Bioshock Infinite looks very pretty, but it's a bad show case for 4K.
It's kind of a problem too with selling 4K tvs atm. I was looking at a 70" 4K tv couple days ago, it had a 4k demo od after earth. You could easily see the difference between the 2K rendered backgrounds and the 4K actors. Next was a soccer match demo, sure looked great, I don't like soccer though. Not a lot if interesting content available.
All the other 1080p tvs did look very soft after that 70" 4K monster.
Let's see what The witcher 3 can pull off in 4K :)

I dont agree.
Everything looks better at 4k. Everything. If I posted 1080p shots of it it would look even worse. Sure the game doesn't have great texture work but it still looks bad textured at 1080p. In fact the only difference between these shots and standard 1080p shots are the amount of aliasing is drastically reduced. There's zero reason to play anything under 4k if you can run it, as everything looks naturally better at 4k. Its the exact same thing as old games rendered in 1080p they look dramatically improved in terms of image quality.
In fact things like texture work, lighting, etc. are now days the least important things to me. Sure they are nice "eye candy" but my number 1 priority with graphics now days is image quality. High resolutions with high anti aliasing. I admit it won't be the same for everyone as some would prefer higher res textures at lower resolutions but honestly those types of games image quality really hurts the picture for me. Thats not to say I don't enjoy sub 4k games as I love my Xbox 1 and PS4 but its just a personal preference.

Oh, I don't disagree that 4K makes everything look better. Just that it doesn't show off what you can do with the resolution. The best demos I've seen so far was the soccer match, you could see the whole field, all the players and the stands clearly. And Googlemaps in an earlier demo, full roadmap in 4K.
As you said it's the same as running ps2 classics in HD. They look better than ever, but also very obviously not made for 1080p. It's quite a high price tag currently for better anti aliasing.
Talking about not made for 1080p, I thought the downgrades for Forza 5 were exaggerated, but those screenshots look pretty bad for gen 8. I guess it looks better in motion.
