Destiny PlayStation 4 Official Announcement-1 0927

Another shot similar to one already seen in the ViDoc, with what appears to be ship wreckage in the background venting blue plasma.

The circular wreckage that frames the shot is very reminiscent of the setting of Halo 3's announcement trailer, where the Master Chief walks slowly into the frame and peers over a cliff edge onto the portal that leads to the Ark.

From comparing to the concept art shots we've already seen, this should be from the Exclusion Zone on Mars. Seeing it in-engine at least gives us an idea that Destiny is more than a huge collection of concept art, but has some locations that are already in the game.

Here we can so both characters ahead of the player open fire on something around the corner that cannot be seen. None of the shots seem to land; in the next frame, they seem to harmlessly bounce off the floor.

It's hard not to look at the geometry and color scheme of this area and not be reminded of the Covenant hangar bays from Halo 1.

Here we can see the actual muzzle flash from the weapon. Both characters seem to be carrying rifles, but of different types.

In the background we can see things that looks like chrysalis of some sort, hanging from the ceiling. They're visible in many shots during this short trailer.
