I remember they had difficulty even hitting 1080p on Xbone before MS engineers went there to help them out

The first game ran at a locked 30 on last gen consoles. You can't tell me a sequel to a cross gen game can't target 30fps. And if we're to believe Destiny 2 is still running on a version of Halo's engine, there's even less of an excuse since 343 was able to pull off a game that ran at 60 and looked arguably better than Destiny visually. This is a poor comparison, but the fact remains 60fps should have been the target regardless of graphic sacrifices.
freesync maybe, 60 fps no.
with scorpio the general rule is you will get resolution bump more often than a doubling of framerate.
It's true, they can't just flick a switch to 60fps, the game has to be designed with it in mind rather than the brute force PC way and Bungie decided not to. Time, content creation probably doesn't help them but same goes for other devs. History shows, Bungie are messy, 60fps was probably never on the cards because they had other things to deal with.

God fucking damn it.
I dsperately wanted 60fps on at least PS4 Pro and Scorpio.
...and before any idiots try and tell me that couldn't happen because of "parity" or some dumb shit, I'll remind you that Pro players already have an advantage with the higher resolution. I'll also remind you that games like Dark Souls III offer Pro players the option of playing with an unlocked frame rate. Even in PvP. There's no fucking rule that says Pro support can't include a higher frame rate.

I agree voting with your wallet but consoles are doing 60fps well, maybe not 3rd person action games and iffy Battlefield games all over the place but there is solid 60fps games.

Must be the same garbage engine then since they don't have to accommodate for ps360 no more.

Absolutely horrible, I hope that ain't true.

After playing Overwatch at 144hz I'm not sure if I could play Destiny 2 at anything less.
Basically, especially considering you have these mid-gen upgrades to account for. It would have been a great, scalable solution for all the consoles. Bungie has been on the struggle bus for tech since early D1 and that doesn't seem to have changed much.

This is the absolute worst possible news. Puts a bit of a damper on all the greatness.
Sure, Destiny still plays great at 30fps... but come oooooon.

Crucible confirmed worthless again... what a waste.
In limited scenarios, or in game engines designed from the ground up to provide 60hz on consoles.
AFAIK they're still using the same engine as Destiny 1. Hopefully they have fixed their content production pipelines at least. We'll find out how scalable their engine is when benchmarking it on various configurations of PC.

I'll definitely be getting it on PC now. This is a huge bummer for console players.
I've got well over 100 games between Xbox One and PS4 and the majority of them as well as all the first person shooters are 60fps so "you should build a PC if you care about 60fps" is a load of nonsense.
I don't know, I assume it's the same engine on PC?

I think Scorpio may have the best chance of being 60 or having a 60 option as Sony doesn't seem to want there to be a difference.

I know I shouldn't have, but I was really hoping for characters to carry over between pc and ps4, lol.
No disagreement there. However, if you truly care about 60fps across the board or in majority of your titles, then PC is the only viable solution imo. There are some console devs that target 60fps and deliver a rock solid fps every time. And I freaking love those devs for it. Just like I love devs that target a rock solid 30fps game with insane bells & whistles. You put out a quality product, I'll be there.
I'm guessing it's going to just be capped at 30 on consoles. I can't imagine them going out of their way for Scorpio at all because why? It's going to have the smallest population by an incredible margin.

Going to rebind that character menu button on launch, everything else looks good.

You are comparing Dark Souls with a FPS? Really?

I'd imagine it'd be a good selling point for ms to actually push to get those updates when possible, but your post is more likely.

no one posted his later tweets. Sounds like he doesn't even know.
"Trying to 100% confirm console 30 fps. Hold please."
here
"Console stations are on 4K displays. Might be the reason for the 30 fps feel."
here
"Watched a little more. PC smashes console, as expected. No official info on console framerate. Capture devices are set to 1080p60"
and here
"But it looks like 30ish fps on console. You won't see an official statement for a while."

I'm saying there's no rule that says they can't do it. There are plenty of examples of games that offer Pro owners the option of playing at 60fps rather than 30. Some of them have PvP.
In these discussion people often quote that leaked document prior to the Pro reveal that has since been disproven. Pro could run at higher frame rate if the developers made it a priority. It seems that Bungie didn't. That fucking sucks.

1440p/144 fps is gonna be so nice after so many hours of 30 in destiny 1.
This is why I'm kinda glad characters don't carry over.

Um... Destiny's playerbase now is nearly evenly split between PlayStation and Xbox.

If you have a decent PC, then yes it is wrong. Only blizzard game that has ever been completely fucked by hackers in my experience was d3 on ps4. Overwatch, d3, hearthstone don't have hacking problems on PC.
