| Dgc1808 said: I expect it to be much like 1080p on the PS3 now. Used just for movies. At best some lower end games like Disgaea, 2D fighters and simplistic PSN games with easier to render art styles like Sound Shapes will use it. Other than that, it will just be for movies. |
At best? While very few games on "BOTH" the 360 and PS3 run at native 1080p resolultion, it's not "just simplistic games" that are 1080p.
Wipeout HD, Gran Turismo 5, Sacred 2, and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 1 and 2. Like I said there aren't too many, but here are a few games that are native 1080p resolution rather than upscaled.
Unless they're PC gamers, one thing you might hear people saying is that you can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p and unless it's side by side and you take the time to look back and forth, usually you can't. It's not too big of a difference. But let's say you were running 720p and 1440p. The difference would be very noticeable and not for the reason that a lot of people think.
Higher resolution is like starting at a picture zoomed into 200% and then zooming out to 150% or 100%. There's less blur on the picture and you have a larger viewing space. It can also just have more pixels added onto the same picture to look more defined without increasing the viewing space.
Here's an example of going from a lower resolution to a high resolution picture.
