| Zkuq said: To be honest, at times it seems like it's still early days for 1080p on consoles too... Last I heard, there were still a lot of games below 1080p on consoles. Also, I don't really understand the push for 4k. It's probably one of the most wasteful ways of improving the graphical quality of games. The processing power 4k requires could probably be used in much better ways. If anything, I'd expect devs to try to keep the resolution lower as long as possible, considering how good 1080p is. The only explanation I can come up with is that 4k is a pretty powerful marketing term. |
This.
I would say 4k is a powerful marketing term but it also takes far less effort than actually tweaking a games build for the Pro/Scorpio. I'm hoping when PS4/XB1 become obsolete, developers will completely ignore 4k as a target and we'll once again need another set of mid gen updates for those who want that extra bit of image clarity.
