Some folks were boasting how a game that ran at 720p was the best they've ever seen, now they want to spit on that resolution.

You know the same thing happened with 480p right?  Its called progress.  

It didn't take 4 months for 480p to go from fantastic to unplayable.

I voted the second option. I think 720p will be sufficient for a good while longer. Resolution and pixel density are overrated. There's more to image clarity than pixel counting, and that's even more true when it comes to gaming.

It took less time...once people saw what an HD game looked like on a 360 or PS3 they never wanted to go back, I saw it happen with almost all my friends.

720p is fine if u sit far away from the screen or have small screen, 1080p just looks awesome on a bigger screen though

I'm definitely in the minority, but I wouldn't mind if 720p was the standard for this generation and the next. I just don't think resolution is holding anyone back from making a great game.

I guess Nintendo games are awful.

Give back that near perfect score for Ocarina, Nints.

You won't get it until you put a 1080p lipstick on it.


Wii U has games @1080p

When Naughty Dog makes their first 1080p game, 720p is dead to me. DEAD!

Really depends on how big your screen size is and how far you sit away from the screen. 1080p is a must for me at this point considering I'm sitting about 7 feet from a 105 inch screen with an 1080p HD projector. 720p games for me = Jaggies, jaggies everywhere.

Games still look beautiful in 480p in my eyes, provided they're well-made.

I'm in no hurry to force games to shoot for 1080p or higher when most of them still have trouble maintaining a solid framerate in 720p.

Forever, the human eye can´t see any diference beyond 720p, 24FPS and 256 colors. Video game technology has been maxed out already its a fact.


Lies... I have human eyes, and I can tell the difference between a 720p 24FPS and 1080p 60FPS... it's actually a noticeable difference if you have them side by side... luckily me and my brother have pretty much the same computers spec wise, so we can test this out, and the difference is definitely there, and easy to spot :)

I think he was being sarcastic
