Why Resolution Doesn't Doesn't Matter

Gamerevolution "I can understand why some people are over the conversation about resolution, like Erik Kain at Forbes. Every console generation is the same-old "this console vs. this console: this one looks derp better", and now that aggregate sites and imageboards are all the rage, we're treated to multiple screenshot comparisons throughout the week."

I wonder why we didn't have articles like this last generation?

rodiabloalmeida4498d ago (Edited 4498d ago )

New hardware + 720p = unacceptable.
On old consoles, 720p is reasonably acceptable.

That's the reason.

FITgamer4498d ago (Edited 4498d ago )

Edit: They matter, but they don't matter?

dantesparda4498d ago (Edited 4498d ago )

Man, the MS fanboy are pushing this fake excuse hard! Remember folks, res doesnt matter, until its 1080p on the X1 then it matters like all hell again. And 60fps is king accept for when its a sub 30fps exclusives than fps isnt the most important. They just keep making up excuses. Its pathetic!

lemoncake4498d ago

Lack of 4k all around is most disapointing, these consoles arent built to last very long this gen. All 3 cheapped out wanting to make profit from the console sales not just the game sales like it used to be.

dantesparda4498d ago (Edited 4498d ago )

Res, dont matter? then stick to a PS3/360 then, why pay $500 for a X1?

Ryse 900p looks better than killzone 1080p.
That's why resolution doesn't matter so much

Boody-Bandit4498d ago (Edited 4498d ago )

Because it doesn't.
I've played them both extensively. Killzone is a much better overall looking game (scope, depth, textures, effects, more complex game mechanics, higher amount of information on screen at any given time, better performance (60-40fps and not 30-12fps).

KZ is way more graphic intense than Ryse. The most important aspect is KZ plays better. Ryse is an extremely simplistic engine that doesn't evolve enough throughout the duration of the game. Other than more dramatic execution. But once you seen them once you seen them. They added nothing to the level of immersion of the overall game. I only used them to slow down big battles.

On topic:
Resolution matters.

imuze4498d ago

don't lay out your stupidity on the net for us to shred you.

lemoncake4498d ago

Ryse is by far the overall best graphically looking game out atm, nothing comes close. Kz has some nice moments but thats it.

IRNMUNKEY4498d ago

Also Killzone MP isn't 1080p its actually nearer 720p but you'll never find that out on this site as it being buried

cozomel4498d ago (Edited 4498d ago )

Oh boy here we go with even more fanboy stupidity, Ryse is not better Not that looking than KZ, not even close. Ryse is choppy, with choppy animations, repetitive as all hell. And very monochrome. You fanboys wish Ryse looked as good as you claim, Infamous looks alot better than Ryse And irnmunkey Ryse is only 900p with plenty below 30fps dips and stupid AI

rafaman4498d ago

Let me tell you something about Killzone, from an Eurogamer article that popped up yesterday, but I can´t find it anymore on N4g. Why is that?

"In the single-player mode, the game runs at full 1080p with an unlocked frame-rate (though a 30fps cap has been introduced as an option in a recent patch), but it's a different story altogether with multiplayer. Here Guerrilla Games has opted for a 960x1080 framebuffer, in pursuit of a 60fps refresh. Across a range of clips, we see the game handing in a 50fps average on multiplayer. It makes a palpable difference, but it's probably not the sort of boost you might expect from halving fill-rate."

http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

----------------------

Now, let me tell you about Ryse:

"Whether you're storming the beaches of Britannia or exploring Rome itself, you'll be stunned by how much better Ryse looks than anything else you've ever played."

http://www.gamesradar.com/r...

"Ryse might just be the best looking game we've ever seen on a console. Developer Crytek has a long history of creating stunning looking titles in the Crysis series, but this really looks a cut above what we've witnessed elsewhere. Lighting reflects off armour beautifully, fire effects are a joy to behold while the art style is simply lovely. If this is what the next-generation is capable of, we're more than happy with the results.

Players will be taking charge of Marius Titus, a Roman general and all round badass warrior. Ryse

"Most of you will agree with me if i say Ryse: Son of Rome is the "Best Looking Next-Gen Game" on either consoles."

http://www.gamepur.com/revi...

Also, IGN says Ryse is the best looking too.

just check this IGN video on Youtube and they will say it is the best . ;)

Star Citizen Creator: “The Best-Looking Next-Gen Game is Ryse”
Crave Online: "We agree".

http://www.craveonline.com/...

"As you can tell from our review for Ryse: Son of Rome, we very much enjoyed it. However, I thought I would make another article just to restate how great the game itself looks. From my experience so far with next generation games, Ryse: Son of Rome stands above the rest graphically. Due to the controversy of the game being 900p rather than the previously announced 1080o, many might be surprised to learn that the game looks as good as it does."

So, those arent my words... go argue with the media, not me ;)

lemoncake4498d ago

Killzone isnt 1080p , they lied. At least microsoft kept it real with Ryse and said it as it was and didn't hide it.

These articles were everywhere last Gen at the start.

StarshipZero4498d ago (Edited 4498d ago )

Saying resolution doesn't matter is as ridiculous as saying a smooth frame rate, textures, lighting, anti aliasing or particle effects don't matter.

dantesparda4498d ago

Havent you heard? it only matters what the X1 can do.

Chaostar4498d ago

I think people will miss the double negative in the title :)

Destrania4498d ago

Haha, yeah I didn't catch that the first time.

Bathyj4498d ago

Soooooo, it DOES matter now?

I'm so confused. :(

Destrania4498d ago

The double negative of 'doesn't' means it does matter. And yes, it DOES matter lol.

Bathyj4498d ago (Edited 4498d ago )

Why I hate articles that start with the word "Why"

EDIT
Hey! "Xbox Two" I made that up.

-Foxtrot57d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose58d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE58d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername57d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy58d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde58d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8658d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8658d ago (Edited 58d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300058d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle58d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7758d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
