MGO is not HD

665p equivalent at 30fps

So we have yet another non-HD game this gen. I'd call this another piece of proof that "true HD" is just marketing bullshit, and that making a good looking game this gen requires some sacrifices. But of course some people will make excuses, even though resolution doesn't make that much of a difference.

So?

 

MGS4 is 1080p at 60fps that is proven HD.

heres the thing Ive been worked over by this concept forever HALO 3 640 p but its outputted or upconverted on my 1080p tv to 1080p still its like taking a photo at 1024x768 and upconverting it to1080p on a monitor the image is still native 768.

So techies will count the lines somehow and thats why H3 and COD4 and all other games take a beating because they are being upconverted and still look awesome.

so even if mgs4 is 648p and upconverted it will still look amazing! the fact that the PS3 and 360  can upconvert these images its like taking a dvd 480 sorce and upconverting it to 1080 it looks way better if its a good upconversion and a better tv will even make it look better.

So say a Wii game running in hardware at 600p and displaying at 480p is downconverting the image and does not have the crispness of an HD display.
