I highly doubt any high tech new game would run good at 4k on good looking settings, it'd have to cost like $1000 hardware wise or cut down hard on graphics like anti alias/filtering/texture resolutions etc.
I don't see 4k be used even in PC gaming standards until at least like 2020, and even then I think a lot of devices will still run 720/1080 etc.
Game demos at E3 might have used 4k this year but those had like minimal of like a $4000 system to back it up with quad SLI/crossfire etc etc.
For next-gen blu rays and bigscreen TV's I can see it happen sooner (maybe some revised versions of the xbox/PS4 after a year or 2), but not for actual 3d high-end graphics just yet.
You can get alright 4K TVs for not a whole lot of change right now.

Maybe it won't happen and if it does it won't be untill later on in the consoles life I would imagine.Originally Posted by D2Dahaka
The point I was making is that some where saying the xbox one was finding it difficult to throw out 1080p resolution so I pointed out that it was ready and capable of producing 4k should developers wish to utilise that feature. I don't think 1080 will be an issue as Microsoft would not be that short sighted. It's what the developers can do with the hardware that matters.

More reason to believe that this "next generation" is going to be dated and replaced so quickly. Those 4K TV's will be everywhere within a few years. We are going to be stuck with game consoles that simply do not have the power to take advantage of them. I dont see them lasting nearly as long as the 360 and PS3 did.... Imagine if the 360 and ps3 released with the ability to only play 480p. That is what this next generation feels like to me...Originally Posted by ShiftySamurai
I don't even understand are we talking about the difference between xbone and ps4 or xbox360 and Ps4.Originally Posted by ShartRelief
All I know at this point there isn't an option that's best for everybody. There are different platforms for people to choose and as long as they buy the product because it has features that they know they'll enjoy I really dont think you can go wrong.
I don't see 4K TV going to most households like flat screens. It really makes no difference to your eye except a big screen, and you shouldn't sit too near big screens or your eyes get sore, and that means these screens won't be in small rooms and people wouldn't sit too near in a big room so with the distance & TV size, you would see human-eye 720p-1080p again. All what 4K new is, is nothing more a bigger screen with equaled resolution of the standard TVs.Originally Posted by jook13
Another word to this thread: Why care about graphics? Is the gaming environment changing more and more to a show with less and less button presses and open world (like RYSE)? Did people moan about Minecraft graphics? (Almost) everyone loved it. Did Microsoft told anything that "Next Generation" is "Next Gen Power"? Aren't they focusing on "Entertainment" and "Innovative" instead? Was Nintendo focusing on "Power" too? Nope, they were focusing on kids, creativity and fun. The only big console manufacturer is $ony which improvement focus is "Power".
Really guys, games (especially in the 80's) were here for entertaining and to gain new interest & fun. Nowdays, people bash about 3D games that the graphics suck even it is 100 times better than the first pac-man. I would like to hear from people, which they want more in a game: More content & scenery, or better graphics.
Well said. A gamer who prioritizes graphics is a gamer who I pay no mind to.Originally Posted by Blastergamer
"Especially in the 80's" though? The 90's & early 00's was the golden age for gaming man!
Mainstream "AAA" games, yes, unfortunatelyIs the gaming environment changing more and more to a show with less and less button presses![]()
