Destiny
For those that have both a PlayStation 4 and a Vita, the ability to play remotely on the small screen is a neat feature. It doesn’t work well with every game, though. But Bungie has taken some extra steps to entice you to give it Destiny a try on the small screen.
In a new video, you can see the game in action as well as some of the control tweaks that make it usable. Of note, there are no back-touch functions, meaning you’re free to hold your Vita however you like.
I had a chance to try this out during the beta, and found it a better fit for single and cooperative play than for competitive matches. I love the placement of the front screen functions, as they end up working like soft buttons. Putting the sprint on the D-pad (down) works really well, too.
Destiny is out on September 9 on Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 3. For more, check out our preparation guide to get yourself ready.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
