gt4 does 1080i ingame
- Thread starter cobragt3
- Start date
I don't think anyone needs to apologize to cobragt3, because the facts speak for themselves. Next time he speaks, those that shrugged him off will stop and listen, that's ownage enough. 
I just hope everyone learnt a valuable lesson today. Taiwanese info is just as good as Japanese info. No one would have questioned this info twice if any of us who can read Japanese were to start a thread saying how 2ch reports are pouring in that GT4 supported 1080i. Oh well, at least it didn't go as far as accounts being put on the line. :lol

And even i am moderately surprised
"Man, those shots DC posted are pretty nasty looking (and I'm running my desktop at 1600x1200 so they probably are much worse on people using lower resolutions)."
he he - like i said - it was a case of pointing the camera at the projector , resizing and dumping them
also note, they are from the Dive replay mode, so they are deliberately "grainified" and have weird colours...
i'll do some video capturing on the PS2-PC linked machine tomorrow, but that will involve fixing my capture card.
Regardless, the game looks fantastic - at least the shots give some indication of lighting!

So is 720p possible in future PS2 titles?
Edit: Just did some simple math, and it seems that 1080i should be easier than 720p, so I guess the answer is a No.

probably not since 720p would actually require more pixels to be rendered. for a 60 fps game anyway.
But color me shocked, those pics might not be uber quality, but at least you can see some sick definition in some tiny areas. The guy inside PD that first suggested 1080i probably got laughed at, and now that it's running, probably everyone inside PD is laughing in unison at the Forza team
Polyphony just schooled everyone. Developper of the year!

I still think his posts in this thread were obnoxious, he basically kept on rewording the same post again and again without adding anything to make his info more credible, not to mention the amateurish style of his writing. I totally support jinx for confronting him.

I don't think it would really matter with 720p, anyway.
The difference between 720p and 1080i is very small, unlike the jump from 480p to 1080i.

As amazing as this is, it doesn't seem like true 1080i.
But beggers can be choosers, can we? It's certainly higher res than 480P, and that's incredible enough (although, I'm not sure I prefer the game at higher res than 480P..... the extra res does seem to amplify the game's visual defacts more).
I'd prefer to play @ 480P in this case, but that's just me.

Did I just say I'd play GT4? :lol
Um, no....I don't recall anyone(certainly not the majority) insulting him or anything...but because some people preferred to be cautious and not just take something at face value, only to be disappointed later, he labled them/us haters? Personally speaking, I always prepare for the worst, and if I get good news instead, then it is all the better...rather than expect the good news, and then be extremely disappointed by the bad news. I don't think any sane person can say anyone who had doubts regarding this feat didn't have any sound reasons for having them...and it is that arrogance, the "Hey y'all if you don't believe me you MUST be a hater" all-or-nothing stance, that disqualified him from any such apology. Sure he was right, but as far as i'm concerned, there's nothing wrong with wanting to wait from more widespread confirmation before doing the happy happy joy joy dance.

before i forget - one pain in the arse thing about photo mode....
placement of you car is restricted (at least in the few locations i chose)
for shibuya there are three "areas" you can place you car, everywhere else is forbidden.
Not a deal breaker, but somewhat of a pisser.

DC, try and blow your engine in gt4. Read this
Yes, you can blow your engine. I've done it only once, but I remember flooring the engine during the countdown, and after it launched there was this big pop sound, then you can no longer accelerate beyond 2k rpm or something, and your engine keeps popping and you can see blow-off from the mufflers.

Dcharlie - So how big a difference is there between the 480p and 1080i modes? Shogmaster seems to think there isn't much, I would like your opinion since you are viewing on a nice projector.

Let's take a look, shall we? He was told time and time again he was wrong. He simply called people who did not believe him a hater- how siu that worse than what was said to him?
Who was talking out of their ass here?
He provided links to the official site as well as impressions from those who have the game. What else did you need?
shantyman said:
And? It was still hearsay, and people's doubts were still well-founded....is 480p support widespread on the PS2? Has there been ANY 1080i PS2 game? Even a simple one? Weren't there quotes from Polyphony people that went against the possiblity of even 480p for this game? Didn't some of the resident techies have their doubts due to the PS2's limited 4MB? So to err on the plausible side of things, one is a hater? To want something more solid than "This person from this forum said such and such" is to be a hater? I mean, it's just simple logic that one would thing such an "OMG" feature as this would have made quite a bit of noise...but it came out of left field, so why does doubting=hating?
I think there was a special level of disbelief/derision towards him because he is/was a jr. member. Do you honestly believe that if any regular member with tag and or high post count would have been treated like an idiot like he was? There were a lot of condescending remarks, his only reply was if you didn't believe it you were a hater. I'm surprised he did not say something ruder (which was certainly warranted).

Maskrider thank you for taking the time to take screenshots, if it is not too much trouble could you please take a capture of the Australia Cars screen.
DCharlie, what projector is your PS2 hooked up to? I ask because I'm interested to find out what native resolution your projector has.
Also, props to Cobra for sticking to his guns.

...and that, kids, was the first time I sucked a dick for crack
Hahaha, you know what's the best part about all of this? People who used to crack on the game's hi-res screenshots and said "it'll never look like that on your TV" must be feeling so incredibly stupid at the moment it's probably hurting them. :lol :lol
God I've never been this excited for a game.

Exactly...i'm referring to the "misc. person on misc. forum said such and such, so it MUST be true" stance. Simply "in-game" was all that was confirmed, and it would not have been impossible for it to have been either b-spec, or photo mode, or reply mode or whatever other caveat. Geez, it's like it's illegal to think first and try to weigh the plausibility of certain things before going batshit insane with bliss. Anyway, i'll not derail this any further...personally i'm very pleased and amazed that this is true, and whenver i do get an HDTV, GT4 will definitely be the first game I try on it.
