Would you mind playing................?

Would you mind playing a graphics king game on an SDTV and why?

Thanks.

No, it doesn't effect the gameplay.

Why would you hook a PC up to an SDTV when you could hook it up to an HD-capable monitor?jalexbrown

Same here.

I wouldn't care at all.

I have two TV's in my room. One has HDMI and one doesn't. It would take 10 minutes to switch them, so my console TV has HDMI, but I can't tell the difference.

it would bother me. i would be all the time thinking how much better the game could look. this would ruin my enjoyment of the game and lead to all sorts of problems.

Yep yep.

I'd mind if i had the choice to play on a HDTV, if i HAD to play on an SDTV than i would.

sorry.... but if you can't tell the difference between SD and HD you need to be booking an appointment at the opticians.

Yep yep.

To say I would be completely unaffected is absurd. I like playing on my HDTV, I believe it enhances the experience. Even so, playing on a SDTV is better than not playing at all.

Of course I wouldnt be able to admire the presentation, which is quite a huge part of the games but all in all it wouldnt bother me too much playing on a SDTV. They dont ruin experiences. I would know, I played on one till last year.

It doesn't affect the gameplay what so ever.

well said. at least someone is being honest. dog_dirt

Well I can't agree with those who say "graphics don't matter". PS2-level graphics in 2010 just wouldn't be good enough for me.

They don't "ruin" anything by any means- I played my 360 with a SDTV for quite some time yet still saw a big upgrade from PS2 graphics- and it was still enjoyable. But after upgrading to HD I couldn't go back. If I was forced to play God of War III/Gears 2 on an SDTV it simply wouldn't be the same, not by a long shot.

Doesn't bother me since I don't own an HDtv so I'm playing in an SDtv no matter what. The only problem is some games the developers don't optimize the text like Dead Rising and you need a magnifying glass to read the text when it is played on an SDtv.

It really depends on the game. If I have to do a lot of sniping and actions that require precision, probably not. But, the majority of games do not require such precision. I remember using the S-Video Out of my pc video card to output gameplay to a 34" SDTV. I mean the max res I was able to go with was 800x600 and it didn't look half bad although a bit on the flickery side. Consoles? That's a no brainer. I'm not too fuzzy. I still play GT4 (PS2) on that same old 34" SDTV in the family room.

So at first you're saying that "PS2-Level graphics in 2010 just wouldn't be good enough" and then you come back and say that "It was still a big upgrade from PS2 on SDTV",how does that even make sense? :?

Yes... because I want to experience everything a game has to offer, visuals are a part of the package... they are called "video" games for a reason.

as long as its a fun game, and not a game that just looks pretty but plays like an average game.

They were responses to two different people. Sure today's games in SD are an upgrade from PS2- that's what more RAM/better GPU does- HD just makes the upgrade that much better.

I rather not tbh. But I have no problem if there is no other way.

As someone who plays video games for the 'video' as well, I also enjoy the improvements made on that area and not just the gameplay part (not saying graphics>gameplay). I don't really feel like I should sacrifice neither.

Try reading the emails in GTAIV in SD, its friggen hard.

Yes I would mind. Why? Well I've got 2 HDTVs & 3 Full HD monitors, my eyes have been babied for a long time & ever since I think SDTV & games is crap.

I would mind it. It wouldn't stop me from playing it if that were the only option, but I would much prefer to play it on an HDTV if that is how it was meant to be played.

Even text is seen visually.

Nice attempt at ownage though, better luck next time.

Wow. I'm shocked so many people have voted yes. You people seriously think playing on an SDTV is so terrible? You honestly think games these days dont look great on an SDTV? I pity you. You've forgotten what gaming is supposed to be about. In case you need reminding, it's about having fun! No, it's true. It's not about looking at super high resolution graphics and then arguing about which games have the best super duper amazing graphics on an internet forum.

I just recently had the displeasure of playing UFC Undisputed on a SDTV, it looked worse than Tekken 5 (PS2 game mind you) on the same TV.

one thing i recently realized is how much better a game looks when playin it from farther away. I played Crysis on a 1680 x 1050 monitor at 1280 x 800 at around 5-6 feet away and it looks nearly identical at that distance. Then I tried playing it @ 800 x 500 (pretty close to SD res) from around 10 feet away and it still didn't look that bad. So I guess it really depends on the distance.
