The popup may be there, but to an extent that you would really consistently notice it is what's so damn debatable right now...and driving me crazy because I can't decide what version to grab! I'm a total sucker for this thread...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

Perhaps they need retail builds instead of review builds.

So, can we say that the 360 version is more along with "What The Developers Intended" than the PS3 version? I'm sure they weren't aiming for 630p initially. It's quite clear the bottom of the barrel resolution they had to settle for with the PS3 version probably came about when the game was delayed the first time.
I think we can say that.

is there a way to tell if pop is due to a crappy dvd drive in my 360?
I know people are focusing on the pop in, and I know its a horrible quality gif, but the road lighting and reflections as the cars drive by look absolutely stunning.zig said:what this thread needs is more tree GIFs
You can see the tree was there in plenty of time if it popped in at all. 360 version, played from the game disc not a hard drive

Clearly nobody would accuse him of such and I sure as hell wont because I don't know him personally, but you have to realize that what he had was not a retail version of the 360 version running off the game's disc.
Also I was under the impression that Dot50 said that tree pops up that way every single time while playing.
You say this
"as explained last night, pop-in isn't going to happen the same way every time."
but that is not what Dot50 said when he posted that tree yesterday
"So heres a god damn tree (this spawns like this every time)." This was said by dot50 in post #1614 of this thread.
He said that pop in happened like that every single time. I'm not trying to be stubborn here, but upon seeing such a thing my first concern was whether or not it was a retail version or not, which it wasn't. It is simply not right to be putting out such videos or screens if it isn't retail because it can cause mis-information especially when the tree was originally said to pop in like that every single time. It's one thing if something pops in now and doesn't happen later, but he said it was a constant without fail occurrence.
The 360 version has more frequent pop in than the ps3 version, but more pop-in to a significant degree is pushing it. It just has more occurrences, but to a significant degree simply isn't in line with the truth. Pop in happens more than some of you know in the PS3 version so even though the ps3 has the advantage in the way of less pop-in it isn't quite as significantly better off in the department as some would like to think. It's simply better off and it's accepted that it is better of, but it is not significantly more so.
That now infamous tree pop in has been debunked and debunked bigtime. I'm not saying it's something dot50 did on purpose, but there is clearly something amiss about his version of the game (well obviously because no retail 360 game will run 100% off the hard drive)
Keep in mind, the fact that his version of the game was running 100% hard drive was meant to be a stamp of approval suggesting that if it's this bad on the hard drive it's likely going to be worse on the disc. I already knew that wasn't the case, but it's good for others to be seeing this now as well.

So your saying that 630p is the better resolution, or the 360's trying to hard?
I suppose it would have to be significant, since pop-in is dependent on several variables it would be hard to make a concrete comparison unless the difference was huge. However I don't think the difference is huge, and it's probably just a matter of chance whether you see more or less pop-in on either system. Of course I don't have the PS3 version so I could be talking entirely out of my ass.dfyb said:

Sony fans are a little bit winded after the last few pages. Hopefully they'll come up with a replacement for Doom Tree soon. This ain't over by a long shot (I hope!)

You missed where it was established the PS3 version requires a HDD install and runs at a lower resolution.

lmao, at the comments in the review from the deranged hardcore 360 fans - Classic! :kerry
:bow SDF :bow
yeah i went to sleep and missed the part where he said it happens everytime -- i went to bed after seeing the first tree gif, before it was found that it happens every time on his copy.CowboyAstronaut said:
my point still stands that, in general, pop-in won't happen in every circumstance though.
why do you have to resort to irrelevant attacks like this? the fact that ps3 version installs and runs at 630p somehow fix the 360 pop-in issues? no, it doesn't. you're but a troll.squatingyeti said:

So now the PS3 versions runs at 630p? And the 360 version has slightly more pop-in. It looks like parity has been acheived, especially considering how much 640p harping was piled onto Halo 3 by PS3 fanboys.
