Why Ryse? Until Dawn looks better now and The Order 1886 and Driveclub

This is the dumbest comment I’ve ever seen. 1080p is a “placebo?”

Calling OTHER people uneducated? lmfao. Clearly you have no idea what resolution does/is/means/implies.

To begin with, resolution is the amount of pixels being rendered on screen, and upscaling is NOT a supplement for internal res, as the pixels are approximated and as such cause a blurriness and a loss of detail, but that’s beside the point.

In addition to more color, details, etc. resolution also adds an anti-aliasing effect the higher it goes. 4k resolution’s biggest gain over 1080p isn’t even about “seeing” more detail, but about the overwhelming reduction in shimmering, jagged edges, and flickering in the distance.

Saying 1080p is a “placebo” (as compared to a lower res) is like saying “HD is a placebo.”

no it’s not…it’s just that some people are more susceptible of noticing the difference than others. The common people can’t tell the difference between mono and stereo but you can’t trick an audiophile that a 5.1 is a 7.1 surround sound. The average joe would have settled for a photo taken by a handphone but a photographer want the full uncompressed RAW. It really depends on your standards. If you have low standards or is just a regular joe, of course you can’t see the difference and think everything is placebo.

The ps4 most certainly has reached th epoint where they have to tradeoff stuff like framerate for 1080p and graphical effects, don’t kid yourself. The ps4 isn’t a graphical powerhouse. It’s not even 50% stronger than the xbox one (even thoug hspecs show the gpu to be, that 50% extar cu doesn’t translate to a 50% increase in performance). If graphics and resolution are all people care about buy a darn pc and have 1600p/4k resolution with ultra graphical settings. gamers are so spoiled these days, I loved playing games on my old nintendo and still do, as long as the game looks halfway decent, who cares if it runs at 720/900p, these things aren’t supercomputers, they’re hardware that was already obsolete when they came out.

I hate to break it to you, pony. Ryse and now Quantum Break have won the siggraph award for best real time graphics. Infamous was ver mentioned. The question you should be asking is why is this game is running 1080p on both consoles if ps4 is supposed to be 50% more powerful…. lol I think we all know the answer to that. Sony has once again duped its fanboys into believing power and performance is the thing. IF those numbers are true Sony’s games should be 60fps but they aren’t.

HAHAHAHA!

Halo MCC is just a remaster and you can’t compare a racing game to a TPS/FPS. I’m sorry.

Halo 5 is a FPS and doesn’t run at 1080p. Here is the difference…
