The only reason we argue about pixels is that you can count them.
When you talk about visuals as a whole, there are dozens of things to consider
- lighting
- textures
- animations
- artstyle
- framerate
- etc.
Most of those points come down to personal taste. Not so much for resolution. You can count the pixels. And Inet-boyz need something to measure the ePenis.
When you ask about the best looking games this gen, you will probably here The Last of Us, Halo 4, Killzone 3, Uncharted, Gears of War, etc.
The Last of Us runs at 720p / 30 FPS
Halo 4 runs at 720p / 30 FPS
Gears of War 2 runs at 720p / 30 FPS
etc.
Nobody said wipeout HD is the best looking game ever, because it was one of the VERY few games that ran at 1080p...
So, resolution became such a big topic, because Inet-Boyz needed something to argue about. That is it. In the real world: Not a single *beeep* was given.
Imagine not having GamePass on your console...
