But to be honest you are over raiting resolution. yes with a high resolution you can fit more on the screen but thats about it to be honest. Heres a good example. The lion king. this game was for Megadrive/Genesis Snes. on the snes the game looked more vibrant and blended better. On the megadrive the game had a higher resolution but the colours looked crazy. However the low resolution on the snes made the game kinda un-playable because you could not see your enemies coming at you untill they are like 2 cms in front. but on the megadrive you could see your enemies from a good distance. But being as resolution has been high enough to play nearly any game without any problems since ps1, haveing a high resolution is just for the sakes of eye candy. it dont really add anything to the game. |
High resolution isn't just about eye candy as you have already hinted in this post. Have you tried to play PC games on a SDTV? What about viewing this web page on a SDTV? Noticed the difference? A lot of today's PC games will not run lower than 1024x768 as higher resolution also allows a bigger and better interface. Higher resolution allows you to see more of this thread on the screen at once. ( to be fair NG2 resolution still has over twice as many pixels than a SDTV (4:3) so it will still look better on a HDTV than a SDTV)
As you have hinted (fit more on the screen) someone else, in a different thread, noticed that when playing CoD4 on a SDTV he had to use a scope to sniper when those with HDTV could sniper him with any gun. Seldom if ever does higher resolution adds more eye candy to a PC game but only reveals the eye candy that's already there. Other times it gives a greater viewing area as Civ4 for example and a few games adds more information (interface). All of these enhances gameplay.
