HDR, perhaps not a big deal now but it will be. (Destiny)

I'd just like to point out, the 4K tracks have been laid and the 4K Express is running a steady schedule. One only has to look at the new TV offerings for 2017. Most of the quality products (big and small) and in general, most of the products are 4K.


1080p scales wonderfully to 4K UHD. It is exactly 4x the pixels. A 1080p output, with all the extra GPU power being used for additional effects / shaders / etc, would look better on a 4K TV than the console spending GPU resources to output in 4K.

Cody, you already know game devs have been rendering at resolutions higher than 1080p and then down sampling to the final res. It's not common sense to plan a future based on the reverse process. This is not a point I need to argue. I read today XB1X was rendering at 6K and 8K and down sampling to 4K. Was the info true? I'll let you find out on your own.

Bungie employee Mark Noseworthy wants HDR in D2 but doesn't know when. I'm saying I'm disappointed D2 is being released without it.
