I pulled the full-res versions up in side by side windows. Other than a tiny loss of sharpness in the PS3 image, and the fact that one scene looks like nighttime while the other looks like daytime, I can't really see a lot of difference. I'm guessing that playing the game with animation instead of just looking at stills is going to produce a fairly similar experience. It is odd that the PS3 version is that weird resolution, though.

Welcome, Namco, to the list of fail developers, along with every third party on the planet

Well i played the demo on my 1080p 40" LCD TV and it looks great!

I don't know why people are complaining about pointless numbers, 'oooh game A on console B runs at 0.2 of a fps slower than on console C' does it really matter? Isn't it about enjoying the games and not becoming obsessed with technical stuff...

I don't know which stores you shop at, but I can't find any 40"+ HDTV sets that are 720p without also having 1080i/p these days.  So I don't see how buying a less than 52" HDTV that has 1080p is wasting money when cheaper 720p-only sets in the 40"+ size range don't seem to exist.

Other than this quirky statement, I agree entirely with your post.

"Some related trivia: the only other sub-HD game we've come across that employs a 1280x576 resolution would be PS3 Soul Calibur IV, and even then, only when the game is forced to run in the 1080i/p compatibility mode (that is, with 720p disabled on the XMB), otherwise it is proper 1280x720."


This is very interesting to say the least, perhaps the retail version will end up being like Soul Calibur IV...I suppose will know for sure once the game is released and tested.

All I know is that the demo will certainly do a disservice to the game and will certainly not go down well, but hopefully the reaction will be a wake up call to the devs, after all SC4 turned out good, so there should really be no issue since they already have experience....but then again it could always be a cheap dirty port.

I dont understand, when there is a PS3 game that is superior to its 360 counter part eurogamer doesn't compare it? Oh wait I forgot they said the industry would be nowhere without mcirosoft the only hardcore gaming company.

You know I dont trust this comparison or any review eurogamer does.

Oh, well, I actually think that any TV that is 720p, is also capable of 1080i, since 1080i is actually an inferior picture.

As for which stores I shop at, I shop online, and I've never seen a 720p tv that couldn't also produce the lesser 1080i picture.

As for which TVs are available cheaper in the 40+ range,  this TV is half the price of almost any 1080p TV, and completely equal in every way, no one in the world, could tell the difference with the human eye, and again, it is less than half the price of the same TV in 1080p:

As a matter of fact, yes, most large screen TVs are available in a much, much cheaper 720p version, and anything that is 1080p under 52 inches, is a complete waste of money imo.

In my opinion, comparisons should only be made when the ps3 version is superior because 360 versions being superior are now so common, the impact has been lost. Ps3 superiority is so few and far between I think it would be bigger news although with that said, if the 360 version is so superior it's game breaking then it does deserve attention, however pretty much every comparison is so minimal it just seems a waste of time.

I agree, plus the extra content makes up for this anyways for me. Still a definate purchase.

Quoted as people seem to be skiping this little bit of interesting info.
