Has there been any word on K+M support on consoles? I don’t expect it but it’s the one hang-up I have about playing D2 on devices other than PC.

 

[Dibils2k]

oh was hoping this would be day one

 

[Ellery]

Good on them. That is how you do it.

I don't play the game, but I am happy for all the Destiny 2 players that can cherish those improvements. Happy to see both Xbox and Playstation getting 4k 60fps

 

[Nikana]

FoV slider thank God.

Has there been any word on K+M support on consoles? I don’t expect it but it’s the one hang-up I have about playing D2 on devices other than PC.

I know that Sony has been adamant about letting third-party peripherals be compatible with their systems, so their lack of news means there won't be any changes compared to PS4. For Xbox, I think we'll see support for these things but only time will tell.

 

[Thicc Team Six]

FoV slider thank God.

That is a big one for me. I'm ready for PC-Console crossplay as well.

 

[Warnen]

Kills any reason for me getting an Xbox at launch for sure. If I was going to switch from PC that is.

 

[Kerotan]

Excellent. I'll jump back on in January at some point.

 

[Rossco666]

cool, haven’t been a fan since the taken king but might hop back in and give whatever expansions are out a go.

 

[FlyyGOD]

Stealh trolling at its finest.

 

[namekuseijin]

how about 1080p 120fps on psvr, bitches?

 

[Warnen]

Stealh trolling at its finest.

how? I love destiny but what’s the point of next gen stuff doesn’t hit? I’ll be done with the story stuff in a week and back into maintenance mode by then.

Destiny and cyberpunk prob last 2 games I get this year and both next gen patch’s won’t be there now. Really kills the launch for me.

 

[PuffyCan]

That is a big one for me. I'm ready for PC-Console crossplay as well.

Crossplay is only between generation, sadly

• For cross-generation play, Xbox Series X|S players can play with Xbox One players. PlayStation 5 players can play with PlayStation 4 players.

 

[Warnen]

Crossplay is only between generation, sadly

they said full cross play prob hit with next years expasion. This year will be cross gen only.

I don’t think the upgrade was ever announced for launch.

Yes but they said earlier this summer that they would like to look at crossplay between platforms in 2021 once they get next gen crossplay up and running.

 

[Warnen]

True, they never mentioned a date when they talked about the next gen upgrades back in June, guess the delay from September to Nov 10th (xbox release date) just heavily implied that.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Awesome, not really into Destiny at all, but I'm stoked for Destiny fans!

 

[mckmas8808]

What is it on XSS?

 

[Sparhavoc]

Tried Destiny 2 the other day and it's just a confusing mess so I hope this new expansion changes that.

 

[Warnen]

1080p/60

 

[voidenberg]

Sweet. I might use the PS5 as my secondary destiny machine.

 

[Warnen]

Just made a hunter the other day, game is so confusing now. I know what I'm doing and still such a pain in the ass.

 

[AgentP]

So XSS is just a XBX with a stronger CPU and weaker GPU. So less pixels and more frames.

 

[voidenberg]

Allegedly it will get easier to understand in november. Bungie is cutting the fat and streamlining the new player experience.

 

[CAB_Life]

Just made a hunter the other day, game is so confusing now. I know what I'm doing and still such a pain in the ass.

It was free (with the upcoming expansion even) on Gamepass, so I gave it another shot. Still a paucity or content, endless loading screens and no story worth mentioning. The dissonance is particularly jarring when you start (or import) a new character.

There are better console MMOs to play, namely ESO or FFXIV. Better online FPSes to play for that matter, too. At least the gunplay in D2 is quite good. Shame about the rest.

 

[Dibils2k]

i jumped back on it couple of month ago for DLCs.. literally had to google pretty much every Quest to know what the fuck i was supposed to do

 

[Warnen]

More like a XSX with a lesser GPU in the same family so same performance at lower res but yes.

 

[Nikana]

The exotics are impossible to find without the internet. I have all these quests for exotics and not a single way point it anything to guide me in the right direction.

Most of the story content is placed in the Speeder sales person inventory. All the campaigns save shadow keep.

