Anybody play the Wii U on 480p just cause? - Wii U Forum

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. Dunno, anybody else like this?

If I wanted things to look blurrier and less focused I'd just walk around without my glasses.

I always play in 1080p unless I'm playing on a CRT TV (dat 0 latency doe)...in which case I'm forced to use 480i
But I would never play in 480p just for "fun"...lol. There really aren't many reasonable benefits to that (since it will not improve performance at all). The only one I can think of off the top of my head is to reduce file sizes for game capture devices.

Talking about blu-rays, I agree that digital shot films sometimes look faker, for example "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises", the IMAX parts (the parts that were filmed with digital cameras), look so fake to me, like the final battle for example. But other films, like Tron: Legacy look beautiful and amazing in HD. There's other shows like Game of Thrones who look incredible in HD (especially the blu-ray), and makes you feel like never going back to watch it on SD.
