last gen many games struggled to keep 30FPS with 720p or less. This time round we are launching with lots of 1080p 60FPS games with large advances in other areas. Honestly sub 1080p at 60FPS in what has a good chance of being one of the more technically expressive launch titles isn't too much to worry about. Console optimisation is all about trade-offs (FPS, Image quality, effects, scale, level of detail) of course the PS4 and XBone don't exactly have super high end hardware but the fact that resolution is being traded off in one game isn't a big deal.

I'm not sure what to say about the whole situation really. It is after all just a launch game, and we all know how games look late in the cycles compared to early. However, when a standard PC from 2008 could run games at 1080p in almost every cases, then why can't a console, that is dedicated to gaming, that is supposed to last for 10 years, manage that? As Rich says, where are we going to be in three years? And in 6, are we going to feel that they have pretty much maxed out the systems? After all, the PS4 is a lot easier to develop for than the PS3.

Who says this is supposed to be a 10 year generation?  The last generation wasn't.  We will probably see new consoles in 6-7 years.

I'm taking that one from the video. He said so, and I've never really experienced him to just make up stuff. However, Microsoft also sid that they wanted to sell 1 billion Xbox ones, and I doubt that means we'll have a 6-7 year console gen.

 

And, the the whole pc from 2008 thing is also from the video, as I trust him enough to believe that what he says is the truth. If it isn't, then I'm sorry :p
