@electroidfire They can't really advance too much in the field of graphics anymore. Just compare DMC4's character models to that of any AAA game from 2013 and you'll see that there's not much of an improvement. The field that must be exploited now is physics, and some games are starting to do it, with dynamic environments like MGR's cutting props system. Really, 4k is just resolution for the sake of resolution. Anything from 1024x768 upwards is completely playable an shows detail, so there's not much of a point on going for extreme resolutions on home systems where screens won't be massive. And the few screens that would benefit from such resolutions tend to be prohibitively expensive and show poor image quality. A 40" LED screen for example, unless you have at least two and a half meters between you and the screen, with 20/20 vision you will be able to see the actual pixels forming the image and the gaps between them.
