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. Everything going forward will be 4K. Cody's points are as pointless as someone happy with 720p. Bungie hasn't even offered HDR at 1080p.

My original point was about why is Bungie so late with respect to the HDR and WCG features inherent to most quality TV (monitors too) products? I'm 100% certain D2 will be rendered at 4K on XB1X. It's all the other enhanced features the 1X brings to the table I'm concerned about.

Then there's my conspiracy side that wonders how much are Sony and Activision involved in Bungie's poor preparation for something clearly on the board well before their game releases.

Look at Respawn and T2 and what they're planning for XB1X. They aren't saying everything waits until Nov. before they can talk about their enhancement plans. It's all underway. Dev kits are in studios now.

I agree with you that the 4K train is already established and in motion. My point (and I believe Cody's point) is that when it comes to video games, the push to 4K is at best inefficient use of resources, and at worst actually harming the end products of games that are making that push, at least right now. So far, I have yet to hear of a single game that runs at 4K on the PS4 Pro without suffering other performance issues (usually frame-rate related). The problem I have with the whole push towards 4K is that it is purely marketing driven. It offers little-to-no benefit to gamers, and is actually often a detriment so far, but Sony and Microsoft are basically forcing it as a priority despite this.
