First 1080p Xbox 360 Games Announced
rwven writes "In the October firmware update to the Xbox 360, Microsoft added the capability for their new console to reach the coveted 1080 resolution. EA and Sega have both announced new titles that will reach that resolution, the first for the system. They're not the most visually intense games (NBA Street Homecourt, and Virtua Tennis 3), but this is another symptom of the tight race between all three consoles. Does this change the playing field at all between Sony and Microsoft?" Moreover, does the resolution of a title matter all that much to you yet? Do you have an HDTV that can even reach 1080p? If you do, does reaching 1080p make you more likely to buy a game?
What is this RL you speak of, and please give me its web address so I can subscribe to the RSS.
disclaimer: I've been known to store numbers in my ass for which to dig out when quantities are required.
You're leaving out the critical 2-5% of the population with friends/roomates capable of 1080p. Not to mention the 20-30% who watch those screens with slack-jawed delight at the Best Buy. Supply side resolution. With all the recent talk of 120hz, I've become convinced that there's no such thing as hi-def, only higher than what you have.
One of the main reasons you hear so many developers bitching about working on the 360. And why so many 360 games end up using fake marketing shots to hide the AA/jaggy problems that plagued actual in game 360 graphics.
Hi, welcome to Slashdot!
I see you managed to make your first post okay, despite the posting interface being different from the PS3Fanboy forums you're used to.
I think you're going to settle in very well here. Many posters on Slashdot are also teenage virgins obsessed with other people's choice of game system.
But I know how you feel! It really makes my blood boil when I see someone recommending a different system to the one my mummy bought me for Christmas. One day I'm going to steal the pistol out of my dad's underwear draw and teach them all a lesson!
Best of all is just to turn off the TV altogether. Then it's just pure gameplay! That's what the Wii is all about.
