Alright fine I'm going to build an 8k setup.

roadkillers1440d ago

Why not 16k or 32k? Serious question, I have an N64

SyntheticForm1439d ago

I can't believe some of you.

You're still thinking about 16 and 32k?

I've been at 68 for awhile now.

I can barely see a difference between 1440p and 4k on my 4k 55" TV... is it really worth it upgrading to 8K so soon?

LordoftheCritics1440d ago (Edited 1440d ago )

For projection it makes sense. I watched this with a 1080p projector on a 100inch screen and you can see the differences. Even the supersampled image compared to 1080p looks amazing. 8k really does look sharp and smooth on large screens. Can't imagine what true 8k screens would be like.

Though 4k is more than enough for this gen.

bunt-custardly1439d ago

Move closer to the screen and you will. Distance from screen makes a huge difference to the details.

tombfan1437d ago

I'm pretty close, tho... I think closer would be an eye killer hahahaha i'm like less of 1.5m away from my TV.

phoenixwing1440d ago

i wasn't even convinced enough of 4k for my computer and bought a 2k monitor instead, now they're doing 8k? I think i'm getting old because i can't see the difference and it all feels like marketing tricks

LordoftheCritics1440d ago (Edited 1440d ago )

Simple test. Find a 480p or even 720p resolution picture and open it on your phone. Now open that image on your computer monitor or tv on fullscreen. Blurry on your computer isnt it? Now find the native resolution picture for your tv and fill the screen with it.

So a 4k in big screens look good. So bigger the screen more fidelity is required.

In fact movies are now using Red Monstro (8k) and Alexa 65 (around 6.5k) and IMAX 70MM film is close to 10k.

Also as the audience becomes more visually intelligent, we will notice the differences a lot faster. Like I do.

Realistically we dont need that right now. But to an enthusiast, nothings stopping you. Elon musk is an enthusiast of wanting to normalize space flight like taxis. He's doing it. What matters is what you want to do within this time in your life. I like to chase my enthusiasms.

THRASHMOUTH1439d ago

Damn man, you've got me questioning my own shit...

@Thrashmouth had me chuckling there ...😂😂🤣

Is the industry hurting for money or not?

Hofstaderman1d 5h ago

They belong to XBOX. Its a dog's life....

Chocoburger1d 5h ago

Nice thing they did, but not actually gaming related, not sure why this article was approved. Also strange informing us what game Rare worked on, as if we don't know their legacy.

Tacoboto1d 4h ago

Sorry you hate dog news - here's a game-related headline for you, the latest: "Deathsprint 66 is a hyperviolent freerunner that proves game journos suck at games | Video Gamer"

Yeah we need more headlines like *that* on this site, instead of news about a studio's employee perks.

GaboonViper1d 4h ago

Its actually nice to see a story like this instead of the usual doom and gloom but people still moan, anyhow hope these beautiful doggos have a great life.

Really nice story, kudos to Rare.

I went to look at new apartments and saw only dog parks, no kid parks. We're so screwed.

Damn was hoping for a fantasy setting. Looks futuristic

jznrpg1d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

I think that’s a screensaver if you look to the right it looks more like a fantasy game and so does the concept art leaked earlier. Who knows though

phoenixwing9h ago

Unless that structure/pillar thingy in the right picture is long forgotten technology it's futuristic.

Name Last Name1d 8h ago (Edited 1d 8h ago )

Another shooter? Yawn. Thought the prevous concept looked more fantasy.

just_looken18h ago

With there same look on the right a arena setting this might be live service game #5 from sony

So a live service shooter like concord.....

StormSnooper17h ago

It looks like a fantasy game on the right screen. You are looking at a screensaver.

Goodguy011d 8h ago

Been looking forward to what they have next. Looks interesting.

Eonjay1d 8h ago

Really excited to see them release an original IP

GaboonViper1d 4h ago

Looks like my dream of them remaking Metal Gear Solid is over, still cant wait to see what they are cooking up.

Unions in gaming are necessary fr fr

montebristo1d 6h ago

I used to be anti-union, it kills productivity, investment and turns product mediocre. Their games suck anyways though so what was lost? Might as well get their people paid until they are dissolved.

shinoff21831d 6h ago

Unions are necessary regardless of how you feel. You know how fked the working class would be without them. As if we're not already.

montebristo1d 5h ago

No they aren’t, regardless of how you feel. Unions make zero sense for skill based labor. They are for people who press a button every 10 seconds on an assembly line. “working class” is a made up term. I don’t care about corporations or developers, I just want good games lol. Killing your incentives to appease the lowest common denominator doesn’t lead to great games imo

montebristo23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

I wasn’t trying to be offensive if I came off that way. The Union is an old mentality and I can see their usefulness but also the danger. We’re in the age of AI and robots and skill based labor. Unions can be dangerous these days. You could replace your entire workforce in one move. Checkmate. Look to the kiosk replacing workers in the 20 dollar minimum wage era.

Well run businesses don’t need unions. If you need a Union that business won’t survive anyway. Unless it’s propped up by the government with corporate welfare (which is the real issue). If you’re not going to spend some on your workers (Amazon, Google) then your welfare is cut off. No tax breaks. All you put together don’t match their wealth and resources, the union is a traditional memory at this point and counterproductive with this new enemy we face. They need a flying elbow from the top ropes. And by “working class is a made up term” I just mean we’re not a class system and even CEO Bobby Kotick puts in a days work lol. Or did.. It’s just a vague term that doesn’t mean anything no offense lol. People say “middle class” but that can change quick right? Up or down. That’s not a “class system”.
