Activision's 360 games not running in full 720p?

[pipo]

If the thread was entitled "Do you think the 360's graphics look good", then yes - it would make sense to critique a poster who was wondering if the games are truly running at 720p.

Fair point.

Most people posting in this thread (the usual suspects) do it for no other reason than to make a certain rival platform look better. Hence my reaction.

Having said that, specs (be it software or hardware) are changing all the time. Allard even admitted devs were 'cutting corners'. Let's hope they've learned a lesson.

It was obviously not your concern to begin with, so I'm at a loss to figure out why you bothered to contribute your er..."wisdom" in a thread devoted to a subject you care nothing about.

Cheers.

Of course the PS3 scales... just not the OS from 720p to 1080i... A game could choose to if it wanted (and can afford the costs).

Dropping the res a little bit and scaling (or sometimes just using black bars) is the oldest trick in the book and lots do it (and nobody seems to notice...)

Well it's kind of hard to see it on a regular crt screen, on a lcd/tft i think it's more noticible..

Dean is right and no..HS does not use any scaling/low res trick

nutella lover: couldn't insomniac used 2 different resolutions (1080i ,720p) directly suported in the game? those 2resolutions are "i think" at same cost for the game engine so, future games which are actually 720p can use 1080i also without perf loss.
any comments ?

Rendering interlaced is a whole different ballgame.
