Blu Ray is a niche market because the vast majority dont give a shit or notice the difference in resolution. I certainly dont see the difference between upscaled DVD and BR which is part of the reason I dont buy the format. Im sure its better and preferred but near the bottom of things needed when it comes to entertainment. Sony fanboys wouldnt care about it and Xbox fanboys would care if the consoles were reversed. Gamers dont even care as seen by the lack of interest in PC gaming compared to consoles.

I even played CS 1.6 on 800*600 to get better, because I felt my aiming improved with it.

I'd rather pay $100 more dollars to play Halo, Forza, Gears and Titanfall. Your perceptionof better is very relative/personal and you should keep that in mind.

I said inferior hardware. I never said PS4 is better than xbone I did said MULTIPLATS are better (forgot to said tech/resolution wise)

Does it have better hardware? The answer is yes as multiplats and developers have shown.

Saying resolution doesn't matter too much goes against the very fabric of our reasoning for upgrading any piece of entertainment device. See a 720p TV but you can comfortably afford a 85" 4K TV? "Resolution doesn't matter". You have $2,500 to comfortably plop down on a gaming rig. You could choose a single GTX 600 over dual sli GTX Titans because "resolution doesn't matter". You wish the Xbox One would've used dvd's as their main gaming medium as the Xbox 360 did because at the end of the day "resolution doesn't matter"... :-/

When people say that phrase, you in essence go against EVERYTHING in us that propels us to break boundaries, to push the limits of technology. All for what, your "fanaticism" for a company making technologically inferior hardware to its opponents, ON PURPOSE?!

Every console generation, the promise of better graphics is the single most compelling reason people upgrade to the next gen (8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit, 64-bit, etc.), and some of you are SERIOUSLY trying to make an argument that we should plop down ANY amount of money for a next gen console, and just totally ignore the overall value to its competitors because..."resolution doesn't matter"?  That's utterly ridiculous...*smh*

Ok... Ryse is still the best looking game on the next gen consoles and it is on the inferior hardware.

To be honest I would prefer the PS4 versions of multiplatform games to match the 720p or 900p visuals but instead increase graphic fidelity with more onscreen detail etc. I think developers are short-changing the ps4 by simply uprezing the graphics. I'd like to see more onscreen buildings, characters etc on ps4.

I remember playing games on ps2, gamecube and original xbox and the xbox had more detail. In an fps game it could be extra buildings in the distance, better textures on the ground, better clouds or explosions. Just stuff that added to the immersion.

My main tv is a 1080p 3D LCD set and before it was a 720p plasma set. I can't tell the difference in resolution from where I sit. 60fps is clearly better than 30fps though.

I would prefer they used the ps4 extra power for higher frame rates or more detailed graphics personally.

I'm going to use your words here:

"Your perception of better is very relative/personal and you should keep that in mind."

Ryse is the best looking game for you, Killzone Shadow Fall is for me. We both wouldn't be wrong to say that but is hard to compare them because they are different games in a difference genre if they were multiplats it would be a more fair comparison.

Of course resolution matters, the only people who say otherwise own a console that is no capable of hitting 1080p without sacrificing fps or something else. So they proceed to tell themselves that resolution doesn't matter or that gameplay>resolution, basically anything that would help them sleep at night.

Genre doesn't have anything to do with discussion between KZ and Ryse, because both target realism. If they were multiplats is not the right answer because most games developed exclusively to X1 reveal higher graphic fidelity than the ones produced to be multiplat.
