I understand why they're not in 4K, that will most likely be a next gen thing. But why not 2K? Its crystal clear and way better in general. In fact someone uploaded Halo 2 cutscenes in 2K, here's the Gravemind cutscene:
YouTube

Make sure its at 1440p and you'll know what I mean.

Although people may not like to admit it, the hardware of this new generation is incredibly weak. Relative to what else is available.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Probably because of hardware limitations, and I assume companies love to sell you the biggest most powerful expensive useless thing over something that is cheaper and a tad more useful.


About the video, it looks nice, but even minimized it lags terribly. To watch a video like that I'd need a more dedicated computer.

A flower which blooms on the battlefield
Because hardware isn't some magical thing.
The resolution is hindered by what the hardware is capable of, and the new-gen isn't even that powerful.

"There is no ignorance; there is knowledge.
There is no fear; there is power.
I am the heart of the Force.
I am the revealing fire of light.
I am the mystery of darkness
In balance with chaos and harmony,
Immortal in the Force." ― The Je'daii Code

In time we will get a  powerful hardware, in time we will, i can already feel it happening.

Games are in whatever resolution you want, providing you have the hardware to back it up. It's just some textures wouldn't look that nice.

Crouton is fat.
Games are developed for the common denominator, and until that isn't 1080p, you can expect the status quo.
