I hate consoles for not adhering to a proper 720p, 2xAA standard, esp. PS3.

don't believe the lies, read the box. all games are magnificient 1080p.

SO TRUE!!! Come on people its on the Case it must be real...




NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! And there are alot of ignorant people that think it is true.

The 360 is guilty of that as well, so much for the "All games must be at least 720p" from Microsoft. Halo 3 wasn't even 720p.

If valid: Great for people with low-end-to-mid-range PCs who don't want to feel like they're missing out on anything. Otherwise, no so great.

Its on consoles, on PC there is no cap unless they have same DOOM'ish/Prey'ish 60Hz cap.

Also this...


Quake Con keynote

7:25: "By the the time that DOOM 4 ships to consoles, PC will be light years ahead of current consoles. In this case, the PC version will support significant visual improvements over 360 or PS3 versions. Rage, on the other hand, will more or less look the same across all platforms it's available on."

I would die if it was capped at 30fps on PC.

Xbox 360 doesn't do 1080P? My buddy has one, and under the settings for the XBOx itself we set it to 1080i (that's all his TV supports). The image quality in every game looks night and day better. But it really isn't 1080 though...?

there is maybe one or two games on 360 that are really 1080p.

all other rames are rendered at 720p or in many cases lower then 720p, then upscaled by internal chip to higher resolution.

call it what you want, but think of it this way. Take a picture at 2mp and then resize it to 5mp.

Will that resized 5mp picture look the same as normal 5mp picture? HELL NO

The hardware can output 1080 and the games themselves can support that resolution (which, at with required anti aliasing may be a significant performance hit). Otherwise the Xbox simply scales the lower res output to 1080. MS specifies a minimum 1280x720 2xAA but this is negotiable if you can prove your need or method since the goal of the requirement is great looking games with competitive and compelling visuals.

Edit:
Back to the topic though, we should not be concerned about Carmacks 30fps quotes. He is mostly referring to the consoles where it is common to talk about game speed in 60/30 fps or 1/2 frames. He is simply saying that by bumping up the detail the game will run a bit slower, but will still be smooth. The final signal will still be 60hz for LCD/CRT, but the input and animation will rarely go below 30, which is considered very interactive and responsive, while still surpassing classic movies and TV recorded at 25fps.
