As someone who has played PC games in 4k, I would love if GT7 had a 4k mode. Problem is, the current PS4 simply can't output 4k resolution through the HDMI. I thought it was a software issue but I think Sony would've patched it in by now if it was possible.
Playing games in 4k is incredibly striking. Things are incredibly crisp and detailed but to me the coolest part is that anti aliasing is no longer necessary. Even without AA at all, there's almost a complete lack of shimmering or jagged edges. You really, and I mean really have to look for it to see it. Even when you're not in motion, it's very hard to spot.
I personally love graphics to be clear and sharp above almost all else. I honestly hate it when graphics aren't as clear as they could be. Film grain drives me insane but even worse is poor image quality. This generation is a huge leap over last generation when it comes to image quality, but some games are better than others depending on their AA solution. But if 4k ever because standard for video games as 1080p has, pretty much every game is gonna have great image quality, and I will be a happy man.
PS4 can't handle it , plus as
@GTPorsche said , i doubt they would waste time on that , they should just focus on refining and updating tracks and cars for now.
Not necessarily true. I've ran Grid 2 in 4k at 30 fps on a PC that's much weaker than PS4 and was even able to put it on the high graphics settings preset and the quality of the graphics is incredible in Codemasters PC games. Same story with Dirt 3, F1 2013 and on medium with Dirt Rally and Grid Autosport.
Codemasters are beasts when it comes to optimizing PC ports but it's still a PC port. Much easier to optimize a console game so if they could do 4k 30 fps, GORGEOUS graphics on weaker hardware, I'm sure PD could do it on PS4.
Your not supposed to sit that close to a 60" television.
4K right now, and even in the next few years, is mainly a novelty for those that can afford it. I don't see there being many blockbuster great games, that are exclusively only 4K and for PS4.5. It's just such a small percentage of the market. Same goes if xb1 comes with a 4K console.
Same kind of goes for VR, although I think there will be a lot more people using that then buying expensive 4K televisions. I see both of these as novelties. I'm sure they both will be great, and are really cool. There just not enough people going to drop that kind of money, where it's going to affect the market and the way games are made. 👍
You're also not supposed to sit 10 feet from it either. A 60 inch TV screen has a height of 29.4 inches. The optimum viewing distance of any 16:9 screen is 3 times the height. Doing the math in my head, I get 88.2 inches which is 7ft 4.2 inches. 4 feet is a little close but it makes much more sense to me to sit close than to sit too far like most people do.
You lose so much when you sit too far especially when it comes to details, and moving forward, the improvements in graphics are going to be all about the details since we're starting to hit a wall when it comes to graphics. Even last gen was starting to get graphics that looked very realistic, and the closer we get to photorealism, the smaller and more subtle the improvements to graphics will get.
4k as well. You won't see the big improvment 4k is over 1080p if you sit too far, so while you laugh at him for sitting too close, I think he's still got it right compared to the people who sit too far (most people who do gaming from a couch). That's why we often see ignorant comments about resolution in games like people claiming there's not a huge difference between 720p and 1080p while the facts prove them wrong.
