Well whoopee-do, a PS3 game in 1080p - I think it’s shocking how many games are in 720p, especially as its full HD abilities are one of the main selling points of the machine. Even ‘Home’ is 720p.
Slippy Sloppy - If you know anything about framerates, and apparently you do…NOT, you would understand the engineering and concept behind 720P and 1080P. The PS3 doesn’t do faux pas 1080P scaling like the Windows 360, it’s a true HD system. It is unfortunate that Sony chose a weak video card, i.e. the RSX by Nvidia but we’ll have to live with it. If you want a good look at what the PS3 can do in 1920×1080 check out Metal Gear 4. That’s how games should look!
I’m just giving you a hard time! Have a great Holiday.

1080p has more than twice as many pixels on screen as 720p, hence very few games run at that resolution natively.
Take any game which is native 1080p, and the devs could do more with the graphics if then ran it a lower resolution (more effects, smoother framerate etc).
LOL at the first poster… Greets fellow Troll.
FYI, Lair was 1080p w/ locked frame rate but we all know about the relationship between graphics and gameplay. Halo 3 was fun, COD4 was fun and get this… Neither were HD. 8o out of curiosity… Is gears 2 1080p locked at 60fps? *walks out the door*
good dont know why Boohopo is so angry. cant wait to drive into this HD bloodbath
Fanboys, fanboys, fanboys. Of course not all 360 games are native 1080p and we all know which ones they are but quite a few games look sharper and higher res compared to the PS3 version - Pure being a very good example (though the colours look richer on the PS3).
And I’ve got MGS4, it looks great but where are all the other 1080p games? It’s very poor.
@Slippy Sloopy - I noticed yesterday that the box for Metal Gear actually says 1080p isn’t supported..? As for other 1080p games you have Socom, WipeOut HD, SuperStardust and… allegedly, according to the box CoD:4. Struggling to think of others…
Its really about that time that they start making all games in 1080p. There are a lot of people who have a TV that is over 50 inches and at that point, at 720p, the games start looking really bad. I really hope that by mid 2009 at least 50 percent of games are 1080p and 100% of the major releases are as well.
And with that said. I thought dead space was 1080p. I downloaded the demo and it only played at 720p. What gives.
The MGS4 box says 720p but the game seems to run at 1080p, I assume either the game was upgraded before the box went to print or there was an online update. WipeOut looks stunning in 1080p. It’s a shame there aren’t more games in 1080p.
I don’t really care about people arguing over what’s best or how the 360 achieves 1080p on many games but what I do care about is buying a game for the system it looks best on. Truth be told I’d rather buy games for the PS3 but more often than not the 360 has the best version and the 1080p output certainly provides some of the improvement. If people don’t agree with me that’s fine, everyone’s entitled to their own opinion.
It is a shame more and more games aren’t in 1080p…just thought of another GT5 lol…
I kind of agree about the 360 but i think the tide is now changing, Killzone 2 looks simply stunning as does the new Drakes Fortune, i think over the next year there will start to be a more noticeable gap with graphics and hopefully developers will push 1080p native graphics more and more…
