| Kwaad said: gball said something and I just thought of this, and this relates my opinion on alot of stuff. HD movies mean nothing more than a SD video. They both tell the same story? Right? Well, if you wanna go the cheap way, you can normally buy a book of the movie. Alot of the time the book has the better story, and it's more detailed... who would ever wanna watch a movie when you could read the book? Who cares about sound. Sound isnt very imporant. 8bit sound is just as good as 256bit sound. Some of the best game soundtracks were on the SNES, and you can get those on a wind-up music jukebox for quite a few of them. So now that we have that done.
Let's take a 1700's printing press, with a windup music box... and read a story! It's better than watching a movie!
Ok that was alot of scarcasm, but that's what it feels like those of you who say quality dont matter. I like to read. |
What a stupid argument
Ever wondered why we moved so quickly from 2 bit colour to 24 bit colour, yet since then we haven't actually added any more colours to our displays? Where are the 64 bit colour displays?
Ever wonder why we moved from 8 bit sound to 256 bit sound quickly, yet still (apart from real audiophiles) haven't really progressed from there?
There is an amount of quality where if you go past it the return is not worth the investment. This amount depends on the application and the human watching it. Of course, we will see a difference between 480p and 1080p. Just like you can hear a difference between 256 bit sound and whatever is the highest you can get (I'm no audiophile). But likening this transition to the one from 8 bit sound to 256 is just completely ridiculous.But then again, I should expect this kind of stupid argument from the person who tried to argue that the PS2 was more powerul than the GC because it had a 128 bit processor.
Help! I'm stuck in a forum signature!
