"If they can do HDR on a PS4 Pro"

To be fair, they can do HDR on regular launch day PS4s. I think the Slim Xbone supports it as well, which is why its absence is becoming more and more baffling as time goes on (I mean, The Last of Us remastered came out in 2014, well before "HDR" became a buzzword, and it supports HDR, but current AAA games don't?).

The trick isn't whether the console has that option or not, but whether it can simultaneously do it while running the game at acceptable framerates. Are you sure the regular PS4 can do both with Destiny 2? I'm not, but maybe you know something I don't.

Honestly, Destiny 2 doesn't look like a massive leap up from D1, so I doubt it's pushing the GPU of the original PS4s to the point where HDR would be an issue (not that I'm an expert). So I'll say "maybe", but yeah, there might be stuff neither of us knows holding that back.

That said, it's definitely one of the reasons that i'm not into the whole 4k hype train. Give me better-looking games with HDR and stable framerates any day. If the dynamic 4k can help the Pro or XB1X support HDR and higher resolution, then that's a win in my book (inb4 60fps neckbeards).

And hey, as neat as it is, it's ultimately just minor stuff, I'm just hopeful about the screenshot potential. In the end, there's always PC for those really into that stuff.
