During last year’s E3, God of War 3 earned itself a reputation as one of the most beautiful looking titles of the future. With the recent release of demo screenshots around the web, the positive hype for the title has once again grown to full capacity.
Jeff Rubenstein from the PlayStation Blog has confirmed that God of War 3 will run natively at 720p. In the comment section of a recent news post Jeff posted the following:
God of War III’s native resolution is 720p with 1080 support.
Although this epic title will only natively display at 720p, that doesn’t keep it from being one of the best-looking titles this year. Check out the screens of the private demo to see just how great God of War 3 looks.
This game is going to look awesome. I just kinda hoped they would have done it in 1080p natively but beggars cant be choosers. Right.
God of war rules anyways
To be honest very few games run 1080p native. Most just upscale. Even Wipeout HD dynamically changes the resolution to keep it running at 60fps. I think Ridge Racer 7 is the only true 1080p/60fps game out there.
Does it really matter? I don’t think it’s important…it’s great gameplay that I look for (which is why I still play all my old games). What happened though is Sony really pushed 1080p (even stating once that the PS3 would sport two HDMI ports and use two monitors in 1080p) and then people started feeling like they need it.
i know this game is going to look awesome, but I just don’t understand now that 1080p has been the standard for High Definition for so long why games are still being made natively in 720p…whatever I’m still going to love this game
does it really matter. This is probably the best looking game of this year and GOTY
hello ….
size matters … LOL!
with bigger screens it does make a difference, even if i’m going to buy that game with 720p resolution, i would have prefer to have it in full 1080p for the 42″ plus monitors out there, for i intend in upgrading to a bigger than 62″ 3DTV … well after i could work hard & earn the money (or rob a bank … oh well i had to say this!)
God of war rules, even with less pixels .. ha!
cheers!
If your screen is 60″ or larger, then 1080p might make a noticeable difference. Otherwise, it will not. I’ve checked it. What will make a huge difference is your standard color contrast ratio. So many people get caught up in this resolution thing, little realizing that its not just how many dots are on your screen that makes it look good, but what color they are too.
I couldn’t care less, i still think GOW 1&2 look amazing.
