Even though the PC version of Destiny 2 will be delayed, it appears that this particular version will be the definitive version of Bungie’s upcoming title. And that’s because apart from a FOV slider, a proper mouse+keyboard control scheme and multiple graphics settings, this version may be the only one that will be running at 60fps.
As Bungie has already claimed, the PC version of Destiny 2 will feature an uncapped framerate. On the other hand, both PS4 and Xbox One versions will be locked at 30fps. And if you thought that the PS4 Pro version would offer a performance mode with 60fps at 1080p… well… guess again.
Bungie’s Luke Smith told IGN that even PS4Pro’s CPU is unable to offer a stable 60fps in Destiny 2.
“I mean, I’m going to wade into this, and you can flesh it out. The console, the PS4 Pro is super powerful, but it couldn’t run our game at 60. Our game’s this rich physics simulation where collision of players, networking, etc, and like, it wouldn’t run… [there’s] not enough horsepower there.”
The only console that may run Destiny 2 with 60fps is Microsoft’s Xbox Scorpio. We do know that Xbox Scorpio will come with a better CPU and a more powerful GPU than Xbox One (and PS4Pro), so it remains to be seen whether Bungie will be able to make its title run with more than 30fps.
However, and since there is a marketing deal with Sony, we wouldn’t be surprised if Destiny 2 is locked at 30fps even on Microsoft’s upcoming console. Bungie has claimed that it cannot provide information for the Xbox Scorpio version before the presentation of Microsoft at E3 2017.
As such, the PC platform may be the only one that will offer a smooth 60fps experience, though we’ll have to wait until Microsoft’s E3 conference and see whether Xbox Scorpio will offer a 60fps/1080p option or just a 4K option.

Destiny 1 was a bad game and I have no doubt this turd will follow in its footsteps. That said, the console wars erupting from this have been f*cking hilarious. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2c8973bfdd88fd6c2821c46657df4af4ef2eff009c30d90a96dafdf40523efb7.jpg
I like that mustard stain.
The console wars will erupt so badly if the new Xbox will run the game at 60FPS. Neogaf will explode!!
And they’ll erupt if the new Xbox WON’T runt it at 60 fps as well.
thats why sony is making sure that bungie is to screw over xbox scorpio gamers buy having them make it 30fps across the board.
not going to get it any way with a year wait for content.
xbox scorpio with 500$ you can play with 4k and 60 fps,with a pc you need 1500$ and maybe is a bad port ROFL!

He’s an admitted troll. Just block him. He’s just a sad, sad individual that posts bait comments in the desperate hope that someone ANYONE will talk to him.
Checked Digital Foundry’s 4K on a budget and now saw your idiotic post…. Yep, stupid is still a big thing for you. Not to mention that if someone already has a computer from a previous generation, it is only needed an upgrade and get a whole lot more for a whole lot less than buying a new console every 3 years.
As for bad port, you may be right…. not for peasant standards, but for us, the gamers. The worst port in recent history was Batman Arkham Knight, today it runs extremely well on PC and cost me $14. On consoles? It is still crap, peasants just don’t know better.
Edit: Amend to the 4K/60FPS, it was not the title. Although he got Crysis 2 to 60 FPS, that was not the title of the video.

