Natively speaking I mean. Which games at the moment (or to come) are already running 1080p and/or 60fps (or are announced to run like that)? I only know of one, that being Gran Turismo 5. Is MGS4 at 1080p? Are there any more?

 

 GT5 = Not 1080p

Nowhere near in fact, its 1080 pixels HIGH but not 1920 WIDE as "1080p" standard dictates. Its something like 1280x1080 or around that.

NOT 1080p

WipeoutHD = Not 1080p

The resolution switches in game, between different resolutions depending on the demand being placed on the PS3 to render the scene. If it switches res, its not a "1080p" game.

Not 1080p

 

 

The only games that I know of that are, apart from any psnxblive arcade games, virtua tennis 3 and some basketball game but can't remember which one it was.

ok, I know it has been corrected and you noted th correction already but the misinformed posts still continue.  dumbed down facts:

-1080p means 1080 lines of vertical resolution and p stands for progressive.  1280x1080(p) and 1920x1080(p) are in fact both 1080p

-1920x1080(p) is implied with a widescreed aspect ratio

 

So yes it does run 60fps @1080p, but the question is: what is TrueHD/FullHD? Is there even such a thing?  How can we tell?  the questions can go on forever.  The best guideline I can give in a dumbdowned fashion is:  there will never be a TrueHD/FullHD game on a console.  It would frankly take too much effort and use up way too many of the GPU's resources.  The only non-downloadable game that is currently going to come close to TrueHD/FullHD is GT5 and frankly it is still a ways off.  Good thing is  99% of people won't even notice the difference.

 

bottomline: enjoy your games, your eyes more than likely can't tell any difference.  this concludes my dumbed-down approach to this.  Thanks to those of you who know what your talking about.  There are a few of us who appreciate your knowledge (thanks frosty to name one).
