Uncharted Demo runs at 1080p

An member of the NeoGaf forums posted a picture showing that the Uncharted demo runs at 1080p

[Meus Renaissance]

GOTY

[chester]

pretty much no chance of that. but it is going to be great. can't wait to get it. just don't know where the time is coming to play uncharted/cod4/assassin's/mass effect. don't even start on rock band or mario galaxy either. good god.

[Danja]

yup GOTY..srry Assasins Creed..!!

[socomnick]

Goty will most likely be Bioshock. I have a feeling mass effect will win it though.

[assjacket]

I just started the demo and it switches from 1080p that the XMB is displayed in to 720p that the demo uses. I just hit the button on the remote and it says 720p so I don't know what this person is pulling.

[Loopy]

Maybe you don't have a true 1080p, like any HDTV older than a year....
My HDTV only makes 1080i, and I bought it a year ago....

[rofldings]

try unchecking 720p in your display settings.

I can confirm it runs 1080p on my TV as well.

[remix]

but anyway, this doesnt matter for me because i only have 720p unfortunetely.

but hows the demo?

[rofldings]

Mass effect? please. I saw a "sex scene" from that the other day on Kotaku... And wow the conversations are SO bland and boring. Their faces are emotionless. It plays like a gears of war clone... etc.

What exactly about this game is good again? I really don't know anymore.

[jaja1434]

I saw a scene in Uncharted where the guy was just standing there doing nothing. Pff what a boring as hell game. I mean all he did was stand there!

Now how stupid does that sound? Try being less fanboyish and judging a game as a whole and not for some 30 sec. clip.

P.S Uncharted looks awesome! Its like Tomb Raider but for a new generation! Can't wait to play it.

[ParaDise_LosT]

This is comming from you?!
Hotshot?....
*checks the newspaper*
.....nope...its not snowing in hell...
demon! what have you done to our resident fanboy?! >:O

[jackdoe]

That's interesting. I thought it capped out at 1080i. Hmm.

-edit- But damn. I read the neogaf forum. Jeez, rampant with fanboys and flame wars. I thought that it was supposed to be one of the cleaner forums on the internet?

[Loopy]

Ya.

[Darkiewonder]

It ran at 720p.

May just be the demo. didn't they say it'll run at 1080i? at least the retail. I may turn off 720p to see what happens.

EDIT: Also, it looks like the PSN STore went down. lawlz.

EDIT: Oh geez. Don't turn off 720p if you have a HDTV Set that is native to that. lol.

[malingenie]

Same in Rtchet and Clank, you can make the PS3 do it, but in R&C, even though it worked, it was too slow.

BTW, Ditto on PSN being down!
EDIT: Pray tell, why the disagrees?

[NRG]

Not to bash Uncharted, but this doesn't mean anything. I'm NOT saying that Uncharted doesn't run in 1080p. I'm saying this is not proof. That info is being displayed from the TV, which is the Sony XBR2, I recognize the appearance. I would know because I had the XBR2. That number there, is whatever the 360 or PS3 is set to in the settings. For example, if I choose 1080p in my 360 settings and popped in Halo 3, it would still show 1080p despite the fact Halo 3 scenes are rendered in 640p.

[jackdoe]

Rendered in 640p, but upscaled and output to your tv as a 1080p signal.

[NRG]

Exactly, that's why the TV shows 1080p. Upscaling to 1080p is far from the same as having true 1080p. God knows what the game really is just because your TV's signal is coming in as 1080p.

[rofldings]

"God knows what the game really is just because your TV's signal is coming in as 1080p."

NRG, you do realize the PS3 can only upscale horizontally. That means it's vertical resolution is 1080 native. It's horizontal resolution can be upscaled from 960x1080 1440x1080 1600x1080 to 1920x1080 - that is the ONLY way a PS3 game can output at 1080p - other than, of course, if it is true 1080p (1920x1080)

@Jackdoe - there are PS3 games that run native 1920x1080. Not a lot yet, but they do exist.

[Myth]

I have a sony too, most new sony's have the same looking menu options. If you have your ps3 settings for 480p, 480i, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p when the game loads it loads in it's native res (720p or 1080p). However if you remove 720p and 1080i the the ps3 will output it in 1080p. I don't know if it upscales it or what, but thats how i got Fantastic Four to play in 1080p instead of 720p. I tested it several times.

