Forums - Sony - MGS4 is 1080p!

Wow this game just gets better and better. Kojima will have this game running at 60 fps before it comes out. This game in my mind will push PS3 sells through the roof and this is the greatest game in 2008 in my mind.

I doubt that it's true 1920x1080 -- it is probably upscaled 960x1080, which on my 1080p display looks only slightly better than 720p.

If it was true 1920x1080, it would probably have framerate problems like Lair does.

Nice to see that Kojima and Team are useing the PS3 like it is supposed to be made. If you want a game to perform like it is supposed to you have to learn how to use Cell + RSX the right way. I am sure Kojima is useing it to help do lighting, pixel shading, texture streaming, and geometry work. That along with some of the best AI, and Physics we have seen to date. Cell is truly all that in a bag of chips. Ken Kuturagi is one of the smartest chip desingers in the world, and he hit a home run with this thing. I can not wait to see more games like, Killzone, FFXIII, Getaway, and GoW3 which really take the PS3 to that untochable level.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Good to have confirmation, I already thought this to be the case for MGS4 and FF XIII. For many other early games their game engines weren't yet designed with 1080p in mind, the more complex games surely need to make use of the Cell's SPEs to assure good performance.

IMO the most impressive 1080p PS3 game so far is Super Stardust HD available on the PSN, just so many things going on. It's damn impressive to look at a single astroid amongst thousands of others and follow it with your eyes to see it collide with another asteroid, the paths of both astoroids being altered due to the collision, other asteroids falling apart while bumping into mines, etc. A beatifully designed game!

I've unlocked hardcore mode, it's insane at what speed things move around, collide and explode!

.. i didnt read a 600 page tech document on the cell released by IBM and not know what im talking about... the Cell is completely designed for parallel processing. Even though it could slow down tasks from GPU to the CELL you can greatly speed up tasks going CELL to GPU. Each SPE can run 3 tasks (but can be forced to do 4 if they are small tasks) so you can have physics calculations running on an SPE and unload it to the GPU to render what was calculated speeding up the rendering time.


All of which has nothing to do with fillrate, which is what lets you run at 1080p vs. 720p at 60 frames per second.

I have the same 600 page document you're talking about, the question is, did you actually understand it?


I understood it pretty well. Had to reread parts a few times. I was responding just to Non Sequor's comment

Kudos for Konami, but this was expected. MGS4 doesn't has the best graphics all around, but 1920x1080@60fps = Good.

@epsilon72

1080p is standard, it requires a display and signal containing 1920 Vertical lines and 1080 Horizontal lines, if they are using a video signal any less than that and it would be false advertisiing to specify to the contrary. Again its fud at its finest.  The game will run at 1080p, deal with it.
