If you remember back to the first ever live action trailer for Destiny, then you'll probably recall that it was a bit cringe-worthy - but it was still well done and quite entertaining. As expected, the same is true of The Taken King's live action clip, which features the same three Guardians.
However, we reckon that both have been outdone by the Japanese TV spot, which we reported on earlier today. Unlike the semi-serious tones found here, the ad from Japan concentrates on comedy, and it's a breath of fresh air because of it - especially when we're so used to seeing marketing videos stick to the same old cinematic tropes.
Like was say, though, this one isn't bad, so still be sure to give it a watch and let us know what you make of it in the comments section below.

Its not that bad but with that song? urgh!
I think what gets me most about these trailers is that it doesn't capture what Destiny is about at all. It's not a game that tries to be funny, for starters, and it certainly doesn't play like what's going on in the video.
But marketing, innit.
@ShogunRok But can you imagine if any game played like they show in the trailers? Sick gun flips, over-the-shoulder no look kill shots, smashing enemies out of the way with your back? That'd be insane! And...probably kinda hard to control.
@sajoey I mean, Destiny is a very, very slick shooter, but it's not that slick. But yeah, kinda wish it was!
@ShogunRok that would be the coolest. Like that shooter from VGHS.
@ShogunRok The COD ones were the same. It's a bit annoying but they are obviously convinced it will sell. Kinda think if it was left up to Bungie we'd get some cool Halo style adverts which were always pretty good as I recall.
Not that advertising works on me, anyway.
I fancy a Red Bull..
@ShogunRok exactly! Doesn't capture what destiny is about at all. Japanese one is way better...
I like this one better. Japanese one was funny. This one's just cool.
I heard the Led Zeppelin track on TV, and then threw-up in my mouth once I saw what it was selling.
Sometimes I hate this industry.
Least representative trailer ever
All a out killing dragons this year aint it
