Support NeoGAF

[Swiggins]

Is the Destiny community on GAF worth looking into? I have plenty of people I play with on PS4, but could always use a few more.

The Destiny GAF community is legendary. It's the largest community on here if I'm remembering correctly.

Oh shit the 2nd Traveler was just an error when they made the new image? Pretty big fuck up lol, that had lots of people (including myself) really interested

60fps also wasn't the genre standard when those past games released though.

Every shooter is 60fps now except Destiny.

but most of those 60 fps games aren't as pretty as destiny is

 

[Orochinagis]

Cabal. Probably do have air support, but they're not going to give that away here.

I think the cabal just simply crash their ships to the city and swarm them in seconds like the russians guys in COD MW2.....oh.....so Cadey is our capitan price huh?

It's great. I've met some awesome people in DGAF. With how quickly we burned through OTs with vanilla Destiny for months on end, it's gonna be fun to see that hype again with D2.

 

[Smokey_Run]

Sony doesn't allow MP games to have different framerates between Base and Pro modes, correct? You're not getting 60fps if they want to push visuals cause the Base model will hold it back. Prepare for "parity across platform" statements.

 

[Obliterator]

I will say I hope Bungie did some EXTENSIVE changes to the Cabal, as to me they were probably the worst enemy race in Destiny 1. They were either big bullet sponges or you spent a lot of time just shooting at their feet. Also they probably had the most boring designs imo as well.

Supposedly Cabal are the main enemy force in Destiny 2 so here's hoping they've done a ton of work on them

 

[Captain Hero]

I think number 2 is representing a second traveler Coming to earth while the old one still healing.. i think there was another traveler in the great battle but somehow the traveler sacrificed him self but on the other side the other traveler healed fast than expected! Maybe, I'm just sayin

 

[Bold One]

I wouldn't count what BF1 is on base PS4 as actual 60 fps. Isn't it all over the place between like 40 and 60? And that's at 900p.

Considering BF1 had destruction, 60 players on huuuuge maps with stellar graphics with vehicles and planes, Bungie can't come out with any excuses.

Destiny GAF is the best GAF.

Well games with unlocked framerate like Battlefield are closer to 60 while on base they range from low 30s to 60 while running in 40s and 50s most of the time. The gap is already there.

But regardless, if base version is 30FPS then there is no way Pro version can ever be 60, even if the developers wanted it.

 

[Dongs Macabre]

Considering BF1 had destruction, 60 players on huuuuge maps with stellar graphics with vehicles and planes, Bungie can't come out with any excuses.

The Battlefield games are also always super optimized on PC. It's great when you can alt-tab out to browse GAF, so hopefully Bungie steps it up with the PC port.

Destiny has larger maps though. BF1's framerate is quite shit on base PS4 honestly, conquest mode (the actual mode with huge 64 player maps) runs even worse.

Destiny on the other hand feels extremely consistent controls wise because atleast until ROI's raid it never dipped.

The Battlefield games are also always super optimized on PC. It's great when you can alt-tab out to browse GAF, so hopefully Bungie steps it up with the PC port.

Is that a metric to decide if a game is optimised? Just use borderless window mode and you can instantly alt-tab any number of times you want in any game.

1380 hours for me.
400 Titan Exo Male 1107h
400 Warlock Exo Male 143h
400 Hunter Exo Male 128h

Best bang for your buck videogame since SOCOM II.

I hope they improve the character creator, add facial hair and the ability to customize hair in tower.

 

[GodVegeta]

My Pc whispers to me and he's keeping me hostage(Please send help) so i can't play games under 1440p 140Fps+ or he's going to publicly post my porn search history.

(Yes this is a joke dont call the cops)

 

[Dongs Macabre]

Is that a metric to decide if a game is optimised? Just use borderless window mode and you can alt-tab like 10 times in a minute in any game.

It is for me as my GPU is kinda old-ish so being able to tab out without my PC slowing down to a crawl is really useful. I always browse GAF while queuing in Overwatch. It's not really a dealbreaker, just nice to have. As long as I can run this at a good framerate I'll be mostly content.

