Is anyone having problems with Killzone 2 scaling down to 720p right before the game starts? Before I load it my PS3 is diplaying at 1920 x 1080, right when the game starts it gets scaled down to 1280 x 720. I thought Killzone 2 could display up to 1080i? My Samsung tv can display up to 1080p, that's higher than 1080i right? Is there something in my Playstation 3 settings I can do to change this? Or is it something that has to be configured on my TV? Any help in this matter would be appreciated..

Try going to display settings on your PS3's XMB and uncheck everything except 1080i (which the highest setting for KZ2 if I'm not mistaken).

DONT!!! it looks better in 720p even if you can get it up to 1080p everyone knows games look better in there NATIVE RES. KZ2 been 720p! 1080i is just for still images if you have moving objects on screen 1080i downscales to 540p so 720p is better for games and 1080i is better for photos and still images

thats what I was gonna say. If your using an HDMI on the all res setting on the PS3, it will choose whats best.

In this case, 720P is the native res, and as such, will look much better and smoother.

Thats a load of rubbish. All games look better in 1080p and i wish the ps3 could upscale all games, not just some. For example you can play resi 5 on the 360 in 1080p and only 720p on the ps3 and it looks way way better on the 360. I wish fallout could display at 1080p too on ps3.

actually no your completely wrong about this, games that are developed in a native res should be played in a native res.

the reason why some of those 360 games looked better is because they were developed for the 360 first with intention of porting to ps3 second, its not because 360 upscales every game.

ill give you an example play uncharted 2 basically the best looking console game out now and upscale it to 1080p then switch it to 720p do this a few times until you get a feel of what looks better and 720p looks much nicer in the end, notice drakes clothing detail and draw distance clarity is much better on 720p the game just overall looks much cleaner and the detail really pops out. with 1080p upscaling your basically losing detail all over the image actually becomes blurrier but its very hard to tell unless you try switching back and forth. the 360 and ps3 do not play next gen graphics in true 1080p the hardware just isnt strong enough next consoles will be able to no prob when the 360 upscales every game natively made in 720p to 1080p your just making the game look worse in the end

Yeah this is just incorrect. It makes sense that games play best in the resolution they were made to be played in don't you think? Keep 1080p and 720p checked and let the PS3 decide. If your TV does 1080p you have no reason to check 1080i
