Yeah, I didn't think it was sub HD. A google search found that it is 768p. So 4/10 for PS3, and 5/10 for xbox ;)

I still hate sub HD games. How hard is it to make a game HD at least 720? Uncharted, god of war, gears of war, mass effect 2. All games with stable frame rates at or above 720p >.> Also all pretty sexy looking.

1024x768 >>> 1024x576

not even comparable

Yep.

Halo 3 = 737k pixels

MGS4 =  786k pixels

Which are both below

HD 720P = 922k pixels.

MGS4 is closer to Halo 3 which is undisputedly sub HD than it is to HD.

Its comparable, the horizontal resolution is the same.

Ok, anyone want to confirm it looks HORRIBLE?  If not, then who cares if it is 576p?

I see.

wow....... just.... wow... I don't know how to respond to something like this

I don't get it, for an exclusive game, none of this should be happening.

4 things could have happened:

1: the engine is crap and is hampered by performance issues, well at least for the way that UBI has implemented the engine for this game.

2: This game was initially designed to be multiplatform, but when exclusivity was negotiated they continued work with the same engine and didn't bother to cater to the 360's strengths by creating a new engine.

3: This game is going to the PS3 as the 360 only has timed exclusivity, so to have parity with the unreal engine which we all know runs like ass on the PS3, they were forced to make specific sacrifices on a technical level to achieve their goal.

4: UBI programmer don't know squat and have managed to brake a perfectly working engine that's well suited to the 360 hardware.

Personally I thinks it's a little bit of each of the 4 options.

This game is going to need a lot more graphics if it's going to have any chance of success!

You don't need to. Someone already covered that for ya.