[jackdoe]

But no game has true 1080p so I don't see your point.

[NRG]

rofldings - So that just means we wouldn't necessarily know it's true vertical resolution?

Myth - Pretty sure the only Sony's with those settings are the KDS-XBR1, 2, 5 (LCOS) and maybe the XBR3 LCD.

jackdoe - I'm pretty sure there's some out there in true 1080p. I just think there's a lot less games in true 1080p than people realize.

[Ju]

Usually "real" native 1080p games run 1080p, even if 720p is active. Upscaled don't. They prefer their native resolution, 720p and only fall back to 1080 if that is not available (try Ninja Gaiden, for example*). I would still like to have an option to configure this. Either thru a global "preference" settings (e.g. priority levels on resolutions) or in game settings (only if 1080 is available).

*) Need to modify that a bit. Ninja Gaiden runs 1080p only with 1080p & 720p, it runs 720p with 1080i & 720p on (and I'm not sure if the 1080i is indeed upscaled, 1080p is not).
Tekken 5 runs 1080p or i, even with 720p enabled in the display settings.
Grand Tourismo HD (don't know about Prolog) runs 1080p or i with 720p on
So, it might vary, but seems to hold true for at 1080p (and most 1080i).

[gunmetal]

NRG - that display bar is not unique to the XBR2.

It's identical to the one they've been using since the Grand Wega days of the KDF-E42A10

[Kaneda]

I can't wait xbots trolling PS3 news...and say it is all LIES! :)

[Bonsai1214]

i was pretty sure that i heard this game would be 720p. but great news if its in 1080p. i need to get home and download a whole bunch of stuff off psn.

[vilmer]

Unbelievable demo. The graphics are very sharp @ 1080.

[Ri0tSquad]

cant wait for this game

LOl @ the xbot who disagreed with me.....sad.

[Kaneda]

Did you see the little fishes? :) his body got wet when he jumped in to the water...and dry a little bit later...

[dexterwang]

oh my god the demo was so good

Utterly amazing graphics, best in game animations I've seen, kick ass platform gameplay!

Can't wait to be playing this game in 2 weeks!!! Still have to finish R&C before this hits

[SIX]

The whole 1080p thing just lost alot of credability. I don't think they should be able to advertise 1080p unless it's native. Upscaling is bull crap, and to me anyways is a cheep way out. I don't think this game runs on full 1080p. I thought the developers already said that it was 720p.

EDIT: @The MART. Yup, absolutely. Did I just agree with you?!? Jeez, the world is coming to an end.

[rofldings]

Not as bs as advertising 1080p for the 360. At least the PS3 has a vertical resolution of 1080 when it displays @ 1080p upscaled.

[TheMART]

So COD4 1080p was not real, Uncharted 1080p probably also isn't?

[HarryEtTubMan]

^^^^J E A L O U S Y^^^^^

[RudeSole Devil]

This just tells me the majority of creditable magazines and internet organizations really don't know shi_t about anything any more. For instance when Gamespot stating that Call of Duty 4 on PS3 doesn't support 1080p when it does. I'm pretty sure the game is only supports 1080i, and if you have a half way decent TV the TV will upscale the image to 1080p. If your TV only supports 1080i you should custom set your PS3 only to display in 1080i. If you leave the PS3 to set your resolution automatically, for some reason the PS3 will downscale the image to 720p. Don't know why this happens but anyway you should never allow you computer or electronic device to make chooses for you.

[Hamadzedan]

all that details and and complex textures at 1080p .... thats really amazing and its not possible but on PS3.

[SSCOOLCHEA]

Yes it is running in 1080 p. Why do you guys always have to changed settings. Once I load my games in there if its 1080p that what it switches to or whatever it supposed to run on. When your connecting with HDMI the best picture setting would be the cinema mode on. Thats the best picture available.

[NRG]

I have the Bravia A3000 now. The 1080p shown in the corner when you hit display is just the signal the TV is receiving. What is actually being shown could be different. A lot like how you could be watching HD ESPN in 720p. The commercials flowing in, between commercials, can easily be 480p. The TV will still show 720p in the corner as the signal is still coming in as 720p.

[OOG FunK]

crap man when each game can play in 1080p are we gonna have to make a thread for it??like really isnt everything suppose to be 1080p??instead of reportn it for every game?

