Activision boldly lying about Destiny's underlying technology
Please read this article and decide for yourselves what to make of this. TLDR: Destiny is not being held back in any way by that fact that it's released on Xbox 360/PS3. Current Destiny is the fully envisioned product.
We know that's not true partly because the Vault storage issue has already created a technical limitation for old consoles.

I love Destiny, and I almost feel bad for Bungie because I'm sure the vision for Destiny was much grander than what has been published. But what Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg says in this article really makes me reconsider whether I would buy the next installment of Destiny 2, assuming its also released on last-gen consoles. I didn't buy an Xbox One so I could play the same games I could on my old Xbox 360. It's been years since current-gen consoles launched and AAA titles should have moved on completely by now. How long will we have to play a downgraded game on current-gen consoles, and this goes for Xbox and PlayStation?
Thankfully E3 showed us that Activision will have to earn our money, with lots of exciting AAA titles coming in the next 2 years.
Okay rant over. Happy Xursday!

On the ride along with DoD they went in to great detail about how much they were held behind by last Gen. They said they had to cut out 80% to 85% of the Cosmosrome because the last gen consoles couldn't handle it. They also said that last gen is the reason for alot of the windy hallways. They were put in so that less objects would be on screen at a time so that the game will keep a decent fram rate on last gen. They wanted to graphics too look as good as possible on last gen(which they do, best Xbox 360 graphics I've seen), but the this was at a sacrifice to the game's content. I have an Xbox One now and the graphics are incredible. I just wish they focused more on the actual content in the game instead of how good the graphics are.
