Destiny's First-Ever 1080p Xbox One Footage

IGN: "The Xbox One beta had to go out at 900p. See what the final Xbox One version of Destiny is going to look like."

JBSleek3557d ago

I truly wish this game was coming out for PC but I will be picking this up for Xbox One. Played the beta on PS4, looking good so far. September needs to hurry up!

Volkama3557d ago (Edited 3557d ago )

I would be torn if it was coming for the PC. I have a few friends getting the Xbox version and friends surely weighs in higher than pristine graphics.

Unfortunately I found out recently that I have become totally attrocious at aiming with a controller. Really hope I can cure that quickly or they might not even want me to join them! :)

tbone5673557d ago

Can't wait to get Destiny for Xbox One. XB1 has better friend integration, better server support, can't get hacked like PSN, better twitch support. Everything else is just better.

osamaq3557d ago

its cross generation game,
that's why xbone can do it 1080p... I think

osamaq3557d ago

as I can see in this video
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

the current gen version of the game looks like a remaster version of the old one ...

conclusion : xbone can do a 1080p of a remasterd version of old gen game " not a big deal"

PONTIAC08G8GT3556d ago

@osamaq

Just because it's a cross generation game doesn't mean thats why the X1 is 1080. Battlefield, Watchdogs, X1 isn't running at 1080 and those games are cross platform. I think that the more time developers have the more 1080 X1 games we will see. Games generally look better as the systems get older then they do when first launched.

check out the dropped frames while he's running up the stairs @2:32.

thrust3557d ago

Hahaha ok mate!

Xbox one day one for me :)

Volkama3557d ago

But if frames are dropped how can I check them out? Do you have them?

MeliMel3557d ago

Check it out guys. Down bubble for trolling @12:46pm 7/21/14. Lol..smh

DeadRabbits3557d ago

The little console that could!

TheGreatAndPowerful3557d ago (Edited 3557d ago )

It's currently dropping frames at 900p, can you imagine how it'll perform when they push it to 1080p? Wow.. poor MS, it just never ends for them does it.

jcnba283557d ago

There are frame rate drops in the PS4 beta.

nerdman673557d ago

PS4 version drops frames quite a bit, it's just too fun for it to matter.

TheGreatAndPowerful3557d ago (Edited 3557d ago )

@nerdman and everyone else in here making these bs claims should all be labeled as trolls and have a bubble removed.

1080p is ok I just want the game to function properly on X1.

What I mean by that it the PS4 gets more days than the X1 version.

I want the X1 version to be as best as it can be despite having a shorter beta.

jagermaster6193557d ago

I agree with you 100% on that!

ma1asiah3557d ago

Can we really call the Destiny Beta even a Beta on either console?

I personally would call this a glorified early access demo much like what we have come to expect from the Battlefield series.

Seriously given that the game is slated to release in September, I can't see much code changing between now and then. Maybe just a bit more spit and polish.

At best you could argue that it is a stress test but a real Beta I somehow think not.

No worries. Fanboys will find something else to bitch about.

I see a lot of comparison videos between consoles for this game in the near future...

you sony fans better find something else besides res quick. or you gonna be left with your u know what in your hand.

Gekko363556d ago

I know my boys and I are getting this on day one (unless it's a school night and I'll buy it but not let them touch it till the weekend and all their homework is done. I know I'm a right b@st@rd).

The footage looks great but none of us care about resolution, it's the gameplay we can't wait to get our hands on. My lads are chomping at the bit for it...

I thought most people on here typed one handed... I know I do! :D

MuhammadJA3556d ago

The menu of the game indicates a PC version is coming. Lol, mouse movements.

The fact that so many people care about resolution this generation is a stigma for gaming. Just enjoy your games and quit whining

Predaking773557d ago (Edited 3557d ago )

So it wasn't a stigma last generation when it favored the 360 and it was OK but now that it doesn't favor the x1 it is a stigma?

Oh the hypocrisy

All_Consoles3557d ago

Hardly anyone talked about resolution last gen, but I had a ps3 the entire generation to play third party games and I was fine. People are just whining too much

Athonline3557d ago

I don't remember resolution to be an issue.

Other than the 3-red lights it was about graphics, originally multiplats on 360 and then when they started looking the same people stopped and started fighting about features like Kinect, PSN down, Live subscription, etc etc... The press was pretty much picking up whatever they could.

Now it is resolution. Mostly because press can show differences easier, get more clicks and thus more revenue.

Simply enjoy your games.

Software_Lover3557d ago

No one really cared/talked about resolution last gen. I think the biggest thing was when Microsoft took out of their contract that every game had to be 720p. That was only talked about for a short while though.

AngelicIceDiamond3557d ago (Edited 3557d ago )

@Preda Whenever X1 version of games start freezing and stuttering or anything worse then we have a problem.

The only thing that people are arguing about is resolution this gen.

COD4, MW2, Fall Out 3, Sky Rim and others had freezing problems on PS3.

That's not the case with X1. Clipping games seems to be a minor issue here and there but its not game breaking problems however.

Am_Ryder3557d ago

Last generation it was simply about the overall flops of the console. Not resolution or anything. It was GPU/CPU arguments, threading arguments and processor structure. Blah blah.

This gen it has all become about resolution and frame rate. Which don't really matter as long as the game and the simulation is good.

Imho, resolution matters NOTHING. If you started playing all your games on 800 x 600, within a few hours you would desensitize and forget what HD looked like.

