Those games that run at "1080p" are simply running at 720p with digital upscaling. It's not true 1080p.
"Why move on to NEW tech when most of the current developers don't take advantage of the capabilities OLD tech. And if they are taking advantage the capabilities of OLD tech, why do so many games look like crap."

Dafuq are you talking about. Currently developers are squeezing every last bit of performance the current generation of consoles is capable off.
They look like crap, because you're so used to watching games that your eyes have been adapting to what PC's are capable off. Our current gen is enormously lagging behind on PC, and this is why the games look much worse on our current consoles than on PC.
Um...I'm not a PC gamer... I have an 8 core monster... but that is because i need it for the Non-linear editing software I use for my films...
Though... resolution RARELY has ANYTHING to do with how a game looks... Metroid Other M... absolutely beautiful.
Halo 4... visually breathtaking...
Latest Gears of War Game... GORGEOUS...
720p, 30fps.
They look like crap in comparison to games of the same year and month on the same console...
Odd that the benchmark mods that have been run on a great deal of games don't show that they are squeezing much at all...
And "dafuq" I am talking about is documented studies that show issues with frame rates over 30fps due to the way that the images are rendered and how the brain processes imagery...
Either way, I am sure we can agree that the XB1 is NOT the way to proceed
I wasn't implying you're a PC gamer. I was implying that people who follow video games, don't only watch video games of their own platform.
PC has advanced much more, so that the console versions of games don't look as good as the PC version.
That's why "They look like crap."
When it comes to graphics and beauty, there are two factors : Design and graphic performance.
Games have a great graphic performance but look like s**t because of the design, for instance Halo.
Other games have a low(er) graphic performance but are beautiful because of the design, for instance Ni No Kuni.
My "dafuq are you talking about" response wasn't to the framerate thing. You could be right about that, I have no idea.
It was in response to the performance power utilized by current generations and the 720p/1080p thing.
