Anyone else feel resolution is overrated?

Ryse was a launch game, so with better optimization it should be able to run at 1080p on X1 with its current visuals.

BF2 looks great, BF1 was less impressive. Both games could be 1080p at 30 fps though. Targeting 1080p is easier if 60 fps is off the table.

RDR2 was built for PS4 to run at 1080p, not the X1. I feel they did a underwhelming job optimizing it for a base X1 though, maybe a dynamic resolution would have been better.

60fps was part of why the Battlefront games looked so good though, for me anyway, seeing visuals that impressive running so smoothly was really impactful, and I don't think it would've had quite the same wow factor at 30fps. It was a similar feeling to how a lot of the best looking games on the Gamecube, Wii and Wii U often blazed along at 60fps, thanks in part to EAD's commitment to high framerates in most of their first party games. (Though also thanks to devs like Shin'en, Factor 5, Retro, and Rare) 

As for RDR2, Digital Foundry actually say the base Xbox One version runs slightly smoother than the base PS4 framerate wise.

But if you saw these games running at 1080p/30 with higher quality visuals, it might be hard to imagine it scaled back for 60 fps. I honestly don't feel the first BF1 is great looking compared to the second.

The X1 version of RDR2 runs a little better at an unusually big resolution reduction.
