Bioshock Infinite looks very pretty, but it's a bad show case for 4K.
This is my favorite of the shots you posted:

Looking at it at native res only the painting holds up. Even shrunk down to 960x540 the desk lamp still looks like a ps2 asset.

It's kind of a problem too with selling 4K tvs atm. I was looking at a 70" 4K tv couple days ago, it had a 4k demo od after earth. You could easily see the difference between the 2K rendered backgrounds and the 4K actors. Next was a soccer match demo, sure looked great, I don't like soccer though. Not a lot if interesting content available.
All the other 1080p tvs did look very soft after that 70" 4K monster.

Let's see what The witcher 3 can pull off in 4K :)


I dont agree.

 

Everything looks better at 4k.  Everything.  If I posted 1080p shots of it it would look even worse.  Sure the game doesn't have great texture work but it still looks bad textured at 1080p. In fact the only difference between these shots and standard 1080p shots are the amount of aliasing is drastically reduced. There's zero reason to play anything under 4k if you can run it, as everything looks naturally better at 4k. Its the exact same thing as old games rendered in 1080p they look dramatically improved in terms of image quality.

In fact things like texture work, lighting, etc. are now days the least important things to me. Sure they are nice "eye candy" but my number 1 priority with graphics now days is image quality. High resolutions with high anti aliasing. I admit it won't be the same for everyone as some would prefer higher res textures at lower resolutions but honestly those types of games image quality really hurts the picture for me. Thats not to say I don't enjoy sub 4k games as I love my Xbox 1 and PS4 but its just a personal preference.
