| LudicrousSpeed said: Sony puts 1080p on the back of every case, even 900p games. Seems weird they'd be sued for this. It was hilarious back when resolution wars were in full effect though, all the people proclaiming anything less than native 1080p to be a joke, yet the supposedly amazing looking KZ6 MP did not meet that standard lol. Wonder what each person got? I'm in a class action suit that is about to have a settlement finalized and I am getting between 5 and 6 grand. |
The 1080p on the back of the box is the output, not the native resolution (which was the issue in this case).
Killzone's MP was still functionally 1080p though, so your latter point isn't particularly relevant. If you put an image of the MP and SP next to each other, the only difference most would be able to see is that the MP seems to have worse AA (which we'd later find out was actually tethering from the prediction algorithm not keeping up). The difference between the SP and MP was several magnitudes smaller than a proper 1920x1080 native vs 960x1080 native comparison.
It wasn't a perfect 1080p (and GG's trademark MP motion blur was really unnecessary), but it was close enough that people not realizing it wasn't a native 1920x1080 does nothing to invalidate any importance they put in IQ. It was a damn fine technique, and i think it's silly GG didn't boast about it from day 1.
