As we know Sony are always bigging up their PS3, saying that it is the only “true” HD console. Well it seems that with the release of Far Cry 2, it has giving them a swift kick in the behind, as the game is hampered with a number of issues.
Gamers have been complaining that the game has widescreen issues, and the 3.5GB install is also not going down well with PlayStation 3 owners. Reviewers have said that the PS3 version fall’s shorts of the Xbox 360 version.
The problem is the PS3 of Far Cry 2 only supports 720p, while the Xbox 360 version offers full 1080p support. Ripten has put the blame on the developer, saying that they are lazy and stupid, and that it is not the fault of the Sony PS3.

i wish people on the internet knew what they were talking about, the Xbox 360 version is not true 1080p, its upscaled, you can do that with DVDs, doesn’t make them true HD. The PS3 only advertised 1080p on the box if the game is true 1080p, which there are about 30 something PS3 games and about 3 360 games. If you don’t know what your talking about don’t talk.
Sounds like one of those rumors that is put around by insecure Xbox owners.
BTW: Best true 1080p game is Wipeout… not only is it 1080p its also 60fps…
30 ps3 games at 1080p? Sure keep telling yourself that.
Yeah exactly. So many of these reporters dont have a CLUE when it come to tech. And IF it looks better on the 3fixme is cuz that the system they developed for, then ported to PS3 (lazy devs)!! And DAMN right to the guys above me!! PS3 has a load of 1080p, the 3fixme barely any. ALL their big big games are 720. Takes the piss
true words here guys…..anyway..i give a fuck for a 3fixme…who cares..the time will tell which system will be the winner……..
LMAO

What are you taking about, you have no idae. The PS3 has only software upscaling, which means that the PS3 use’s resourses to change the scale from 720 to 1080. This is OK if the game is not that complicated, but with games like farcry is is not possible. But the 360 has hardware up scaling which doesn’t take any resourses. So for the above, get your facts right before add you opinion. This is another reason the 360 is better then the PS3. No look at Fallout 3 this is the same… I think the PS3 has hit the top limit of its power, while the 360 just gets better and better…
I very much doubt FAR CRY 2 is running natively in 1080p on the X360.
Chris you are wrong. you got it all backwards! wasnt it the xbox that recieved a software update to upscale games to 1080p? yuuuuuuuuuuuuup. and microsoft releasng a revised model with HDMI? yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup.
I have both machines and the upscaling on ps3 is only done with dvd movies after the update.
bottom line is the 360 does not support full HD, it had to be updated through software to get it that much closer. the ps3 is hardware based and supported full HD since release.
Chris got owned…
