Destiny beta on Xbox One will not be running at 1080p, will reach 1080p by launch

[Arkaign]

I don't trust it, I think it's an artificial goal to hit that will cause a variety of things to be scaled back to meet the 1080p target.

We will get some combination of at least two of the following :

Tearing
Frame drops
Decreased AA
Decreased AF
Lower Quality Shadows
Lower Quality Textures
Lower Quality Models
Lower Quality Particle Effects

It's a certainty. Destiny is not a cutting edge game in terms of technology, but it's not Tetris either. Running it at ~2 million pixels x 30fps is going to bring compromises.
