AMAZING live action trailers that have come out of Halo. I blame Activision, the music (much like the Led Zeppelin from the previous live action trailer) just doesn’t fit the Destiny universe. This all makes a lot of sense considering what was learned during the Marty O’Donnell lawsuit.

Destiny: The Taken King hit’s store shelves next Tuesday, September 15th and is available on all platforms where you can find Destiny!