I disagree with this. Cabal are the one race you truly need to fight differently. And Cabal without shields have not been bullet sponges for a very long time. They can be a pain because they can be difficult at times.

I would love a Cabal Raid.

Destiny is an open-world shooter. Comparing it to linear, scripted games like CoD or Battlefield doesn't make sense.

Like basically every open-world game on XB1/PS4, Destiny 2 will most likely be 30FPS at all times. At best I would hope for 60FPS in Crucible-only.....but I think for the sake of consistency they will probably keep the framerate the same in all modes.

Uh bf1 is linear for mp?
Edit: regardless they are massively different games and shouldn't be compare.

But it looks like the city is on fire. Who gets a haircut in the middle of a citywide fire?

Destiny's 6 V 6 MP does not have larger maps than BF1.

Destiny while a looker in of itself, is not the level technically with BF1, so pound for pound BF1, no matter its dips, was achieving way more with its bag of tricks than Destiny ever was.

It is my hope that the new engine helps Bungie

Here is something a poster linked in the last Destiny thread

Destiny at 60fps

 

[ZeoVGM]

Such as?

Destiny is a different game than Battlefield of Call of Duty. It is a fairly large open world rather than more linear areas.

it is also, for all intents and purposes, a "last gen" game. Comparing Destiny for PS4/XB1 to Battlefield 1 isn't fair at all.

Destiny 2, on the other hand, is being built from the ground up for PS4 and XB1. If it looks as good as Battlefield 1, there's no reason to expect it to be 60fps due to the type of game it is.

 

[Reckless Onion]

please have dedicated servers!!

 

[wesleyshark]

The lore for Destiny is incredible. Hope they do a better in actually telling it through story and gameplay this time around.

Agreed

 

[Jaguar Victory]

I remember they said it was possible for destiny 1 (ps4/xbone) but they wanted to keep parity with the 360/ps3 versions because of their old plans of cross platform.

If they don't get 60 this time around I'll be dissapointed.

They didn't even successfully hit 30fps though, especially in the crucible when supers are flying.

 

[Jblanks]

please have dedicated servers!!

This should be at the top of their priority list, seeing how laggy Destiny was.

Overwatch, COD, BF1, Halo 5, Titanfall 2, Siege, Doom, and just about every shooter runs at 60 now. It's not like some of those games don't also have large explorable areas or big set pieces.

Just an image on Twitter?

Are we going full minimalism now on announcements?

Blame the crowd that screams SPOILER every single time an ingame screenshot is shown.

Ugh yeah that's why I've been groaning since I heard cabal focus, they are easily the less interesting of all the enemy types. The whole shooting at their hands in order to get them to drop their shields just to shoot down their health bar shields....Very annoying and I'm glad we didn't get a whole raid of that in destiny 1

2420 hours on 1, I think booking a week off work is not enough, but it's all i can get away with.

 

[Feorax]

I cannot wait for this. Destiny is easily my game of the gen so far, warts and all.

I just hope the story is dealt with better in D2. So many fascinating aspects of the lore hidden behind silly grimoire cards. That Oryx's origins were essentially ignored outside of the grimoire to me is a massive disservice in that it could have been a good start in pushing through certain barriers.

 

[zewone]

Don't give a crap about the story.

Just give me guns and cool shit.

If there's one thing the majority of Destiny fans agree on, I always thought it was the Cabal suck

 

[Gator86]

Or I disagree with their premise entirely because it's little more than but "things are different!" Every game is different. It all depends on the priorities Bungie has. I'm just saying 60fps should be one of those like it is for every other dev making a 1st person shooter these days.

And don't play as well. Bungie will do what fits their game.

 

[ZeoVGM]

I think a lot of that hate comes from the fact that they're simply the most difficult race to fight.

The three other races are more straight forward. Shoot for the head, they die. And to be fair, that's still the case for non-shield Cabal.

Overwatch has neither large explorable areas nor big set pieces...
