GoldenEye: 007 Reloaded runs at 1080, but only on PS3

Recently announced GoldenEye 007: Reloaded will run at 720p on Xbox 360, but PlayStation 3 owners will be able to play the game at 1080.

The detail was confirmed to VideoGamer.com by Activision producer James Steer at a London announcement event for GoldenEye 007: Reloaded.

GoldenEye 007: Reloaded is being developed by Eurocom, and is an HD update of 2010's GoldenEye 007 on the Wii. Eurocom has developed a new engine "from the ground up" for the Xbox 360 and PS3 version of the game - but is it more than a simple port? "Undoubtedly," says Steer. "From a single-player point of view it's the same story and the same locations, but there isn't an area that we haven't gone and upgraded or reloaded in some way."

But what's been changed, exactly? "From a geometry point of view there's higher detail in the environments, more props, from a technology point there's much higher detailed textures, animations, effects, sound effect, completely new AI built within this engine."

anyone else find it strange that one version running higher than the other isnt mentioned anywhere else

[KonaBro]

LOL Keep spinning units. The idea that the PS3 version might run better than then 360 version just eats you up inside huh? Well there's only one way to solve that: get a PS3. ;)

[blackbeld]

Yep,

PS3 is a powerhouse with Alienware.

Day one for me!

[lategamer]

Lol, the PS3 was always suppose to be better than the 360. It came out a year later, was hyped to run Dual 1080p at 120 FPS and be able to do 4D.

In the end, it's a bit more powerful than the 360. Games like Crysis and Gears of War 3 (beta) look just as good as Uncharted, GoW, Killzone, etc.

If you really care about graphics, just buy a gaming PC.

[badz149]

How can this be possible?

[zootang]

I didn't even know the 360 could even do proper 1080p?

[Muletroid]

i actually find it very hilarious that some of the COD haters are in here looking forward to this despite the fact that this game plays EXACTLY like COD

its COD with a james bond skin

[NanoSoldier]

The PS3 is not more powerful than X360. That's just fanboy-thinking here on N4G. Games like Dead Space 2, Crysis 2 (X360), Red Dead Redemption (X360) are far more impressive than Uncharted 2 or Killzone 3. Only fanboys here always make you believe that the PS3 is above the 360. And Gears 3 will be the best looking title on consoles this year.

[davekaos]

@ greywulf

you absoltely owned him there and i agree with everything you said!

Have a bubble

[Adam2101]

@nano soldier.. dead space and redemption are better graphicly than KZ3 and UC2 ?

its your opinion man but i don't agree..

and crysis 2 has great graphics! but KZ3 is equal if not better graphicly. console of course, on PC its a beast.

Greywulf: Every person on earth who thinks that Uncharted or Killzone is technically ahead of Crysis 2 needs to visit a doctor quickly. The technology of Crysis 2 is something which hasn't been done on consoles yet and is far superior to every heavily scripted game you mentioned. That's the truth and everyone who knows a little bit of technology according to engines knows that I'm right.

[Active Reload]

Looks like a certain group of console gamers are getting their hopes up, lol. Where is the quote? Where is the source? This article shouldn't have been approved. It makes you guys look stupid and if one group looks stupid then we all look stupid.

Greywulf, settle down, here is what happened to your king...

http://www.gamespot.com/for...

[Why o why]

Im scratching my head reload. What happened to which king. Gt5 god of war killzone or uncharted. Those shots looked ok and im sure they're both betas so i dont get the point...is the point that the fans of that site prefered the graphics of gears over u3 or that the shots show a clear winner..please elaborate. Is this how you are when theres a 5% performance difference in a multiplatform game when the 360 comes out on top....cant remember you bringing up shots, funny that but i could be wrong right.;). A certain group of gamers is getting worried....see its easy to do

Something like this would of probably got blown to high heaven if it were the other way around but i dont think its that important for a game like this ie not a full blown retail game unless im mistaken maybe because its a wii port so my expectation are lower. This game isnt even a graphical beast but greywulf makes some very valid points that nobody has addressed but theres a lot to counter mind you so i wouldnt blame ya for clicking dissagree with angry face..lol

[NoobSessions]

Day one, but this is kinda be blown out of proportion. I think both consoles get their fair share of multiplat games that run superior. The 360 gets a bit more though.
Anyone remember the whole RDR thing, where PS3's was sub-HD?

[MeanOldman]

pure pwnage from grewulf.

[Prototype]

It's the only Activision game I "MIGHT" buy; IF done correctly...

I miss the original Goldeneye on N64 :(

@greywulf

What taxing lighting, u mean full deferred lighting instead of dynamic lighting? You sure know your tech greywulf. Oye, where is patrick Stewart when u need him?

Why can't u use multiplatform, if they are better than exclusives (technical and graphics wise)? If 3rd party can push game further than MS exclusives (techwise and graphics like Crysis 2 or resident evil 5), why should MS exclusives be consider the limitation of the console?

