Forums - Gaming Discussion - Resolution doesn't sell games, says Far Cry 4 dev - 1080p debate is a "weird echo chamber"

These comments are pointless. People get loud because they don't want to hear their platform's games are being held back. The only reason a company would do so is because one company thinks that resolution DOES matter. Everyone wants their games to run as well as possible. That's just common sense.

I don't care about resolution.. i care about parity..

If they don't push up the resolution..  i demand that everything else in the game are pushed to the limits on the platforms.

If they don't push up the resolution, Give us more foliage, shaders, dynamics.. or a better OVERALL performance.

It's ludacris to gimp the Ps4 version, when it never happened to the 360..

The 360 had more foliage in gameplay then most Ps3 games..

Give us more foliage, Animation etc etc.. 

Ubisoft are definetly doing the patrioatic BS with their Parity.. they are biased..

The Resolution is just an bonus... Why should the Ps4 be on the same level as the XB1? 

Resolution doesn't matter, but still.. the Ps4 can handle more, and it should handle more..

All this crap that we only buys the Ps4 for the Resolution is nothing but false claims, or misunderstood.

We bought the Ps4 because we know it can handle more, and we want more.

The only reason why we pick the: We got higher resolution is because most people are delusional over the damn XB1 Sharpness+Soft filter which

alters the display settings.. which we can do on our tv..  Ps4 is 70% more powerful with the CPGPY unification. there is more to be optimized with the game then just Resolution.

if people care about gameplay? the strongest console can still offer more gameplay..

the gameplay is still processed by the GPU and the CPU.. cut all the Ps4 games down to 720p and trade it in for bigger maps, bigger gameplay..

I know that would never happen.. stop damage control this shit.. UBISOFT..  

Everyone are gimping their own experience just so they can stay Corp-loyal. 

People believes that Power= Resolution..

Well... Power= Graphics, performance, Gameplay etc etc..

if power was only resolution.. there would be no games at all.. just a picture.

Actually, GPU cycles are now as frequent as before, or even slower. If we look at AMD:

  • R9 290/290X_ October 2013
  • HD 7970_ Jan 2012
  • HD 6970_ Dec 2010
  • HD 5870_ Sep 2009
  • HD 4870_ Sep 2008

As you see, there's usually 12 months between each release, with the 390/390 being actually late (thanks to the 20nm problems). And everybody knows that only a very minority of gamers upgrade their GPU with every new release, most wait a couple of gens or more to make the jump, which is the more sensible think to do.

It's also worth noting that, not only are the cycles slower, but the graphical leap with end generation is also less.

In the past, you could get a card as powerful as the last-gen's flagship, for half the price. Now, you'll be lucky to get a 10% or 20% framerate boost over a card of the same price from a year ago.

It seems like we're reaching a plateau in graphics performance.

Indeed.

Manufacturing tech doesn't advance as fast as before, in part because it's getting harder and harder to do it but also because it's becoming so expensive that the jump from one node to another barely makes it profitable.

I agree with him, especially the part about people wanting to play indie games but then turn around and cry about resolution.

Sony's marketing this game, so there is no moneyhat behind this statement.

Yeah, and then theres the argument that 60 fps doesnt sell games aswell. Why not just release pong again? Thats obviously the way to go.
Do they seriously think anyone buys this?

Maybe read what they are actually arguing...

They are saying new experiences and fun gameplay is what makes games great, not resolution or fps.

Let's use an example... So what if two games are releasing, let's say Uncharted/Halo/Zelda or some other highly rated game is releasing at 720p 30fps. And the other one is something like Ride to Hell: Retribution releasing at 4k and 200fps.

Which is the better game?


Welll since were dealing with hypotheticals and you decited to go the extream route couldnt you also argue "what if both systems realeased Uncharted 4 but one was at 480i and one was at 2160p?" Wouldnt the 2160p offer a significant improvement to the experiance? 



He couldn't be more right. I don't think many people with lives are gonna be obsessing much about resolution. It's just us internet nerds who have nothing better to do than spend all day arguing about video games.



This line, right here.

"yet the Resolution Somehow matters"

Just like how the massive budgets put into great visuals for games "somehow matters"

Is Ubisoft intentionally trying to get me to hate them more than EA, or what?
