It's not 1080p. It doesn't push as many pixels as 1080p and if anything 1080 it would be 1080i but that's not accurate either.
Basically they are using smoke and mirrors to try and achieve the quality (looks wise, not pixel wise) of a 1080p frame but it only achieves that when you are still. And even then, it's not a real 1080p picture. Of course, once you start moving, the whole aspect of trying to emulate a 1080p screen becomes moot when everything is blurred and smeared to hell and back.
They were fine to say 1080p because the game emulates it while not really achieving it, but as we all know from months of 1080p60 being thrown around here, gamers couldn't tell the difference. But when they say it's a native 1080p resolution, they are just deliberately misleading. I normally don't subscribe to GAF but check out their thread on it. Much simpler explanations of what is going on and without much agenda. Even they are calling GG/Sony out on their BS, which is nice to see. You can even see thuway chime in trying to damage control and twist it to sound like true 1080p (as some are also doing here) and he gets destroyed pretty quickly. Worth a read.
