Looks like Sega got beaten to the punch. Seems like the framerate (in NBA Street) was dropped in half to 30fps in 1080p mode though (it runs @ 60fps in 720p).

Is this site reliable?
If this is true, I wonder if we'll see this trend in the future - 60 FPS 720p games with the option for 30FPS 1080p. Is the bump in res really worth the drop in frames?

Welcome beautful toddler, Madison Elizabeth, to the horde!
EA and technical prowess is still weird to see.

If I'm not mistaken, V2 was one of the few original Xbox titles to run at 1080i.

How'd you do that?......By setting your 1080p TV at 1080i?
P.S. Can you even get true 1080p through the Xbox 360 component cables?

if the game runs @ 30 fps at 1080p how scaling it down to 720p would make it run @ 60fps?!
it's clear that if you set the console to 720p the game must be being rendered internally @ 720p with no need to scale it down (but you still need to scale it up if you have a 1080p set)

so i have to set my 360 to 720 for one game because EA wants 1080 PR instead of a good framerate?
in games, yes.ForzaItalia said:

And Sony hasn't done the same thing before? Did you watch Sony's E3 '06 presentation? *shakes head* edit: MS has gotten a decent amount of criticism over the last couple of months for backpeddling on comments made earlier, anyway.Safe Bet said:
The whole 1080p thing is unecessary, IMO, but if there are people who are happy to have, then so be it.

well if it's an option i don't see the harm in it
it should be abundantly clear no matter what your console bias is that games that run natively at 1080p cannot also run at 60 FPS unless the game is very simple. it just can't happen. even if the console is capable of it, the devs would rather invest the resources they save to get the performance up at 60 FPS and 1080p into doing more with the game.
despite what people say here, 1080p is still a small fraction of the user base of console owners and will be for a few more years.

Manp said:does it have a VGA input? 1080p should be supported over VGA
Hmmm...I don't think it has a VGA input. Could be wrong though.....

i've edited my post, i'm not really into basketball games so i don't know if this game is actually any good
they should make an option to decide if the game must be rendered in 1080p internally or in 720p (with the double framerate) and then upscaled to 1080p like every other game out there at the moment

If this is your TV:

I don't think it does, since it only lists the HDMI inputs as 1080p compatible.

(Oh, and sharp is sending me a free replacement for the minor horizontal banding I have. wahoo!)
So it does? Awesome. Where would I go to d/l whatever I need for my 360 to output at 1080p?
Safe Bet said:
The argument that MS did a 180 on the 1080p issue isn't a particularly good one before MS themselves start to make 1080p games. If MS believes that 1080 games aren't worth the extra effort, but other companies want to make them, why not let them? What would they gain? It's not like 1080p was some kind of monster that MS tried to fight and gave up. MS still isn't making 1080p games (at least I'm not aware of any) and that shows that they haven't really changed their minds about 1080p in gaming.

Nice...
I am sorry guys but if Sony had done something like this the thread would be filled with endless post of "SONY LIES!!!" in different varations and you all damn well know thats the truth.
I'm just getting a little sick of Microsoft's stumbles being overlooked while Sony gets grilled at the slightest hint of a mis-step.
I'm just wanting for Luke and Garnett to laugh it up over Microsoft totally backpedalling on 1080p and Multimedia, but somehow I doubt it will happen.
Safe Bet said:
You know it's not like Microsoft swore up and down 1080p was absolutly retarded. They simply said it was very taxing on a system (true), and has very limited returns (also true).
Honestly, out of all the things MS has done, this is probably the most insignificant, and you are making it out to be this big deal.
Please calm down.
