"No 1080p For PS3 Games"

Isnt this a moot point, since most (at least monitors....) sets can display 1:1? IE if you have a 1080P display, you can set it to 1:1 mode and sure, the picture will be smaller but it will run its naitive 720P mode? Or is this a feature thats exclusive to PC montiors?

 

My display doesn't have that option, and frankly, I don't want it. I watch 720p cable all the time and it looks great.

 

Amoi LC42T1E (EU model) and yes, the panel is made by Chi-Mei.

 

Most cable is in 1080i not 720p,so 1080p would be better.

 

I believe Fox is 720p while CBS and NBC are 1080i. The 1080i cable probably looks better, but I'd have to switch channels to tell (certainly CSI Miami looks really good right now...too bad the show sucks).

 

CBS has by far the best HD system in the US market

regardless of resolution their stuff is just crisper and finer and better than any other... for sports or programs...my set is 1080i BTW

 

WOW! To me CBS has the worst HD picture out of the three. I like Fox the best.

 

Re-calibrate your tv...or get it calibrated in the first place. While I'm not sure what content to which you are referring sports vs. tv show, I believe that CBS is the only one of the majors that does not multicast.

 

I'm talking about Sunday Football.

 

I can't say if I liked the Bears more on CBS or FOX in games 1 or 2, but I LOVED the outcome! I think NBC has the worst, more multicasting, just enough bitrate to be called HD...

 

All PS3 will have HDMI(?)

Did anyone catch this? Or am I just late...

That'd make entry-level a lot cheaper for a number of people who's chief concern was the HDMI port in choosing between SKUs. Nice if true. Probably important as well, as without it support for 1080p content (games as well as movies - sounds like there will be some) on TVs would be constrained.

 

Wow, the number of games runnng at 1080p is growing everyday. Did Sony put 256bit bus for graphics memory or something?

 

current list from what I know
-Ridge Racer 7
-NBA 07
-LAIR
-Resistance: Fall of Man
-Virtua Tennis 3
-GranTurismo:HD
-Mobile Suit Gundam
-Wardevil

*ninja gaiden sigma is rumored to be 1080p.
*SKATE (EA) is rumored to be 1080p.
*MGS4 is rumored to be 1080p
*Army of Two is rumored to be 1080p

of course nothing is confirmed until the game is shipped, so take that as whatever you like.
its also worth noting that the ps3 will decode TrueHD audio.

Can someone explains to me how does it work? Does it really mean the PS3 will decode the TrueHD audio? Once it does what does it do with it? Does the PS3 have 7.1 speaker output setup? Or is it a pass-thru thingy? Where TrueHD audio is passed through the PS3 into the a stereo system?

 

Yeah I think it's safe to say it really decodes the audio. Im pretty sure it's passed through HDMI, which is then passed to your HDMI equip'ed receiver. The thing is now that its confirmed decoding the audio, you dont need a expensive HDMI 1.3 reciever that decodes the audio for you. A regular HDMI reciever should suffice. Atleast thats my understanding, I'm not really that informed when it comes to home audio, but thats what I got out of it. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

Resistance: Fall of Man is said to use 7.1 uncompressed audio.

Looks like 1080p is in even for MS now

 

isn't this topic over since the Lair dev clearly say that their game is in pure/real/honest to goodness/native 1080p. and that they are not using any tricks, or upscaling or such?

or are there some who would question the devs at hand?

 

Yeah this thread is basically OVER. 1080p will happen with some games.
