Possibly both.
Funny you bring up MGS4 though, it's rumored Sony is pushing that game for 1080p if that fan interview a while ago was anything to go by. Wish we had some more official confirmation. 'Grain of salt' rules until we get some I suppose.

No but obviously the first party developers are 'under orders' to say that they are supporting 1080p, so we have to be critical when we hear that a game is rendering at that resolution, unless stated explicitly as native.
MGS4 is a possibility. If this game is anything like MGS 2 it probably doesn't push the system more than other games being made but look better than most of them because of brilliant design and great direction. From what I've seen so far they are using any mind blowing tech that hasn't been used before but the way they present this tech is masterful and makes it look better than some of the most graphically intensive games ever released.

But what incentive is there for developers to target 1080p? To support the 1% of people that have one? Makes no sense to waste resources supporting a resolution that can't even be appreciated by the vast majority of the market. These are the same reasons the HS team stated for why they chose 720p.
I'm not really sure they are 'under orders' to say they are supporting 1080p, untold legends being 1080i on the official website would contridict that. On the other hand, I would believe Sony is trying persuade 1st/2nd party developers into getting their games for 1080p. And if it's not possible without massive downgrades, I assume the game will still end up being the intended resolution like Heavenly Sword and upscaling would be an option for the ones who don't support it natively.
Also, I thought wardevil was always a 1080p marketed title?
btw, Dr. Nick, ygpm.

Yeah, don't forget that 1920*1080 is more than twice as many pixels as 1280*720. Fill rate, pixel shading and texture sampling demands would probably increase by 100%, and even if they're not neccessarily the only bottleneck, achievable frame rate should still drop considerably. Scaling back world detail vs. screen resolution just does not worth it IMHO.
money?
the bulletpoint of having a nice looking game running natively at a high resolution like 1080p doesnt hurt for marketing either.
So you agree with me? lol
Er, by the way, could some developer describe the technical and resource differences between 1080i and 1080p?
AFAIK one could only render every other scanline in 1080i and run at an effective resolution of 1920*540, but at 60 fps? Or render full 1080 scanlines, and output the same image for every pair of frames? Or how exactly is it done?

Yeah thanks

no 1080p for games seems sensible, not only it's rare and expensive on TVs, but remember : 1080p is 30Hz. it would actually suck next to 60Hz 1080i and 720p.
This thread's large on the FUD and small on the facts.
I didn't put the lone star there, but it would seem to be well-deserved.

I know of at least one game that can run in native 1080P. You can take that to the bank
Your point though? 1600x1200 really is not uncommon, especially in a fugly game such as BF2.
Really, I MUCH rather have more world detail, making things more real art wise then have the fact that the game runs 1080P. I find it funny, probably 95% of those crying for 1080P do not even have a TV that supports it.
I don't care the slightest for 1080P, I wouldn't care one way or the other even if I had a TV that supported it; however even my PC monitor doesn't go that high.
What irritates me though is all the me-toos in this thread saying 1080P is impossible because - seemingly - their minds just can't comprehend it happening. That's just dumb.
It's NOT too much to ask that people be rational while posting, but it just isn't happening in this thread.

I like the capability. 1080p is where the HD train seems to be going anyway. The end of the line. If PS1 and 2 are anything to go by, PS3 will still be charging full steam ahead by then. 1080p tvs might still be in the minority of the market, but they will be out there in numbers. For those users, PS3 will be the only game in town.
Oh and I think many might be missing the point. 720p is probably the sweetspot for games, but web browsing, messaging, photoviewing, moviewhatching and all other os functions will benefit greatly from 1080p. Remember games are only part of the thing's functionality.
Eh, it's the same way many of us couldn't wrap our minds around dual HDMI out ports and the usefulness of such a thing.

Not really, a 1080i signal can be de-interlaced to produce a 1080p image anyways which is how the majority of current 1080p TV's work.
