Current gen consoles have a hard enough time with 1080p/60fps. We won't see full 4K support for a long time. If you wanna future proof and/or use it for an expensive PC gaming rig? Sure, go for it. If you only have interest in a PS4, then don't bother with 4k.

PS4 can't handle 4K gaming, but if you want a TV that will last for 10 years I'd personally go for 4K (or if you ever want to hook up your PC to enjoy 4K gaming). I personally have a love for plasma TV's, but those are hard to come by these days. The next best (and still very expensive) thing is OLED. However, if you don't mind you could easily go with a LED TV. Just make sure the TV is at least 120Hz or more (not "dynamic", but base value).

I am no expert, but this should get you going into the right direction.

no console supports 4k (ultra HD)
i would say to get a full hd (1080p) specially so you will not have to deal with shitty upscalling some tvs do... 4k would be a waste if your main use is a console

personally i think 4k is not really that great, 1080p is already big enough...

about the 1080p/60fps only the console can tell you that.. a tv just displays what the the console outputs, if the game was designed to play at 30fps there is nothing a tv can do about that

a console usually outputs at 30fps, some games can do 60.. not sure about if consoles can do 75 or higher..
fps (frames per second) or hertz its basically the same thing, that means, if the console does 60fps, the tv will work at 60 hertz..
if a game is compatible with 3d glasses, and you want to use the the 3d glasses, you will need to double the value, for example, 120 hertz, means 60 hertz for each eye..

a 4k tv can play a console 1080p just fine, the thing is, the picture will be "zoomed" and depending on the tv that zoom can be really great or bad.. that zoom is called upscale..

    I wonder if that was the point of game streaming
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    But it's a dead end
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @Psionic Roshambo, people who cant download it can still play the game
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage

    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics

    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
