is there a particular reason why people are bothering with pixel counting on a trailer with no actual gameplay footage?

Because why not?

gotta be shitting me...people counting pixels now?

LOL, this is pathetic

Wow, just.. wow. Is this what has become of this new generation? This obsession of whether something is 720 or 1080?

Uhh, there's tons of gameplay footage. Wow. And cutscenes are important too anyway. They're in engine anyway.

Really? direct me to a single frame of the video that shows the actual first person view with a UI.

first person view camera does not equate to gameplay.

I have.

The only post i could find that directly proclaims the PS4 wil have a better resolution is from Porcupeth.

"1080p vs 800p confirmed :3"

Which quite frankly seems like a joke post given the smiley.

Other than that Nem and fps were discussing parity clauses. Neither mention PS4 has 1080p but they do imply it should have a better version. Far from a resolution war. In any case you seemed to have an issue with the OP, whats wrong with counting pixels? Some people are interested in this stuff. Should we all stop dicussing things we actually like to talk about?

Wow trucks already posted a warning and people simply ignore. I still don't understand why people enter into a thread they have no interest in at all.

Is this going to happen in every graphical discussion/resolution thread?

This is like making a thread about niche game and 80% of the people who come and post say stuff like "Nobody cares" wtf?

Everytime I see this thread, the resolution increases xD

 Maybe it will eventually reach 1080p!
