Destiny only 30fps? (Destiny)

I'm kind of worried: is Destiny going to be a 30fps game?

All the web stuff I understand being at 30fps, because nobody really can deliver 60fps flash content. However, I saw that sharing commercial on broadcast TV, where 60fps (or 60 fields per sec) is the standard. And yet, it looked like the game footage was at 30fps…

A lot of you may not know the difference, but since playing games on my mac for a while, 60fps has just become a huge luxury I can't live without. The experience is measurably better, especially since Destiny is an action game and we want to be immersed in the world, the high frame rate will be appreciated. I honestly cannot even conceive of playing a game like Bioshock infinite at 30fps, yet so many console players did.

Does anybody know if the framerate as been confirmed anywhere? I only really care about the PS4 version. Resolution targets would be nice to know too, but they have less an effect than fps on the experience.

Especially since Destiny is built for its engine to run on older tech, the new systems should be able to do 60fps, similar to MGSV and the fox engine. Right?
