Shocking news: Looks like Destiny

Send me to the moon if old

MS sent some engineers over it seems from the Bungie guy who was with Ryan

 

[Neuro]

Well what did you expect, they'd ditch a company which gave them their iconic status...

 

[RandyBobandy]

Looks great

lol so salt in this post.

 

[Silky]

Youtube compression lollllllllllllllllllllllllllll

Well what did you expect, they'd ditch a company which gave them their iconic status...

Yeah Bungie leaving Mac was Apple's biggest L.

 

[IAmRandom31]

Bungie stated they wanted parity between basically all versions already. So none of this is news really. They didn't want any one fanbase to have a different experience.

 

[Fracas]

Well what did you expect, they'd ditch a company which gave them their iconic status...

wat

 

[Neuro]

Beta is going to be running @900p according to the video...

 

[0ptimusPayne]

Really want to play this on my X1 too. Might double dip because Im a sucker. Its going to be annoying hitting the menu button for the ghost menu if thats how they map it. Find the touchpad alot easier to press while playing.

 

[Karl Hawk]

Well what did you expect, they'd ditch a company which gave them their iconic status...

LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Anyway, it looks great. What did anyone expect?

 

[T.O.P]

Oh look at the dislikes, who would've thought

 

[TrueGrime]

This is great news and I can't wait to get my hands on the beta.

Please let's not turn this into a console war / parity whine thread.

Edit: By parity I mean by calling the devs lazy just because it's 1080p for both XB1 and PS4. There might be other graphical differences that we don't know about.

 

[BruiserBear]

It's kind of sad listening to Ryan from IGN getting all excited about the "parity". As if it's to be applauded that Bungie isn't taking full advantage of the PS4 hardware.

To be clear, I'm not suggesting there should be massive differences, but there should be clear differences with the amount of extra juice the PS4 is offering.

 

[Zombie James]

Did I hear that right, confirming full parity? No thanks, Bungie.

 

[jem0208]

Beta is going to be running @900p according to the video...

We knew this already. Confirmed that it'll launch at 1080p though.


I find the like/dislike ratio amusing. The X1 hate is still strong.

 

[Jackbooted]

I love that the video just went up and a third of the votes are negative. Never change fanboys!

On topic, yeah it looks like Destiny.

 

[McDougles]

The very first post already ruined this.

 

[BY2K]

What are you talking about? Looks good to me.

 

[rokkerkory]

looks good?

 

[Volotaire]

What is this ridiculous comment supposed to mean?

 

[SerTapTap]

Beta is going to be running @900p according to the video...

Beta builds are old. They release older, super stable builds and apparently have 1080p working in a more recent but probably less stable dev build.

 

[T.O.P]

This is great news and I can't wait to get my hands on the beta.

Please let's not turn this into a console war / parity whine thread.

yeah, it's gaf dude, good luck with that

 

[The Librarian]

Looks good!

 

[DNAbro]

well looks pretty much exactly the same as the ps4 version.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Well what did you expect, they'd ditch a company which gave them their iconic status...

Remember when bungie games were Mac only?...just sayin'-

edit:looks great!

 

[Backfoggen]

Texture filtering took a hit. Framerate doesn't look too hot.

Edit: Upon reviewing PS4 footage the texture filtering looks pretty similar.

It has only been a year since many of these same people said X1's DRM policies were fine, the hardware difference was "negligable", can't tell between 1080p vs 720p vs 900p. Oh, and my personal favorite: Xbox 360 "won" because it gained the most market share percentage (???)

Give it time. One day it'll start to balance back out.

Do you know what confuses me? When parity is reached, people act like the PS4 is somehow gimped because of it. I wasn't aware the PS4 can go above 1080p

Parity means much, much, much more than just resolution.

Oh goodness. Oh. Goodness. It just struck me that this will be the narrative going forward. "Both versions are 1080p so what's the difference?" Sad what marketing dollars and mindshare within the game journalism circles can do to objective facts.

[Webby317]

Thank god we have some non fanboy war starting news. Can't wait to play the full game

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

I'm not going to pretend like I was ever super interested in this game and this has changed my outlook, but parity is bullshit. Consumers make intentional choices about hardware in part due to specifications. Artificial parity is a bit of an insult to a wide swath of the consumer base.

Graphics are more complicated than vertical resolution.

 

[mitchman]

Expect other visual downgrades on the xbox one compared to the PS4 if it's to maintain 1080p.

 

[Steverulez]

I thought the frame rate issue might have been the same thing as Digital Foundry noted in their analysis of the PS versions?

Unfortunately, the PS3 version suffers from the very same frame-pacing issues witnessed on PS4 - an uneven spread of frames that, while averaging at 30fps, causes a stutter sensation on screen.

 

[greenegt]

Looking great. Can't wait to finally try it out on Wednesday.

 

[Zombie James]

Did you watch the video?

 

[Portugeezer]

Was a nice video until they started spewing shit about parity, although that was Ryan from IGN, not the Bungie dude (although he went along with it "yes").

 

[RyudBoy]

That doesn't look like a solid 30fps to me.

 

[SlipperyMoose]

I played the PS4 beta and this looks the same to me.

 

[batman2million]

I hope it looks as good as the ps4 beta. I'm getting the X1 version b/c it's what my friends will be playing.

 

[statham]

bring on the beta!

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

Expect other visual downgrades on the xbox one compared to the PS4 if it's to maintain 1080p.

I guess it's fair to assume that Bungie are being very careful about claiming only resolution and frame rate parity, while other graphical features will differ based on hardware specs.

 

[Orayn]

Expect other visual downgrades on the xbox one compared to the PS4 if it's to maintain 1080p.

Yeah, there will probably be at least a few differences, even if they're mostly subtle stuff like AA quality, shadow resolution, AO precision, alpha effects, etc.

Did I hear that right, confirming full parity? No thanks, Bungie.

 

[Backfoggen]

I thought the frame rate issue might have been the same thing as Digital Foundry noted in their analysis of the PS versions?

It's more of a judder on PS4. Maybe it's my machine but it looks like regular drops to me in this footage.

 

[T.O.P]

Same here

Even if i'm starting to like the DS4 a bit more, but friend comes first

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Honestly, fuck parity. I don't mean in terms of graphics, but using the touchpad on the ps4. I want to be able to do things by swiping. Swipe down should instantly call my sparrow.

Not press touchpad. Then hold in square for 3 seconds.

Just a Swipe down.

Swipe up switches to heavy or maybe uses your power.

The way they have it now is some lazy type shit.

 

[Phat Michael]

Well what did you expect, they'd ditch a company which gave them their iconic status...

It's a 3 minute video and you posted 1 minute after it launched. Did you just come in here with no intention of discussion then run off?

 

[DudeWithNoName]

Thank god we have some non fanboy war starting news. Can't wait to play the full game

I really hope Bungie is quick about mailing out those X1 beta codes. I can hardly wait to try it out. I've purposely watched no videos of the game so far outside of E3.

 

[pixlexic]

The only thing I am afraid of is the 900p beta being smoother than both the ps4 beta and xbone final version.

 

[nelchaar]

I thought the frame rate issue might have been the same thing as Digital Foundry noted in their analysis of the PS versions?

That was judder I believe. From this video, it looks like there's frame dropping. Nothing that can't be fixed for the release I think.

 

[ironcreed]

Looks great and nice to see that it will be bumped up to 1080p for release. Cannot wait to play it for myself in the beta.

If they did this I would fully expect them to implement X1 voice commands.
