So got a PS4 with Killzone today and it doesn't look like an upgrade :(

hmm it looks as though my old plasma is only 1024 x 768 so only 720p upscaled to 1080i.

I'll have to buy a new on in the summer.

Lerl.

Lol its not even 720p, not even close.

I've actually been rather impressed by the graphics on Killzone Shadowfall. Unfortunately, those graphics are one of the game's few redeeming features. It's an excellent tech demo; a mediocre game.

Edit: to qualify, I've only played the single player so far. Maybe the multiplayer is better.

How can 1024x768 be HD, you ask. Many dozens of people have asked that over and over here in the forum. The answer is, the Consumer Electronics Association has decided that any display with at least 720 lines can be called an HDTV and have the logo. There is some basis in fact for this because the human eye is more sensitive to vertical resolution than to horizontal resolution. This has been taken advantage of for years in NTSC because the horizontal resolution of NTSC is really poor. It is also taken advantage of in so-called HD-lite where the video is resampled to 1440x1080 on things like satellite, or maybe even shot with a 1440x1080 camera instead of the 1920x1080 camera you thought the network was using, and you probably didn't even notice.

It is a HD resolution, bear in mind my TV is now like 7 or even 8 years old.

The detail just won't be there with a 1024x768 resolution. You will need a new TV if you want a difference.

I've thought this about Killzone 2 & 3 though, 3 looked stunning graphically but gameplay wise was especially poor in my opinion.

It isn't. It really isn't.

Get a 1080p screen and give your eyes a break.

 

[craptakular]

It meets the definition of 720p. I'll get a new z zombie box at easter.

How do you report threads? Seems this was only made to try and flame bait.

That would explain why you're so unimpressed with the visuals your TV is not doing the Ps4 Justice. I can assure you on my 1080p TV it is eye candy heaven.

Or you could give the guy the benefit of the doubt that maybe he truly didn't realise his TV isn't 1080p?

 

[spoffle]

My eyes are fine :/

Clearly they aren't.

 

[ak22]

get Sony KLDW653A if you thinking of getting a 42 inch tv its one of the best for gaming.

A new TV would help, but you don't need a new TV to be able to see the difference at all.

You could see the graphical differences between Half Life 2 (original 2004 release) and Half Life 2 Episode 2/Left for Dead 2 at 1024x768.

The OP either has bad eyesight, a limit in how he can perceive graphical quality, or is on the wind up.

 

[Robert1986]

Unbelievable.

The latter

 

[spoffle]

Yeah. It certainly comes across that way

 

[ZG002]

Op, Do yourself a favour and google for a KZ SF and KZ3 side by side image.

Can't wait to see what the ps4 can do when Dev teams get into their stride.
