With a 117" screen (at home) I can tell you the difference between 720p and 1080p isnt that big that some of you are trying to imply


Screen of that size and only having 720P or 1080P? Everything is going to look like crap.

Why are games on x1 900p that's a weird number

One of the main reasons I am moving to PS4 is because I am tired of blurry 720p and even sub-720p games on current gen.

 


Get a PC? or use your laptop?

There is also no guarantee that the PS4 will retain 1080P for *every* game after launch either.

From Left to Right

720p - 900p - 1080p

 

 

 

1080p makes a huge difference.

One of the main reasons I am moving to PS4 is because I am tired of blurry 720p and even sub-720p games on current gen.

1080p on PS4 will be glorious and should be mandatory for every next-gen game.

 

It should also be noted that the bigger your TV is, the more noticable the difference is. I play on a 60" LCD so 1080p is very important to me. 


Well... That is great and all, but both systems upscale to 1080p, so you should actually be comparing a 720p native upscaled to 1080p to a 1080p native  picture if you actually wanted to see the difference people will be facing.  Truth is, most people cant tell the difference between an upscaled image and a native image, so personally I dont see resolution as that big of a deal.

PC resolution, 1600x900 was quite popular at the turn of the century...
Actually no, it used to be 1600x1200, now cropped to 16:9 for your convenience.

You get a scaling factor of 1.2 to 1080p as opposed to 1.5 from 720p, better results if you can't reach 1080p, you skip 30% of the pixels that need to be rendered for 1080p.

That's what I did with Crysis2 today, switch between resolutions in windowed mode, take screenhot, resample the native res picture to 1080p

Rendered at 720p, 900p and 1080p native, all displayed as it would look on 1080p


Ofcourse many people have never seen a native resolution picture coming out of a console. Many tv's have overscan or use a 1366x768 panel. Setting an 1080p LCD screen to dot by dot mode with a native 1080p picture simply looks much better.

You overestimate upscaling.

pretty sure it also matter how big your television screen is... 720 is just fine if your using a 32 inch or smaller, anything bigger, I recommend 1080.

Besides, all 3 consoles are capable of 1080, its just whether or not the developer wants to spend the extra time/money on achieving that quality

OP looks fake, majority of games this gen have been 720p and they have looked fine, as does the Xbox launch line up.

I think the big issue is that a static image doesnt necessarily translate to a moving image... well thats what I guess... i have no idea really...lol


Eh, I'd just disregard everything in the OP tbh.


i'd advise him to disregard you. 

http://www.dualshockers.com/2013/10/10/battlefield-4-on-ps4-and-xbox-one-how-it-should-look-at-900p-and-720p-part-2-the-differences/

here is a link showing many, many examples. do you have any proof that this "looks fake" other than your bias? if you are going to call out the OP in 2 post, atleast be able to back your claims up as you certainly lost all your credibility in this thread with your previous posts.

other examples, i engourage the auther to put them in the OP. 

same order -720p - 900p - 1080p

 

 

This post does two things for me. It contradicts yourself on the 1st page when you said the images were not zoomed in. because on the article it is clearly zoomed in parts of and overall screen shot.

Second it confirms that te res is a non issue for me. The res difference what I take from this adds more textures to minor details of a frame. Details that you need to zoom into in order to notice. So on a big TV were images are essentially "zoomed in" it would be more noticable than smaller TV's. personally I play on a 24 inch so I would not see a difference.

And most would not be able to appreciate the changes. in numbers of colors and  minor calculations. the differences are HUGE on paper. as for sitting in front of a TV playing a fast pace video game. those differences are reduced to small things that you can't see but remains in the back of your head for those that care about it that much.


these are crops, if they are zoomed in then i am mistaken. however, there s a difference.
