Ninja Gaiden 2 not so HD

Beyond3D does the maths.

The Ninja Gaiden 2 demo has been released on the Japanese Xbox 360 Marketplace, and like clockwork has brought out the technical gurus to analyse the game's 'native' resolution.

According to Beyond3D, Ninja Gaiden 2 runs at a resolution of only 1120x585, or 585p. While right now this figure is only for the demo, major factors like rendering resolution rarely change between demo and retail game - for example, the Haze demo's resolution of 576p ended up being the same as in the final game. The way these games get away with it is that they're 'up-scaled' by the machine post-rendering to whatever the console is set at, much like an up-scaling DVD player does with an SD video image.

Whatever the pixel count, Ninja Gaiden 2 will be released in the coming weeks and you can expect a review from PALGN shortly after release.

sorry if this article has been posted before, i looked in the forums and couldnt find it!

do you think the retail game will have 585p resolution or 720p. this will be a good game though, but im wondering why they could not use a base like sigma and improve on it.
