The 1080P 360/PS3 Upgrade

If there was such a thing, an attachment that connected to your PS3/360 that made all the games run at 1080P with 4xAA and High Rez Textures would you buy it?

Some Console Games ( GTA4/COD4/Halo 3) Don't Even Run at 720P they run at 600P

Note:

600P =0.61 Megapixels

720P = 0.92 Megapixels

1080P = 2.07 Megapixels

So for a game like Call Of Duty 4 it would up the resolution more than 3x

Hahaha, reminds me of when the Expansion 'Pak' came out for the N64.Moto1971

Or the 32x / SegaCD

Those didn't make the existing library visually better though..

only noobs and idiots think 1080p is pointless.

He obviously knows this, all he is saying is that there is a significant difference between 1080P and 720P so to say it is pointless would be idiotic.

There is only one thing I care about less than the resolution I play games in.

1080p was before its time, the same as 720p.
we'll be in a much better position in the next 5 or so years in all realms like internet speed, and consoles...etc

Same with TV's.

I'll take 60 fps.

I'll take 60 fps / 16x AA / 1600P myself...but thats pc gaming

Upgrade? I don't get it. There already are games that do 1080p. There already are games that do 4xAA. And high res textures is not defined well enough. What is high res?

Even if such a magical device existed developers would simply use the extra performance to push their games harder, bringing the res/aa back down.

The whoe point of consoles is that one you have one theres no need to upgrade for ages till next gen.

What if you dont want to upgrade? That means you dont get to play the best games.

Its a horrible idea. If you want to do things like that get into PC gaming.

EDIT: and 1080p isnt pointless. Hi def movies and some games show that quite well...

There are hundreds of games for the PS3/360 less than a handful of them do 1080P, high res textures would be PC quality, pretty much all console games have fairly low res texture in environments in comparison which is why when you look at multiplatform games the console versions textures are typically the PC's at medium.

And I've proved my point, most voters would, as expected most console gamers would be PC Gamers they are either just

A to lazy

B frightend by supposed high costs (even though you save tons of money on the game cost assuming you buy a few games a year)

C Turned off by any of the many numerous false problems of PC Gaming

D Afraid of Change, it's always easier to stick with what you know.

I'd rather they just came out with a new platform. Bolting stuff onto a console usually doesn't work out so well (see 32X).

1. a GPU with more than 8 ROPs or equivalent.

2. a GPU with 256bit wide bus or equivalent (e.g. GDDR5 128bit instead of console's current GDDR3 128bit).

Addon? Maybe.

1080p addon? That'd be a really bad move.

Well that would be physically impossible, so I won't even consider it.

that would own if they released memory expansion for ps3/360 so for example f.e.a.r 2# on xbox360 textures would look same as they do on my pc. i played fear2 demo on my 360 and pc, the 360's version has lower resolution textures easily noticeable on the brickwall in the beggining of the demo.lolatvideogames

It's that way for really almost every multiplat

Few less? Double is quite a difference and in some cases like COD it would be triple which is an astronomical difference.

On top of that :lol: how much more did you pay for that 1080P TV :lol:

If you found a TV one 1080P one 720P with the rez being the only difference I think it's safe to say it would be more than 200 more for the 1080P :lol:

Both of you read up on just how many games render below 720p on consoles here

There are literally dozens.
