I'm far from a tech wizard of any kind, and although 1080p is my default option, I do find myself switching to 480p for extended periods, be it on the PS4 or Wii U. Theirs just something kinda alluring about lower resolutions, everything seems to mesh together and runs smoother, even if really doesn't,........and the loss of detail is made up by the fact that it's harder to spot lower poly textures and just the artificiality of it all. Maybe it's a bit of my mid to late 90s PC days and my preference for low resolution / high frame rate.
I guess I will be doing it a fair bit if the only way to disable the filters on e.g SNES games is to switch to 480p. (Presuming I want to play them on the TV). Still got two weeks until the damn thing arrives.

Wouldn't it be difficult to even see the text in HD games on 480p?
I remember playing Mass Effect 2 was a nightmare for me because of that. I got my LED after I got my Wii U, so I spent 3 years playing with my PS3 with SD resolution. Most HD games have really small text.
I will comment in this thread, never being able to find it again.

Dunno, anybody else like this?
I prefer most of my 'movie' experiences to be in low res, there's just something about HD(at least films shot in digital) that cheapens the experience, almost tarnishes that movie magic and makes the experience almost look 'on set' and too familiar. Horror movies are best viewed either on VHS or DVD imo, the last thing i need to see The Exorcist in crystal clear 1080p....
Also, be sure to play your Wii games in 4:3/fullscreen for the sharpest/crispest picture possible. it also looks a little better in motion that away, vs anamorphic widescreen(Wii games are 640x40 native res) which looks soft, ugly(especially on larger TV's) and looks a bit worse in motion I can only handle playing Wii games in widescreen on 37" or smaller displays, even then 4:3 still looks noticeably better.
How do you get 24fps out of a DVD or VHS ? (Thats what the film is so it is what it should be). Not that I really watch horror films.

Haha, I guess, the text is a little blurred, but not significantly at all, I mean, you could still make out text while gaming in SD before
But the text wasn't the same in those. It was larger so it would be easy to read.
Your kinda nuking it though, Killzone :Shadow Fall on the PS4 has notoriously small text, and I still can read it fine, if not slightly better, in 480p.......now, the image isn't as crisp, given the lower res, but the text is fine, most games zoom in very slightly when set at 480p as well, at least on the Wii U and PS4.

I agree that HD tarnishes older flicks, they were never shot or meant to be viewed in that kind of clarity, it just looks unnatural in most cases.
I do because I get physically sick from watching widescreen LCD televisions. I have an 8 year old 35" Sharp EDTV that is a 4:3 tube! It looks amazing and can handle 580P and has zero latency which means classic games can be played as they were meant to be rather than pressing a button and waiting 2 seconds for anything to happen on screen!

I have never had that problem, I don't have classic systems (Virtual Console all the way) but I have never had button lag like that
People keep saying the Xbox One doesn't have Backwards Compatibility.
I don't think they know what Backwards Compatibility means...
