Forums - Sony Discussion - Blown away by PS4 ACIV. 1080p matters.

I play a 100" projector, so it may be more obvious for me, but there was a huge difference

When we started using our PS4, we could get the PS4 update but no PSN so no AC IV update. My brother played through the first section and it looked decent, but not hugely impressive

I waited until the evening when everything was working properly and it was so much more impressive. I'm glad I waited 3 weeks for it

(Really great game by the way!)

Ya for the longest time I thought resolution didn't matter as much, but even on phones you can tell when it becomes step up.



 

It doesn't seem like a big deal, but it kind of is. Say what you want, but the visuals are what we interact with, it's a big deal. It does look amazing.

PS4 version of Assassin's Creed IV has received a 1080p patch and holy shit... it matters. The graphics are so crisp and detailed I can't help but think how much better this is than 720p presentation.

How come people can't notice this difference? It's absurdly better than 720p.


A lot of people don't game on big enough TVs to tell the difference. Poor bastards.


Yea, I mean, even PROFESSIONAL REVIEWERS were saying for some games that "1080p vs 720p" on PS4 x Xbone comparisons that it didn't matter. But after playing it at 1080p, I say it does matter and matters in a major way.

Any reviewer that says otherwise is flat out lying.



Of course there is a huge difference.

Even a low ambitious amateur photographer can tell the difference between a photo shoot with a 1MP and one with
2MP cam-even when the foto is very small(postcard-size),
and even those " 720p is as good as 1080p prophets" would never ever buy a mobile with a sub4MP cam because the resultion and quality sucks.

I keep reading good things about it but after how hyped I was for AC3 and how disappointing it ended up being.   I'm skeptical about new AC games.

Do you recomend it ? 



Of course higher resolution matters. Otherwise we would have sticked to 360p.

It matters when factoring in graphics to a score, but it doesn't matter as far as gameplay is concerned, which is the most important factor.

You can tell there is a difference, but you need a very big TV to say is "absurdly better", I was playing PS4 yesterday on a 32" TV and you can see there is a difference but is a minor one like everything thing is a little more crisp, not a huge one like "I have to pay 400 U$ to play the same game" in higher resolution.
