Is 1080p noticeable compared to 720p?  Yes it is.  But is it so much more noticeable that twice the amount of effects pushed into a 720p game wouldn't make it look better than the same 1080p game with less graphical effects? 

Take a look at Ryse.  When it was 1080p some things looked better, but overall they were able to make the game look a lot better by dropping resolution by a fourth.  Compare that to the retail release of Infamous Second Son.  The game still looks amazing, but the degredation in quality is a disappointment in my opinion.  I would rather have the quality of graphics they had back in E3 at 9i00p rather t han the current build they have now. 

At the end of the day, 1080p is noticeable over 720p, but it doesn't matter when it takes away from the performance and quality you could otherwise have at a lower resolution.

 

Infamous second son was always 1080p. There was no downgrade in quality. The differnces in lighting created weird effects. Resolution tends to create the most noticable difference in quality. It's best to try and acheive 1080p. Also, Ryse looked noticably worse after the downgrade. The reason they lowered res was because they were barely able to pull of  30fps. Also, if you don't believe me about the whole non-downgrade part with infamous.

It looked worse because the lighting from the recent screens was light bathed due to the position of the sun. Some of the worst misinformation I've seen in a thread in a long time.
