I actually don't like this. Eventually those games will start running like shit and they'll say: well, choose framerate, and the game will look like 7th gen.

Consoles have fixed amounts of power, once they try too much on something something else will be compromissed, that's how it is and how opmization is born making those things run games well above what could once be done with that amount of power, it this start getting common you can be sure it'll means an overall quality drop, as we can't take a part of the console and trade for a better one to make up for it like on PCs.

Mark my words.

Agreed. That's why I posted it. I just wondered how many people would take a possitive from this but not look at what it could create long term. People who choose the higher quality graphics over a slightly better framerate will have a disadvantage in multiplayer and so eventually everyone will lower the quality of graphics, making the choice pointless. Developers will no longer need to optimise their code because all they have to do is say 'we've given you a choice, what more can we do?'
