How does anything work in Destiny? (Destiny)

Deej, I see from the update that you don't yet have a damage system in Destiny. I was wondering if you have any game mechanics nailed down yet? For example, do you know if the game will be controlled by joypad or will it use kinect? I'm envisaging “Run forwards! Shoot! Collect loot!” as a possible control scheme.

Actually, Destiny will use old Dance Dance Revolution floormats to control movement. This feature has earned support and funding from DSHS under Obama's "Get Those Lazy Gamers Off Their F%#@ing A##es" initiative. It has also attracted attention from the EPA, as the new market for those floormats will remove some three hundred thousand of them from America's landfills.

Also, on XBox and XBone versions of the game, shooting will consist of pointing fingers at the TV screen and shouting "Pew pew pew!" loud enough for the Kinect to hear. The good news is, unless you're missing a hand, dual wielding is in the game.
