Page 1 2 >>Game looks pretty good otherwise, but it's the animations that are more important to me in this game, and as far as I've seen they don't surpass ok-ish...
But yeah Tarrell, 360 works in 1080p just fine.
Ooooh, they look so plastic. Super plastic! And their skin should have.. err... some kind of shader with no performance hit.
Haa! Plastic people, oh my god so plastic!
Plastic!
Thank you.
U mean 1080i. I don't think games run in 1080p yet.
Based on current processor speeds, memory and bandwidth allocations in both systems, neither is fast enough, sophisticated enough nor have memory or bandwidth enough to accomplish this goal with any real level of effectiveness. Take a look at all the 1080p games to date (RR7, VT3, etc.). They all look like last-gen games running at hi-def. So you wind up with VT3. The problem increases by double with the jump from 30fps to 60fps, and so far the big hype of the day is 1080p games running at 60fps. The result being Dreamcast games running in high-def.
Then you get back to glorious 720p games like Gears of War and Mass Effect and Alan Wake in all their true next-gen graphic splendor. And you begin to understand why there is such a huge dichotomy and why native 720p just look light years better than native 1080p games.
Any talk of 1080p for right now is a joke and just some really bad marketing. If I wanted Dreamcast graphics in HD, I'd just plug in my DC to my VGA port on my HDTV,and have it scale the image all the way up to 1080p for me. I think that it is safe to say that anyone who spent $400 on a 360 and $600 on a PS3, did not do so, so they could play games that look like last-gen titles - only now in hi-def.
1080p will have it's day in the sun. By 2010-2012 when the next batch of consoles are arriving to market, processor power and all the other requisites for true next-gen graphics in 1080p will be in place and no doubt at least one hardware manufacturer will see to having a game console capable of making those games a reality and 1080p, next-gen graphics, a standard.
Until then, continue to be disappointed by native 1080p games on your PS3 and Xbox 360. In the meantime, I'm gonna be more than happy to 'settle' with native 720p classics like BioShock, in all the rich graphical detail that you just cannot get yet with native 1080p gaming.
I have been saying for over a year, based on the specs of the current systems (Xbox 360 and PS3), 1080p gaming is a lose, lose situation. Here is why. There are approximately 255% more pixels in a native 1080p image, than in a native 720p image. No matter the frame rate, that gives you less than half the time to render each pixel + effects than before and then move on to the next frame. You must do this 30 or 60 times per second. With less time to render effects to the pixels, that means you have to cut back on the level of detail and amount of effects you can use on that pixel to get it rendered into to move to the next frame. So now not only is your time per pixel cut in half, but so is the number of lighting and shaders and textures effects that you can apply as well.

The Ps3 version looks much better than the 360 version, either way, i'm sorry but this is leagues ahead of anything the Dreamcast could achieve.
