m_chael, how about 1080p gaming on the 360? It should be possible after the update, so is it just as difficult?

its not impossible, but it is unlikely that we'll see games utilizing free cameras rendering at 1080p. A game like Resident Evil could manage it, its cameras are somewhat limited and thus the amount rendered can be limited by the designer.

There are other ways to limit what is rendered but I can't go into that as I'm currently involved in designing those systems.

simple answer is ... its not impossible, but don't expect it to become commonplace.

i see, i was refering to an earlier comment including full 3D games with 20X overdraw and AA.

Lair? (and i think sonic is rumoured to be 1080p)

Lair : British. a place in which to lie or rest; a bed.

you want to explain?

Lair: Factor 5: Playstation 3 game 'said' to be in 1080p, and teeming with dragons http://uk.ps3.ign.co...761/761161.html
It seems to be quite widely accepted this game is running @ that rez.

gah you didn't see my joke, its spelled LIAR not LAIR .... nor did you understand my original comment.

also - "widely accepted" and actually running at that resolution are not the same thing. It could very well be, and nothing in my statements say it won't be... it simply shouldn't be assumed that all (or even many) games will.

you sure about that? I spelt it lair.

lair: british,a place in which to lie or rest; a bed: ------ also where dragons reside
liar: japanese, aka kenny K.
yeah thats fair enough, i understood, but was wondering if you thought it was true - lair is quite a pretty game after all (maybe not the fire effects, but its said to be 40% done)

BTW - can i kick flip the ps3 motion sensor controller? if not why not  

ahh.. looks like the jokes on me... i thought you meant LIAR : case in point... not LAIR : a game you were refering to.

no its not - your post makes much more sense now i know you thought i was calling you a liar; but i'd never be that rude
I was merely asking your opinion on lair because its not exactly a basic looking game to say the least - and its claimed to be running @1080p. Just thought you'd blatently be more knowledgable on the subject.

edit: on the kick flip comment: just realised that even if my outrageous suggestion was implemented - you wouldn't be able to tell me. In anycase, if i find i can't when the games released i will come back in here and kick up a stink

Liar, Ridge Racer 7, and sega's tennis games have supposedly all been confirmed to be running in 1080p, on the ps3.  So i don't know what to believe.  I guess we will have to wait until the games are actually released.
