Yep, both will run at 1280x704 (i.e. barely below 720p).

Expected. Not really an issue though. It's not like people actually notice.

There are a few games where I cant tell that they are sub HD.... FF13 360 version, Crysis 2, and COD. In some cases sub HD creates this really ugly blurry game, but I guess if devs know what they are doing they can get good results and not having to sacrifice much IQ. Sub HD is not a big deal for the consoles. And this is old news btw. There is a new footage of the 360 version and the game looks fine..... showing all its sub HD glory :P

Clear sign that its time to move on to a new generation of consoles.

Textures are getting better, enviroments bigger, so the developer is forced to scale down the resolution to make the game playable at 29/30 fps. End of the year will mark the 6th year anniversary of the Xbox 360, and the 5th one from PS3. Time to move on...

It's not scaled; it's matted. (Unless you have overscan turned on, but then it'd look exactly the same as Bad Company 2 did anyway.)

I honestly can't tell the difference between HD and sub-HD. There isn't much difference. Everything gets upscaled for my 1080p television anyway. Until games run at 1080p native I don't see a huge problem.

Shouldn't be a problem. While some subhd games, such as Halo 3, are just plain ugly, most of the time time they look okay. Heck, MGS4 won best graphics technical over Gears 2 and Crysis Warhead in the GS 08 awards.

http://www.lensoftruth.com/head2head-killzone-3-vs-crysis-2-analysis/

Conclusion:Although Crysis 2 looks fantastic on both the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the graphics crown still belongs toGuerrilla's Killzone 3. Not only does Killzone 3 look graphicallybetter, the performance its more stable throughout. That being said, with serious graphical contenders on the horizon such as Battlefield 3 and RAGE, how long can Killzone 3 hold on to the title? We'll just haveto wait and see!

lensoftruth

Looks like Crysis 2 isn't the console graphics king, I thought this was confirmed months ago and everybody moved on. ;)

Interesting. Unfortunately my knowledge on this type if thing ends with my misconception :P

Basically, it's a 720p image that contains two 1280x8 strips at the top and bottom. For people who just leave their TV on its defaults, this area gets clipped off as part of the overscan region anyway, and the TV scales what's left to 720p (or 768p, or 1080p, depending on the native panel resolution). For people who turn off overscan, it's just like watching a > 1.78 aspect ratio movie, only the black bars are a lot thinner.

Yes(that's why MGS4 won in 2008 despite 1024x768).

Actually, the vertical resolution matters quite a bit. If strictly based on resolution, 1024x768 would look slightly better than 1280x720.

I noticed that when I used to game on the PC with a 19" LCD monitor which had a res of 1440x900. I noticed the image quality of games was better from a friend's older 1280x1024 monitor.

You just see more real estate with the higher horizontal pixel count.

I read MGS4. I don't know how movies are playable, but whatever suits your boat. ;)