Also, do you know what type of engine ND and GG use for their games? ND/GG made them up or it is a multiplatform engine? The things about Unreal engine, is that it is versatile and easy to use and almost everyone can practically use it to great effects (it does have limitations). ND and GG also modify other "PEEPs ENGINE", start with an "H", for their games as well. A BIG hint "demon soul". If you still don't know what it is, can someone here post it please? Just some information for you since you think multiplatform engine are of lower class or 3rd party developers (who develop multiplat engine) aren't capable developers.

When u develop a game, you wanted to have a goal for the game do you want your game to be in just full HD but to achieve it, u have scripted gameplay, full of high resolution CGI/QTE/Cutscene that take up 50gig of spaces, linearity, lack of coop (split screen), lack dynamic lighting, low AA, etc...sure...you can get HD games running great at 720p or even 1080i with 30fps -60fps. Heck i'm playing some arcade game running at 1080p at 60fps right now. Or do you want to have a dynamic environment, large open game, coop, dynamic lighting, dynamic effects, better AA (and i don't mean MLAA as a better AA), but you will have to sacrifice some resolutions instead? It is really depend on what you want, console ain't pc. And for once, it isn't Gears in 720p and at 30fps? Same with resident evil 5 (now that one is a looker). 720p at 30fps is technical marvel to you perhaps?

Is infamous as details as GTA4 or RDR or just a blow em up type of super hero game like superman, prototype, etc..? Don't compare infamous to GTA or RDR type of details. I can dig it out with you going through the types of details in those game that infamous doesn't have if you like.

if you ask ND/GG/etc...if they can ran those games but not the others, well they can't because they are stuck with the cell that bottle neck by split low RAM. And plus, i only heard the about the almighty ps3 exclusive on n4g mostly, when outside or on other serious gaming blog, when people were asking for what game they should get like KZ vs Call of Duty, most say go get call of duty; on ps3 forum no less. I just look back at n4g and start laughing.

I do agree with you on one thing, the expectation of anything beside ps3 are pretty low, N4G only of course.

Now i'm waiting for rebuttals start rolling in, and i hope, BIG HOPE, that you guys would have something to back them up.

[baodeus]

thanks greywulf and you guys for the 2 disagrees. I was actually expecting a lot more. it is quite below my expectation, but it will do. I like it especially when there isn't any reply to dispute what i said. I know it hurts you guys to think, but hopefully it get better with times.

Anyone else care to join the discussion? You know bring your OWNAGE. Although i advise you guys to bring your thinking cap instead, not like Greywulf here with his same fanboy BS again (u know just list the games on ps3 as a winner and call it a day and nothing to back it up either). Same old shits, since what, the release date of UC1?

Here let discuss about the details of infamous vs GTA4 for example. Let just pick a car for example, what can infamous do with a car vs what can you do with a car in GTA4. Now there are much more than just cars in GTA4, but just to let you see the kind of details that infamous lack, which is why it shouldn't be consider in the same category or the same leagues as GTA4 or RDR. It should be compare to game like prototype. Oh, and it isn't GTA4 also ran in 720p (on x360) with 2AA while infamous is 720p with no AA? Since you are so much into resolution there, so let compare them then.

http://forum.beyond3d.com/s...

Also, developers are looking at each other or sharing ideas to make their game better. Not like Greywulf here some how manage to turn it into that developers are looking up on ps3 exclusives for guidance. Didn't Bungie gives ND tips on how to do proper online multiplayer? I don't know if you guys can think or not, but you guys sure have talent in bending reality at will.

Alright, it is already at 3, usually it get to 20 something disagrees before i get some respond, might not be proper though, but still better than nothing. Keep going guys, almost there.

[Why o why]

Baodeus

Why can 3rd party devs do better that what ms's can. Thats called tallent. Ive stated many times before that if naughty dog, santa monica, poly digital worked exclusively on the 360 they would get better results than whats been achieved. Using multi's to gauge graphical prowess is more flawed than using exclusives. It used to be the other way around when bioshock and the first gears came out but since sonys 1st and 2nd parties overtook those games the goalposts have shifted. Graphics only seem to matter to some 360 owners when a game that competes is in the pipeline irrespective of the other factors that are commonly used to downplay sony's games.....you know the ones. Bu the gameplay, buh the colours, too stiff, dont sell, pcs better..list goes on.

As it stands you compare sony's efforts to the best of rest.

Best looking/ tech in a hack and slash game.
We have dante's inferno, ninja gaiden, gow3

Driving
We have forza, drift, gt5

For shooters
We have crysis, killzone, halo reach, plus 50 others

3rd person shooters/whatever
We have gears, uncharted, enslaved, batman aa

Super sandbox we have,
infamous, crackdown, hulk, spiderman

Sandbox we have yakuza and gta

Sports we have
Fifa, nba xk, nba, mlb x plus 50 others

Rpgs we have
Wk chronicles, final fantasy, demons souls, fallout, plus 30 more

From my quick list you can see that if sony's game isnt top its right up there in 90% of the genres listed. Multiplatform games dont compete at the top of as many genres so from that standpoint exclusives are the better barrometer of graphical prowess. They have proved more often and consistantly than multiplatform games do plus the slight winner of multiplatform games goes with the lead platform 9 times out of 10 and from what you can see they dont tend to push harder than either consoles exclusive efforts especially on the ps. Their reources are stretched and they seldom take advantage of either hd consoles strong points. All you have to do is show me the games that are technically better than those listed.

