i was surprised to find that most games available currently available only display in 720p, including the upcoming UT3. being the owner of a fullHD tv, i was wondering how many games do people own that are 1080p capable?
do you play them on a Full HD tv?
when you go to the shops, do you specifically look for 1080p on the back of covers?
and do you think 1080p is needed, or are you happy with 720p?

(last one probably only applies to FullHDTV owners )

all input appreciated

When i was looking into buying my HDTV, i realised that there wasn't many games that were even able to be displayed in full HD.

So in the end i just got a normal HDTV, that supports 720p and 1080i.

And it does the job just fine.

I own a full HD BRAVIA and from top of my head i think Ridge Racer 7 is the 1 of the only 1080 games but im pretty happy with how spectaculer the 720 games look like, Uncharted looks awesome.

But the PS3 isn't a year old in Austalia yet so im guessing the best is yet to come

actually COD4 is 640P from memory and then upscaled.

either way be happy with your FULL HD screens and when you watch Blu Ray movies then you will get the maximum PQ with your sets.

my tv is only 720P, and im currently happy with that resolution for now.

And yet it was still a crappy game

Almost all the games i own are in 720p except for Call of Duty 4 but i tend to not to notice since i'm concentrating on playing.

lol yeah, i only realised after buying the TV that only like 14 games or something at in full HD, which kinda shocked me.

the new tellie we got is a full hd bravia too, with the free ps3, but its good to hear that you say the games look good upscaled.


like you said about PQ, im looking forward to blu-ray!

At the moment 720p is good enough. In a few years when the devs get better at ps3 development you will see a lot more games that can run in 1080p. But at the moment most games will have to sacrifice something like frame rate or Anti Aliasing quality to get up to 1080p.

But having a 1080p is great for watching Blu rays and other HD content.

remember they made the PS3 and they said that all games would be 1080P. Ah well, i'll never believe the specs of new consoles again.

remember when PS3 had 2xHDMI and so many cool features, ah well.

An 720p game looks just as good on a 768 screen as it does upscaled on a 1080p screen....to me at least. Have not played a 1080p game yet, but expect it will look great. Shame that the PS3 seems to be best suited to 720p. Frame rate seems to be the issue with 1080p. Super Stardust HD is 1080p I think, and that does look awesome!!!

Ninja Gaiden Sigma is 1080p compatible and no joke, visually the game melts eyeballs especially on 1080p resolution, it is pure gold. Virtua Fighter 5 is another stunner in 1080p

I think the only game I have that is 1080p is the Lego Star Wars game. Havent really played it that much & to be honest I cant see much difference between it & the other games I own.

Sony never promised that "ALL" games would be in 1080p, they promised that the the PS3 "WOULD" be able to reach that definiion. Microsoft also claimed that Sony would never be able to reach 1080p in gaming, that it was "impossible" lol..

So I'm guessing the 360 can't support 1080p at all?
