that said i support sony doing it because in the rare event that Bloodborne 2 or Bloodborne 4k 140fps happens, that means I can pickup a base model PS5 for super cheap off SA-Mart or something as every goon always rushes out to upgrade to the latest $999.99 pro models ASAP

Good point, actually

yea that's legit what I did for the PS4. i had no real interest in a PS4 at all outside of Bloodborne+GOW+HZD but didn't want to drop $400 on a console for 3 games, so i just waited until the PS4 Pro came out and then picked up like a $100 PS4 off sa-mart because every single goon was trying to dump their current model pennies to buy the pro. I imagine same tactic will work for the PS5

except who knows if sony will even make a Bloodborne for it.... so lol. like the only ps5 games i'm even mildly interested is Ragnarok, Ghost of Tushima, and maybe Demon Souls -- but not that interested in so i've been waiting for a PC-port instead.

i'm also sour because everyone was hyping up Returnal as the greatest thing since sliced bread, so I bought it when it came out on PC and i was kinda dissapointed in it and woulda waited for a sale or pirated copy instead. not nearly as good as console goons hyped it up to be

I honestly liked it a lot when I got to hold one but ultimately it's just too drat big for how I game on the go. They should really make like a Deck Slim or whatever if they're not just totally winging the lifecycle plans for it. If any game is too hard to get working on it, just leave it for the community to work on instead

8k would basically require that you sit pretty close to a big TV. I've gotten into the habit of playing games on my TV while laying in bed, and when sitting further away like that (which is probably a more normal distance to watch TV from) it's very difficult to tell the difference between 1440p and 4k at that distance. It's still noticable, but very subtle (whereas it's actually pretty significant at a distance of just ~5-6 feet).

you can tell a difference with rendering resolutions but i am pretty sure that actual 4k monitors/tv are useless a lot of the time. you need to be right up against a massive screen for it to actually matter

Also the rendering power needed for even 4k is absolutely absurd. Like the jump from 1080 to 1440p on most displays is about a 20~ PPI jump; from 1440p to 4k is 2.5x that, usually somewhere about 50-60 PPI increase. You can see most current graphics cards trying to find ways to cheat because the costs of rendering that natively are still outside of what's feasible, so you've got poo poo like DLSS or FSR, which are upscaling and using AI ML to gussy it up, and DLSS3 which is just using AI to make new frames so their number can be bigger (this works very poorly)

once you get your staff up to about level 12-13 the cost per training skyrockets

japan's broadcasting industry is pushing 8k.

get an 8k screen and make all the pixels black except one, make it white (maximum MTF) and walk forward until you can spot the white pixel. it will be when you are very very close to the screen for a typically screen size.

almost no image asks you to resolve white on black in fine detail, except text. so unless its for reading text very very close to the screen (or a very large screen that takes up a lot, realistically the entirety, of your field of view) it is useless.

u can download this 1080p image of white and black alternating pixels, which is maximum MTF, and display it on your display and see how far away you have to be to see a grid instead of an even grey. that's the distance you can resolve 1080p. Half that distance and that's 4k. half again is 8k.

for my 15" laptop monitor my eyes can see 1080p at about 8 inches? pretty close. 2 inches is 8k lol



edit: SA scales it and you get moire so you gotta download the png and somehow view it pixel for pixel I leave it as an exercise for the reader how to do that. also mac laptop screens do some funky scaling thing
