PS3's Burnout Paradise getting 1080i patch, Xbox 360 ancient technology doesn't

Another false meme crumbles: 360's graphics are equal or better than PS3's.

In today's post on the studio's official blog, the Criterion team reiterated that when it comes to Burnout Paradise in high-def, they never joke around. They even posted a quick explanation of how they came to be able to support 1080i for the game's PS3 version.

According to Criterion, they're using some of the memory freed up by Sony's latest SDK to scale the 720p game up to 960x1080. The PS3's hardware scaler is then used to upscale the image horizontally and output at 1920x1080.

1080i support will reportedly be included in version 1.3, otherwise known as the Cagney update. While this is a good thing for gamers who have 1080i TVs that don't support 720p, Criterion still recommends that gamers run Burnout Paradise at 720p if they have that option.

Slowly 3rd parties start to embrace PS3's alien technology in order to push the industry forward.

an Introduction

Hello, my code name is "Zak" and I work for Sony's Secret Service (S3).

Most of my assignments are corporate espionage. My new assignment is to visit Internet forums to erase false Memes maliciously implanted by Microsoft via bloggers, biased media and legions of drooling, mindless haters that roam the net.

Some of the most popular false memes:

1. PS3 has no games.

2. PS3 sells mostly as a BluRay player.

3. PS3's graphics are inferior to 360's.

4. Killzone was a bad game, therefore Killzone 2 will suck.

5. PS3 users don't buy games.

6. PS3 is more expensive.

And I could go on forever...

I love my job and I've been lucky to meet many industry celebrities, including Ken Kutaragi, Shigeru Miyamoto, Surfer Girl (yes she is a woman and a very attractive one) and Uwe Bowl.

More to come...
