1080p and 60fps games?

Outside of downloadable titles, 1080p 60fps games are very rare. Like Nintendo, most developers realized that there are more important things than resolution even regarding graphics. Of course, upscaling makes even older titles look nicer, for example Xbox games running under the 360 look nicer than when they run on the Xbox.

On the other hand, there are more 60fps games on the Wii than on PS360. That's a symptom of the polygon-pushing-for-glorious-screenshots syndrome exhibited by PS360 developers. If a PS360 game runs at a stable 30fps without framerate drops, that's already reason to celebrate.

 

 

you clearly haven't seen wii ,ps2 or SD Video etc on a HD LCD, even on a small samsung 21' HD or a or full HD tv 32'.

 

it's a blurry mess, and not all tv have unscaling.

All HDTV's can downscale, or else you wouldn't see any picture at all on them.  It's just some do a better job of it than others.

Several Sony fans in here seem to be under the impression that the PS3 has enough hardware power to push 1920x1080@60 frames per second with the very fancy looking games...RR7 and those basketball games etc. didn't use as many effects, shiny stuff, etc - so the devs were able to get an acceptable framerate at that resolution out of the PS3's hardware.

But, take a more up to date game (even an exclusive one, like MGS4), and the hardware capabilities simply aren't there to be able to do it, no matter how much magic coding pixie dust the devs sprinkle on.  I wish that was not the case, but sadly it is...from a hardware standpoint, the PS3 was obsolete a while ago.

If you want 1080p/60fps with up to date games...just build yourself a computer.  It won't cost you very much more than the cost of a PS3 to do so either.
