HDTV gaming --VS-- SDTV gaming

If you don't own an HDTV you really have no idea what the whole huss fuss is about my tiny p is better than your fancy i. But I'll tell you this...after playing on an HDTV seeing games on SDTV made me not even interested in gaming....it's pretty much like there's no point...the picture is so terrible and lame you don't even care about the game..

Word to those thinkin about making the HD plunge...do it...believe me when I say your opinion on a LOT of games will change when you do.

Games you notice the most difference with.

Gears of War

Resistance: Fall of Man

Motorstorm

Oblivion (PS3)

CoD3 (360)

Flow - this one is amazing in 7.1 on an HDTV....weird I know.

because graphics makes the game and everything. laughingman42

lol. I can't because all tv's in my house are in HD.

That happened to me once. It was painful.

HDTV is like Tivo..once you get it,you'll wonder how you even managed to go without it.

Either way, im playing my 360 on my monitor and it looks great.

Well, if you don't even have to worry about an SDTV, there's no reason going "you can't go back". Might as well say "I've a GBA but I can't go back to GBC because I sold it".

But yeah, on the short-term if you're in a friend's house, you get used to pretty much everything after a couple of minutes. Eyes are magically adjustable like that.

Seriously.. did you just try to debate that without being sarcastic? 

Actually it depends somewhat on your SDTV. Before I moved up to HDTV I thought Gears looked unbelievable even on my old 36" Toshiba SDTV via S-Video. Im still impressed when I see it on that tv today. While it will never look as good as it does on my HDTV, it hardly made me not want to look at it.

Why isn't NES your main console? or SNES????? 

[QUOTE="NextGenNow"][QUOTE="laughingman42"]because graphics makes the game and everything. laughingman42

What if Motorstorm looked like RC Pro Am on the NES then? It would have been rated about a 3 if it was lucky.

HD gaming is something I am telling...YOU CANNOT be without. :o

It makes the experience so much better...I mean sound and graphics have always been the two biggies...

Imagine plugging your ears..then taking your hands away to 7.1 surround sound hearing a rain forrest...

Or closing your eyes...only to open them to the night sky for the first time....seeing all the stars...

amazing...HD gaming >>> Real Life. :lol:

NextGenNow...I totally agree with you. Playing Gears of War at my friends house on his 40" 1080P Bravia LCD HDTV makes me not want to play games on my SDTV. New Sony Bravia Line coming out in July....Damn, time to save up 2k!SergeantSnitch

 wtf he said a positive thing about gears wow and then i see sergent as usual promoting/advertising sony products like he does on most of his post. :roll:

anyways does this mean tc wont ever play ps2/ps1 games again since the visuals arent good as the current games out right now. going to miss out on some upcoming ps2 games.

In short, HD > SD

but, it's not as important as the TC is making it out as. Plenty of people are still playing machines capable of HD but on SDTV, they still look good. But 1080P? i'd rather go 720 with a nice framerate. frames per second > higher res. I've played in 40-50" HD displays, the initial feeling is amazing, but in no way does it MAKE the game.

1080p is still nonsense at this point in time. 720P is just fine. idanneswegman

[QUOTE="danneswegman"]1080p is still nonsense at this point in time. 720P is just fine. iNextGenNow

720p is Hd so is 1080i/1080p, It actually pretty hard to tell the diffrence of 1080p and you need a pretty big tv to notice it, This is why i play my games at 720p and my movies at 1080i and change if i need to, 1080i for that extra detail which i probaly cant even notice or 720p for a cleaner picture if required, 1080p is the best of both worlds but i aint going to spend twice the money for something i can adjust in the settings.

Motorstorm was robbed, because not only did it look great, but it's a blast to play.

Yeah, I can't go back to standard def.RoslindaleOne

And neither can I. After playing for many years on sdtv I finally made the plunge to a hdtv.  A 40" Samsung lcd tv. There is a difference, I can never go back to sdtv and those that say they cant see the difference are lying.  :shock:

Have you seen the new Sony Bravia V-series that due in July, or the new W-series?  Also the 40 inch XBR4's are coming also, but those are REALLY expensive ($3000).
