I'm just not buying it... How is the most obvious of solutions not even addressed or brought up at any point (lower resolution for higher frame rate)?
It's a heartbreaker for sure... I have a PC that could run the game, but all my friends will play on PS4, so now I should have to sacrifice my experience to enjoy the game to it's fullest, I have to decide if I want to play by myself at 60fps, or with my friends at 30fps? Not even on a base console, but on a more powerful one (ps4 pro, xbox scorpio)? lmao that just sounds so ridiculous to me.
I don't know, maybe I'm overreacting.
I really hope the conversation is not closed on this issue, and that Bungie is working in some form or another to bring an uncapped frame rate to Destiny 2 on the ps4 pro.

Edited by SmashvilleViking: 8/25/2017 12:48:08 AMI'd rather have a game at a constant 30fps than a game that has drops from 60fps. There is not a single console game that runs at a constant 60fps. Most games that are PvP focused (Overwatch, BF, Star Wars, Titanfall 2, CoD) stay between 40 and 50fps. When the action gets crazy, they can drop as low as 30-35fps. Any person that thinks any console game stays at 60fps knows nothing about framerates.

3 RepliesThey better -blam!-ing update it. If battlefield can do it in 64 player parties since ps4 launched. I don't see why they don't do it. They explained it in the IGN interview @ gamescon but still, I mean we got powerful enough consoles to support it. Am I right? Wtf @bungie?

3 RepliesI hear pc is uncapped....so.....get a pc

1 Replydon't worry, you'll get over it

1 ReplySo you have to choice to play by yourself at 60fps, or with friends at 30? So you picked no game? How come they don't care but you do. You'll have more fun with your friends man.

Edited by RPColten: 8/24/2017 10:34:05 PMPeople on the PS4 Propolus and PS4 play together. Do you really want people who are playing on a more expensive console to be getting an advantage over those who don't have the fancy version?

7 RepliesLet's all look back at battlefield 4 @ "60fps" shall we... Complete trash. And I am a huge fan of the game... but playing it just gives me a headache. Especially since they run on 30hz servers most of the time. Solid frames per second is more important. Yes, competitively, you do want better response... but that is in a world where everyone can get an advantage. The uncapped d2 on pc has no limits. You could be "60fps" but be playing Simeon that is 120fps. And if they spent the money to build that rig, you can guarantee that everything they have has the lowest latency and best ping... you are just going to get outplayed. On console, it is balanced. No one gets an advantage of better response time. If you just play pve and you have one them there fancy tvs, just put on all the bells and whistles and it will look better than 60fps. My tv is 240hz 4k and I have the pro... it is gorgeous. When I play pvp, I just turn on game mode and get rid of the latency from the fake fps that tv creates.

1 ReplyBungie picks the worse times to release their games (at the end of a console's life cycle). Enjoy 3 years of 20-30 fps (you know it's not gonna stay at a solid 30 frames all the time).

It is what it is. Luckily there is the PC option coming.

Yup , another 3 years of the same excuses.

1 ReplyPicking games based on framerate caps is a pretty disappointing approach. You're missing out on quite a bit if so.
-
2 RepliesI honestly can't even tell a difference between 30fps and 60. I always see people complain about not having better graphics, frame rates, and resolutions on already decent games. yet I see those same people wasting countless hours playing minecraft.

1 ReplyI'm disappointed at the lack of exclusives for PS4.

2 RepliesYour friends clearly know that there's actually nothing wrong with Destiny 2's console framerate. It's literally the same as D1's, so why is it such a big deal?

1 ReplyI'm fine with it cuz I'm a console peasant

1 ReplyFrom my experience You'll never realize the frame rate if you're having fun with friends

2 Replies[quote]How is the most obvious of solutions not even addressed or brought up at any point (lower resolution for higher frame rate)?[/quote] Because that's only "obvious" to people who don't understand processor bottlenecks. The PS4 Pro doesn't have a processor good enough to run D2 at 60 fps locked. For extremes in PC you can have a terrible 10 year old processor and even with a 1080Ti, you won't be able to run most new games at even 30 fps. Its the processor that's the issue. Lowering graphics wouldn't change anything.

1 ReplyTo be totally honest, I'd rather have it locked at steady 30 fps. At least it won't be jumping for 60 to 40 depending on what's on screen.
-
1 ReplyI still will never get this whole 60fps freak out. With my 20+ years of gaming, I, for one, am more than happy with the leaps and bounds the gaming industry has made over the last two generations of consoles. 30, 60, or anywhere in between, I simply do not care. As long as the game is good and works properly, I will be happy. Get over it, man. Consoles just aren't quite there yet. They will be soon enough. Patience, my young padowan. Patience.

1 ReplyEdited by Cha0ticByNature: 8/23/2017 11:34:39 PMThey covered all the information on this and why during the 3 D2 reveals they did, should be able to find them out there on the bungie youtube or twitch channels. "Could we make a Destiny game that ran at 60 FPS? Yes," Noseworthy said in the latest issue of Edge magazine, as reported by Wccftech. "But the space would be smaller, it would be less cooperative, and there'd be fewer monsters to shoot. That's not the game we want to make." "Put like that, the trade-off doesn't sound like a bad one. Yes, a game that's locked to 30fps looks markedly worse than one running at 60fps or more, all things being equal. The resulting lack of smoothness is especially noticeable in a reflex-based shooting game like Destiny 2 (though the server's internal tick rate has arguably more impact on how the game feels). That said, a smoother Destiny 2 with fewer simultaneous enemies and fewer player characters in smaller battle locales would probably be noticeably worse to play, too. As long as the game can run steadily at a playable 30 frames per second, without dips, that sounds like a perfectly acceptable trade."

4 RepliesLower resolution for a higher frame rate is not a solution.

Edit: This is not a hateful or bashful post, I'm a huge Destiny fan (Day1). I'm simply trying to get a better understanding. I think next gen consoles is something Bungie could have spent a little more time studying while developing Destiny 2. Optimize the game. That's a thing, right?

9 RepliesI feel you, there's no excuse between the Pro and X especially with last gen hardware not holding it back. Once you play enough games at 60fps consistently, 30 just feels so shitty and clunky. Makes D1 unplayable for a couple of my friends because it isn't smooth enough anymore and I don't blame them. At this point the PC version will be the only good version of the game, on console it just looks like ass.
