XBOX 720 / PS4 and Wii U at E3 2012
- Thread starter Johnnytoxic
- Start date
Have to agree its weird to say but i think the biggest victory for games this year from my enjoyments seems to be the indie scene (mainly PC) with the likes of Orcs must Die, Spacechem, Bastion, Frozen Synapse, Terrinia. It felt like to changed from 1 or 2 breakthrough games to actually get some of the lime light this year.
Main reason it was called X360 and not X2 because its competitor was the PS3 - supposedly matters (c.f. nVidia changing their generation names to match AMD ATM). So agreed its unlikely to be numbered at all...
LOL at whoever said 1080p @ 60FPS
EDIT: Beaten by Spunkey already!

1080p @ 30FPS then! Or even 20FPS as many current games get away with that @ only 720p or below..

Im not saying its not obtainable, but the next consoles wont have that as a minimum standard, too many developers that just wouldnt be interested in the extra effort. Just look at how DX11 was received over DX10 - what were the first uses of it (for ages) other than efficiencies...

720p @ 60FPS is probably a reasonable minimum with a lot of headroom for bells and whistles - I just dont see that same headroom at 1080p, not while developers are still working out how to best code for the new consoles...
What were the old Xbox and PS2 games at? 576i?

Calling it the 1080 and then trying to justify it by saying "well, it's a skateboarding/ skating/ BMX trick and Master Chiefs helmet looks a bit like a BMX helmet and kids like extreme sports!" is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous. 
Agree to disagree I suppose. I just think the push in resolution to 1080 as standard, even if at 30FPS, would be better than sticking to 720p upscaled but with 60 frame.
Afaik, 30FPS has typically been the dominant option, with only the resolution ever increasing.

With the amount of spin you put on that you should be in politics.

It's safe to say the 360 stands for the degree, not by itself, but the 360 trick, does it not?
No idea sorry. I always thought it was for the 360 degree light on the front and on the controller.
Haha

Couldn't you imagine some MS marketing executive using that argument?
Not sure what that says about me tho
I'll just opt for being able to easily figure what they stereotypically would think in a nutshell, roughly, thereabouts, yeah...

The 360 was named because it was meant to represent a complete evaluation of what they were doing but continuing in the same direction (as in literally a 360 degree turn) afaik

I'd go for something like this aswell.
As for the 720p v 1080p I would take 720p @ 60 fps over 1080p @ 30 fps as smooth framerates are more noticeable over higher resolution especially as most console gaming is played sat on a couch a few feet away rather than cenimitres away like on a pc