[SSCOOLCHEA]

I dont know about you guys like I said my tv switches to the format that it supposed to play on when im running my ps3 . my tv setting for HDMI is all automatic and I have never had a problem with the picture.

[assjacket]

Well I changed the ps3 settings by turning off the 720p option. I just restarted the demo and it stayed at 1080p.
I must say though that when given the option the game chooses 720p over 1080p. If that's all it takes than you can say all the games run at 1080p just by turning off all other resolutions.

[SSCOOLCHEA]

watching an upscale dvd has got to be the worst. Thats why I dont know why people are so excited about the old movies coming for blu ray or HD DVD .There never going to be good because they were never film by an HD camera.

[Brawler]

Best part in the demo is going in the water then your guy gets wet lawlz so awesome. He dries off too.

[Antiomo]

I bought the cod 4 game thinking it will be 1080i/p but when I forced the system to do 1080i , the game still felt and LOOKED 720pish.

If you look at my previous posts I am a ps3 fan, but too many ps3 fanboys here really think the game is True 1080i/p

So far I've only seen one ps3 that can do and at the same time look 1080 and that is ridge racer.

warhawk and rainbow 6 vegas on the ps3 look actually MORE blurry when you force it to 1080 resolution.

Downloading the drakes demo right now, hopefully it represents true 1080 res.

[Bonsai1214]

you realize you can't force the ps3 to output at 1080p right.. and you also realize that vegas is native 720p, and the ps3 doesn't upscale to 1080p. and also, 720p generally looks better than 1080i unless you're looking at still pictures.

not trying to be picky, but what i said is true.

[Antiomo]

But I do have a 1080i projector and tv.

Tested the ps3 on both screens.

When you have 720p and 1080i checked off in the os

Warhawk and Cod4 force it to 720p.
Rainbow 6 outputs it at 1080i BUT it looks sooo blurry

When you have uncheck 720 p in the ps3 OS
It Forces cod4 and warhawk to output 1080i on the tv
Warhawk suffers the same rainbow 6 at this resolution
Cod 4 It litterly looks 720pish and it looks Essentially the SAME as 720p even when it says its outputing at 1080i.

I dont know how the ps3 is programmed,but you can force COD4 to 1080i if you shut off 720p.

I've played many many pc games at high res and I can easily tell what res is what. And games like warhawk, r6v, and cod4... although they say on the freaking tv its 1080i it is not.

Now plop in ridge racer 7 and there is a HUGE difference between 1080 res and 720p res.

Im not trying to flame, but the ps3 fans are jumping on the hype of 1080 resolution and they truly believe it.

[jinn]

who cares

[AnalFace]

Halo 3 at 640p, uncharted at 1080p. Works for me.

[IRONMAN_X_357]

this game is just way too kick ass for any other platform
another killer from the best...SONY and of course a fan favorite, NAUGHTY DOG

[techie]

it 720p, supports 1080i. This screen is only showing what his tv is doing, nit what the game itself is rendering at.

[ShiftyLookingCow]

more and more PS3 titles are beginning using horizontal scaler. imo only GT5 benefits from the scaler(it looks much cleaner)

[demolitionX]

i have a 1080p TV, but uncharted ran on 720p. this 1080p is a bogus!
i will try to uncheck the 720p and see the difference :)

[rootEXT]

This games is sooooooooo awesome!!!!!!!!!!! I hope it gets some recognition doesn't matter if doesn't win GOTY as long it get some awards.

what's with this guy mart ive been a member for a couple of months and this guy is all over ps3 forums always making stupid comments, if you dont like ps3 why bother coming in here? seriously? xbox360 have lots of AAA title? why not go and play them?

i have ps3 and elite but i love my ps3 more

seriously mart, get a life and play some games you gotta stop this nonsense

[arika]

all together now say it " GAME OF THE YEAR".
nuff said!

[SSCOOLCHEA]

I love my ps3 but no the demo is not 1080p . It running in 720 p ..

[tk]

Get real kids. I have a PS3, will maybe get a Wii if the Eye can't do the same mid next year.

But this 1080p thing is silly. Only very simple games will be in native 1080p. Mostly all 1080p games for XB360 and PS3 is not native 1080p, but upscaled from very similar native resolutions.
