4K is pointless for console gaming since you are probably gaming on a couch 2-5 meters away versus PC where you game 0.5-1 meters away thus you can benefit from every pixel on screen. But it is a waste of money and resources... 1080p will satisfy us for 10-20 years to come.


Well yeah for consoles it's pointless right now. But I'm asking what are peoples thoughts on where this is heading in general. Do you like 4k res or should devs imho concentrate on game effects like more complex art/textures/fog/dof/physics and 720p and 1080p rather than push for 4k?

But it looks like most people just want to thread vomit. I'd rather the fx step up and 1080p be maximized for 5 years anyways but I think PC's will have to push both ends of the spectrum. Seems like PC will be the only graphically interesting platform in the next 2 years imho.
