Sega is releasing Virtua Tennis 3 XBox 360 in 1080p. EA will be releasing NBA Street Homecourt also in 1080p. On DVD! Are there any PS3 1080p games out there?

----------------------------------------------------------------

1080p is the resolution of the gods. Promised by Sony, attainable by few displays, and argued about all over the Internet, 1080p is something that doesn't affect many television owners while remaining a major sticking point in the current console wars. Microsoft gave the 360 the ability to run games in 1080p in the October firmware update, and frankly I never thought we'd see many games support it. Then of course Sega announced that Virtua Tennis would support 1080p on the 360, and now EA is on the bandwagon, saying that its game is also going to support the hallowed resolution:

Following yesterday's news that Sega's March 20 release of Virtua Tennis 3 would herald the first Xbox 360 game to feature native 1080p support, a representative from Electronic Arts has revealed to Gamasutra that its upcoming NBA Street Homecourt, shipping a month earlier on February 20, will also support the high end resolution on Xbox 360...

The fourth game in the EA's fast action basketball series, and the first for a next-gen console, NBA Street Homecourt will support multiple resolutions, including 16:9 1080p at 30fps, according to further information from EA representatives.

So there you go. Now we have two games coming out for the 360 that will support 1080p as a resolution. My question would be-outside of the hardcore console fans and bleeding edge consumers-do people really care about 1080p? Does your television support it? My television runs at 720p natively, so this is all academic to me. I like games to be playbe at 1080p, but it's not that much of a sticking point for me. Does it influence your buying decisions? Will you be more likely to buy a game with more titles that run in "True HD?"

Old news, and wrong place to post your gloating too. Try the Xbox section.

1080p PS3 games? Try Ridge Racer 7, and the newly released Virtua Fighter 5. You are treading on hot water, friend. Or a slippery slope, take your pick.

BTW, Ridge Racer 7 was 1080, from Day 1, without the need for any superfluous updates that the 360 needs to go 1080p. You didnt hear the Sony folks making a big fuss about that like you did here now, do you?

1080p games only NOW? Pffffttt, the PS3 had them since launch. Get with the program! Or get updated at the very least!

oh i didnt know .. not much of a PS3 fan ... its still fun to see 1080p games on dvd instead of the Blu-ray's 50GB storage disks though

Onward with the defense brigade! The house is still burning down though! Careful it's shamefully hot!

I could go on XNA, be an independent dev. and develop my version of Table Tennis/Pong with the XNA license and develop it at 1080p native, and release it on DVDs for 360. Would that make me your hero? It's fun isnt it? God, i have tears rolling down my cheeks now!

good that my posts are cheering people up

Have you even heard of the concept where games are developed 720p native and the game devs uses the hardware internal scalers to enable other resolutions for the game, and slap it as 1080p enabled?? Big deal if it goes 1080p now, if it goes by that trick! God, you're dense!

XNA is really that good. Good luck trying to be an independent dev for the PS3.

Well if you cant put out the fire, deflect the fire! Put on your firemen suit yet, it's 5000 degrees out there!

i am not trained in fire fighting.

I didn't even realize there was a fire. Calm down. I was only agreeing with what you said.

Sony instilled siege mentality is working on its loyal consumers .

Is there a feature in LYN forums that you can SAVE a thread for later references? I'd PAY Se7en RM100 on the spot for that feature right now!

Zen is what the thread like until the other camp sieged it with its rather klutzy targeting mechanism. Dont blame the other party when you started the fire first, and end up burning you own house!
