Apparently Mass Effect 2 runs at 576p....another sub-HD game, infact it's exactly at SD resolution, which is a drop from Mass effect 1 which was 720p x2AA.

I just wonder what happened, if true, here's the link from a mode in beyond3d forum, these guys are usual on the money when it comes to native rendered resolutions, to take it as you will.

That looks darn good for a sub HD game!

most likely it'll have 4xAA.

The freed GPU resources are going to good use, their cranking up the polygon count to make characters as detailed as possible, but as some one else said, the frame rate and poppin better be fixed, otherwise the sacrifice isn't worth it, and man that would be such a shit storm that it will cause events from the movie 2012 to happen.

Still, as a HD console owner, I feel gipt when any game is released as sub-HD, it's even worse when their actually at 576p which IS SD resolution in Europe and Australia...at least one thing is for sure, it'll put a death to the thoughts that some wii fanboys have, some beleive that the wii is able to give HD like image quality but at SD resolution....this game so far disproves that 110%.

 

Well Halo 3 looked great, so no complaints from me.

However I found another article that says the screenshots of Mass Effect 2 are 1600x900, but then downscaled to 1280x720. The 360 frame buffer used for taking the screenshots will output the image in 720p. NOT 1600x900.

It's well worth reading the article.

My opnion is until Bioware allow someone to capture direct feed footage of a demo, then we cant know the res for sure. But all indications from the screenshots are it will be 720p. But the screenies were taken originally in 1600x900.

yeah read that, but that article is about 'Bullshots' that the media use to advertise a game, not the native res of a games, which is what the guy that I linked to was saying.

so most likely it'll be 576p x4AA then upscaled to 720p and displayed on your tv.