Its gotta be bonkers for new people now, hope the new player experience will be better but since half the current game is getting vaulted you wont be able to do the old campaigns even if you wanted to.

 

[BasedPrime]

Destiny is downright unplayable on console

 

[BlakeofT]

I really don't want to play the game on a controller, but I bet cheating is much more rare on console. Holy shit cheating is still so common in D2 on Steam, it's unbelievable. Last night I played against a guy that was doing rapid fire nova bombs. I'd say 1 in 5 matches last night had an obvious cheater in the lobby. How is this not a top priority for them to fix?!

 

[Hunnybun]

Good sign for these consoles that they seem to be able to run current gen 1080p30 games at 4k60 and without too much trouble.

Tends to suggest the real world GPU performance is well above 8x the PS4, which is great.

 

[LordOfChaos]

Cool. I hopped back into Destiny 2 just yesterday to check what was up, and was surprised how dated it looked already, aliasing everywhere, and it did feel worse jumping out of 60fps Titanfall 2. Hope the next gen patch clears it all up and the 60fps upgrade will be nice.

 

[PSYGN]

The load times are what killed my joy. Hope it loads everything near instant now.

 

[VertigoOA]

Sucks big time that 60fps won’t be at launch. A month wait ain’t too bad But it still sucks.

Nice to see FOV options on console are a thing. You’re always running thru the game and rarely get to embrace some of the more stunning endgame environments ... and a lot of that has to do with default console FOV

 

[Mr. PlayStation]

Will wait for DF analysis if the 60fps is near locked 60fps on PS5 before I decide to even download the patch. Can't stand drops to 30-40fps frequently or even worse if the 60fps has frame pacing issues. Exciting news nonetheless!

 

[Warnen]

For a laugh compared my laptop to xbox. I was able to load in fly to tangled shore, do a lost sector there and fly back out before my Xbox guy landed on the planet...

 

[LeftThumbstick]

So XSS is just a XBX with a stronger CPU and weaker GPU. So less pixels and more frames.

They've literally been saying that since the revealed it.

 

[Antelope]

I’m ok that the patch is dropping a month after the consoles launch. I’ll pick up Beyond Light then, after I get through some launch games. That should also reduce the feeling of FOMO that I don’t enjoy. Once you are that far behind, there’s no need to rush and catch up.

Of course, I’ll still have to deal with the “must have completed raid 360 times” posts that appear a week after launch.

 

[Kagey K]

I jumped in after it all went to Gamepass (played Destiny 1 and had no interest in buying and grinding D2) played through a bunch the legacy content and got my guy to 845 and then got stuck on Spider and his wanting me to find 5 bounties.

It just got confusing at that point, up until then it had all been pretty straight forward. Haven’t gone back in since.

 

[Quixz]

Destiny 2 Benchmarked: 30 GPUs Tested

Opened just days ago to those who preordered the game, today we have a beta copy of Destiny 2 on hand for a heap of GPU benchmarking. Although...

www.techspot.com

Looking at this chart I think 4K/60 won't be too difficult with optimised settings.

 

[Trogdor1123]

I agree. I wonder how much of it is server side making the connections

 

[AgentP]

They've literally been saying that since the revealed it.

They have literally been talking up 1440p and 120fps. They are not calling it weaker than XBX.

As it says, same everything except rendering resolution.

 

[01011001]

As it says, same everything except rendering resolution.

and lower texture resolution (of course depending on the game). which makes sense at lower render resolutions

 

[Omeggos]

oh was hoping this would be day one

I thought it was, so this is a bit disappointing

 

[Kagey K]

I thought it was, so this is a bit disappointing

TBH I thought it was going to be launch day too, especially since they are making you install a whole new launcher on Nov 10 for Beyond Light. I assumed (silly me) that the next gen upgrades would be baked into that new launcher.

 

[VertigoOA]

Pretty sure it was gonna be launch day... looks like they had to delay the next gen upgrades.

 

[Cherrypepsi]

so tomorrow Bungie will drop the next gen consoles update for Destiny 2

I am hoping for

- performance / resolution mode
- faster load times, faster log-in process
- smoother experience in menus and inventory
- better audio
- dualsense functions on Playstation
