Nvidia released a gameplay video of Destiny 2 on PC: You see the fight against Protheon.
Now there’s something to see! As part of Gamescom 2017, Nvidia’s YouTube channel released a gameplay video showing the fight against the final boss in the “Twisted Tower” strike – in stunning 4K and 60 frames per second.
The footage was recorded, according to the video description, with a current GeForce GTX. We embed the video here for you:
Don’t forget to set the video to 4K in the settings.
What is the video about?
Those who have already played the console beta of Destiny 2 will recognize the scene: We are here on – or in – the planetoid Nessus in the strike “Twisted Tower”. Only the fight against the final boss “Protheon” can be seen here – so just a snippet of the strike.
The fight against Protheon takes place from the perspective of an Arcstrider, who can whirl an Arc staff around to deal heavy damage. Protheon itself belongs to the alien race of the Vex and resembles Atheon – the final boss of the Glass Chamber. The fight against Protheon is carried out on multiple levels.
60 FPS and more are PC exclusive
Many Guardians on PS4 and Xbox One are probably enviously looking at this video in 60 FPS – because on all consoles, Destiny 2 is limited to 30 FPS. According to Bungie, 60 was indeed possible, but then the world would be smaller, the coop would be limited, and there would be fewer enemies in the Destiny 2 world. That is definitely not the game Bungie wants to create. Therefore, there had to be sacrifices in the frame rate.
At least on consoles – because on PC, there is no frame rate cap. Here, 60 FPS and more are possible, as long as your rig can handle it.
Next week, the PC beta of Destiny 2 launches. In it, you can play the strike shown in the video in full length yourself.
By the way, we were allowed to play the PC version at Gamescom. We conducted an experiment and interviewed 2 editors from Mein-MMO who had not really dealt with Destiny before. Will Destiny 2 be successful for new players on PC as well? See for yourself:
