1024x768 isn't HD; it's sub-HD.. You see, 1024x768 isn't 768p. Still, it's higher than Halo 3 for example, though.

Is it really 1024x768? That's a 4:3 resolution and not widescreen. I highly doubt they would render it in 4:3 mode.


Yeah can someone xplain this? It should be somthing like 1366x768.

 

How do u ppl see it on your widescreen HDs, the cutscenes dont have black bars on the sides, do they?


It could be internally rendered at 1024x768. While it is a usual assumption that pixels are square, there is nothing that says they are required to be. 1080i broadcast (at least in Australia) are at 1440x1080, which is also 4:3. DVDs have a resoution of 720x480 (or 576) which is 3:2 (or 5:4) and need to be streched for widescreen.

Given how many console games are rendered internally at lower resolutions and scaled, while I agree it would be bizarre to use a non-16:9 resolution internally, there is nothing technical stopping them (in fact, there may be technical (read: performance) reason why someone would use that instead).
