Shouldn't Destiny on PS4 and X1 be 60FPS when the last gen versions are holding them back so much?

Why don't PS4 and X1 versions of Watch_Dogs include the effects that you can unlock with a mod in the PC version? Because the last gen versions are holding them back?

This is a quote from Bundgie after being asked why the PS4/X1 version are 30fps:

"A lot has to do with performance. We’re cross-platform, so we had to be very delicate with all four consoles, making sure they have the same experience, that it looks as good as it possibly can on all these consoles. A lot goes into that, from geometry to textures to post effects to particles to how many players you get on the screen. We’re always balancing that out to make sure everyone gets the same experience."

That pretty much sums up the cross gen situation :/

The beta struggles to get stable 30FPS. I'm sure that the final version can have a stable framerate, but Destiny @ 1080p 60FPS simply wasn't possible on the new consoles.

So, they're limiting the framerate that everyone gets the same experience, but improving the graphics doesn't affect the experience?

Yeah, they probably had to limit some things that it's the same game on all consoles, but that should make it even easier to get a higher framerate on PS4 and X1.
