1080p - PS3 and Xbox 360 Issues (i.e. Dead Space, etc.)

I own both consoles and decided to get a copy of the game "Dead Space" for the PS3 since according to IGN had faster load times than the Xbox 360 while still maintaining an identical graphical look.

However, before I opened my PS3 copy of the game, I've recently read that some PS3 owners have an issue trying to play this game at 1080p, since it always defaults to 720p. And even though they were able to "force" the game to play 1080p via the PS3's settings display menu, the 1080p actually looked worse than the native 720p.

Is this true? A 720p looking better than 1080p? Any other PS3 owners have this issue?

As weird as this sounds, a lot of people have been saying that's the case. Any other PS3 games encountered this kind of issue?

What about Xbox 360 owners? Anyone who owns a copy of "Dead Space" for Xbox 360 have the same problem? Or is your version of the game playing 1080p resolution? Does it strangely also look better down converted to a 720p?

Both my PS3 and Xbox 360 are connected via HDMI through my Samsung 1080p HDTV. And as much as I would love the faster loading times, I'd rather have a game playing on 1080p.

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

who cares? is there even a difference?

ANyway, i don't buy that i doesn't make much sense just set you're ps3 on 1080i that should do it

Both gamse run at 720p, and the consoel uses their internal scaler to upscale the images to the desired resolution. This would mean you get a 720p image on a 1080p resolution. This means runnign it at 1080p will loko the same as running it at 720p unless the scaler has any degredation in quality while expanding each frame.

In other words, its possible for it to look worse, if the scalers are over worked, which could also cause FPS drop, but unlikely. On another note, it won't look any better on the higher resolution either.

On my TV, yes.

PS3 games that support 1080p upscaling are almost always doing it bad, stick to 720p

As for the 360, its done by hardware and not software, so you never get problems

Meh, upscaling doesn't make much a difference anyway. Maybe if it was 480p to 1080p but upscaling from 720p to 1080p is negligible imo. Some people can barely tell the difference between normal 720p and 1080p. munu9

To tell you the truth, the feature was basically meant for people, for games that ran in only 720p so that they could run in 1080i on 1080i only TV's. Sony didn't really have upscaling PS3 games in mind when the designed the PS3. Sony is using the most basic form of non-processor intensive scaling.

Lmao no. PS3 on 1080p pwns 720p like crazy. Especailly with HDMI.

It looks so much better, even for my 360.

Well, I have the newer LG models so I think thats the reason.

No it doesn't. Its not physically upping the resolution of the games output, it is simply taking the finished image/frame, and making it bigger. Think of it as a photo in your hand, if you bring it closer to your face it looks bigger, but it still has the same information on it as it did further from your face. If jaggies are there in 720p, they will still be there in 1080p. 100% garunteed.

1080p is extremely wide and ends up looking bad on most of the screens.So your screen is small.Try it with projectors n you`ill know the difference.lesner87

It's actually 60" - a Samsung DLP screen 1080p HDTV.

Playing PS3 games on 1080p with an HDMI cable on that wide of a screen has a noticeable difference (slightly more noise but with less blur), compared to when I used to play them before on 720p and 1080i with component cables. :(

Could have just gotten the PC version and bypassed all of these problems... ;)dgsag

How about you plug your 360 controller in? Not so hard, is it... :roll:

Ummm, not sure. BUT, the loading times are like 2 seconds faster ... not really an issue.

It dont use Blue tooth for a start, also, you can buy a wireless reciever for it (i think) Or buy a wired controller.
