So, the Xbox One Game DVR is pretty shitty.
You have to manually start clips. You can't just have everything constantly recording.
Your clips can be at most 5 min long.
I'm disappointed that CoD removed theater mode. I will never use the Game DVR to record clips.
I really hope Bungie doesn't rely on the consoles' internal DVRs for recording games in Destiny.
I want a full theater mode that doesn't record what's on screen, but tracks game objects and events like they did in Halo.

You don't have to manually start it at all; it automatically records the last 5 minutes of footage and all you do is say "Xbox, go to game DVR" and select "stop clip" or whatever the actual wording is. Then you save it and can edit later. How is that bad? And five minute clips are really pretty long if you consider it. Most montages are only going to take a few seconds worth of gameplay which even the "Xbox, record that" option will catch. As for longer videos, stick to your Elgato or whatever other game DVR you use. Anyway, as for having a theatre mode, I'm not sure it will really have a place except for in multiplayer matches, which aren't the focus in Destiny, so likelihood is that there won't even be a theatre mode.
