While I wouldn't boycott a game due to parity you're being disingenuous if you don't see the point some are making. Would it be okay to make the game at 360 level across all platforms? 99% of people here would be complaining. Heck the board goes nuts even when games are merely cross-gen.

BOOOOOOOOOOO!
They should at least allow people to get the codes early, the site is probably going to be impossible to access on the 17th...

You can unless you choose EU.

So if I choose US, will I still be able to download it using my UK PSN account? I'd rather keep it all on one account...

Thanks.
I think I'll just wait then. I guess I can live with missing a day of the beta if the site does get hammered...
You're clearly crazy. I need at least 100% more pixels in my version of the game than everyone else's or there is literally no possible way I can enjoy it. I am forced to take a stand against the vile atrocity that is parity as it will quite literally ruin gaming forever. Gameplay is unimportant, pixels are the only thing necessary.

More seriously, I can't believe this thread is based off of GameDVR footage. It's a nice little feature but the clips can run like crap even if the game is perfectly solid.
We should definitely wait until the beta before making any proper comparisons.
Best post in the thread. Let's wait and see what Digital Foundry have to offer. It won't be long before all is revealed. Keep your powder dry.

i dont know what it is with the upload studio - sometimes it just doesnt play well at ALL - like, pixelation, frame rate chugs etc - its often not like that in the game at all. Game looks cool.

The Alpha you mean? Unless you've played the Beta already?
DF did an Alpha analysis that showed the game holding a solid 30FPS through just about everything. The only issue was a bug that was causing duplicated frames. A bug that will hopefully be fixed.
Not sure where this choppy is coming from.

Does anyone know how long the beta will last? I'm going to the US on vacation on July 18th for 3 weeks (yey) but wont have access to my XB1 (boo) and not sure how my wife would take to me packing my console...
3 weeks from July 18th? Sorry bud...

Dammit. I'm 1/2 tempted to pre order it again and buy a PS4 while I'm out there, I've been playing that that idea...
EDIT: ANNND DONE. Got PS4 Destiny Beta Code (US Market).
Never mind, I found it.

I had 2 keys, one gave me two choices (went for XB1 andX360 Global) and when I redeemed the 2nd code I only got one choice (I went for PS4 US with that one).

Two small clips and we are already at each-others's throats. How about we wait till clearer and longer demos are shown.
What happens if you cancel your pre-order though?

Like I said before time and time again and it's something MS is completely quiet over and a lot of people on here don't realise. MS may reach parity at times with resolution at 1080p or the same on both platforms.
HOWEVER what they fail to mention on purpose and keep quiet about is all the other differences. More framerate drops (Sniper 3, Watch Dogs), more tearing, 30fps frame rates vs 60fps (tomb raider), complete lighting features missing (watch dogs).
Games may run at 1080p on xbone but it comes at a cost in performance in other areas. MS has spinned the whole resolution debate in a way where it makes people think that's the only difference. The Xbone can't have both tea and cake as the hardware isn't as powerful . Sure it can run games at 1080p but then you get performance and/or complete graphical effects missing

It's because "the community" made 1080p the battleground for now, so it's where MS are being forced to fight.
Wasn't there some exec quote talking about the tradeoff between resolution and "pixel quality" a while back that got lampooned? Damned either way.

It felt choppy at times when I Played it and others too because I remember conversations about the frame rate in the alpha thread so eh dunno what to tell you.
Smh.

I doubt that the Beta on the Xbox One will be in 1080p. Bungie said that they where going to use the June SDK update to get the game on 1080p. Doing that within one month and implementing that in a branched of beta build seems like a short time.
Also the GameDVR isn't exactly a great way to use for comparisons. The compression is way to high for that.

Jup. 1080p is the only measurement of graphics for some.
Dude....
I enjoyed the alpha, although it felt at first a little slow but its a good game with its own rythm.
it was smooth, with the odd hiccup here and there but it didnt give me the impression that hiccups were due to heavy loads happening at that time.
more importantly, I dont remember even one case where framerate dropped when it was important to be steady (ie firefights) and I played the alpha for who knows how manyhours days 
hopefully xbone version is good enough, as if its not broken I'd probably get the full version there.

They are using the extra horsepower though, the PS4 version will have a better framerate and better/extra effects like AO compared to the XB1.
That is the power difference between the consoles. You need to get it out of your head that your PS4 is packing dual Titans and can deliver a generational leap over the XB1.

Does anyone want to share one of their xbox one codes?

Pre order it on amazon.com or amazon.co.uk, you ll get a code and can cancel your pre order.
No, there is a hard drop in frames in that footage that wasn't seen on PS4 at any point during the alpha.
You're probably right.

Not sure why but I can't view the video in Chrome or IE even after making an account.

No, you're not crazy. One of the best posts in this thread. It's just so baffling to see some people get so worked up around this stuff. We're all gamers at the end of the day so enjoy it no matter where you're playing.
My first reactions to the alpha were -
1 - nice art style but graphically unimpressive, this should have been 60fps
2 - god damn, they can't even maintain 30 fps
That reaction was shared by many initially in the Alpha thread because the game had framerate issues. It wasn't until the DF analysis that it was shown to have a steady framerate, but the smoothness was being affected by a bug/glitch that was causing frames to repeat, which make the game appear to be stuttering.

Pre ordered waaay back in October of last year(Amazon), i haven't gotten shit.
I wouldn't call that choppy. What's seen in the XB1 footage looks to be the frame-rate dropping. Sure, it could be something with the Xbox One Clips causing it, but never have I seen a game with no frame-rate drops have them just because it was recorded with the Xbox.
And a big LOL at #1.

Speak to customer service, the same thing happened to me. They said they sent me a code, I said I never received it and they posted the code they said they'd sent me in chat and it worked.
Cool, i'll do that.
I miss the PS2 days when the system was very weak compared to the Xbox and Gamecube, but people didn't care. It was all about the games. Yeah, the PS4 is a bit more powerful then the Xbone, but its not as big of a gap as people make it out to be.
No, it wasn't so weak in comparison and, not, the gap between Ps4 and Xbone is bigger than you may think.
I totally agree with this!
I hope Microsoft doesn't start trying to push developers to try for 1080p for the sake of being able to claim it. I don't want to deal with the other sacrifices that would have to be made like frame drops, screen tearing and other graphical settings missing. I'm perfectly fine with 900p as long as the framerate is smooth and there is vsync engaged. I hope it doesn't become their new initiative to calm the internet superfans because that would be disappointing.
I still made a point to get the best version of all multiplatform games that gen, which was usually the Xbox version.
People with more than one console want to know which version of a game to get, is that a problem? is it not "all about the games" to want to have the best version?
Yeah but fanboys want 1080p, it's so important for them, they don't care about the rest of the game, they just want 1080p. But i'm agree with you, 900p it's perfectly fine. I don't want 1080p with framedrops, tearing and clipping.

Destiny 2 is going to be a looker. Destiny is being held back by ps360 big time. The alpha had nothing on graphically speaking.
Totally agree with this.
