“Downgrades article Is Often Misleading and Always Obnoxious

[SvennoJ]

I thought that we didn't need new consoles, graphics are good enough, we've hit the point of diminishing returns. So what are all these downgrades I hear about now...

Anyway good to know there's still something to look forward to next gen!
All those bullshot trailers will look glorious in 4K.

Btw is their anything in this world that doesn't look better in advertisements than in reality? It's how advertisements work, yet gamers still want to believe they'll get the picture on the left:


It's hard showing how video games actually look of course.
Judging graphics by stillshots of fast moving games, doesn't work. Pause a blu-ray disc during an action sequence and you'll end up with a blurry picture 9 out of 10 times. Games with motion blur don't look good in actual screenshots.
Judging graphcis by you tube video, even worse. Compression hides existing flaws while adding lots of new ones.
Too bad demos don't exist anymore.
