Another Playstation 3 Failure?

Although gamers claim that the game looks amazing, one gaming fan has reported that Call Of Duty 4 will only run at 720p. This is despite the back of the box claiming that it supports 720p, 1080i and 1080p. The gamer, who owns a Samsung Full HD TV can’t seem to get the game working above 720p.

He has checked the TV, he is using an HDMI 1.3 cable and the Playstation resolution is set at 1080p but nothing seems to change.

Making absolutely sure it wasn’t his television, he tested his other HD games like NBA Street Homecourt, Ninja Gaiden Sigma and LAIR. They all ran at the 1080p like the box said they would.

Are you having problems with Call of Duty 4? Could it be that the game can only run at 720p - what do you think?

    From what I understand it will only run in 720 per all the stuff i read on the net.

  2. ken says:

    maybe its a print mistake like ninja gaiden says it supports SIXAXIS control and it doesnt

    Woah there, don’t jump to conclusions. A Playstation 3 failure? What the hell are you talking about, you sound like a mindless fanboy. Last time I heard, Call of Duty 4 runs at 720p.

    Next time you call something a “failure” take into consideration that the most amazing games you’ll ever see: Resistance, Motorstorm, Ninja Gaiden Sigma E, Heavenly Sword, Eye of Judgment, Warhawk, and Ratchet and Clank, and Metal Gear Solid 4, Haze, LittleBigPlanet, Uncharted, Killzone 2, God of War III, and Gran Turismo 5 to come, are exclusive to the PS3.

    Shouldn’t a failure be a system with a 30-40% failure rate? How about a system that relies solely on one franchise that was ridiculously overhyped?

    hahaha, ohhh chris you sad, sad man……

    what this individual is referring to is upscaling to 1080p. both 360 and ps3 versions of this particular game is rendered natively @720p. the 360 contains a hardware scalar which automatically upscales to 1080p if your display supports it. this is partly true for the ps3 except it has to be applied by the developer for the game in question. this feature wasn’t implemented for the ps3 version by IW and THIS is what the article refers to (possibly due to system overhead).

    is there any practical or significant difference when “UPSCALING” from 720p to 1080? no. it’s certainly no substitute for natively rendered 1080P games which this article blatantly implies (e.g. GT5, Tekken 5:DR, NGS…). so what the shit is it with all the FUD? another PS3 failure? wtf!

    when there’s an error in reasoning, such is evident in this case, it is generally referred to as a fallacy; an argument in which the premises given for the conclusion do not provide the needed degree of support. for instance, having just driven a blue car I experience a puncture. So ONLY blue cars suffer punctures.

    do you see what i did there? seriously, get some perspective.

    I agree fully with Chris.

    The xbox 360 is actually this gens first true failure. Both the PS3 and the Wii have sold more units in their first year than the xbox 360 did in it’s first full year.

    In the xbox 360’s first year there was 0 great games to buy and only in months 13 (Gears of war) 20 (Bioshock)and 21 (Halo 3) of its release did it have any decent games but considering the horrible quality of the product (30 - 40% failure rate) and only a few great games it is clear that the only real failure is the xbox 360.

    It has also been report, several different reviews, that COD 4 is graphically superior on the PS3 vs the xbox 360. At this point it is almost stupid or dumb to buy an xbox 360 for 3 games while the PS3 already has double the quantity of must have games in only 10 months of its release, plus it has blu-ray which rocks.

  7. The Only Person with A brain? says:

    You idiots.

    The game runs at 1080i and 1080p as stated on the box. If you have ALL resolutions checked, then CoD4 will send out the native 720p signal.

    If you want it upconverted by the PS3, then un-check 720p.

    Another failure?!!? lol That’s what you’re parents said.

  8. I have brain too says:

    Maybe their parents only have a child…
    So, maybe JP was their only failure
    lol

  9. Oh dear says:

    Chris comes across as a fanboy to me.

  10. martin says:

    To chris, all them games are exclusive, what about all the good exclusive ones to xbox, like ummm gears of war, halo, pgr3 and pgr4, bioshock, the list goes on! i know where i would rather be

    to Numanthia, so much of a failureis it, just look at the halo 3 selling stats.
    quote”In the xbox 360’s first year there was 0 great games” unquote
    you must of missed a 1 out from the start of the 0.

    so the ps3 isnt a failure, it could burn down your house, it is probably your main heating supply for your house, you need a seperate house for it because its so big and heavy.

    achivement system?
    come back to that
    rant over
    :)
    xbox360 rules.
