Sony isn't setting a standard resolution. The developers can do whatever they want. If they want to, then they can do 720p, but if not, then they don't have to. Sony has stated that you will feel slowdown in high def resolutions, thus why the developers have to make the games in 480i/p so they can run smoothly.

where is M_hael? hes the one with the experience with the system and i still want to know if the tiling method i mentioned earlier helps developers, if not then why did MS waste their time and money on the EDRAM?? no matter how much EDRAM is really needed atleast the higher res and MSAA wont effect the 360 like it would the ps3.

well that may not be the case. when most people think about ram and games they keep the pc in mind and think that well if such and such game needs this much ram now then how will future games be. i dont see it being a bottleneck at all. unlike a pc which has programs running in the background and such a console can commit all of its memory to gaming. just look at what developers have accomplished with all of the memory starved systems before.

DOOM3 and half life 2 are two perfect games to bring up. those two should not be able to run on our xbox because of the ram requirements but they do/will play great. unlike a pc game which is tailored to a wider range of specs, consoles have more freedom to manipulate and exploit the power and resources the system offers.

besides with the system using a unified architecture for its memory im sure developers shouldnt have much trouble finding balance with their games. Itagaki said that he was extatic when he heard they doubled the ram and he is confident it has the technology for the next generation. i doubt he would comment on his satisfaction of the ram if he believed there would be future problems

I'm concerned about something that Carmack brought to my attention.
