Jeff compares the DK2 to Quake resolution (640x480), but I think that's quite misleading. Quake looks terrible, to modern eyes, but that has little to do with the resolution, and much more with the low polygon count, low quality textures and the lack of lighting effects.
Run Far Cry 4 at 640x480, and it'll look much better.
- codinghorror 11y agoI do not think Far Cry 4 would look very good at 640x480. Imagine it full screen on even a modest 20" monitor at that resolution. There are tricks, yes, but big pixels are a fundamental problem until you reach a "good enough" size. Sort of like when the iPhone 4 and retina was released. We are very, very far from retina resolution in VR.

Looks significantly better than Quake, even when maximized to fullscreen (except for the JPEG artifacts)! edit: far cry 4 640x480 filetype:png http://www.picmygame.com/wp-content/uploads/ktz/yQq6DDQq-m2a5wamnac6ztznkryv70k98058ede2pzps4a4stz4.png http://www.picmygame.com/wp-content/uploads/ktz/yQq6DDQq-m2a... http://www.picmygame.com/wp-content/uploads/ktz/Z7ptQrAC-m1ns3ad8vr1t7auu05yj2dug80xr7hbsmgln4qqtog.png http://www.picmygame.com/wp-content/uploads/ktz/Z7ptQrAC-m1n... The text isn't great and the last image is hard to look at, but that's probably post processing.
- dwild 11y agoIt still look way better than Quake.
