Low resolutions can obscure detail. So yes, you do see more detail when you increase the resolution, if said assets already exceeded what was visible with a low resolution display. It doesn't matter if my PS4 is rendering Killzone if I am playing it at 240p, for example. You won't see it with such a horrible image quality. There is an argument for higher resolutions for the sole purpose that they improve image quality. This argument is separate from the argument that higher resolutions allow you to also have higher resolution textures, more complex geometry, and more /better assets overall. 

Not really all you did was make the pixel look smaller same as if you made screen tiny it looks better too because the pixel is smaller. That's why small resolution displays are small in size to make pixel small, thats all you did, nothing increased in detail. 

I'm confused on which part of my post you are addressing, when you say, "all you did was make the pixel look smaller." Anyway, since we are talking about pixel density, the size of the display doesn't matter. If you are addressing my Killzone claim, it also has the a priori assumption that we are talking about the same display, otherwise 240p and 1080p are meaningless.
