I am a little bit curious why so few games these days give a 1080p option. Most games have a graphics mode which targets up to native 4k with a 30fps target and a performance mode with a target of 1440p and 60fps.
However I personally would rather have an option to have higher graphic settings at 1080p with a 60fps target.
I actually do own a 4k tv, but my Sony tv is doing a very good job with outputting even 720p material, so I would be totally comfortable with 1080p.
However I am even more curious about the decision to push for resolutions over 1080p on consoles, since it’s a fact that even in the US only 50% of households do own a 4k television, so for people without a 4k television, they can either play on a PC screen which is normally smaller or worse a lot of extra performance of the current gen consoles is wasted.
So is there any particular reason why game developers push so hard for higher resolutions? It’s not like game developers are getting paid by the tv manufacturers to boost tv sales…
