Next Gen Versions of D2

Discussion

As someone who was lucky enough to get their pre-order of a next gen console, (Series X) the hype for the performance upgrades to pretty much all the games I'm playing is getting real!

It would be nice to know the ins and outs of the D2 upgrade. We know it's targeting 4K 60fps, which is great... but it would be nice to know if there is more to expect with this newer version, if anything, to set expectations.

What kind of upgrades would people like to see? I'm hoping on an FOV slider!

I cant wait to have no loading screens when doing a strike or something. Fov would be nice but no loading times and frames are what i want the most.

Agree, I run D2 on an external Samsung SSD and it's so nice with those short loading times... can't wait for it to run on the internal and more optimised ones!

I saw a posting yesterday of a compilation of squeezing through a gap “loading” screens. While Destiny doesn’t use the same tactic, I was hoping to see one of its S-shaped transition corridors.

As someone who can’t win versus all the scalper bots, will my PS4 experience worsen? Will I load into a strike with my PS5 teammates getting a 60 second head start? Or Gambit/Crucible with everyone appearing in cloaking mode like a pack of Predators?

Doubt it, I’m sure the way destiny works is they wait for the slowest player to load everyone in.

I think that is my big ones for me, framerate and fov. Hopefully bungie will have some news very soon. As far as what information they have released in the twab's, I'm definitely pleased (excited).

Yeah, it's coming up real soon now! Less than a month to go!

I'm on console, some of the biggest issues in my experience have really been with menus, load times etc; and these should be all completely cured with the next generation consoles...hopefully

Yeah, just the pure power upgrade of these consoles, pushing everything to go faster is going to be a big plus!

With the introduction of (semi) cross-play as long as current gen consoles are still being supported I can't see FOV being implemented due to the advantage it gives next gen players.

I dont see it being too much of an issue in a game that's inherently not very competitive. Then again I do understand the other side of that argument too.
