Soul Calibur 2 Xbox will support 720p?!!!?

Simply said, PS2 and GC do not have the capabilities to do it. Too bad. Blame Xbox because it has more ram than the others.

Chap what are you talking about? Where did I "blame" XBox for anything? I simply corrected you on the fact that being able to do 720p does not make XBox 3 times more powerful then PS2 or GC, as you said earlier.

BTW just to be exact here PS2 and GC not being able to do 720p is not due to having less ram then XBox. Its due to having less framebuffer/Z-buffer ram. Basically the difference is in where the frame is rendered. XBox renders in main ram while GC and PS2 render in dedicated on-chip ram. If GC or PS2 rendered the frame in main ram they could then also do 720p.

This will prove that PS2 can handle 720p output (720p does not necessary be 1280x720, it can be 640x720 as long as the signal timing is correct)

Yeah GC could also handle 640x720. When I said 720p I was just talking about 1280x720.

Why the hell are you making such a big deal about 720p chap? Like the others say, it will only benifit about the few who has HDTV that actually supports that resolution.

Why use the fillrate to up the resolution when you can use it for more effects?? Does Quake 3@1600x1200/w8xFSAA@60 FPS look better than DOOM III@640x480/wNoFSAA@ 60 FPS??? Does having higher resolution on television improve your gameplay??? I seen the difference between 480i and 480p/720p on my friend HDTV, while it looked good, it's not mind-blowing.

That is very much an opinion that is open to discussion. It varies from game to game, but certain games in 480/720p are a massive leap over 480i.