Ill add i didnt know what genre to put alan wake, heavy rain and a couple others into plus im sure ive missed a few. I've just gone with some of the main genre's so dont hold that aganst me.

So what im saying that if a multiplatform game is the best in its direct field then its the barrometer of course but if most of the 'best in class' for most of the genres happens to be an exclusive then it makes sense to go with the majority doesnt it

Oh, you not going to get a glut of dissagrees as nobody's gunna care to read all your wall past your wall. Exclusives graphics used to be the barrometer but since that got fudged its now about multiplats. We get it man so yeah, if you've the energy please show us who comes top of most of the lists if drafted. Cant wait

[baodeus]

@why o why

" what im saying that if a multiplatform game is the best in its direct field then its the barrometer of course"

exactly, when we talk about technical aspect, rating and sell doesn't mean anything. You can make a game with high tech, but if the story is crap, gameplay sucks, it doesn't matter. We are talking about tech wise, so anything with the highest tech (including multiplatform) can be use to gauge power of the the hardware.

"but if most of the 'best in class' for most of the genres happens to be an exclusive then it makes sense to go with the majority doesnt it"

Not exactly, multiplatform game not only compete in every genra, they tend to have more and are often dominant factor over exclusives (rating and sell). Only fanboy (you know who) tend to disregard the entire multiplatform games as inferior, to boost their so call exclusives when in reality, multiplatform are the dominant factor that takes up a large chunk of gaming industry. Here is a list of the top/great multiplatforms from every genra (including some exclusives u listed for comparison).

Hack & slash
Bayonetta, DMC4, Castlevania LOS, NG, GoW, dead rising, Dante Infernal,

Driving (do you just want sim like driving only?)
Grid, Dirt, NFS, PGR, Forza, GT, Drift, Motor storm, .......a lot

FP
portal, half life, L4D, Fear, CoD, BFBC, Crysis, Rage, Bioshock, Metro, halo, kz..infinity (too many FPS)

TP/action
Vanquish, RE5, Dead Space, Batman, enslave, dead rising, splinter cell, Gear, UC, MGS4,

RPG
Witcher, Skyrim/Oblivion, ME, Dragon Age, fallout, FF13, TOV, LO, WKC, demon soul, fable, etc.....

SandBox/super hero sandbox like
GTA, RDR, LA Noire, Just Cause, Saint Row, prototype, spiderman, infamous, crackdown, yakuza

mystery/horror/scary/
condemned,silent hill, alan wake, heavy rain, (a lot more multiplatform, but couldn't remember)

I could list more, but can't remember that much. This is just right off my memories. But you see, multiplatform are much more relevant than fanboy thinks (well on n4g mostly of course).

But this is a good start, only at 3 disagree and i'm getting a respond already. A pretty decent one at that too. Thanks man. Here a bubble.

[Emilio_Estevez]

The article says they confirmed it to this site in particular. No one else asked most likely.

[gamingdroid]

Although possible, it begs a few questions:

a) there is no "real" source and nobody else is reporting this
b) there is no quote to put in context, but there are for other less interesting news. It's in the title for God's sake.
c) there is no technical reason for it being 720p as opposed to 1080p on the Xbox 360. This is a port of an old game we are talking here.

[Inside_out]

.
Maybe, Sony can port all those great Wii games with Move support in 1080p. Wii games with higher resolution than Uncharted, KZ and RES 3...LMAO

In related news...Retired wannabe genius Ken " I cost Sony Billions " Kataragi announces he was right. Wii games with 1080p 120 fps inbound on PS3. :/

[DigitalRaptor]

Is it really not that difficult to understand that a less demanding game will be able to run at 1080p?

I see you trying to be funny though, good try! ;)

[Nitrowolf2]

wait? So your laughing at 1080P Wii Port? What does that say about the 720P port?
Plus this isn't Sony doing

[YogiBear]

@ Inside_out

You are really not funny. You should stop. It's better for everyone this way.

[a_squirrel]

@inside_out
I was about to crackdown on that ps3 fanboy above you (1.3) but then I noticed your below, and instead of using his post as an opportunity to make all ps3 owners look bad, you peed into the wind. Good job.

[M-A-R-S-H-A-L-L]

Are you seriously trying to implement damage control.

[subtenko]

As an ol Nintendo Fan and fan of the game, Im glad they are doing this. I want them to push the boundaries, so I'll be picking this up for my PS3. I loved playing that game on the n64, good times!

Agree or Disagree if you Agree

[firemassacre]

sorry xbox owners...maybe next time.

[kreate]

u got 1 bubble and u used it up for that comment? o_0;;

[a_squirrel]

@above
lol, I never thought of that, It must be why he only has one bubble...

[TheXgamerLive]

this story is a lie, and the author of it was an idiot. He only said 1080, NOT P but 1080, lol, he's an obvious lil fan girl who likes to lie. regardless, it will run at 720p or 1080i on both consoles.
Enjoy the game.

