| Dulfite said: Well I think 3rd parties would be happy because they could cut development costs by primarily making the games for weaker devices with some upscaled benefits (on the cheap) for Xbox/PS. Right now they produce very expensive games for those two and then dumb them down for Switch, but do it backwards and they now spend less to develop the games. The only people that would be bothered are the 1% of gamers that care about water reflections looking pretty. |
I'm currently playing Ghost of Tsushima an it's such a beautiful game, I push constantly on the photo button but to be honest, ultimately, playing the game (i.e. moving even if it's just riding through the scenery) you will not notice if the shadows are dynamic or have a high resolution or if the light reflections are on high or just medium quality. I don't even see a significant difference between 4k and 1080p (I play it on both kinds of TV's). The little details are indeed only for the 1% that care about it (unfortunately, they are also the loudest on internet).
And to round it out, personally, I don't feel that The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an uglier game than Ghost of Tsushima. Surely, technically it's much uglier but from an artistic point of view and how I perceive the game (with my eyes), it's not uglier, it just has a different graphic style.