To be fair, Xbox Scorpio is going to be akin the Second Coming of Christ. After all, it’s not as if it’s going the feature the same crappy CPU from Xbone, PS4 and PS4 Pro.
Oh wait, it is! Microsoft done goofed again and the console’s not even out yet, lol!
I think now they’re just doing it on purpose now, since they’ve decided to go with the faster refresh cycles. I’m betting Sony is planning already planning for a PS4 Pro “+” for either 2018 or 2019, with Microsoft’s Xbox “The One Scorpio to Rule Them All” scheduled for 2019 or 2020.
If it was pretty much any other company than Microsoft then I’d love to see Sony being humbled by a competitor’s far superior console. Because it’s Microsoft I couldn’t care less.
If Scorpio commercially fails relative to Microsoft’s expectations then we might in consequence be ‘blessed’ with them focusing more on PC gaming with their GFWL 2.0, sorry, UWP and ithe abysmal Windows 10 Store. Oh joy!
F*cking Ninturdo.
I’ll cut Nintendo some slack relative to Sony and Microsoft even though I’ve no intention of buying the laughably poor Switch.
Piece of sh*t was launched a year early. I’ll leave it at that, before I start ranting about how cheap those motherf*ckers got with the internal storage, IN A DAY & AGE WHERE A 500GB SSD PURCHASED BY A CONSUMER COSTS LESS THAN $200.
BY A F*CKING CONSUMER.
Indeed. Rushed to market with an unfinished OS and replete with a litany of hardware design flaws. Even just six months or so delay would presumably have given them time to,
– sort those things out
– have some decent games ready that aren’t from Wii U
– use the latest Tegra chip instead of the 2 year old one they’ve gimped it with
“Dead Pixels are a feature, so don’t ask for a refund, b*tch, because you’re not getting one!”
/facepalm.
They have their diminishing fanboy army to defend them for now but expect to see Switch sales drop off a cliff in the not too distant future. Regardless of the initial sales flurry the same alarm bells from the Wii U debacle are already ringing.
Definitely. I wouldn’t be surprised if they relaunched the f*cking thing a year or so after its original launch, even, in order to shake off the bad reputation.
Yep. Given that Nintendo have released hardware revisions of pretty much every portable console they’ve ever made (Virtual Boy disaster excepted) then it’s a near certainty that Switch will follow suit.
Ninturdo Switch XXL? Now with an extra 28GBs of storage capacity? 😀
I am still shocked that Sony, of all people, didn’t upgrade their Blu-Ray player, whereas Microsoft, the DVD drive pr*cks that were holding us back on that front for how-many-f*cking-years, have actually gone for the whole 4K player thing.
“Irrespective of the awful DRM for movies, bluray should’ve taken off on PC IMO for storage”
Yeah, but by that point Hard Drives were already outstripping discs by a sizeable margin in terms of storage capacity, so most people just never bothered. Especially since Blu-Rays, much like CDs before them are even today more often used for one-time burning, rather than repeated uses, not to mention the scratching etc.
“if they had gone bluray it would’ve been brutal for installing.”
True. Though I’d also say it would have forced them through sheer community pressure & nothing but, to shape up by either adding external storage, or more internal storage.
who was it? dagoat or walikor?
Wally The Moron, otherwise known as He Whom Believeth In The Console Gods.
Looks like he’s gone now but he will probably resurrect under a new name.
More like 120fps mate. And holodeck AR for you. Along with some strong acid to keep your hallucination on the march.
Xbox Scorpio 4K @ 60 FPS with lowest possible quality settings? Then what’s the point in 4K at all?
Aren’t there any console gaming sites left for you to post on? I’ve heard that console gaming is dying. That’s too bad. We will be glad to teach you how to build a gaming PC if you ask nicely and then you can have a decent gaming experience for a change : )
It’s pretty damn obvious Scorpio won’t be running at 60. Outside of the Sony marketing deal mentioned in the article, the Scorpio’s CPU is only 200MHz faster than the Pro’s (2.3GHz vs 2.1GHz respectively). Not to mention that they’d have to have the base XB1 running at 30 in competitive multiplayer, so they’re not gonna double that just for Scorpio users. Ah well, whether or not you care about this game, use it as a means of acquiring peasant tears.
Consoles still can’t put out 1080p at 60fps? PS4 “Pro”. Pro what? lol
And 1080p/60fps is still a joke. 4k/60fps ought to be doable with a 1080Ti easy. The game doesn’t look that good.
PS4 Pro is ‘Pro’
…by PS4 standards!
Dude, it has like physics, players colliding and network stuff! Totally next gen stuff. We’re gonna need the cloud for this.
My bowel movements are physics objects, and they’re low-poly!
Ok i`m happy that D2 will run 60fps on PC but thats still Bull**it. If they cant give 60fps on consoles then wtf optimisation they will give on PC?? 60fps but with corei7 kaby lake or Ryzen 7 on board?
.
far cry 4 was 30 on consoles but 60 on my pc with old amd fx 6300, different engine I know, but there are plenty of examples what you don’t need that expensive of a cpu to surpass console
Engine is not so diffrent. Still it was made on old and new consoles. Also first 2 years for next gen wasnt perfect. Developers had to desing and optimize engines to shift workload on GPU. That gave us Horizon ZD and upcoming GoW looks fantastic too.
Also D2 realy doesnt look so demanding in terms of colision detection. Warframe can handle it with 8 players online and mass of enemies.
No, sh*t. What a f*cking surprise.
“the PS4 Pro is super powerful, but it couldn’t run our game at 60”
Comedy gold!
Well.. Duh…..
BUT MY RYZEN 1700 WILL RUN IT 60+ ON MAX SETTINGS 1440P!
