Xbox 360 Not Hi-Def Enough?

Posted by Zonk on from the can't-you-love-me-for-who-i-am dept.

News for nerds writes "One of the features touted for Xbox 360 is its requirement for games to be 720p and 1080i HDTV resolutions, dubbed The HD Era by Microsoft. Today it's revealed and discussed in the official forum of Bizarre Creations, the Project Gotham Racing 3 developer, that in the final review build for PGR3 the in-game races are actually rendered in 1024x600 to get constant 30fps/2xAA. The game is stretched to 720p (1280x720) in the upscaler, which is faking HD at best." As always with late-night forum mutterings, imbibe with a grain of salt.

    Blah blah blah.

    Go and try to play some racing game with keyboard/mouse. It sucks and it doesn't hold a candle to playing with a control pad.

    The problem with PC players is that there is a group of them that want EVERY GAME to be a FPS. And the pc gaming market shows it, as most of it is FPS.

    Such an unimaginative crowd, the FPS fans...
