Seems like its going more likely for 4k resolution. As Sony has released blurayplayers, projectors and soon TV's with 4K res.
Though i know that soon doesn't really mean the same timeframe for PD as for the rest of the world.
What are you talking about...4k...buy a PC and you´ll see what games are going to look in the future...no more no less..."next-gen" (graphics or games) is just a term to say that the new consoles are coming...games are evolving all time...if you play on consoles you have no clue in what good graphics really are...and talking about 4K resolutions because Sony has plans to release something with that resolution (like everyone can afford something like that...lol)...and by the way with what purpose...seeing bacteria´s?
You have no idea how much costs to develop a game these days and how many time they need to make textures in higher resolutions... 4K you say...i am laughing so hard.
Future TV´s are Laser...it has nothing to do with resolutions it has to be with hardware...that´s the evolution and the progress and what you can call "next gen". (Mitsubishi is selling Laser TV´s in Japan only by now)
Games are not going to be "next gen"...games are going to look better because hardware is going to be better (new) than current consoles (this generation of consoles)...
Again play on a PC as much as i play in both (my PS3 and my PC) and you´ll see that multi-platform games are looking so bad compared to the same ones on PC...i stopped buying games for my PS3 because of that...you don´t have PhysiX effects by Nvidia on consoles, you don´t have tesselation and X16 antialiasing and not even ubersampling (The Witcher 2) , MSAA X8 HQ details...we don´t have post-processing...etc...and GPU´s can´t do real 1080p resolution with games because the frame rate will drop even more.
NEXT GEN GAMES? We have already "next gen" games at every release...but we don´t have next-gen consoles yet to play those games with the graphics that we already can see...
Next gen consoles = better and new hardware as simple as that. Games are going to look tons better even those that we already have on consoles.
I am tired of those who speak about NEXT GEN and crazy resolutions that only are possible using 2 to 4 GPU´s with 3 monitors or more by now...
The standard is and will be 1080p...if next-generation consoles are not going to give us real 1080p resolution games...or better frame rates, plus better quality graphics overall...at least compared to current PC´s (talking in details when games are maxed out and at that resolution)...we are not going to see anything that can tell that games are better or look better.
With that said..."Gran Turismo 5 to be transformed into Gran Turismo 6" needs all that...needs better hardware, it needs real 1080p, better antialiasing, tesselation, post processing and more effects to give it a realistic look and even more detailed. Add textures and stuff like that to the mix. (a more "next-gen" look if you like it that way)
The rest will be features and more features and a good car/track list.
That´s why i think that this game could be for PS4 and it is not going to be announced in the near future (TGS 2012).
4k resolution...please go to sleep.
I know, TL-TR and cool story bro to myself. xD
