It is difficult without pictures to show

Can you take a pic? Up close of the inside texture of a sign or flag, but
including the long pole is it hanging on (preferably at a very slight angle in game).

Also, take a pic of the powerline in gthd and prologue.

I think it is easier if there were pics for comparison.

Perhaps a close pic of the "planet glow" too.

I understand that you are looking at a line to examine pixel resolution,
but there is way to test if textures exceed the normal pixel resolution...
see if patterns like: xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox exists instead of xoxoxxoxoxooxoxoxxooo

I believe that you are mistaken

Can anyone tell me the native resolution of soul caliber here http://ui05.gamespot.com/2212/soulcaliburonchankast.jpg

the game is running on chankast (dreamcast emulator) i set it to 1280x1024 then i made the window smaller to fit my 1440x900 monitor I'm wondering if the native resolution of the game is altered to me it looks like it is it definitely looks great though shadows are missing

native resolution seem 1280x1024

Thanks quaz thats good "news" it really didnt look like 640x480 to me but always better to check if you want to see better i can send you a bmp without resizing.

That only works if the texture is at 1:1 mapping with the render buffer. Because textures are being scaled all the time, you've no way to test whether the texture you're seeing is being scaled by being on a lower resolution buffer or through texture scaling. With anamorphic scalings and regular textures you may be able in some cases to determine different scaling amounts in different directions, but i doubt there'd be much accuracy obtainable in texture-resolution analysis.

Can these be of use to determine resolution?

Looks like 720p 2xMSAA, 0xAF, although the railings in the first screenshot are doing teh funneh.

(Mind you, I wouldn't say anything is final until the game is released and we get some capture data)

One should hope that this of all games would be 1080p.

You'd be surprised. Plenty of the little non-intensive games on the PSN haven't been 1080p.

Operation Creature Feature
AquaVita / Auquatopia
Eye Create
Lemmings
Toy Home
Trials of Topoq

Those games (at least) don't support more than 720p.

Youd hope it'd be 4xAA as well

[Shifty Geezer]

It should be better than that! They should use a proper line-drawing algo' for 'perfect' AA. They could have given it a bit of artistry too, creating a hand-drawn look or something. I think the game is too minimalist!

Agreed. But in lieu of that, it probably shares a LOT of code with the PSP version.

Yes and more than that, and all the XBL games too, it's too bad!

blah.... XBLA/PSN games should be mandated to run at stupendously large framebuffers with maximum hardware-supported AA..... and then downscaled of course. (unless the game is 2D)

Surely, none of the games is taking up more than 400MB in memory at a given time?

in the setting you can decrease the display size to ~1024x576 but it isn't 720p downscale in 576p (that would improve IQ), it's really 576p rendering resolution (zero profit, or perhaps more stable framerate) then it's important to adjust setting for gamer with TV without overscan like me and put the game in Full screen!

it's 1280x720 AAx2 finally

[AlStrong]

Thanks for the heads up. I missed it as I was skimming.

So the rendered part is adjustable up to the full 720p frame?

the size of the rendering window is adjustable and without rescale trick. the rendering resolution = the window size (and it's between 576p and 720p)

At least the XBOX will upscale.

Do they still sell those?
