So, let me get this straight:
Judging from the thread on Mark Rein's comments, GAF really wants the next-next-gen consoles to come right the fuck now so they can plunk another $300-$400 down to get real HD, 'cause sub-HD just doesn't cut it anymore.
But in this thread, GAF either
1) doesn't care about sub-HD, it's all about gameplay
or
2) cares a lot, but doesn't want to plunk down $200-300 on a video card that can make their PC run it.

I'm making assumptions here, but from what I've read in GI and from what we've seen at E3, things are pointing in that direction (corridors, scripted, etc.).Bumblebeetuna said:
I can't condone great presentation and atmosphere, but I really would love for a different experience each time I played the game. All those barriers and limitations hindered my engrossment with the game, not to mention that fast movement and pacing.

Don't listen to them IW, CoD4 rocked and so will MW2. Glad you guys have your priorities straight. Too many games then generation have painful framerate issues and tearing for the sake of hitting "720p."

What is it with the super aggressive PC elitism? We get it. :lol

On consoles, I have more respect for devs that go for higher framerate, than for those who release games at sub 25, because it needs to look pretty for the casual crowds.
Do you understand why I wrote the post you have quoted now?

People, there's something far more sinister at work here. It isn't an issue *just* of missing pixels. The humble pixel could be seen as an analog of the cell, a fundamental subunit of all life. Without cells, life is nothing, without pixels, games are nothing. Pixels are not rocks, their colours and values change, they can even die and grow dim. None of them are immortal. What Infinity Ward is perpetuating here is tantamount to abortion, it gleefully wipes out pixels before they even have a chance at life. Several years in "development", several hundred thousand innocent victims. You fuckers have some nerve laughing about this wholesale slaughter, it makes me ill. But what is even worse is that Infinity Ward is blind, it refuses to see the malicious nature of its acts.
Infinity Ward, publicly apologize and cancel this pixel-death orgy or you can kiss your business goodbye.

I knew that the PS3 version of GTA IV wasn't running in 720p within five seconds of playing it.Asmodai said:

So did I, but CoD4 looks much, much cleaner than GTA4.
I'll caveat that I'm not especially interested in this game. That said, I can't understand why people care about this one bit. Different developers use different methods to reach different levels if fidelity for what they want to achieve. As long as the end results looks good enough for the goal, it doesn't mantter.

People can easily relate to and take a stance with numbers and <> signs vs having to sit there and actually evalute the product.
I commend IW for making 600p look as good as it does. COD4 is still one of the best looking games on a console. Sure if you put your nose into an odd texture you can find flaws, but playing through the game like a normal human being doesn't reveal anything sub par.
If not for those pixel sniffers I never would have known.

Condone is not the word you want here. Perhaps you were thinking of "condemn?"
I don't know how you can consider a "fast paced" shooter to be a bad thing. Would you prefer a more slovenly shooter? :lol The whole point of COD4 was that it hit hard and fast, it surprised and impressed many people that way.
Aye. Pointless thread, really. People who care about resolutions that much will have a high end PC anyway. It's just an opportunity for the "PC Master Gaming Race" to come and remind us once more how vastly superior their hardware is.

Judging by the CODWii thread, no, you really don't.Misterinenja said:
EDIT: To clarify, games like Halo, Call of Duty and Fallout, are PC games and were originally developed for the PC. They have been re-tuned and put out for console. This modern hardcore gaming is really casualized PC gaming. The pixel counting just makes that crystal clear... and doubly ironic when this same casual crowd pretends to be the hardest of the hardcore in threads about this game on the Wii or Epic Mickey.

it was fanboy hell back then! of course i was a kid so it didn't seem like a big deal. i'm not a kid anymore and now the fanboy thing is just kind of.....sad, really. but i do try to remember than there are actual kids on GAF so when i see fanboy posts i just assume they're a kid and not an adult behaving like that behind their video games.

720p means 1280 lines of horizontal resolution and 720 lines of vertical resolution.
600p, as described in the OP, measn 1024 lines of horizontal resolution and 600 lines of vertical resolution.
1280 * 720 = ~922k
1024 * 600 = ~614k
xenorevlis said:
That's because we can change resolutions at will on the PC so they don't need to be a selling point. Got a 1920x1200 resolution Monitor? you can set the resolution of the game to 800x600 or 1920x1080 or 1280x720 or even 1024x768, it doesn't matter.
PC gamers are so used to changing resolutions at will that it just comes as standard.
