Yep, it will no doubt play out the same as all the others.
Everyone recognizes that 8k is just an uninteresting step to the golden resolution of 16k.
A lot of gaffers are falling for it and saying the same thing.
Chicken/egg scenario.
Until the graphics look like real life, we aren’t there.
Keep in mind that the UE5 8K texture demo was the biggest wow factor we have received so far this gen.
4K gaming started in 2014, 10 years later games still can't run at stable 4K without fake frames
1080P had the same issues when 4K arrived.
So just watch a movie?
God that would be so boring.....especially playing games like Astro Bot I want games with interesting aesthetics rather than boring realism.
What are you even saying here? That 1080p got worse when 4K arrived? Because that's asinine. PC was playing 1080p smoothly far back as 2005, it took roughly another 8 years for 1440p by 2012/2013 for 1440p to become the new mainstream resolution and maybe if Ray Tracing never came into the picture 4K/60 would be a reality but that's proving to not be the case time and time again as now Path Tracing in real time demolishes the most powerful GPU on earth that they've resorted to fake frames + on chip video processing to make it a reality.
Still wrong.
How bout both?
Not to mention unless we start filming everything in 70MM and they start upscaling those 6K DIs you aren't going to see a difference.
Because if you want games to look like real life what's the point? There's no creativity there and it's a waste of time and resources.
>4K is a gimmickBefore you join in on the “8K is pointless”, “you must sit X feet away, and have X screen size”, or “the human eye cannot see the difference between 4K and 8K”, just remember you will be joining the legions of memes who thought this in the past about lower resolutions.
And they were all wrong.
720P -> 1080P
1080P -> 4K
4K
Animated movies are often rendered in 16K.
*Only referring to games with that art style as it shows clearly how far we have to go.
No, that 1080P was often not native when 4K arrived.
That is just one art style, others can also be greatly improved.
Yep, down sampled. Which 8K games can also do to improve the experience for 4K gamers.
Not 8K unfortunately.
You could play non widescreen PC games at that sort of resolution before 1080p became common. It wasn't impossible, more of a culture of console devs just rendering at lower quality, which is still common now. Really, the mathematics of scaling up past that seems more brutal, as the megapixels do not go up linearly as you go from resolution to resolution.
