point is there are dozoens of NATIVE 1080p games on PS3 there are like 3 on xbox.... Halo 3 is microsofts BIGGEST GAME. if bungie could NOT do it on a game the size of halo then i can NOT be done.......

The issue here is not "can the ps3 do it" its "why didnt rockstar do it".... the issuse with halo is "it can NOT be done"

Thats is why it does not make a difference. A 3rd party game vs THE NUMBER ONE exculsive game on the planet........ if i had to put money down id think halo would be in 1080p not GTA4... a 3rd parties 1st next gen game on ps3 and its on 2 different systems vs and second party game on one system that had a budget of only god knows what.......

NJ5 you dont see the point so i had to spell it out for you...

 

I perfectly see that, but the hipocrisy is still visible and true from some people.

By the way, what are those dozens of 1080p native PS3 games? Let's filter out the ones with framerate problems and/or simple graphics, and see what remains. I just did a quick search and it seems to me that some of PS3's best games in terms of graphics (Uncharted and R&C) are 720p.

 

In Halo's defense, the developers were trying to be able to cram as much stuff on the screen at once with particle effects and motion and open spaces while keep the framerate up and having strong A.I. and 4-player co-op and all this other stuff.  If you look at 1080p games, and you really look at how much stuff is on the screen at one time and what the other demands on the graphics are, you'll see that there's so much less going on in most of them. 

 Developers don't have the time or money (or hardware/software capacity in some cases) to have 1080p, tons of cool sound, co-op, strong A.I., effects, fully realized cutscenes and voice, etc. etc. etc.  While we would love for them all to spend a hundred million for each title and be done in 6 weeks with no bugs and no flaws, it's just not practical. 

If the only reason you were buying Halo 3 on 360 or GTA IV on PS3 is to look at 720p, (or 1080p) then I feel bad for you.  It's about more than just resolution.
