I’ve been in your shoes. I know what it's like to have expectations built + feel let down. I want you to know your voice matters + is heard. You're not falling on deaf ears. I always want to live up to the legacy that Bungie pioneered. I personally care a lot about honoring that.

I have a 65" 4k TV in a 120 sq/ft NYC apartment living room, where I sit 6-8ft from the screen. I can definitely tell the difference between 4K and 1080p content, although the difference is not dramatic.
Playing a game at 4k on the other hand is amazeballs at nuking the jaggies. No anti aliasing needed.
Edit
Did you mean 1200 SQ ft apt, my closet is 120 SQ ft.![]()
Next you'll tell us that it rents for $3500 a month and that was a deal.![]()
Have you ever run into Beamer?
Nope, the living room dimensions are 10ft x 12ft = 120sqft. The total square footage of the apartment is ~350sqft. Rent is $3000/mo. and while not a jaw droppingly good deal, it is cheaper than average for a 1 bedroom apartment in Greenwich Village/SoHo. And I've not knowingly run into Beamer, but it would be unsurprising if we've passed each other on the streets, at least pre-pandemic.

When Halo 4 looks significantly better than Halo 6, You have Done Something Wrong.
This is their flagship title. It's the game they plan to get people to buy new Xboxes with. Compare it to the nuclear bombs Sony dropped with their announcement and you can see why people are disappointed. Doesn't matter if it runs in 4k if it looks old; it just makes the shitty lighting stand out even more.
Compare it to HZD2 (which looks like a marginal improvement only because the first game is visually stunning already) or the new Ratchet & Clank (That was gameplay and cutscenes combined, and they've done their cutscenes in-engine for several games now), and it's just....well, background noise.

I really don't understand this infatuation with 4K. … HDR on the other hand was the biggest boon in technology on 4K TVs. …

I personally think people need to shut up and temper their bullshit and just be glad there are games still being made that can be played. I'm like some of you, the older I have gotten the less tolerant I have become about people and their obsessive whining bullshit over stuff thats not overly important and stop nitpicking.

It's 4x more powerful than the xbox one x, the console that already supports native 4k.

My only surprise (er complaint) was that it wasn't highlighting the power of the new console (which they have been hyping that it's 4x more powerful than the xbox one x). So it was like they didn't put their money where their mouth is. Like @Verno mentioned, the game's graphics look like a game that was released 5 years ago. So I was surprised that they didn't use one of their IPs to highlight the new console's capabilities. Aside from that, I couldn't give a rat's ass about the game because they all kind of play the same. Yeah, I'm the type that likes to see a series evolve in gameplay and technology. But I do know that most gamers expect the same things. The Witcher series is a perfect example of how I like to see a game evolve. The Halo series doesn't even come close to that, so that's why I stopped buying them after Halo 2.
A 4K display takes 4x the power to run, so I wasn't expecting a huge upgrade in graphics.

The older I get, the more I feel disconnected from the mainstream "gamers."
I am 100% there with you.
