There's not a lot of 4K source material that wouldn't be an awful upscale job. And no, on gaming it would look awful. Even the best scaler couldn't do that much with a 1080p source. It would look like so much horse vomit. Especially not in a 500 dollar middling piece of hardware.
People need to stop with the "they can still wait" stuff. We're using 7 and 8 year old hardware that wasn't cutting edge when it came out. They can't wait. They've already waited too long. Everything coming out these days is a trade off between playability and muddy shit graphics. The hardware is stretched too thin. I don't understand why people want to wait when every game they get renders closer to 480p than 720p. We should have had a successor in 2011. There's nowhere I can't reach. |

I can't imagine any scaler, especially a built in TV one, being any sort of decent. The one in the 360 is actually pretty fucking fantastic, all things considered. Thankfully your TV doesn't do the scaling in that case; imagine how terrible it'd look! It'd look only slightly better than SD cable broadcasts. Yuck.
I too wish we would have beefier consoles around the corner, but it is what it is. I don't think we'll see any 600+ dollar SKUs either, so right out of the gate they've got to be less powerful comparatively in order to not lose as much money per unit sold. I hope that, if these rumoured specs are true, what we get is a shortened cycle instead of a longer one. Quintuple in 2018? That'd be nice. (Provided Sony doesn't implode on itself). It's strange when I'm more excited by gimmicks like Oculus and Shield than I am by Durango and Orbis. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
