Can't wait to see Halo 2 in full 1080p oh wait.......


ehh it will look great anyways. Better than 900p :)

1328x1080 is 0.4% less than 1600x900, so it should look essentially identical to 900p, not better.

It will scale up to (full)1080p in a different manor, but people are about as likely to notice that difference as they are the 0.4% resolution discrepancy

Really is an odd resolution though. I expect they went with it so they can market the collection as 1080p/60fps, with a small disclaimer at the bottom mentioning H2's custom resolution. Makes things easier.

Gran Turismo does something similar with its "1080p mode" (1280x1080 in GT5 and 1440x1080 in GT6). I'm hoping GT7 comes with a custom 1440p mode, purely for my own amusement :D

Probably best they don't market it as 1080, we saw what happen with Killzone:SF.

Achieving 1080, 60 fps, with cutting edge visuals will be difficult enough for PS4. I mean Driveclub is already locked at 30 fps.

If they wanna go above 1080p, perhaps they should modify GT6 for PS4. They already did that 4K version of GT running on four PS3s. However, I hear the HDMI in PS4 is limited to 30 fps at 4K. I wonder if there is a frame limit on 1440p as well.

So, just to be clear, with a res like this, is the console just outputting a squashed imaged, which is later "stretched" to the right aspect ratio? Why do this instead of going with 900p?

oops, maybe I should've done the math first xD Shows how much I care about graphics. I'm fine with them marketing the collection as that as long as it's locked 60fps. Having a disclaimer is probably a smart idea if they do, don't want gamers calling them a liar and suing them. heh

1080p is a standard PD have been trying to achieve for a while. If they can pull off 1440x1080/40-60fps (depending on the track) in GT6, i see little reason why 1080p/60fps and a large visual improvement wouldn't be relatively easy on the PS4.

Like i said, i only want 1440p for my own amusement :p It would be functionally useless for most (outside of DS'ing it to 1080p). I don't expect it to actually happen.



It's a pretty solid playlist, wonder what will be played the most?

My guess is Halo 2, I think Halo 4 will be the least played.

Nice to see an esports playlist, going to miss it being called "MLG".

There should be a perminant doubles playlist. Also only 1 social playlist doesn't make sense, I will always be playing ranked but a lot of halo fans play with guests.

Nice thread. Can't wait for this game.
