Nope, 720p. I haven't downloaded the update yet though, I'm hoping it will magically improve the framerate to silky-smooth-60hz :P

I just bought this. Slightly disappointed. I have played Motorstorm 1 demo before and frame rate seems worse. Frame rate means a lot to me especially in this kind of games, the silky smooth update in M1 was the thing that made the demo so enjoyable to me. Not 100% sure about this but for sure is...

About half a year ago there was some discussion about a backwards compatible PS3 revision coming up some time. I remember some estimates that a new revision (60GB HD IIRC?) would come around June'08. These talks seem to have died now? Is there any new info on this issue? I postponed my...

? Take any job that requires a decent degree and it's guaranteed that the guy in US has at least double the money in his hand after getting paycheck and paying his taxes, compared to the guy in scandinavia doing the same job.

I started my first few years of PS2 gaming as a glass half-full type, found that the results were unsatisfying, changed to half-empty mode, and found that it more accurately models the reality with Sony published games. Now I am more in harmony with the world as a glass half-empty type, you...

Software development projects, especially as complicated as modern games, are extremely difficult things to manage and succeed in. Opposite to what most gamers and critics think, it does not take "evil, corrupt managers" and "lazy-ass coders" to produce a turd. It takes a really cracking A-team...

LOL I take it you did not wait for GT3 for PS2 (among others), which was originally supposed to be a launch game...I did and I know how Sony plays the game. I would not bet on gta gt5 mgs4 dmc4 army of two ffxiii maybe killzone 2 maybe Resistance 2 by the years end. Besides, that is not the...

I still have several uncompleted PS2 games and a lot of guitar hero / singstar type of stuff that is very demanded on house party type of situations. BC is an issue of having one ugly box and several cables less to clutter my living room with. Given the choice, I'd gladly pay like 50€ extra...

oh shut up. I am aware that it's only one part of the game, that's why I am hoping that other parts are more colorful What's so hard to understand about that?

At times the gameplay trailer does not exactly impress polygon-count or texture-wise. I mean it is OK but very far from being anything revolutionary. Some parts definately make me feel a bit last-gen-ish. I also hope they are going to have some parts with more colors than grey, brownish grey...

Nah, waiting. There's actually no games that I am really excited about. Maybe I am getting old. I have a long backlog of great games to finish on PS2 still. I am fine with waiting 6 months or so and seeing how X360 and PS3 games start to differentiate themselves. A price cut would not hurt...

HDR On the average, I think it hurts more than it helps. There are some cases where it's done with good taste but more of those where HDR is used just because "you are supposed to". I get that it is the latest gimmick, and everyone and their uncle are doing it, but does every game have to look...

Sure. Absolutely nothing wrong with that! My message was just aimed towards the people in this thread who are saying that the screetshots are technically impressive.

That's exactly what WRC engine (and other similar terrain engines) from PS2 would look like with higher resolution + AA. It's nice but nothing technologically revolutionary.

For example 80% of european HD sets?