[ChrisW]

Even if the PS3 runs at 1080 and the 360 runs at 720, I doubt there will be a noticable difference. That is, unless you're playing on a 48"+ HiDef LCD or Plasma.

Heck, I bet even LoT won't be able to find much difference between the two resolutions. Because we all know that more is not always better.

[Bladesfist]

@ChrisW Their is a huge difference between 720p and 1080p if you want ill take 2 screenshots of BC2 and show it to you

[ChrisW]

Not at 6 to 8 feet away from a large screen TV.

Here's an article by CNET explaining such. Skip down to point #9 "Side by side, how do 720p and 1080p TVs match up in head-to-head tests?"

http://reviews.cnet.com/720...

[slapedurmomsace]

I didn't even notice that..definately could be 1080i.
This happens both ways, some 360 multiplats run better and visa versa. Point is that any game running at 1080p shouldn't be news, it should be a standard at this point.

[tdogg06051991]

It is still going to be a good game on both consoles.

[morkendo]

so, basicly up-GRADED wii game

by the way D. craig is the worst J.BOND ever!!
Pierce BROSNAN WAS THE BEST!! besides S.connery,R.moore

[antz1104]

....which is an upgraded version of the mother of all fps'.

FYI I love Pierce Brosnan, but if you put the two Bond's up against each other Im pretty sure Daniel Craig could drink him under the table and STILL beat him to death while Sean Connery and Roger Moore (really man, Roger Moore, wtf?) ran for their lives. :D

[Fez]

Anyone else find the idea of playing a Bond game with the main character being an actor a little strange. I would much prefer a unique bond who doesn't remind me of the assassin monk from Elizabeth or Mrs Doubtfire's nemesis.

[badz149]

No gadjet Bond is not Bond at all. There are tons of other action movies out there but personally I watch Bond for the cool gadjets, which Craig probably have forgotten where he put them!

[frostypants]

No, too-many-gadgets Bond is not Bond at all. Craig's Bond has more in common with the original book version.

The best Bond is a toss-up between Connery and Craig.

[TheGameFoxJTV]

Exactly as Frosty said. The bond that isn't using a gadjet every 5 seconds is more in tune to the Bond of the books. Which are 1000000000000 times better than the movies.

[raWfodog]

D. Craig is definitely one of the best Bonds, in my opinion. Right up there with Connery.

[artynerd]

Connery IS Bond. All the other actors are just trying to reach the bar he set with Dr. No. There are many images and lines in that film that are not only classic in the Bond franchise, but legendary in all of Hollywood.

Goldfinger is the unanimous favorite 007 film among true Bond aficionados, and it's no coincidence that Connery's Bond is the star.

[The_Quiet_Man]

@ Morkendo  
"by the way D. craig is the worst J.BOND ever!! Pierce BROSNAN WAS THE BEST!! besides S.connery,R.moore."

Thats the biggest problem with this remake, I can't understand why they didn't use Pierce Brosnan again like in the original N64 version. I know hes not Bond anymore but I'm sure for a price he would have let them use his likeness again.

I would've bought it out of nostalgia alone but I'm not a fan of D. Craig. It just doesn't feel right having Craig in Goldeneye when the film still stars Pierce in it,
so unless its actually a good game I won't be buying it. Never checked out the Wii version since I don't own one, off to look at youtube.

[YogiBear]

There is Sean Connery and then there is everyone else.

[rajman]

I love 1080p :)

[meetajhu]

really? then you should have bought a PC

[rajman]

I already have a PC, problem?

[user8397144]

People dont have hundreds of dollars to build a 1080p pc.

[MidnytRain]

Well, sir, it looks like rajman just pwned you hard. It's okay, just sit there quietly.

lol xD OWNED.

OH SNAP.

[XabiDaChosenOne]

You got owned bro, that's what happens when you make assumptions like a dumba**. PC fanboy fail.

[Montrealien]

me too, just to bad most amazing ps3 exclusives don't even run in 1080p.

[YogiBear]

@ Montrealien

Don't you have a hockey puck to amuse yourself with instead of elitist PC talk?

This is a games forum. You are a PC elitist. Isn't their a PC only websight you should be trolling?

When you start seeing more magazines that talk about PC Gaming instead of Tech then come back here and talk gaming. Gaming on the PC is an after thought to most. Consoles are made for people who enjoy gaming.

We here have PCs and we use them to talk about gaming. We use our consoles for the playing of our games. (PC gamer... you are the minority, live with it... but don't get butt hurt when you don't get games made for you)

[Laypoof]

A lot of people don't know this, but the 360 can't display TRUE, ONE-TO-ONE native 1080p, while the PS3 can. Glad to see them take advantage of the PS3's superior hardware.

[WhiteLightning]

"Glad to see them take advantage of the PS3's superior hardware"

for once...

