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."
"The Spain-based indie games publisher Firenut Games and Granada-based (Spain) indie games developer Trigger the Monster, today announced with great joy and thrill that their dark fantasy adventure/management game “Search of Light” (AKA SOL), is now available for PC (via Steam) and consoles (PS5, PS4, and the Nintendo Switch)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
Game Rant participates in the Megaton Musashi World Cup, checking out the game a little bit beforehand and winning the first round match.
Feral Cat Den return with Nirvana Noir, a sequel to Genesis Noir centering around two different universes, and it truly feels like a bigger bang.
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.
