Is there any info about how much would cost as for now to develop a 4k res game?
I think the biggest drawback is that nobody will want to develop such expensive games

It's just the resolution, no need to change anything except maybe the texture res to keep them in a similar relation but that is optional.
The screen is simply filled by more pixels, making it easier to see details that are already present.

exactly, it might even save them some money because at 4K they might not even need to use anti aliasing

at least no MSAA - from what I got from the article post processing AA methods work better the higher the res (and those only use ~1/10 or less of the processing power of MSAA) as their respective drawbacks are lessened
