Will next gen consoles run at 1080p standard?

a lot of games do not run at 720p even now despite the consoles being HD.

so next gen do you think devs will use the extra power to run at 1080p or will they just increase performance at 720p?

I wont bother me one bit if they continue to use and deliver better overall quality at 720p (native) with a few games later in theconsoles lifeshowing off a bit of 1080p

most probably they will... i think next-gen consoles should have hardware capable enough of running games at standard 1080p...

a lot of games struggle to display at 720p, I dont think will see 1080p standard till the next generation (excluding nintendos)

No, they will hype it as being the standard like Sony did this gen; but the drive for better visuals will always push developers to make resolution sacrifices.

First party studios will probably run at that level (and even higher), but I doubt we''ll see it with third part titles.

I'm confident sony and xbox will have 1080p standard, and I'm hopeful Nintendo will at least go with 720 although I doubt they'll go 1080p.

Now if they can implement 1080p @ 120hz that'll be awesome.

Nope. Sony and MS will go the way of the wii :)

I highly doubt they would want to go high tech next gen because developers have complained that production costs are toohigh so either they'll have to raise retail prices or do a very minor upgrade like the wii.

720p native at 60FPS, 1080p native at 30 FPS is what I would like to see.

yes and no. youll see more games being 1080p 30fps or 60fps lower quality but its doubtful well see 1080p 60 or 120fps games for a long time

1. the pc is usually a good measure of console tech. if you look at pc games most newer high graphical quality games struggle at 1080p or higher except with the absolute best hardware and even then. and its normal. its always been this way. wait until midrange cards are able to display the top graphics games at 1080p on at least high to mediumhigh then youll see a console with 1080p standard. and i dont mean the top games now i mean ones as they come out. basically wait until 1080p becomes the new 1280x1024.

2. its up in the air as to whether or not the compies try to push the tech that far next gen. its costly now itll be even more costly later. not just for the hardware makers but for the devs as well.

3. 1080p is hardly standard for tv. whether you want to believe it or not 1080p is still not widespread enough to warrent games being 1080p standard. 1080p and 720p have both existed for quite some time now even during the PS era however the standard tv resolution (almost everyone played on a tv) was 640x480. thats why most games from the era are at that resolution. its hard to say but depending on when they release it still might not be a standard

Nah. Why bother with extra pixels when you have to sit with your face in the TV to resolve them?lowe0

when will this myth die out? higher resolution are better no matter how big the screen no matter how close.

Dont really care, Uncharted 1 runs at 720p and that looks phenomenal on my 1080p TV

This is the biggest reason I don't put the Wii in the same class as PS3 and 360.

720p is such a low resolution it shouldn't even be considered "HD".

If thing keep going the way there going next gen will have bad graphics and waggle.

I doubt it and I'll tell you why. 1080p looks nicer without a doubt, but a game with better gfx at 720p will always look better than a game with worst graphics at 1080p... It's only a resolution and a game that's programmed to work at 720p with 4X AA will look better than a game with worst graphics at 1080p. I'd rather them work with 720p to get even more out of the systems than have to sacrifice on graphics like they are doing now just to keep games in HD. Why do you think we have so many games below 720p, but they are up scaled for our tv's? This is because they are stuck using an HD format which requires a ton of more resources. Technically they can make game look a ton better graphically at 480p, but the low resolution would lead to a super jaggie game. 720p is the sweet spot for console games and I hope ti stays.

Im expecting 1080p and 60fps standard

By that time, PCs will be running at 1600p~2000p standard.abuabed

And that's why PC rules over consoles. It doesn't have to wait for all of that crap.

Nope. Sony and MS will go the way of the wii :)

By that, I hope you don't mean that they'll go all casual with the waggle joystick.

I agree. Then again...I think high resolutions are very much overrated. 720p with 4xAA is good enough. killab2oo5

Maybe on a 1 pitch size TV sat on the other side of the room it isn't noticeable, but on a high pixel density screen right in your face it is.

Probably not, many games willl support 1080p. At least we will see the end to sub 720p resolutions.

Depends on the gameBoloTheGreat

It's that way now, sure you could have 1080p in every game today; but developers would rather push the eye candy.

Unless good 1080p tvs are dirt cheap when the next round of consoles hit us, they'd better not increase the res.
