the above was directed @ giantenemycrab... replied to the wrong post.
if you're going to reply, at least make it make sense. seriously, wtf are you getting at?
that was the "fake 3d" that the article mentions. the 3d processing was not done by the 360 at all, the TV actually took the 2D image and "guessed" where to offset the view of certain objects to make it appear like it is in 3D. like the article says, it works well for some games, in some situations, but it's a far cry from the real deal. just like DVD upscaling doesn't = HD.
to answer your question, when the HDMI people created the HDMI 1.3 standard, they doubled the amount of bandwidth that the protocol supported. this allowed for resolutions above 1080p, and also the HDMI 1.3 "deep color" which increases the color bit depth to enable the display of more colors than our eyes can even see. this eliminated the color banding you see sometimes on HDTV's (although many newer tv's actually correct for that without 1.3, 1.3 still gives better color though). ...
agree to the fullest.
Lets HOPE it doesnt get as bad as the Gamecube's support. Ulgh
To much Sasuke yuck :-p
Yeah but I still don't get why you're bringing Forza into this though and comparing sales of a 3+ year old game to a game just 2 months old.
On topic, GT is king. Forget the rest!
off topic, I would love a Grand Theft Auto: Prologue hahaha
AHHH crap. Seriously i thought this was an actual news story till i saw hhg on there. Damnit now i can't go on regular news story without knowing it's him or not.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
2-3 years is more than enough time to make a Halo game over there. They started shortly after finishing Halo 3
Chocobo pet arrived in email. So glad i can redeem the code online instead of manually doing it on the 360 (takes a bit). Now I can just turn on my 360 and it will download.
Hey guys...the Xbox 360 wasnt the only thing on the list you know...there ARE other devices.
You all are calling this the biggest fail ever. Why, becuase the Playstation didnt make the list or becuase every tech gadget up there didnt define the decade? If it's the later, please show me you're list of 10 gadgets that defined the decade.
Don't worry, I'll wait.
Anyone actually read this article? At all?
You freakin nailed it! That's exactly how I feel about some games this gen. Like everyone forgot about gaming with friends and family locally
ok, so it's fine if we show a bland track for GT, but if we do so for forza (for a fair comparison, bland track vs. bland track) and now we're biased? we could tossed in the london track from gt5 prologue and it would blow anything i've seen forza do away, but we wanted to keep it just between the demo and the game.
Keep trying We Won...
Guess what those downloadable movie bitrates are? 4-8mbps. Guess what a standard definition 480i DVD's average bitrate is? 4-8mbps. Guess what 1080p60 video uncompressed is? about 3000mbps. even blu-ray is 20-30mbps on average. yes, the downloadable movies use newer codecs that outperform the MPEG2 DVD uses, but those codecs are only about 50% more efficient at what they do than MPEG2. At 4mbps 1080p (like MS says they offer with 360 "instant on" 1...
how is a 1080p 60fps video encoded at 16mbps using the VC-1 codec a low quality internet video? do you even know anything about video? because i do, i've been in the video production business for 13 years. this video is about the same bitrate as broadcast HDTV(mpeg-2 19mbps), uses a better codec (vc-1, a blu-ray standard codec), and has a frame rate not even blu-ray can do. (current blu-ray spec tops out at 1080p, 24 frames per second. that said, they can update it to include higher frame rat...
Nice. Seems alot of wraps on games are being taken off in January
twitter is still iffy to me. Still i don't mind the free stuff.
GAC, take off the fanboy goggles and see for yourself. sony has been demoing ps3 running at 120fps 3d for a little while now. CES last year was the first time, now again this year, and IIRC it was at another show this year as well and will also be at E3. trust me, it looks and runs fine. even GT5 prologue can run in 3d, and that is one of the more visually impressive games this generation. They even showed Wipeout HD, a native 1080p 60fps game, running in 3d (i'm willing to bet at 720p though...
