I would say it is a poorly designed game, the game using cartoon artwork (that looks good enough mind you) get only 900p, while Detroit (from a much smaller studio than S-E) looks much much much better and more taxing.

The two are very different games to be fair; Detroit is almost an interactive film where the highest priority is placed on realistic graphical fidelity; DQ11 is an open world game where graphics are less of a priority and the visuals aim to create a clean, CG-like cartoon look.

As Nuvendil already covered, UE4 is just a demanding engine in general in terms of its feature set, and games made with it tend to run at lower resolutions than you'd typically see on the same hardware.

Perhaps the studios working on with UE4 also matters. Crackdown 3, Sea of Theives, Days Gone, Gears 4 and Gears 5 look great with high resolutions.

3rd party games using UE4 tend to be less impressive. Although DQ11 on PS4 looks solid. I feel PS4 fans over react when a game isnt 1080p.