[a_squirrel]

I wanna correct Layproof
Through HDMI Xbox360s, it could not do native 1080p, but you can use a DVI adapter thingy for 1080p. Check the difference. It's true. :P
(that what we use)

[Fishy Fingers]

Find that hard to believe, do you have any evidence to support that. As technically there's no reason it can't. Speaking generally, not specifically this game.

[Raendom]

Xbox slim can. Xbox elite and backwards can't. Anyway I'm excited o play some goldeneye finally a good old fashioned fos multiplayer game. I Hope they made the online really good for ps3/60

[Convas]

Proof sir. Anyone can pull a "fact" like that out of the air. Now, back it up with evidence.

[TheGameFoxJTV]

This is the internet, people don't know the difference between fact an opinion. They think something that they themselves believe hard enough in, is a fact.

[Laypoof]

man, i remember that vid from way back when :o
still solid proof :p

[Montrealien]

you fail on so many levels Laypoof. If it was the case, why have I been playing uncharted in 720p? Same for Infamous for that matter, two of my favourite franchises ever.

[skrug]

@Montrealien

what does that have do with 360 not displaying a true 1080p image?

[Hanif-876]

We all know that the Xbox360 doesn't do real 1080p dwl

[fireplace]

This guy is an idiot. Dashboard is locked to 720p and this doesn't prove anything.

He should have pick up a game like Virtua Tennis or Geometry Wars, 1080p games and then compare the image.

Sorry, but this vid is a misinformation. You shouldn't believe some random goy from youtube who has no idea what he's doing.

Digital Foundry
Geometry Wars 2: Retro Evolved utilised the Xenos GPU within the Xbox 360 to create a huge amount of particles, enemies, and bullets - all rendered at full 1080p at an uncompromised 60FPS.
Form an article about iPad version, http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...

[BlackKnight]

Exactly what fireproof said, Dashboard runs at 720P at all times.

This just goes to show both the old video maker doesn't understand what is going on and neither do you Layproof.

What too many PS3 fanboys or just plain ignorant gamers can't seem to grasp is the 360 can only output 1080P through HDMI. This would then mean any of the very old 360's with no HDMI cannot play any of the few 1080P games on the 360 @ 1080P, such as:

Fifa Street 3 = 1920x1080 (4xAA)
NBA Street Home court (demo) = 1920x1080 (4xAA)
Sacred 2: Fallen Angel = 1920x1080
Virtua Tennis 3 = 1920x1080 (2xAA)

And then there a lot of XBLA games that run at 1080P

This site is full of people arguing about tech, yet have little to no knowledge about what they discuss...

[multipayer]

Only until just recently they banned the usage of 1080p through component, and I think it was only for bluray players... Plenty of TVs accept 1080p through component anyway.

The wii emulator activision slapped together was farther along on PS3, that's my best guess.

[Thoreau]

bubble, the truth. i play on a 50 in sony, and i can tell the difference between the 360 1080p and the ps3 1080p, it seems that the 360 could only do 1080i, the xboxslim360 still has that 1.2 hdmi.

[fireplace]

Xbox 360 can output native 1080p. Virtua Tennis prove you wrong!

[ILikeTurtles]

you're telling me that the 360 can't do native 1080p when an ati radeon 3600 can go beyond it?
Bullshit!

[LNDCalling]

Yes but an ati radeon 3600 on PC isnt limited like the 360 by 10MB of eDRAM which isnt enough to hold a 1080p image which is 16MB, or even a 720p image with AA so the 360 needs to tile the image, splitting the framebuffer and passing in to normal memory!..

Whether thats deemed 'true' 1080p.. I don't know!

[Ulf]

Naw, the 360 can do 1080p via tiled rendering.

Apparently, the 360 version of GoldenEye is just bad at 1080p, so they went with 720p. It wasn't bad on the PS3, so they went there. Simple.

[Ulf]

LoL @ the disagrees. You poor saps will never land a job outside of the Walmart you work at, with that mindset.

I challenge even one of you to come up with a different, reasonable explanation as to why its 1080p on the PS3, and not on the 360, outside of the blatantly untrue "360 can't do 1080p for realz".

It can do it, it just sucks at it, because tiled rendering is hideously expensive (on the 360) due to the same feature that makes the 360 GPU so darn fast at 600p.

[artynerd]

Did all you Sony Ponies forget when the PS3 was about to launch, Sony claimed they were the only "true HD" console? Yeah, they tried to sell everyone on how all of their games would be 1080p.

I can probably count on one hand how many true native 1080p titles are out for the PS3.

The only people that can claim true resolution superiority are PC gamers. Don't call me a PC fanoby either, because I don't even game on my computer.

It's funny - Sony fanboys have no problem acting high and mighty with their *slight* power advantage over the 360, but they'll be the first to whine and cry when a PC gamer starts talking real stats.

[PirateThom]

Find me where Sony said "all games" would be 1080p.

They only ever said capable.

They have 1080p games.

that was true in 2006. which is when sony made 'some' of those comments.

its not like im going take a comment microsoft made back from the 90's and use it in 2011 and say they are liars. ur taking it out of context.

[LNDCalling]

True in that 360 does 1080p 'tiled'...

