. . .So, unlike other "DLSS enabler" mods which typically use whatever game in question's preexisting DLSS hooks to just insert FSR2/3/4 or Intel XESS, HelixSR at least offers some semblance of DLSS proper (DLSS 3.7, CNN model, Preset E):

"HelixSR runs NVIDIA's DLSS Model E network as standard Direct3D12 compute shaders, without NVIDIA Tensor Cores, an NVIDIA driver, CUDA, or ROCm. It behaves like DLSS: no sharpening, every quality mode from native (DLAA) to Ultra Performance, dynamic resolution.

...This is NVIDIA's network running on different hardware, not a newly trained model. HelixSR answers the game exactly as DLSS would: DLSS's camera jitter (8 × scale² Halton positions), DLSS's render sizes per quality mode, no sharpening (a game's FSR sharpening request is not applied), reactive masks ignored. In Ultra Performance the network outputs twice the render size and a final pass scales that to the screen (less shimmer, about 30% faster). Packed FP16 arithmetic makes the output close to, but not bit-identical with, NVIDIA's DLSS."

"we are beginning the work of bringing vaulted Destiny 2 campaigns, destinations, and raids back into the game, where they will be available to all Destiny 2 players.

Bringing this content back is not as simple as restoring old files. Changes made to Destiny 2 since Beyond Light require us to update lighting, encounters, combatants, and other underlying systems. That work will take time, but it is necessary to ensure returning content meets the stability and gameplay standards of Destiny 2 today."

. . .Doubt it will happen, but would be nice if, while at it, they took the opportunity to enhance the game for Pro.

The good news:

The back compat version was 1620p / 60fps, the new version purports native 4K 60, Dualsense haptics and trigger effect, and a photo mode.

(Prior media promotional statements have mentioned nebulous improvements to other graphical aspects beyond just resolution but I have yet to see any clarification as to what that defines.)

The *BAD* news:

Pre-existing owners of the last gen version get the upgrade *for free* on Xbox, but THQ have apparently decided to shaft owners of the PS4 version by charging an upgrade fee to offset the cost of wooing new sales via a cheaper-than-on-Xbox full purchase price for new customers buying the game for the first time.

In short, pre-existing owners of the game get the shit end of the stick on PS, while new customers get the shit end of the stick on Xbox.
