Where's it going?
Anyone know why?
Something so small

Entered that sky
And continues to fly

Enlightening, right?

I want to believe in the butterfly effect ... But your posts seem to remove any hope. But keep up the good work.

Haha stop pushing?! If it were up to me I would MANDATE that every game be in 1080p. The PS4 has an R9 270, and that thing can run ANY game in 1080p. Maybe at low settings in crappy games like AC Unity, but low in 1080p looks far better than medium in 900p.

Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

[Prediction Made 6/18/2014]

It has to be something top secret. It doesn't come up on Google.

Unfortunately the 1080p marketing buzz seems to have come full circle to bite itself on the arse.

It was so effective in convincing gamers that a game is worthless if it's isn't 1080p, that it seems devs will make unnecessary sacrifices just to hit the magic 1920x1080.

But the reality is most consumers don't care about 1080p or know if they're looking at it.

I doubt its a significant number of people buying games on pixel count, certainly not on home consoles. When Sony really wants to push graphics they will sacrifice resolution. The Order for example is not 1080p primarily for visual polish. But maybe they'll keep making games in letterbox, its clear people love that.

I think they should push them to make 60fps.

1080p to 900p is not very noticeable but 30 to 60fps is a huge difference. The 60 fps is the definitive version no questions asked. Not getting it would be gimping your game.

TBH Sony should force developers to make 60 fps (or 30 in case of games that do NOT have fast gameplay like shooters/racers have. Turn based rgps can have 25fps I would not mind.)

Everything else like a rock having twice as many polygons as the same rock in the last installment of the same series is nonsense. Looks bad anyway and will look even worse in 2 years so dont focus on that.

I want fast fluid games clear sharp images. I dont want blury stuttering with focus on realism.
If you have good looking art style that kinda nulifies e.g 720p then go for it.

For me its
Sufficient framerate for the type of game it is (the faster the game the higher the fps should be) clean looking visuals and far behind something like polycount. As long as the textures are great (does not need to be high res just needs to fit the game and make sense in the game world. Games where 50% of the textures look great and the other 50% look like PS2 textures are just ugly)
