whats the deal with 720?

i just got a ps3 and yea its pretty awesome but something is bugging me i also own a xbox 360 and a reasonably good hdtv 1080p. all my setting are set to 1080p on my ps3, the dashboard is 1080 so why are uncharted 2 and infamous and every game ive played so far in 720p? i cant help but think i am missing something when my xbox is playing games in 1080p i expected the same from my PS3. can someone tell me why this is please. uncharted 2 still looked freakin great!!!

The last 4 games i bought:

Infamous,

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Assassins Creed 2

Borderlands

All except Infamous will play in 1080p. My TV auto switches depending on the resolution and they all play in what it say on the box.

Upscaled or not, (which i don't think they are) they all look excellent

some games look just a little better on 360 in "upscaled" 1080P, like borderlands did but is it really the difference tween 1080 and 720 or does it have something to do with some game developers building on 360 and then porting to PS3. i love infamous i rented and took it right back and bought it. gonna go out in a few and rent a couple more games any recommendations? im new to the PS3 world but eager to explore.

i played AC2 on 360 and damn thats a great game! im curious to play it on ps3.

I thoroughly recommend Killzone 2

It's only in 720 ;) but it is the single most beautiful game on the PS3

is resistance 2 any good?

i have heard alot of good things.

A guy at work spent months playing for his platinum and still plays it now he has it.

Personally, i didn't much like Resistance 1 so i didnt bother with 2

i tried to play killzone 2 but could not get into it. that first level and intro didnt look like anything special to me graphics wise,sure it had some nice touches but for the most part another grey, bleak, colorless space marines game to me. but then again i didnt play it for too long for all i know it coulda got better. i really tried to play on longer too but just couldnt. also i have a huge problem with the ps3 controller! its way too small and the left analog stick is in the wrong place.

has anyone used the DreamGear brand PS3 controller? its kinda a PS3 360 hybrid third party controller

most games are in 720 because the human eye (for most of us) cannot detect the difference in pixel rate between it and 1080. unless your screen is larger than 60 inches. im also told that games seem to run better in that resolution. as for games looking better on the 360, those are multi-plat games that are generally developed with the 360 in mind and ported over to the ps3 because of the lack of knowlege and fear that devs have over working with sonys processor.

FYI i almost never quit playing a game as early as i did killzone 2. many games dont get really good in the first level/ early moments and take a minute to get going real good but u know when u play a game u dont like right away and you know when there no way thats gonna change farther into the game

thats why im excited to play all the PS3 exclusives cuz the 360 cant compete with its raw power.

patience my friend. theyre just starting to scratch the surface with what the ps3 can do, and look at all the great exclusives that thrived this year. nothing but good things on the horizon for the ps3.

Hey, it's HD and it's not 480p. I'd say there's nothing to complain about.

my thoughts exactly. All my TV does is 720p, and I think it looks orgasmic

Maybe because some games are only 720p? :? And the 360 doens't play games in 1080p native. It only upscales them.uRan_Ehr

[QUOTE="shawty1984"]

[QUOTE="uRan_Ehr"] Yep same here. I think I read something about you need to have at least a 40" screen and you have to stand at least 3 meter right in front of it to see a difference between 720p and 1080p. uRan_Ehr

It's funny how enraged you are and just ignore most of what other peoples already said and just make one post after another on how kewl the 360 is since it does the same as the PS3 ...uRan_Ehr

[QUOTE="shawty1984"]

Wrong. Ive got a 24" 1080p monitor and its great. 1080p at 24" is the same as 1080p at 100", you just need to adjust your viewing distance. Resolition is fixed, it doesnt change due to screen size.

Look on the back of the game box, it tells you what the game will output in.

The human eye can barely distinguish between 720p and 1080p, especially with TVs under 42" and sitting a certain distance away from the TV. It's just a number. Most of the people who complain that something isn't 1080p probably can't even tell the difference in the first place. And honestly, does that really take away from the enjoyment of a game?

Upscaled games look ugly, natural resolution is best.

MW2, Cod:WaW, Quantum of Solace are some of my games that they are 1080p
