quez was that sarcasm, or is something wrong with 1080p... except for the fact that a 1080p could look better if it supported only 720p, i don' t see any problem.

...

First of all,if they managed to crank the resolution up to 1080p it means the graphic effects and textures wasn' t at its best.
If they could crank the resolution up to an extra level.

2nd of all people with SDTV and HDTV up to 720p/1080i lose again.

so true, and it shows Halo 3 is not that impressive , that' s why they have some room left for 1080p.

Halo has never been anything special in the graphics department. Some people think it looks cartoony, I think the style makes it look simple.

Multiplayer is what I' m interested in. And as long as I can get it in a decent HD resolution, I couldn' t care less about texture quality.

Erm... people with 1080i TV' s lose no matter what.

Woah, damn it. I would have preferred if they had concentrated on making the game look as good as CoD4, instead of making it run in " 1080p @ 120 fps" .

You realise that' d never happen right?

I mean, come on, the chances of Halo 3 coming to the PS3? Seriously.

Im sure halo3 gonna be one of the best fps ever made,dont get me wrong,can' t wait for the 4 player co-op etc.

But I hate when developers make 1080p games,I said it before and im not gonna hide it when games do support it.

Blue dragon however is a special case,because that game is a wonder on itself,it was made by a virgin on a holiday and it can crank itself up to 1080p for some mysterious reason.

Oh holy Blue dragon,how we love ya.

2 weeks!? I have to listen to 2 weeks of this?!



I might die a bit.

Moving right back on topic. I doubt that Bungie would really make that much of a graphical sacrifice to make everything run in 1080p. They' re aware that the number of people that are going to be playing their game in 1080p native is very very small, and they' re aware that if they make it too butt ugly, their complaints department is going to be swamped for months.

On the other hand. While the number of people who have 1080p displays is very low, for the most part they tend to be a very tech savvy crowd, and therefore quite a bit more vocal than the thousands of chavs playing on their 13" " high-quality" SDTVs. They would have gotten tons of angry feedback if they hadn' t supported it.

Erm...



3) Does the game support 1080p?

3) Yes, if your system does – through component or HDMI (depending on your TV and 360) and it is (wonderfully) scaled.


Keyword: scaled.

So Halo 3 does not natively output a 1080p signal. I assume it' s 720p upscaled to 1080p. If I understand things correctly, this does not take any extra processing power nor does it require them to lower the graphical fidelity of the game. They' re not sacrificing anything.

I' m not a real HD buff but that' s what I can see.

there is like 20% of the people with hdtvs that has 1080p support.

Dont see the reason to support it yet.
Just a waste for us others.

I can understand however that some developers might realise that ,hey wait the resolution didn' t affect hardly anything if they heavily focus on 3d effects from the start.
And then why not?
But if they developed with 1080p in mind them I think they' re doing us all not a service.

Do you mean to what extent? Couldn' t tell you that. I know next to nothing about the details of scaling.

Well... if it came directly from the Bungie page, there' s not a whole lot of room for correction there Quez.

My understanding of scaling is this:

Shit in, Shit out. You' re not going to be able to get any better than what the source is. It can' t just magically create detail. Some TV' s can probably mask some of the flaws but it' s going to be limited. Halo 3 was always designed from the ground up on 720p (as many console games are for PS3/360). You could probably scale Halo 3 to 8345436x325935 and it' ll still be rendering a 720p image.

We need a TV buff like Joe to really clarify things.
