First of all, Wikipedia is not exactly a good source, neither is IGN and their "insiders". Who could that be? Ubi? EA? Just consider that some of those guys games run worse on the PS3 compared to the 360 despite being a known fact that the PS3 is more powerful than the 360. I wouldn't trust them for anything related to hardware. And as a GC owner that played many GC games, I must say that nothing on the GC compares to Mario Galaxy. And no, I'm not saying it looks better than 360 games eh! @souixan: Maybe Nintendo doesn't unlocks the HD resolutions because the Wii lacks the clock speed to render it at an acceptable framerate, especially considering the things some 3rd party developers have done on the Wii (PS2 graphics with low framerate). On another note, Gran Turismo 4 supported 1080i on the PS2... at how much framerate I don't know. |
Maybe but 720p isn't -too- heavily demanding. 480p would definatly be capable of higher frame rates easier though from what I've seen the Wii's GPU is more capable then the Xbox's clock speed is important but there's a LOT of other factors involved with them. Pipelines, shaders etc It's possible and likely they kept games to 480p in order to keep framerates at a smooth 60(as far as PS2 games with low framerate that seems fault of developer I can see no reason for that to be a problem in all logic.) but honestly if they did 720p upscalling I could still see most games running smoothly at 40 FPS which is still very good, some at 60FPS.(to put it in perspective I've played PC games that max at 20FPS by nature it never really bothered me.. so long as it's smooth and doesn't dip or dramatically raise you won't notice it too much)