As far as I remember its down to the eDRAM, the Xenos GPU achieves large throughput due to the eDRAM but unfortunately the eDRAM @ 10MB isnt enough to hold a 1080p image @ 16MB, it is enough for 720p but even then only with no anti-aliasing.

To incorporate anti-aliasing simultaneously, resolution needs to drop to around 1024x600 or the frames need to be tiled, where the framebuffer is split into chunks and swapped out into normal memory, this comes at a cost.. for '720p, 2xMSAA' around 1.4 times the level of keeping everything in the eDRAM and 1080p 1.6 times!

I think thats what people mean when they say 360 does not output 'true' native 1080p.

Edit: as @Ulf just said.. sorry only just seen your comment.

[Bladesfist]

BULLSHIT!
http://msdn.microsoft.com/e...

"The most important graphics consideration for programming for the Xbox 360 console is the wide variety of televisions that the Xbox 360 system supports. The Xbox 360 system supports both HDTV and normal television sets, at multiple resolutions (480p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p)"

I don't own a 360 but i hate it when people make crap up to attack a system

[NukaCola]

They should allow to play as Brosnan, or add every Bond as unlockables

[WhiteLightning]

Urgh I know Daniel Craigs Bond kills this for me, it seems silly I know but Goldeneye is about Pierce Brosnan's Bond not Daniel Craigs. They should of called it a new game if they are "re telling" it

[wenaldy]

I'd rather Bond played as Timothy Dalton

[SonyNGP]

1080p as in 1920x1080 or some 1280x1080 res claimed to be 1080p?

Will have to wait until the game is released.

[LOLOLFFSA]

Yup. Well if the Gt5 were running only in 1280x1080p because it has so much more content I dont see why this game could not be in true 1920x1080p on PS3.

I have a Xbox 360 and 720p is not a problem. My screen is 1080p cabable so the games will upscale to "1080p" and they look good. If I need true HD gaming that is where my PC comes in ;)

[CaliGamer]

Nice troll sir. Good stuff.

[Ninver]

More reason to get the ps3 version. Count me in.

[Sizzon]

Interesting, but why on earth Daniel Craig??? should of been Pierce Brosnan.

[Simco876]

Still doesn't have the maps from the old game.....

[T-K47x]

I want them to do a bond game like the good old PS2/Xbox games like Nightfire, the hours I spent playing split screen was far too many.

[Jumper09]

wow at some stupid people here...
the 360 can handle 1080p too...

[duplissi]

*upscaled* not true 1080

[KING_KAI]

yes it can do true hd so long as it goes through HDMI. composite just doesnt cut it for me. link to native 1080p games on both systems

http://n4g.com/news/568332/...

[kreate]

@king kai

im not agreeing or disagreeing anything about the 360's capabilities of performing true HD. but the link u provided wasnt a very reputable source.

i respectfully ask if u can provide a better source plz. thanks.

[Bladesfist]

How about microsofts MSDN

[Venjense]

I'm starting to notice a trend now, for about a year now Multiplats have looked slightly better on PS3 more often than not.

[ernsttco]

I think it's because a lot of the big games that have come out the past year were built on in house engines. These seemed to take advantage of the ps3's strengths. The unreal and COD engine games are the ones that usually have issues.

[Venjense]

I heard it because the standard now is to lead on PS3. Apparently it's cheaper and easier to develop games when you lead with PS3 then port to 360.

Although, PS3 still unnecessarily increases dev cost and complexity.

Vita shows that Sony has learned its lesson though.

[KillerPwned]

This is gonna be bad ass, the wii version was amazing so i have no doubt this one will be even better. I will deff buy this game day 1 so excited to play a good James Bond game on next gen consoles finally.

[Ace_Man_6]

And when they mean '1080', they mean 1080p

[darfreeze]

I love my PS3!

[danthebios]

1080p game on ps3 always gets my attention :)

[BlmThug]

I Have A 720P TV Only So Doesnt Bother Me

[Noctis106]

It only does Wii games
It only does 007 games
It only does 1080p!
=> It only does everything!

[iLLMATICxKiNG]

I have a PS3 and a 360 but I will be getting it on my 360.
I just prefer the 360. Sure the PS3 has better graphics, but I don't pay a s***load of attention analyzing the graphics, so if it's different, let it be.

[qwertyz]

SMH the 360 is rendering at 720p because of the EDRAM 10mb limit not because the gou can't output that resolution but because a 10mb framebuffer isn't enough to hold 1080p but it does have alot of bandwdth so the alpha effects on 360 can be rendered at full resolution, that same bandwidth can also be used to get free HDR on 360 and be used for lighting calculation such as Godrays;which are yet to appear on any ps3 game because the ps3 is bottlenecked by the little bandwidth the rsx has access to its this bandwidth limitation that also causes alpha effects on ps3 to be rendered at quarter resolution because the bandwidth simply isn't enough for the render output units to work at full speed. learn a little about computer hardware before you start talking out of your anuses would you ? there both have advantages and disadvantages. besides did they say it was rendering at native 1080p or will it be upscaled(like GT5) ? console fanboys are soo ignorant when it comes to technology its very very sad. you guys need to learn more about technology so that your console companies don't lie to you about the capabilities of their machines. 2006 pc >>>>ps3/360. PC FTW!! at least we pc fanboys know about the technology thats in our machines so where not as bad as you console fanboys.

