[QUOTE="fanboy999"]I can honestly say this. I have a Samsung 1080p 37" HDTV and a $100 HDMI connecting my PS3 to it. I played the Killzone demo 2 days ago and was unimpressed by the graphics. The textures are blocky, the resolution is grainy, and the fire effects look like crap up close. That being said the game IS fun to play and I will probably purchase it for online play. But it will not be for the "powerhouse" graphics everyone is praising. I swear the only game that looks totally awesome in HD to me on my PS3 is WipeoutHD. That was a $20 download.TX360Get a good TV then because it looks stunning on my sony bravia. Something must be messed up with your TV then. It looks spectacular on my FHD Philips. You might be sitting too close.

Rockstar has stated that they will not be able to pull off the next Grand Theft Auto due to the struggles with Grand Theft Auto IV (source) on a disc that holds only 8.54 GB compared to a Blu-ray that is currently holding 50 GB. This may harm them in the long run because you see developers now a days wanting to expand their games while saving as much money as they can. Making a game on a Hi-Definition Blu- ray disc not only allows for more uncompressed raw data and more audio support, it also benefits the developer at cutting cost of production.
John Carmack, game programmer and co-founder of id Software, has brought this up many times relating to his upcoming title, Rage. He has stated thatin order to put the game onto the Xbox 360 and have it look identical to the PlayStation 3 version, they would need to put it on about four discs which would cost them a lot in production costs.He also stated thatif Microsoft does not allow for them to put this game on four discs without charging them extra, he will have to compress the game massively to have it fit on two discs degrading the visuals of the game.Developers will adopt Blu-ray because of advantages in **** as well as price. Who would not want to make a larger, cheaper game?lolfaqs
Great find!
