| daredevil.shark said: Before you guys start bashing me please read what I wrote. Its a known fact taht ps4 is the most powerful console out there. And has good raw power to make games look and feel awesome. But there are two facts. 1. PS4 is the most powerful console. 2. Its still a console and power connot exceed given horsepower (1.84 tflop). Now we are seeing many games are running 720p and 900p in competitors systems and general gaming people dont give a damn. We tech savvy people or gaming media cares. Most of the games have similar textures but resolution and framerate different. Now what if (in 2016/2017 this might be true) many games especially first party sony studios start making PS4 games at 720p / 900p with jaw dropping graphics? They use the advantage of resolution for jaw dropping graphics. The resolution might be lower but those awesome graphics will impress everyone. What do you guys think? Will you accept jaw dropping graphics (compared to competitors games graphics) with the same exact resolution (700p / 900p)? Or do you guys want a little better graphics at double resolution (1080p)? |
"general gaming people dont give a damn" I think it's possible you are wrong here. Resolution gate dramas, responses from people over the Internet showed that many people specifically wanted Full HD games. And they showed it with their wallets (Devs most certainly noticed it too).
"Now what if (in 2016/2017 this might be true) many games especially first party sony studios start making PS4 games at 720p / 900p with jaw dropping graphics?" It won't happen at all. Zero chance. If you look at PS3 games, all first party games stayed at 720p (or native res for Beyond) and on the average third parties in fact increased their resolution of PS3 games ports in order to reach at least native 720p resolution (even if with small black bars).
Talking only about native resolution vs upscaled resolution, only one 60fps launch game on PS4 was upscaled, and it was officially a shitty buggy port of the PC game (should I say demo?) with zero console optimization at least on the GPU side (because people ran test on PC configs which proved this). I predict the next BF5 will be 1080p on PS4 (and maybe 900p on XB1). People have 1080p TVs and now expect to play native games on their shiny Full HD TVs.
I also predict that many more games will be 1080p on XB1, the gap will not widen, at least not the resolution gap. The difference of 60% will still be there but it will be shown in the framerates or effects/AA (like 60fps-ish/30fps-ish framerate with Tomb Raider DE or 2xMSAA/ZeroAA with NBA 2K14) and less with the resolution.
Yes NBA 2K14 on PS4 has (the great) 2xMSAA when it has Zero AA on XB1. Digital Foundry purposefully forgotten to review the game for its obvious partial agenda. It's called cherry picking.
