how come EA sports games are in 720p and not 1080p - Blu-ray Forum

Drives me nuts that the games are in 720p!!! when do you think 1080p games will be out?

PH3AR · 04-02-2009, 10:31 PM

hopefully all the 2010 titles will be, i know how you are feeling when i bought madden 09 and then played it, i could tell it wasnt 1080p and wheen check back it was only 720p very dissapointted in that!

Why exactly does it matter? Killzone 2 is native 720P, and I don't hear anyone complaining about that one.

It would be better if EA kept the games 720p and instead introduced better textures, dynamic lighting/shadows, and 4X anti-aliasing.

I think they should focus on gameplay first. I'm tired of those recycled Maddens. However, Fight Night Round 4 is looking really good. I'm not sure if it's gonna be in 1080p, but the videos and screenshots look tight.

It isn't as simple as just getting them to run in 1080p. You have to make sure the framerate will stay above 30fps. If that means sacrificing 1080p and going for 720p I am fine with that.

Because they're cross platform. And for some reason, the PS3 version of a cross platform game is not allowed to sport the extra muscle of the PS3 because that would be somehow 'unfair'.

PS3 exclusives aren't always 1080p. Many aren't. But you might notice that the 360 has basically no 1080p titles besides simple games, and the PS3 has an increasing number of them. GT5P in particular proves that the PS3 platform can do heavyweight game play, graphics, and resolution at the same time. The 360 simply does not have the power to go there.

Gameplay over graphics.

BINGO!
we get shafted, as ps3 owners, because they port us a game from 360 to ps3

what every game developer SHOULD DO is make the game they want for ps3 then port 'what they can' to the crapbox360 and let them have a weaker version.

ps3 is a muscle machine yet we are stuck with a 360 game due to the 360 limitations.

maybe we should get a petetion going

Blame Xbox360 for this one, having the game multi-platform ruins the chances that out PS3 version should be in 1080P. Given they have a whopping 9GB opposed to our 50GB disk to work with they would be able to make our games better.
