I appreciate this thread, but I don't think the title and OP match up. This seems more like fidelity vs. performance, not so much fidelity vs. innovation.

I see what you’re saying, but the purpose of this thread isn’t about whether you rock-steady 60FPS or a nice 4k resolution, it’s about whether you prefer to see games that push what their respective hardware is capable of to the point of needing lower FPS (20FPS in the case of OoT, 30FPS in the case of RDR2 as examples).

Hmm not sure how to convey this… let me see if this new title does a better job.

OK, I see now. 

That's more difficult to answer, because there are different ways to push the envelope. I wouldn't ask a developer to tank performance for extra strands of hair or volumetric lighting, but I wouldn't mind if they sacrificed performance (to a degree) for something that greatly enhances the way the player interacts with the game. Tears of the Kingdom is the perfect example. On Switch, it's 30 fps and 900p, yet it boasts some of the most mechanically and physically audacious gameplay of all time. To me, that is a good trade-off.
