Destiny 2 Could Run At 60FPS On Console, But Here's Why Bungie Won't Do It

This is a bit of a lie. The XBOX One X could run Destiny 2 at 60fps without turning down a single setting as long as the game was at 1080p. If you were playing at 4k it would most likely have to do something similar to what the PS4 pro is doing, but might still run with no issues. My friend that works for Bungie tells me that they are keeping the PS4 and XX at almost the same because of their partnership with Sony on the Destiny franchise. So basically because Sony shelled out cash to get the exclusive content, early releases etc. they want to keep them happy and not help sell more copies for MS. Essentially they don't want to give anyone a single reason to pick Xbox over PS

I have Destiny 2 for both my PS4 and PC.

PC just ruined the PS4 version for me, it's basically unplayable now. I can't believe I used to play this shit so much (Destiny 1). It's really, really terrible.

And what's this shit about X and Pro not being able to run it at 60? I bought my PC in 2012 and run this at 1080p60 maxed. What the hell.

Do yourselves a favor; don't try this game on PC, you won't be able to go back to your shitty console version, like what happened to me :(

30, 60, 4K, CPU, GPU, PRO, Scorpio...who the eff cares!

Let's just see if the game is fun. If it is, then play it and enjoy life and stop getting wrapped up in all this petty garbage.

P.S. Thank you, Bungie, for creating a really cool gaming world for us to swashbuckle around in!

All I read here is: we suck at programmation on consoles, we are not able to do what others can do, so go buy a computer. Way to go bungie

A lot of uninformed people in the comments I see...

Strange that 4K was a priority for a game like Destiny (first-person shooter). This is like COD prioritizing 4K over 60 FPS. Destiny has a nice aesthetic and all, but delivering a shooter in this day and age at 30 FPS doesn't make any sense. I don't care how little you care about graphics, in fact, the less you care the dumber a decision this sacrifice to hit 4K should look to you. As far as the PCMR is concerned I'm sure a good number of people are going to opt for 2K resolutions at higher refresh rates, because it's a FPS. Wtf Bungie?

30 FPS is fine for PvE but then when you go into PvP graphics setting should be optimized to allow 60 otherwise it's not a good pvp fps.

Is it just me who would prefer a little downgrade in the graphics to have a better FPS? They talk about monster quantity and smaller space, but having less graphic power wouldn't do the trick?

Im thinking.. its 2017 already for fu*ks sake, if they have a CHOICE, like he said, couldnt they just make a pool and ask the consumers what they want?

Glad there are consoles.They are stopping PC development.So I can buy a new PC every 5 or 6 years but not before.I still am surprised I still can play games at ultra settings after 2.5 years.Normally I should select normal or high detail but ultra.So destiny could run 60.Hahah who cares,consoles you are doing your job already.You are saving me a lot of money.Thank you thank you thank you. :D :D

So instead of telling the truth they just Lie. The truth is Microsoft and Sony won't allow it as it has to be a level playing field across the older consoles online. As the PC is not up against the consoles online it can run uncompromised.

It would just be good if these devs told the truth instead of all this crap they come up with.

are they saying that the XB1X is not the "super" console that XBOX fanboys make it out to be?

"Could we make a Destiny game that ran at 60 FPS? Yes," Noseworthy said in the latest issue of Edge magazine, as reported by Wccftech. "But the space would be smaller, it would be less cooperative, and there'd be fewer monsters to shoot. That's not the game we want to make."

Looks like the same game to me, i'm not sure. Does kinda suck being so low in FPS though. Xbox One and Ps4 i can see why the 30 FPS being old hardware, but the Xbox One X and PS4 Pro, That's only because they share game servers with the old hardware right?

If the Ps4 Pro and Xbox One x had their own servers, you should see 60 fps no reason not too. It's not like you have to play at 4k, shoot, if those consoles can do 4k at 30 fps you should be able to play at 120 fps at 1080p.

I'm no expert but I don't believe the 1X is unable to run D2 at 1080p60. It's running it at 4K 30 isn't it?

Bungie are being held back by the parity bullshit?✌️

LOL hear come the graphics snobs whining and complaining about how the game should but doesn't perform. To all you spoiled gamers out there, just remember Super Mario Bros, Sonic, Chrono Trigger, FF7, Legend of Zelda. These games are regarded as some of the best games ever made. Not one of you will complain about the graphics. Stop being asshats and try to enjoy the product that dozens of people spent countless hrs to create for you, the uptight consumer. Be content with a product that is far superior than something that was made a measly 5 years ago. Grow the **** up and enjoy the age we live in instead of complaining all the time and taking it for granted. Pussies.

Ok so if it's because there's too many enemies in screen then why not make it 60fps for multiplayer PvP only? I mean call of duty and star wars and battlefield can do it? Is Destiny more graphically advanced than those games? Why not just keep Destiny at 1080p and not bump it to this more demanding 4k or checkerboard? Surely if you keep it at 1080p you can hit 60fps yes or no? And if not and it truly is all the enemies on screen or whatever they said then why not just make it 60fps in multiplayer?

So basically they cant do it,

If they can make the game 30fps @4k they are lying about being able to make just as good of a game at 60fps. 900p would be fine.
