Well it should be a bit softer,plus like all ps3 games its little brighter.It will still look great on your TV,no doubt.360 version looks great,I wouldn't guess it was 1152x720 if I didn't know it.
EDIT.
Well they said they saved 14 megs and 4 ms of RSX time dropping it from native(i guess) resolution.Every GPU is more "efficient" on lower resolutions,less pixels to render
Indeed, I'm pretty sensible to the subhd... I noticed that in everygame coming out

Is it so necessary 14 MB & 4 ms on the RSX? In what exactly?
Rockstar used same resolution(737280 pixels) on RDR PS3 too.
It may be memory issue too.
Well yea,who does not:smile: I mean...I understand them,there is alot of stuff happening in this game,its anything but corridor shooter and there had to be lowered resolution.Lots of effects,lots of shadows are real time(every shadow?),quite "unpredictable" game in comparison to most shooters.Indeed, I'm pretty sensible to the subhd... I noticed that in everygame coming out
I think if 360 didn't have eDRAM it would go lower than this so its kind of blessing and a curse.
Is it necessary?Well thats more than 10% of GPU time and quite a lot of mb,go figure

I understood, but I'm pretty curious what would changed without that.... how features we would sacrified?
Hard to say...dropping some features from GPU might give you ms in return but what with memory?I guess they pretty much use every byte of it...

isn't VF5 running in 1024*1024 on both consoles?
coupled with msaa4x looks very good, one of the cleanest looking games out there

1024x1024 seems like a fine resolution to me. What it lacks horizontally it compensates for it vertically. I remember Quaz51 saying that a drop in the vertical resolution -typical 720p- is more noticeable than the same thing in the case of the horizontal resolution.
Simply put, vertical objects gain more from horizontal resolution (i.e. characters, trees etc). Horizontal objects gain more from vertical resolution (i.e. ground, cars etc).
True, I mean you do want to avoid the upscale.
On a side note, I've been wondering how many "720p" games on PS3 are actually 1280x704 for alignment (there's something about RSX working on tiles with a 64-pixel dimension). Of course, that'd need a fairly large check of steps/pixels, but in the grand scheme, it's not like 16 pixels will be missed by the majority of users due to overscan on TV. The reason I bring that up here is because the leaked SDK document did mention setting the PS3 version to 704 height in one of the earlier builds. 1024 is more recent.
It's a curious result. It's hard to say if they're comparing the change from 1152 or 1280 (probably the former). At any rate, just from the deferred lighting setup and the Light Propagation Volumes, there are a large number of buffers implied. Then there's the extra storage for the frame reprojection & other post-process effects...
