By Eric Kain "Call it what you will: Resolution-gate; the Great Console War of 2013/2014; bloody nonsense.
Whatever you call it, I’ve decided that the entire fiasco over the disparate resolutions in cross-platform games on Xbox One and PS4 is pretty much entirely unimportant."
TopSpin 2K25 Review - After a very long hiatus, TopSpin is back! Can Hangar 13 bring the venerable tennis series back to relevance?
Say what you like, but virtual farming is big business. And that means the release of Farm Tycoon onto the Xbox ecosystem should appeal.
Almost unbelievably, Days Gone has just turned 5 years old after launching on April 26th, 2019. What's changed in that time?
Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.
Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.
I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one, this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.
Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't !
It does matter. Especially if the more expensive console is the weaker one. And let's be honest, if the One was the... one whose 3rd party games have the better resolution, MS fans would be all over the place. Also, most of the people that suddenly don't care about resolution are the ones who used to make fun of PS3 users saying that COD looked better on the 360
This resolution thing is getting tiresome. It's true that resolution matters, but there is at least 5 articles per day at N4G about it.
The title should read! "Why Resolution doesn't matter now!", because now it has a damaging effect to the "Ego" of certain individuals, who know who they are, because right now their heads have taken on the shape of deflated balloons.
Last gen it was coupled with dropped frame rates the talk of the town! The life of the party! And the Butt of many a jokes for those who were deemed unfortunate enough to support/own the console that was repeatedly cursed with this unsightly malady! New this affliction has mutated beyond what its effect caused last gen, with more pronounced symptoms and extreme discomfort. My advice, perhaps it's time to see a specialist!
Now it doesn't matter but last generation it was beaten to death PS3 VS 360 sorry it does matter PS4 is 100$ cheaper with superior hardware the sales speak for them self.
Resolution is but one piece of the overall puzzle. Sure a better resolution helps, but I have played amazing games on previous generation hardware that still played and looked great, even if it was only 720p. There is no reason why a game that is running at say 720 or 900p can't still be a great game. I would rather have a slightly lower resolution with a rock solid framerate over a few extra thousand pixels.
So while it does help that the PS4 can do more with what they have, it's the exclusives that are going to convince a person to go one way or the other.
