GAMES: GameSpot GameFAQs MOVIES: Metacritic Movietome Comic-Con
Sunday, May 10, 2009

Little known fact i found out the other day. i say little known because it was the first time i'd heard of it and being the case of what it is, i figured i would have heard of it alot sooner....

Apparently, forsome reason or another, most game companies don't release PS3 titles in 1080p. The Xbox360 version, oh sure theres no problem there. But when it comes to the PS3 version, they decide to cut corners??? The BS reason i got was how the PS3 is so hard to make for (give me a break, still with this excuse?) and alot of these companies don't have the money/resources to go about doing it for the PS3 (but they can do it for the 360 instead?). Kinda garnishing the market aren't we? they either can't or won't be bothered to release both titles in 1080, so they release just the one, and when it comes to a custoemr like me (both systems and 1080p TV) you're gonna want the game that looks better and stands out, right? almost seems like an unfair advantage....am i right?

Store Clerk: what kind of tv do you own?

Customer: oh, i have a 1080p flatscreen 5 billion inch screen that takes up the great wall of china and i'm looking for a game that takes advantage of that.

Store Clerk: in that case, stay away from most PS3 games, they only release them in 720-kiss my arse-p.

Customer: you've totally made up my mind.

Come on, thats just plain stupid. Isn't PS3 billed as the fully HD system?? then why is it we can't get a friggin game released in 1080p?!?! If its so friggin hard, call Sony up and ask them how to do it or for help in doing it but don't just blatantly not do it!!!! thats the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard and its unfair to customers. Over half my games are on the PS3, tho had i had known about the 1080/720p thing i might have bought otherwise. Which some how doesn't seem fair to me. like its purposely tipped on the other side. i mean if you can't do it for both then don't just do it for one and leave the other one hangin cause thats kinda unfair to those who only own a PS3. Surprised i hadn't heard much about this cause its one of those REAL problems that come around every so often and is worth to complain about.

Don't just leave this problem as is.......@#%$&* FIX IT YOU LAZY BASTARDS!!!!!!

Well only a few have a full HD TV and you need a big one to really tell the difference between 1080p and 720p but yeah,you have a point.I think that it needs more develop time to make the game run at 1080p so they prefer 720p

Lazy game developers >_> Its a good thing that Blazblue and King of Fighters will be running at 1080p

they friggin better be. i mean ok, the PS3 is hard to make games for, its the same thing they said about the PS2 when it first came out, get over it already. But don't just releases one in 1080 and not the other, thats just stupid

Which games released for the 360 in 1080p, while not so for the PS3, then? It's kinda har to figure out what you're sayin' as I know NO GAMES that weren't released in identical resolutions on both platforms.

look closer, majority of third party titles are released on 1080p for the 360 and 720p on PS3. says so on the box, i just looked again just now, 100% of my 360 titles say 720p/1080i/1080p. not one.....NOT FRIGGIN ONE of my PS3 titles do. they all say 720p. the highest being Killzone 2 is 1080i. but anyone who knows or has checked 1080i is NOT better then 720p. BUT 1080P SURE IS!!!!!

I don't own a game for both systems (tho i almost did for street fighter VI). But the proof is on our shelves. its the most retarded thing i've ever heard! i refuse to believe its anymore expensive or time consuming to support 1080p on one system then another. Why have Bluray, which all PS3 games are on if no 1080p? whats the deal? barely anyone knows anything about this, i assume this cause i never hear about it. only heard about it not too long ago from friends who work at gamestop. they know cause they see it all day long. It' not made up BS or fanboy favoritism, i own all systems and i lean more towards my PS3, but i can't rationalize buying a game on my PS3 when it'll look better on xbox. My TV even switches to the available medium thats there. the friggin XMB on the PS3 is in FULL HD, but i pop in a game, it drops down to 720p. DAMNIT!! its not even just third party titles, i just mentioned Killzone2 and i just checked my littlebigplanet, only goes up to 720p.

I'm sorry, but if theres one thing worth Griping about its friggin this!!!

i just did a side by side comparison of Both Brutal Legend demos on either system. and yet again. it has changed my mind as far as what system i get this game for. tentatively anyway. I really don't understand why there has to be 2 version and why they both can't be in 1080p. it just makes no sense to me. Batman was a great game and again Still no 1080p...WTF ALREADY!!!!
