At E3, gameplay of Destiny 2 was shown on PC. Destiny 2 ran at 4k with 60 FPS. This received a lot of applause.
PC players are skeptical about Destiny 2
The skepticism of PC players towards Destiny 2 is significant. Destiny itself was a hit on PS4 and Xbox One, that’s clear. But PC players are skeptical. Too often, ports of major publishers from console games to PC have been technically second-rate, especially when it was contracted work outsourced to another studio.
Bungie is doing the same with Destiny 2, another Activision studio, Vicarious Visions, is handling the port in close collaboration with Bungie.
Technically, the port seems flawless
But it looks like Destiny 2 on PC is significantly better than some expected. The PC version was playable at E3 at an Nvidia booth, and the experts are full of praise.
Digital Foundry, which checks games for Eurogamer for technical details, is impressed with the PC port. The system ran at maximum settings with a GTX 1080 Ti in 4k and with a locked 60 FPS.
The version is technically flawless and looks as good as hoped. Destiny scales beautifully on UHD. The upgrade compared to PlayStation 4 is immense. The key artwork of Destiny 2 is designed to be seen in ultra-HD.
This also makes it worth waiting until October 24. Then the release of Destiny 2 for PC is scheduled.
After the article, Bungie responded again and noted that what Eurogamer saw isn’t even the maximum. Only “pretty high”, there’s still room for improvement.
As for system requirements for PC, we are still waiting. It is only known that the minimum system requirements for PC should remain manageable.
Gameplay well done – How does Destiny 2 play with mouse and keyboard?
That’s enough about the technical aspects. The gameplay is being discussed by the editors of GameStar and GamePro in a video.
They both know the first Destiny from the PS4 and commend Bungie, stating that they have successfully brought the “Destiny feeling” to PC.
The shooting feel with mouse and keyboard on PC is just as good as on console. The developers have put in a lot of work to make it feel right.
For information on the keyboard layout of Destiny 2, we have it here.
Nvidia jumps on the Destiny 2 bandwagon with a bundle
The gaming tech giant NVIDIA jumps on the Destiny bandwagon. From June 13 to 27, buyers of a GTX 1080 Ti, a GTX 1080, or certain PCs or laptops will receive the PC version of Destiny.
Nvidia provided the PC version on which the Destiny 2 gameplay was recorded. Nvidia apparently sees Destiny as a perfect vehicle to showcase their technology to buyers.
There’s also another trailer with gameplay.
It’s a pity that PC players still have to wait a while before they can convince themselves of the statements made by the testers. A PC beta for Destiny 2 is not scheduled until the end of August 2017.
