What they are doing on the collection is a minor miracle. If Halo 2A runs at 900p, are we really caring that much?
Not this Halo nerd. An OG Xbox game that looks that amazing running on X1? Please.
The fixation on the 1080p number is ridiculous, in my opinion. I'd much rather have the frame rate and all the additional features the new consoles offer than care about 1080p vs 900 or whatever. Put the power in AI and lighting and environmental upgrades and number of characters on screen etc. It matters to me absolutely zero.
The people screaming for 1080 at all costs are going to hold back games. You;re going to get the limited number of animations on screen at once and the corridor shooters that can afford the textures vs. living worlds and advanced AI if you demand the sacrifices. And that goes for PS4 as well. It's much easier to hyper-texture Drake's face laying on the ground when it's the only thing rendered than it is having him in an open-worldish type environment. I'd sacrifice a wrinkle or two on his world-weary face if it gave me more realistic, immersive environments or incredible set pieces.
Can't we all just get along and play our games in peace?
