720p looks great on a 120" screen, that is what i've been gaming on for over 1/2 a year with ps3 and 360.
but cry moar if you want, that is what this thread seems to be about anyways.

I feel it looks terrible on my 70 inch sharp, but I have heard that projectors are better with scaling resolution. You are supposed to use native resolution on an LED, but Projector is supposed to do better with non native resolution right? Maybe it will look better if I switch to a projector.
It's still COMPLETELY disappointing to purchase a new 400-500 dollar console to play at 720p.
I think those playing in a dedicated theater room might have a little more of a blast than others.
I remember when I first put BF3 in on my HT setup with the WarSounds soundtrack on. I had trauma afterwards...
I'll probably build another sub or two for this game if I can afford it.
Edit: Can someone confirm where they say BF4 will be 720p@60fps?
That's utterly ridiculous, this is 2013 and it's been 8 years and we're still stuck at 720p? I'm not buying this game for console if so. I really wanted it on Xbox One/PS4 to play with friends and not have to deal with getting wrecked by the PC crowd ('m using a controller), but I'm not going back to 720p ever again lol. I'm looking to upgrade to a 120 inch screen, not doing 720p on it.
I looked forward to XboxOne/PS4 for over a year JUST for 1080p. Man this sucks.
I do not buy that 720p looks amazing on a 110" screen considering I can definitely tell the difference on a 70" screen between 720 and 1080 and while sure it looks better than 480, it's not great when you get to bigger screens. It also makes me wonder if you've ever actually gamed at true 1080p 60fps. I think you've made yourself believe that it's amazing. While sure, it may not matter in the overall scope, trying to say it's awesome is a bit of an overstatement.
What you will find I think is similar to what Nintendo said with the Wii. It's cheaper and easier to make worlds at lower resolutions. Many devs are going to continue to do this. It's probably not an issue, but please don't tell me your consoles are amazing and better than top end PC's when they obviously are not. Also, I don't care what anyone says, 30fps is horrible and should (at this point in time) NEVER be used again.

You do realize that even higher end PC's have trouble running many games @ 1080p max graphics with steady 60fps?
Already done. Without any special effort I put together a complete pc with a 7850 2g, 8gb ram, fx-4130, and 3 free games on newegg. Under $400.
Hell I was only saying that because these systems are very very close to real PC counterparts and Kaveri will be as fast on the GPU, much faster on the CPU, and slower with no ecache or GDDR5 in memory. Once those hit you could easily build a matx or ITX system for $400 that would be competitive with the consoles.
That said I don't fully understand why it's such a big deal. I guess for me it's never been an issue. I play games that play better or are only available on the console, on whatever console it plays best on (X360 controller being my preferred), if it looks, plays and is overall a better experience to play on the PC, then play it there. Why consoles have to play the competitive graphics game on tech forums I don't understand.
They did say it was running at 60FPS for the first time on consoles. I will take 720p@60FPS over 1080p@30FPS any day. Really though, I am already buying this on PC, so I don't care about the console version.
I am one of the few people, it seems, that can enjoy console and PC gaming. I recognized the strengths of each and 'exploit' them.
it's only a big deal to gamers who are primarily pc gamers because they are butthurt that pc gaming is not nearly as diverse as console gaming, and that the consoles are the #1 focus for game development for multiplatform games, so they come here to try and hurt console gamer feelings to make them feel better about having a fraction of a gaming library on the pc.
what most of them don't get is that 99% of people on this forum KNOW that PC games look much much better, but don't give a crap and enjoy them anyways, because they look more than good enough. pc games have looked better than console games for the past 20+ years or so, it's nothing new.
then you have the guys (which is a lot of people on this board too) who can enjoy games and don't care what platform they are on, and enjoy them to enjoy them. but it's no surprise that this thread is full of a lot of "non-regular" console gaming forum visitors.
You know, you constantly talk like you are some open minded worldly gamer, but, that is not how you come off at all. You come off as a jaded butthurt console gamer. PC games are more diverse than console games. There is no argument there. There are a few genres that obviously play better on console, and vice versa, but overall, the "range" of consoles games is very minimal.
THE reason there is contention (and many times misguided hatred) over console games is not because of some PC fanboy illusion. It stems from the 360/PS3 generation that saw a major shift in the way games were developed primarily for console, and practically ignored on the PC front. This in turn led many gamers to believe they are holding back gaming advancement on many fronts. Really only within the last couple years has that begun to turn some.
Now seeing the new consoles coming out STILL trailing in technology only strengthens that view. Before you go all "omg PC l33tist" realize I still play a wide variety of systems. It's not about the graphics as much as how 1080p has been standard for years. This should have been THE defacto minimum with the new gen. More than likely what this means is yet MORE shoddy ports for however many years these systems exist.
Now, please get over yourself and try to understand where OTHER people's concerns are coming from instead of continually dismissing them as "fanboy", if you were actually THAT open minded, you wouldn't keep saying the same rhetoric over and over and whats with the "strangers coming into the console forumz omg". FFS. If people didn't care you'd be in here by yourself.
did you read the OP? the whole point of the OP is to basically say "LOL PC version of BF4 is much better than PS4/XBOX1 graphically LOLOL!!!"
and yeah, again, no shit. everyone knows this. not even sure wtf "concern" you are talking about. also not sure why you even bring up "fanboy" in your post as if i said anything about calling someone a fanboy, but i do know you love to throw that word around.
It is obvious pc graphics are better. If you play any type of game you should know this. Also, it should not matter. The console crowd for bf4 is different than the pc crowd. I got it for ps4 because most of my friends will have a ps4 too and while I have bf3 on pc, I rarely played it because I didn't have a good group to enjoy it.
Same goes for cod, I'll always get it for console because of the crowd I play with. When the game is cheaper I'll get it for pc just to play the single player again and see the difference.
It's just who you enjoy playing such games with. On console , I have my real friends that can get together and we will play like that all the time. On bf3 I barely know anyone who has a pc like I do out of all my friends that game.
Graphics to me don't matter that much because I enjoy both spectrums.
