Yeah i guess so. The link to the guy who said that thing about that resolution, linked to some wallpapers and screenshots.

If you click on the link there, he's implying that by looking at the screenshot, he knows the native resolution, which imo is very weird. |
Well if he knows the native res, he would know they were captured at 1600x900 and downscaled to 1280x720. So he's wrong about the native res of the screenies to. See Manipulation "Bullshots" thread for the native res on latest ME2 screenshots.

Look I don't claim to know how they do it, cuz it's got to do with pixel counting, then some maths....and normally I would disregard this till final game came out, but I've been following this forum, and have seem forum members work their magic and determine render rez from demos, and gameplay pictures even when upscaled.
There have been cases where developers have even confirmed this....Haze, halo 3, and Ghostbusters were three of these developers that have admitted to it but only try save face by pointing out what they could do better because of the lower rez, there has also been many many more games which they have determined the native rez, thus far they have not been wrong.
So given all of this, It's hard not to believe them, especially when they haven't been wrong thus far.
Aslo, there are some of them that work for Eurogamer, so take this as you will.

They have been wrong before. I understand exactly how they do it with the maths and pixels. But on this occasion with this game it has been downscaled not upscaled. Which means the maths would add up to 1600x900 not less than 720p as is being claimed. Downscaling actually improves the screenshot with less jaggies in many cases.
For instance Halo 3 photomode internally captures the image at 8064x4480 but downscales and outputs at 720p. Even though Halo 3 while playing is only ever 640p

Apparently Mass Effect 2 is still 720p on first glance. Take a look here:

Game is apparently V-Synced, no texture pop-ins, native 720p and 2xMSAA, with almost no framedrops except for some cinematics.. Pretty good.
