This means the PS3 can do it. And soon more games will have it but for now developers are still learning the PS3.

Anyway, a console, unlike a PC, is normally an investment for 6-8 years and PlayStation has always been a surprising scalable system. Who would believe God of War 2 was possible to do on the PS2 when it come out? I wouldn't.

PS: I rather have 60FPS and 720p than 30FPS 1080p. 30FPS, especially on a shooter, is stressful on my eyes.

you can count frames? There is barely any visible difference between a locked 30FPS and locked 60FPS.

If you check all the PSN games, like I said, at least 90% of all of them are running at 1080p.


Ouch... not true at all sir. There is a large difference between 30 and 60 fps. You can play CS at 30fps, and ill play at 60fps and I'll pwn you all night long.


ssj12 said 30fps LOCKED. Which means no more, no less; just 30 frames per second. That's enough for all kinds of games (FPS and sports too).


When I lock a game (as stated, we'll use counterstrike) at 30 fps, and then lock it at 60 fps, I notice an immense difference. The eye will notice a difference up until the 50-60fps range, but after that, there is no difference.

I do not believe that the human eye can see differences over 30fps. Yet the suggested fps is mere a mean value, a game running at 30fps will produce something in between 15 and 45 fps and the part that goes under 25fps is indeed noticable.

With a game running at 60fps you may suspect that in 99% of the cases the framerate will be above 24fps. 

Also dont forget that the GPU of the PS3 is almost identical to the GPU that you can find in the XBox. So it isn't surprising that we have similar looking games since the Cell is the only difference and is currently preforming lower to equal to the XBOX cpu.
And in theory the XBOX and PS3both have far too less memory to have 1080p games, as someonesaid. Modern PC games require 1GB main memory and some games already 512MB video memory. So the possibilities are limited.