The only criterion which matters for FPS is that it's functional, so above 25-30. Most TV and cinema has been 25 for 60 odd years and nobody complains.

user74029313557d ago (Edited 3557d ago )

You are right! screw resolution! why did they even make a ps3 oe xbox 360? why not stick to playstation 2? smfh. resolution is very important in 2014, not a dealbreaker (ofcourse) but resolution absolutely matters. my experience in 1080p will be superiour to someones in 900p.

which is why i am getting this for ps4. i want the most advantages i can have on consoles.

BELOW AT USER "gudit." joined 8 min ago. you are a troll. try harder.

Software_Lover3557d ago

Better graphics, thats why we move on to console generation after generation. Resolution is just one aspect of that.

Hell, most HD shows only display in 720p, they look good to me.

ThePope3557d ago

Yes the games this gen look better than last. BUT they also can be more; more environments, more characters on screen, more detail, more immersion, more everything. Resolution is one thing enhanced, but it is only part of the equation.

starchild3557d ago

"my experience in 1080p will be superiour to someones in 900p."

It's funny you guys can never admit that when it comes to the PC. All last generation long all I heard was how the higher resolutions and framerates on PC really didn't matter since "it's still the same game".

Now you guys are changing your tune just because it gives you something to bash gamers on other consoles over.

Am_Ryder3557d ago

Fuck graphics, man. They don't matter shit.

What matters is deeper and more emergent simulation, wider breadth of gameplay and scope, big pushes in AI, etc.

Seriously, play some old PC games at 1024xwhatever. Within a few hours of playing lo res you entirely forget what hi-res looks like.

Frame rate is more important but still doesn't matter shit when it comes to a game's content and simulation.

Benchm4rk3557d ago (Edited 3557d ago )

@Dirtypimp

"but resolution absolutely matters. my experience in 1080p will be superiour to someones in 900p"

I Disagree. My experience with COD Ghosts in 720p was probably just as bad as yours in 1080p ;-)

What on earth would we "discuss" then? Actual details on gameplay and game mechanics? Pish posh!!

whothedog3557d ago

Mafia 2 ps3 version had no grass.....

There was lots of nit picking last gen and it will continue into this gen.

It just switched sides now.

gman_moose3556d ago

Yeah its so sad that IGN even made a video for that. Then again, it's MacCaffrey, who's as much a MS fanboy as anyone.

When enough dedication and resources go into development of a game, it's not so hard to achieve parity. It happened quite often on PS3/360... lazy devs were exposed when the PS3 versions looked like crap, and the good devs made them equal.

The wildcard will be the exclusives. Everyone knows this, yet we bicker back and forth about multiplats like they mean something.

Shocked that Pc Mustard race is not getting this game.

I don't think they would care either, probably busy playing the Goat simulator.

Angels37853557d ago

In all honesty though...that game is pretty funny xD

Corpser3557d ago

The definitive version is coming later, rumor is March 2015

Rob_Ko3557d ago (Edited 3557d ago )

I don't think it's worth for Activision to sell that 100k extra copies on PC.

Mustard Race need to save money for new graphic cards that comes every 6 months to stay on the top of the pack.

Well at least they can buy 5 year old games on steam sales.

Athonline3557d ago

It won't be 100K extra copies. However I belive Activision is playing their game right.

Activision knows that more wealthy PC gamers will never stick to one system if they want the X game. By getting Destiny on consoles only at launch, it will make PC gamers get a console. This way this way they increase next-gen console sales.

A few months after they release the game for PC, PC gamers who got it on a console, will re-buy this. Mainly for that extra DLC, better graphics, controls, etc.

Activision wants to pull a "Rockstar" with their GTA. Get PC people who can't wait to buy it on a console and then resell them one. Similar to what Blizzard done a similar thing in reverse; got Diablo on PC and then released a console version with enough extra stuff (that co-op is quite fun) to attract PC gamers getting it.

In any case, understand something: Activision, EA, Ubisoft, etc are all about the money, they don't care about system loyalties or whatever. Their choices are business choices. They just want to sell as many copies in the short term and establish franchises/ system bases for the long-term.

Without want to start a war, but:
You don't need a graphics card every year, I do every two, because I can afford it. My previous rig still lives in my parents' house is 5-6 years and yet plays games like Crysis (with a few compromises) fine.
Steam sales include new games, wolfenstein the new order had a 50% two days ago. Divinity: Original Sin was also on sales. Plus if you buy from 3rd-party stores, you get them even cheaper than Steam.

Enjoy the game and relax.

sinspirit3557d ago

Yea. 100k copies at $50(at least) at launch would easily be $5 million, which more than covers porting it to PC. This game would sell at least a million over time on PC. It's Bungie's next huge game, it's one of the hottest game topics right now(sci-fi), and it is free roam with a huge emphasis on multiplayer. It is focusing on some of the strongest points of PC gaming in the industry and they have every gamers attention.

Panthers3557d ago

I dont see how people could play on Console only. So many great PC exclusives. I would never play a shooter on PC because I hate mouse/KB controls for Shooters. But RTS/MMO games are so much better. MOBA too.

Rob_Ko3557d ago (Edited 3557d ago )

who doesn't own pc/laptop these days?
It's not console players who are religious to their one system.

starchild3557d ago

Wow, so much console gamer jealousy. Having to bring up the PC out of the blue just goes to show how much the PC's advantages bother you.

Just enjoy your games, no matter which platform(s) you play on.

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter323d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood323d ago (Edited 323d ago )

This was back when the game wasn't free to play.

The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).

Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.

Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.

People spend way too much money on cosmetics.

Rude-ro323d ago (Edited 323d ago )

Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.

Sonic1881323d ago (Edited 323d ago )

Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well

Kurt Russell322d ago

It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.

buffig323d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast323d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername323d ago (Edited 323d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g323d ago

For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.

spicelicka323d ago

By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.
