Yawn... Another multiplat with lower resolution on PS3 -> Bioshock.

I'm just looking forward to the time that people realise resolution != visual quality. GTA4 showed that though the PS3 had a lower resolution, it had arguably better shader effects, hence making it overall a better looking game. Now GTA4 isn't a brilliant example because the graphics were ok not great, but if the PS3 Bioshock uses better shaders or higher res textures (likely given extra space) then a lower screen resolution doesn't mean it will be graphically inferior. It might be, but it won't solely be the resolution that causes it.

And secondly, who gives a toss? 14% less resolution will make bugger all difference, which is apparent given that reviews for PS3 bioshock haven't made mention of the fact. If it was noticeable, they would have brought it up.

Pacman at 1920 by 1080 will still look crap, just really highly detailed crap. Resolution isn't everything.

All I know is this:

Anti-aliasing is less needed on higher resolutions (for example, 1440x900 with no AA at medium settings for many different games still look better than 1080x640 with 2x-4x AA on high settings.). Thus, they can focus on upgrading other things as well on the high resolutions, right?
