fathergll yeah, they should definitely be more upfront about that. Still their 8k improved quite a bit too so I think it's still a nice upgrade. We'll see.
Seeing what 12k can look like just made me excited... (I've been looking forward to next gen image quality for a long time now).
But it's not just VrBangers though, that's just one studio. It's more that we'll have a hard limit on how much we can improve over the next 2 (and who knows maybe 4) years.
You need 16k for retina resolution (and better resolution for headsets too). At the moment though I think video resolution (and overall quality) is the biggest bottleneck. The 12k VrBangers vid was the first thing I felt almost maxed out my 8kx (zooming out hardly improved the video quality anymore).
We'll see what happens in the future though. There is definitely a lot that van be improved other than resolution alone and downscaling makes the image look better too.