@BeastlyRig

lol I know the ps3 version probably renders at 1280x1080 and upscales just like GT5 lol its not even confirmed yet so I think all the console fanb0ys might want to wait till the game relases before commenting on this. Isn't that how crysis 2 on ps3 was supposed to be better yet the 360 version ended up being better ? EXACTLY. consoles have been outdated for half a decade now and its sad console fanboys talk up visuals when not 1 console game can even match bulletstorm pc in the graphics department(and bulletstorm looks like crap compared to proper pc games)

@iLLMATICxKiNG

I was just pointing out the ignorance of the ps3 fanboys that think their console is superior to 360 in every way when it isn't

[iLLMATICxKiNG]

SMH!!!!!!!!!!11111

I said I don'y analyze graphics. I could give two s***s less, honestly.

[iLLMATICxKiNG]

I don't find there to be a superior console, honestly.
PS3 has better graphics, sure. I just like the interface of the 360 better.

[morganfell]

Here is a clue for you since you lack them. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. You can quote apparent specs all day long - some people on this board actually work in game development and are laughing their ass off - but specs do not amount to anything compared to the reality of the products produced.

The fact is the quality and the graphical prowess of PS3 exclusive titles as compared to 360 titles render anything counter you have to say a moot point. Reality beats rock, paper, scissors, your comments AND Chuck Norris.

[WetN00dle69]

ANYWAYS the remake looks great. Might pick it up once it releases.

[BeastlyRig]

meh ps3/360 hardware sucks..1080p is not a big deal anymore.. well maybe on consoles..

1080p 30fps I bet..

[CaliGamer]

For someone who hates on consoles so much, you are sure all over any story pertaining to them. You sir are a 1st class troll, good day.

[The_Quiet_Man]

His rig is so beastly, where can he get his ego boost? I tell ya, acting like king Douche on N4g.

One would think with such a mighty PC he'd be happy playing his superior games but I suppose when you feel like you've wasted your money you can try justify it by putting console owners down to make yourself feel better, if it helps or are you just being childish?

[GoldPS3]

Every year games are looking better on PS3 while some games look the same or look like crap on 360.

[Gazondaily]

Wow that is actually a big advantage for PS3 considering that its the same game.

[clarkjudo]

PS3 Compression is high, therefore you may get 1080P. You may get nice light reflection surfaces as usual. But your color and contrast will be less than, because of its compression levels. This will be (or is) the difference between the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions.

As a side note, if your viewing is 50 inches or higher, you will tell the difference in quality between 1080P and 720P on any console. Most people do not have this size of viewing. So, I guess it really doesn't matter anyway. :)

[thespaz]

You can also run GTA IV at 1080p on the PS3 too. It's still a low res frame upscaled to 1080p.

Is GoldenEye Reloaded going to be native 1080p on PS3? No upscaling? If so, then cool.

[Tzuno]

Advertising, it works like prices only 9,99 that in fact is 10, well paranoia works. Lambs.

[MasterD919]

Not really an issue for me.

Especially if you compare this with the N64 version.

[StayStatic]

Whos the pixel counters now :O :P :D

[DarkBlood]

looks to be a retail release i assume if so i wonder if i should sell the wii copy or just keep it

[ddkshah]

looks like black ops while running at an hd rez and at 60fps lol somebody sucks at optimizing (treyarc)

[TheLastGuardian]

Meh, I don't care what resolution this game runs at because I don't want it anyway.

I just found out Ico & SotC collection will run at 1080p. Now thats the 1080p PS3 game we should be excited for.

[AngelicIceDiamond]

The PS3 fanboyism...is....relentless in this comment thread. Ok its running at 1080p more power to u....But to suddenly bash the Xbox version for no apparent reason is ridiculous. Are you guys really that prideful? Whats the problem? Then some people say oh yeah u should get a PlayStation because it has shiny texture....

Not all PlayStation fans troll (Thank you) , but its the majority really need to grow up.

[PirateThom]

Maybe because when it's a SLIGHTLY lower resolution on PS3 you have 360 fanboys freaking out?

Just a thought, it all comes around.

[LNDCalling]

lol.. so true..

Calma, I'm believing in that philosophy more every day! :D

[AngelicIceDiamond]

To be honest its been a while sense I've seen an annoying Xbox fanboy.

[etowntwo]

It would be cool if if gives you a choice of which Bond you choose to play with.

I'd still go with D. Craig but it would be a nice extra.

[PLAYER5095]

move support??

[Jihaad_cpt]

whats up with PC fanboys they really dont like console related news. yes we get it PCs have more current hardware and more RAM. How most games on console are more fun

[HaloSpartan]

Actually more fun on pc with mods an stuff. Nice excuse though....

[Jihaad_cpt]

I didn't know mods were fun, I was referring to single play experiences, have fun playing the same games

[uncharted3]

Does this game have split screen multiplayer?

