@red_city The whole point of this article was to showcase the fact that soon, very soon, 4K will be as cheap as HDTV's. It will become the standard, as HD did.
@Stebsis Hey man, I agree with you. I would go as far as to say I play my consoles more than my PC. As long as the hardware has fun games, I'm down to buy it. I'm just saying that people who use exclusives to justify their underpowered hardware versus PC are using flawed logic.
It's the monologue of those who are wrong, those who need to make rationalizations for their decisions, including something as trivial as video game hardware.
@untouchables111 I'm sorry, but are you saying that if you buy a $3,000 PC in 2013, that its completely mediocre in 2014? You know nothing about PC hardware.
A $3K PC would last you at least 5 years, guaranteed. Do some research.
I can't believe there are so many people in the comments who are against technological advancements in image quality. But I'm not surprised, when standard definition was replaced with Hi-Def, the masses groaned on about how there's not that big of a difference, and they don't need 'all these extra pixels', never minding the fact that they had no first-hand experience with the technology, hadn't seen it with their own eyes.
You guys are doing the same thing with 4K. You're taking the current 'superior' resolution and asking yourself 'why would I need better than this? It looks great!', without having any idea what 4K even looks like. Of course it's incredibly expensive right now, but at one point the price-range on HDTV's was outrageous, and guess what? They went down, dramatically, same as the widescreen TV's before them, and the bigscreen TV's before them.
4K will do the same as the technology advances, and will become the standard by which we enjoy our entertainment. Anyone who argues otherwise is a simpleton, plain and simple.
@MooncalfReviews The current-gen is having a really hard time keeping up with anything that releases on the PC, it's been like that for a pretty long time now. How can you say that a higher framerate is a bad thing?
30 FPS is crap when you're used to running every game at 60FPS, the fact that you would try to argue otherwise is sort of astounding.
@Stebsis I've played a ton of great games on console just the same as you.. I've also played a ton of great games on PC too. The point you're trying to make is subjective, therefore irrational.
Exclusives don't determine fun, and it's sad that the bigger companies have brainwashed people into believing that exclusives are a GOOD thing.
@murph85 I can tell a huge difference between 720p and 1080p, if you can't then I'm sorry you can't appreciate the difference in resolutions. I don't care what 'scientific evidence' you pull up on the internet to refute this claim, I know the difference, as do many people. To imply there is no difference is just.. wow.
Yes, I think people are going to notice a difference between 1080p and 4K. I've seen it myself, it looks unbelievable.
People are saying the exact same things about HD-to-4K that people said about SD-to-HD back when HD was still new. They're saying that the difference can't possibly be THAT much better, without knowing anything about the hardware, without having first-hand experience with the technology. And just like before, 4K will dominate the industry and become the standard by which we enjoy our entertainment.
The fact is, if you haven't seen 4K, then you have no business commenting on its potential. I have, and it looks absolutely fantastic. Imagine taking 1080p, and nearly quadrupling it. That's 4K.
@KBABZ I disagree. SD to HD was such a giant leap forward for visuals, and I heard TONS of people saying they didn't 'need' HD and that it was a waste of money, never minding the far superior resolution.
This is taking 1080p and nearly quadrupling it, and you seem to think it won't be that much better. Again, I disagree.
