| DirtyP2002 said: I think the differences from 900p upscaled to 1080p and 1080p is not important at all. The only reason some people are counting pixels is that you CAN count them. "better graphics" was and is always a matter of taste. There are things like lighting effects, artstyle, animations, facial expressions etc etc and IMO all of these things are way more important than resolution. But all of these things are based on personal preferences. Resolution is not. That is why people use it today. Resolution meant shit last gen. If you asked for the best looking game last gen, very few would mention Wipeout, because it runs at 1080p. I am not getting tired to mention that MY personal best looking game of last gen is Fable II, because the artstyle and the atmosphere just felt special and really was a beauty. Maybe I am crazy, but I still think that The Last of Us, Halo 4, Gears of War 3 or Uncharted are great looking games and not one of those games was able to get past 720p at all. I still think X for Wii U looks really really good, but I am not into JRPGs. Gameplay > visuals and for the visuals the resolution is the least important aspect. |
If you go with the argument that resolution is the least important aspect for visuals then why are we not still at 640X480?
Native resolution is one of the most important factors when it comes to IQ. Its the first thing PC gamers try and hit to get the best visuals...native res. 1080p, 4k, 720p, sub 720p it doesnt matter. Its the native resolution on the screen you have that is the most important.
I also dont see why you bringing up Wipeout? I can play some really old PC games on my PC at 1080p and they look like shit. Its being able to hit the most common native resolution AND still being able to do all the rest thats the most important for visuals. And considering that the next gen consoles need to be around for another 5 - 7 years, i dont think it was too much to ask for to have 1080p as a standard for all games not just small undemanding games. Im pretty sure every console gamer out there who was talking about it was expecting 1080p to be the standard for this gen given that we had 720p as standard last gen.
The only reason this has become a talking point is because MS decided to go for an unusually weak gpu. Other than that everybody around here was looking forward to glorius 1080p 60FPS gaming...something that even the PS4 cant deliver.
So yeah resolution absolutely does matter. Obviously you get some people who dont give a fuck and still play Pokemon on their Gameboy Colour...but that thats another case entirely.
