Going to wait for 8K. Now that would be a jump. The enemy crab would freak the hell out of me. Seems the pc master race will get there but consoles are now barely doing full hd. So it would be a while.

I mean there are rumours of Order: 1886 on PS4 running at 1920×800 but that could be intentional. Who knows. 

It's most certainly intentional, that's movie aspect ratio, and they said they are going for "filmic" experience. Though, it does help with pushing more eye candy too...;)

But doing that means almost 1/4th of the TV screen will be black bars. If they do that, they will get critized for it, a lot.

I mean, c'mon, not even Heavy Rain uses that and it's one of the most cinematic games out there. It's completely unnecessary.

I can't recall it, but wasn't one of Silent Hills at that aspect ratio too?

Anyway, I can understand why they would opt for that ratio, it does looks a lot better than 16:9...yes, you have black bars, but I guess that's a matter of preference - I personally would love to see switch to 21:9 TVs, so having extra bars doesn't bother me in case it means better FOV.
