You can notice noticeable difference of sharpness in two 720p versions of the same game (because of better AF on PS3 probably) but 2.25 times more pixels doesn't register? and you don't have a PS4? I don't have a PS4. But I sure have read all the positive posts everywhere on Internet (not just on console war forums like here), where people where really impressed by the noticeable difference in playing game 720p versus 1080p or even 900p versus 1080p (for COD, AC4 and BF4 mainly). Quick question, is you TV a real native 1080p? Because I have also a TV which says "1080p" when I output 1080p games but I know for a fact it is a downsampled image because this TV is native 768p. That's why you can't see difference between 720p and 1080p. |
Well yeah, if you just point out samples, then it does appear to be contradictions. Thing is, in the case of Arkham Origins, the Wii U version is actually a graphical downgrade for the Wii U version of Arkham City. It's an anti-aliasing issue,not a resolution issue. The PS3 version is smoother. Plus, I got it for free with The Last of Us when I got another PS3 on Black Friday. The game is still the same and it has the exclusive Knightfall DLC plus the online mode that the Wii U version was lacking. The sharpness of the picture in Arkham Origins is noticeable but still, compared to the other things the Wii U version was missing, the anti-aliasing was the least of my concerns. And even though I have the PS3 version of Origins, I still got the "Initiation" DLC on the Wii U because I preferred the Wii U's touch screen map.
I said that compared to the REAL differences that consoles had in the past, resolution didn't register. I'd rather have 100% of the game at a lower resolution than 80%-90% of certain games as we've experienced in past generations. The experience is still the same. Of course, PS4 owners will have the whole experience and the best presentation. I feel like I'm repeating myself and banging my head against the wall.
Here's an analogy: say a video game is a movie. The Xbox One is a DVD and the PS4 is a Blu Ray. At the end of the day, you've still seen the entire movie. In the past, imagine having two different formats of the same movie--one version left out certain scenes or certain lines of dialog or special effects. That would be unacceptable, right? So, if you still follow me, what I'm saying is I'd be more concerned with the missing content than the sharpness of the image, espescially if both of them are technically HD.
So, as I'll say again, resolution is the least of my concerns. I'm more concerned with content. If both versions of the game have the same content, I'm happy. When/If the PS4 version of a game has realistic water and the Xbox One version has plastic looking water, or if the ground on a PS4 game looks like actual dirt and the Xbox One version looks less real, THEN I'll be concerned. Who knows? That day may come. Right now, I don't see it.
And no, I don't have a PS4 yet. I was tempted to buy one yesterday but decided I'd be better off waiting until a game I actually want to play is available. The only game I see on the horizon for either PS4 or Xbox One is Tomb Raider--which I already own on Xbox 360. It's better than nothing, I guess.

And yeah, my TV is a real 1080p LED HDTV. I put a lot of effort into finding a great one, even made a thread here on VGChartz and looked up comparisons on CNet and Endgadget before making the purchase. I know that even though the TV is set for 1080p, most of the content running on my TV isn't 1080p but I'm okay with that.
