4K Resolution

The next video is all about visual presentation. IGN has recorded some Forza Horizon 3 video footage featuring one of the game’s cross-country competitions in 4k (2160p) resolution, the current peak of display technology. The various changes in the terrain surfaces the cars were running on offer good opportunity to inspect the technical abilities of the upcoming free-roam game. The stunt sections provide a great example as well.

Just as things are beginning to heat up on Sony’s front, new rumors have emerged suggesting Microsoft won’t sit idly by and allow Sony to continue holding the performance crown unchallenged.

Over the past month there have been whispers of a more powerful and better equipped upgrade to the PlayStation 4, commonly referred to as the PlayStation 4.5 or PlayStation 4K. Keeping up the momentum of the first two reports, yet another story has emerged, and the refreshed console may offer a little more promise than originally assumed.

Hold on to your butts. Hot on the tail of an earlier report on the rumoured “PlayStation 4.5” (or the more succinct “PS4K”), another story has emerged, potentially shedding light on new details of the machine that could break the traditional console cycle.

You’ve heard the whispers by now, whispers of a more powerful and better equipped PlayStation 4 machine. Intended to handle higher-end gaming experiences and to serve as a better launchpad for Sony’s VR peripheral – the rumored “PlayStation 4.5” is just that machine, and it just might be closer than we all think.

The annual Consumer Electronics Show is in full swing in Las Vegas this week, and Sony is using Gran Turismo 5 to show off the capabilities of their upcoming $24,999 84” 4K Ultra HD TV.

Polyphony Digital’s demonstration of a Gran Turismo tech demo running at “4K resolution” made quite a splash when it hit the news a few weeks ago.
