Is AA needed now that we’re moving towards 4k?

And here’s what Digital Foundry had to say about InFamous:SS’s AA:

Also worthy of note is the implementation of state-of-the-art anti-aliasing, believed to be a variant of SMAA T2X, as found in Crysis 3. This is one of the best post-process anti-aliasing techniques we've seen, combining a new take on MLAA with a temporal element.

We will likely still need AA at 8k.
An increase in resolution, does reduce the problem.

Hopefully I can complain about 8k soon.

I wish there was an option to turn AA off in Xenoblade 2, and also remove the sharpness filter on portable. That - alone - would make for a more pleasant experience to me.

The higher the resolution and pixel density the less aliasing is noticeable.

 

For instance, I have a 4k 27" monitor. Playing without aliasing is sometimes the better option for having a sharper image.

I prefer Motion blur and putting the rest into performance or visuals

Hybrid approaches will be the way forward as it tries to give us the best of both worlds, performance and image quality.

For me it depends on the game, if it's a hyper realistic game with lots of fine details, then turning off FXAA is preferred.
But something that is a little more cartoony that doesn't have lots of fine details like Overwatch? Looks better with FXAA in my opinion.

Regarding Nintendo & AA, it's not like the Switch can't do good AA; Digital Foundry have praised the AA solutions used in Switch titles like Mario + Rabbids and Thumper.
