According to various websites, Halo3 isn't the only game using the 640p mode. Here is a list of other 360 games falling below M$ hyped "full HD" scams:

Tony Hawk's Project 8 -585p

Perfect Dark Zero -640p

Halo 3 -640p

Call of Duty 3 -630p

Project Gotham Racing 3 -600p

Tomb Raider Legend -600p

This maybe thereason most 360 games like Halo look jaggy due to the fact developers have to turn down the resolutions just to get at least 30fps. I thought the 360 was capable of 720p/1080p at 60fps. Thats what it states on the box right?

Keep running with it.

All cows have really...they have no games so they spend their days dissecting 360 game resolutions...a cruel fate.

PLay Jericho and R6 vegas, and Graw 2 on both PS3 and 360....tell me some more bout those resolutions...

Who cares? Does it make the games less fun to play? The 360 isn't the only console getting sub HD resolutions either. The PS3 is getting the same as 360. I think we should worry more about how fun a game is than worry about what resolution it's running.

Yeah its capable of it. It does it in COD4 and Madden 2008 and NCAA 08.

All those games you listed look pretty good though. I played them all on HD screens and I never said "Hmmm this doesn't look FULL HD as described by the marketing gurus of the world." I said "Veerrry nice!"

mabey?but does that make them any less beautiful?NO! Perfect dark zero looks simply amazing in high def and if Im not mistaken the 360 version of COD3 looks better than the ps3 version even in its "inferior" resolution

I think the whole 1080 p and the entire hd bluray thing is overhyped anyways, the games and dvd's still look good upscaled to whatever, you people need to get a life and get over it all this bs is just a waist of time and money

if u got an hdtv with a dvd player that upscales it still looks pretty good and u dont need this extra crap

and all the games look pretty sweet too

It can never be fully HD either because it has standard DVD9 as it's normal format. It can only be up scaled to HD which doesn't look as good as something that was build to be HD from the ground up.

There not actually running in 640 P. One could actually say there running in 1080P. You cows don't understand their using 2 buffers for those games. Both running at 640 P. The problem is the testing device that they use appears to not be able to sense both buffers. Another attempted cow failure!

All HdDvd and Bluray offer is more space. This has nothing to do with being capable of hd. They just put hd movies on those formats because they need the more space.

The PS3's graphics card is about as powerful as a Geforce 7 and the 360 has a Geforce 8 along with more video RAM. Sony likes to go for the strongest CPU.

Honest to God I don't really care about the games resolution as long as it runs smooth and looks good. That goes for all platforms, don't see me complaining that games on the PS3 aren't true 1080p do you? Because I don't care.

The 360 video is actually more like an ATi HD2900XT; a card with fancy-high numbers, but doesn't actually perform as well as an enthusiast card should. A $400 card that should cost half as much.

And just to clear something up, I'm a Hermit. I just like commenting in these hardware-related threads as most, NOT ALL, people I see in SW are either misinformed, know what they're talking about and just acting stupid, or are serious and really are stupid.

Maybe not on this site. GS is a HUGE Lem site (Which is why I come here, it's home.) We lemmings own thhis place. Sometimes we get away with saying things that aren't true. All fans do this, we just get to do this the most.

I hope the games that are developed for the 360 in the future do not stress the system with 60 fps because mine keeps breaking and I have to keep sending it in for repairs.

Quit looking for complaints. Especially for ones that aren't there. Those games are "HD-compatible". You're are now thinking:

"ZOMG!!! NO THEY'RE NOT!! THEY ONLY DO LIKE 600p!!!"

That's fine, actually. The Xbox 360 does HD-upscaling. Read that again. You can take crappy, images.google pictures with their lower resolution and the 360 will upscale them to look great on your HDTV. It's the same with games.

Games are completely different from DVD movies. The reason Blu-Ray and HD-DVD is needed for HD movies is because of storage space, and the fact that standard DVD players are only designed to play Mpeg-2, which is nowhere near the best video codec anymore.

Games are really only limited by the read rate of the disc drives, though the PS3 only has a 2x Blu-Ray drive which is actually potentially slower than the DVD drive in the Xbox 360. They are also limited by storage space, but in terms of graphics that'll only really effect textures, but they've pretty much found a way around that with mapping techniques. The size of the disc is more likely to effect the length of the game's content than the quality of the graphics.

You act as if the PS3 doesn't also have its share of "non HD" games after all of their claims of "Teh True HD!" and 120 fps and 4D gaming.

Don't kid yourself.

Keep running with it.

All cows have really...they have no games so they spend their days dissecting 360 game resolutions...a cruel fate.

PLay Jericho and R6 vegas, and Graw 2 on both PS3 and 360....tell me some more bout those resolutions...

And the lemmings do nothing but proclaim the PS3 is dead, when it's getting stronger than ever. ****ing hypocrite.

[QUOTE="swamprat_basic

Games are completely different from DVD movies. The reason Blu-Ray and HD-DVD is needed for HD movies is because of storage space, and the fact that standard DVD players are only designed to play Mpeg-2, which is nowhere near the best video codec anymore.

Games are really only limited by the read rate of the disc drives, though the PS3 only has a 2x Blu-Ray drive which is actually potentially slower than the DVD drive in the Xbox 360. They are also limited by storage space, but in terms of graphics that'll only really effect textures, but they've pretty much found a way around that with mapping techniques. The size of the disc is more likely to effect the length of the game's content than the quality of the graphics.

Thank you for clearing that up. But I'm with Lemmings with PS3 graphics vs X360 graphics. Sony is trying to be better with more space, standard hard drive, and a more powerful GPU(AKA the Cell.) I don't know how it work for Oblivion though. PS3 has 200 something video RAM and normal RAM I think. And the 360 has 500. How are you going get equal results out of moving from having more to having little? None the less better. To help the PS3 they should try improving the A.I. and the physics then the graphics IMO. That is, IF the Cell is stronger.
