Destiny gets eight new screenshots

Eight new screenshots of upcoming Bungie shooter Destiny were published overnight by the PlayStation Tumblr, showing off various aspects of the game from a load of nice camera angles.

There's shots of groups of players holding sci-fi guns, some nasty aliens to shoot, and there's even a cheeky glimpse at Bungie's distinctive floaty jumps, complete with the animation where the leaping player tucks in their legs. Which is awesome.

Despite being leaked, announced, unveiled, and then delayed, we still don't know too much about the actual mechanics behind Destiny--we know there's loot, that Bungie calls it a "shared-world shooter," and you can pick between three races and three classes. That and, of course, lots of shooting.

Bungie also says its multiplayer mode will be "more lethal" than Halo, that you're "going to fail" some missions, and that players won't be forced to play its story missions in co-op mode.

Destiny will be released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 on September 9. A Destiny beta will be coming in summer 2014.
