Is PGR3 Hi-Def

:lol So what? It's not like those games are relevant in any way anymore. Besides, you can even see how much nicer RR was in the 60FPS if you play the bonus game in RR4Liquid said:

Noone's disputing that. Bizarre dialed first Xbox pretty nicely with first PGR though.Liquid said:

I was just about to say the same thing. I remember trying to play ICO back in 2001 on my Sony 32XBR400, and thought that much of the beauty of the game was lost due to the horrid image quality. I only saw the game on my HD set, so I knew that the game must have used some weird interlaced technique. Still a beautiful and imaginative game.
With that said, I could give a rat's ass if PGR3 is 600p or not. Of course I'd love for the game to be 720p/60FPS, but I know that it is a launch game, and not indicative of Bizarre's programming ability or the Xbox 360's power. I have seen PGR 3 in person, and nothing on the market touches it and the graphics department. From what I saw, it looked like it was running in pure 720p to me. Now that I'm hearing that it is not, I'm not too disappointed, because I didn't notice the drop in resolution. I have a keen eye for these things too, since I consider myself to be a videophile. every system exhibits problems at launch. It's a cold, hard fact. Deal with it, or quit gaming altogether.

Bizarre has given a definitive answer to this question!
Where's those damned rolleyes when you need them.

And even i am moderately surprised
i know i wont be able to enjoy this game now that it might be running at only 600p upscaled to 720p
I dunno about you, but the fact that i would even be able to tell is irrelevant, the game is just a pile of rubbish on a DVD that i may just use as a coaster.
Thanks Bizzare and MS for ruining 2006

LOL. PATHETIC. Let me get this straight, they continuously make comments about the frame rate without worrying about NDAs but the damn resolution is under NDA?? PAAAATHETIC. Seriously, just come out and say you need more time and/or better hardware and/or more talented programmers. But this hiding behind NDA BULLSHIT is getting old.

I'm really only interested from a curiousity standpoint.
The fact that people need to be told that this is only 2/3 of 720p resolution only illustrates that resolution (as opposed to effects) is becoming overrated, at least for certain genres.
Anyhow, BlimBlim will be able to give us a definitive answer soon, though it's just a formality.

Oh no, its just fantastic seeing how MS will handle this debacle... all games have to be what again did I hear 720p .really, what happened??? LOL Let the damage control ensue
btw, if it does turn out to be 720p, then let the crow serving begin (ill take seconds). But really, his comments are pretty much admitting a downgrade.

At least MS is very successful at entertaining you - that must be worth something
....And the reason they did go with 1024x600 might be to have 4xMSAA instead of 2xMSAA (or 2x instead of none), probably because of all the bitching from numerous people about jagies.
Well, to be honest Id rather have jagies (and no AA at all) than a blurry scaled up image on my lcd monitor. Afterall, theres nothing worse that feeding a low res content on a fixed pixel display.
There go MS's standards....
I wonder if MS will now approach major review sites and "request" them not to cover this point at all using scare tactics or money hats...

A standard not to have a standard. If the "rumour" turns out to be true, then they are basically in breach of a Misrepresentation Act 1967:
"Whenever you agree to buy any goods or services a contract is made between you and the seller/supplier.
(The seller/supplier does not have to be in business.) The contract does not have to be in writing.
Often before you agree to buy, statements are made to you about the goods or services. These statements maybe written or verbal and may have influenced your decision to enter into the contract. These statements are called representations.
A representation is usually a statement of fact made by one party of the contract (seller/supplier) to the other party (the buyer). Although the statement may not form part of the contract it may be one of the reasons that made you enter into the contract to buy the goods or services.
If after the contract is made you find out that these statements / representations are false then this is a MISREPRESENTATION."
And Sony said 1080p, can't wait to see how that goes.Doube D said:Oh no, its just fantastic seeing how MS will handle this debacle... all games have to be what again did I hear 720p .really, what happened??? LOL Let the damage control ensue

For all games? No. In fact, they didn't specific any minimum resolution sofar. Just that the system was capable of outputting at 1080p, and it is.
Anyway, MS I believe has their bases covered because of technicalities over rendering at a resolution vs outputting at that resolution. Or at least someone previously said that they term it as being that all games would "output" at 720p. Output at 720p != rendering at 720p, so although they're not adhering to the spirit of their own claim, technically they can get away with it.
Shompola said:
That is clearly not what they meant in their statements, because technically whether the scaling is done on the console itselft or by your tv it is the same thing. In fact some HDTV's have better scaling than progressive dvd players.
When they said all games at 720p, they meant the source will be at 720p (HD).
So dont give me that crap.
I guess it will be for the lawyers to fight it out if it gets to court...
Ok, can we say "enough" now?
Between the 30/60fps debate and now this, can we just agree on the following:
1) PGR3 looks outstanding and is "next gen" in every sense of the word?
2) Based on the pedigree involved, that this game will fucking own?
3) That we are all a bunch of whiny bitches?
K?

gofreak said:Nah, they were pretty explicit on that to be fair
I remember reading from the get go that MS were considering having a HD less next gen machine option.
Wow! Impressive. The Xbox 360 is future proof people. When TV comes in 1080P standard. Bam! Xbox 360 will be outputting at 1080P. When TV comes in super duper 4000+ res standard, BAM! the Xbox 360 will be outputting at that resolution. Good job Microsoft!! So what if your TVs upscaling it. Upscaling, rendering, outputting...blah blah blah they are all the same!!!
They did dropped the ball on one thing though. They should've just have games rendered at 480P and save even more system resources. Your HDTVs will be outputting the games at the *minimum* of 720P.