[WillGuitarGuy]

:D

[slavish3]

who cars you wont notice which is better unless you play them side by side and who really cares enough to do this. just get the port you want.

[HaloSpartan]

@Jihaad_cpt - You mad clearly because of my mod comment. have fun spending money on a game and then abandoning it like disposable trash.

[MonopolyRSV]

PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE. This is the doodoo Activision 2010 Goldeneye, not the original N64 game we all know and love.

[ZETTA]

OMFG!! another PS3 game running at 1080p but with low resolution textures!! LOL

[MasterCornholio]

Fwap fwap fwap fwap ahhhhh yeah that was good.

Now I shall state my humble opinion.

Who the frell gives a damn really? I mean in the end they will look about the same with such a tiny difference that you wont even notice it. Now what matters the most with any multiplat now is this.

1. Controller
2. Friends (if it has multiplayer)

Now to drink some coffee and eat some peanuts because i got a date with the devil in my underpants. Hopefully this time around we eat at an italian instead of McDonalds. And the birds go tweet and the fantasies rave on and on about the mutant ninjas from outer space who shall one day take over the world.

And this is how most fanboys argue with utter Nonsense.

Good day to you sir.

kinda usless, im mean doesn't everyone on the internet have a "wii full of dust". GE on wii looked great, so what the point of re-releasing it?

@lategamer stick to what you know because it seems hardware knowledge isn't one of your strengths considering the noob response you made above.

Btw it's 6 pages long have fun reading!

http://arstechnica.com/old/...

[IHateYouFanboys]

i dont believe the article for one second, for a few reasons.

- no other site has made mention of this. not a single one. suddenly some no name site is getting the breaking news that NOONE ELSE has? yeah right.

- it doesnt make sense. the GPU renders images, and the 360s GPU is better and has a better memory setup. i dont think there is a SINGLE multiplatform game on the PS3/360 that runs in a higher resolution on PS3 than it does on the 360. not a single one. the other way around though, there are dozens, and they are some of the biggest games around - Red Dead Redemption, Crysis 2 for example.

- note the way the article words it: "GoldenEye 007: Reloaded will run at 720p on Xbox 360, but PlayStation 3 owners will be able to play the game at 1080."

that doesnt say that the PS3 will run it NATIVELY at 1080. youll be able to play it at 1080p on the 360 too, since EVERY SINGLE GAME ON THE 360 can played in 1080p. every. single. one. a damn good hardware upscaler will do that for you.

- not even SONY can get their games to run in native 1080p. they couldnt even get remasters of their PS2 games to run in 1080p (god of war for example is 720p), so why do you suddenly think that whoever is doing this game will be able to do it?

[PirateThom]

Upscaled Wii game, it's all completely nonsense about the tech behind it and the improved textures. Believe me, this game, no matter what resolution it runs in, will still look like an upscaled Wii game.

[cedaridge]

i have a ps3/xb360 and i prefer ps3 games, but 1080p? i some what doubt it. psn: cedaridge / xbl: cedaridge

[ufo8mycat]

Played the Wii version recently, so not interested in this, even though it has a graphics upgrade, still playing the same game again.

Enjoy for those who haven't.

Whether you play it 720p or 1080p, in the end it makes no difference really, same game.

As for 1080p, how many of you actually play on a HDTV larger then 42" ? If not, then it's kind of pointless.

I still find it hiliarious theres HDTV's out there that are less then 42" and are 1080p LMAO

[2v1]

So this is a remade (for HD graphics) version of the game that came out last year, that was a completely rebooted version of a game that came out 11 years ago? I loved Goldeneye on N64 but I don't know how much interest I'll have with all the other games coming out this fall.

[earbus]

Ill get the remake next gen a remake of a remake should be great them remakes are stuffing up gaming period.

[Jazz4108]

Hopefully it will run as good as the 720p version on the 360. It may compromise something else to achieve this but we will neverknowuntil the release. All in all highr res games are usually prettier but don't al2ays run as smooth.

[emmerin]

wow look at all of the ps3 fanboys come out to play. I guarantee that the 360 version will look better come release. this is activision after all.

[yamzilla]

it's already on pc in 1080p

dolphin emulator FTW!!!

ohhhh,..... and its free!!

[PirateThom]

So, you don't pay for the game or the computer it runs on?

How splendid, theft truly is amazing.

[jay2]

This isn't Golden eye, D.C not P.C as Bond, NO. extra content that wasn't made by the then legendary Rare added? NO!Not buying this, I want a proper Goldeneye HD will P,B and only Rares content.

[Whackedorange]

Nice that this gets a 1080p on the ps3 but really all games on the ps3 should be in 1080 with minimum 60 fps but i guess it cant since its not as powerfull as some wishes it to be

[ps3destroyer]

Has any utterly stupid ps3 fanboy thought that maybe Sony paid for the graphical feature?

[yourfather]

UPDATED: Activision responds.

UPDATE: Activision has contacted VideoGamer.com to clarify Steer's statements, and has confirmed the game will run in 1080 resolutions on both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3
