FinalFantasy VII for PS3 resolution?

[Udo]

I was thinking of getting FF7 for PS3 from Sony Store online but has it been updated to run at 16:9 ratio or does it use 4:3 ratio and just center area of the HDTV?

It's 4:3 and hasn't been adjusted. The best you can do is fullscreen it through the PS3's scaler to stretch it to 16:9.

strettttch it! just like silly puddy and a newspaper comic. It's fun!

Get it on PSP if you have one, the small screen helps the poor graphics.


PS3 version looks the same as the PS version.


I didn't like the stretched look.

FF7 looks kinda nasty on my Samsung 52" 1080p hdtv, I knew the graphics would look dated but damn it is flat out ugly.

The rose tinted glasses got me good, I remember the game looking good, guess that was on my old 20" Sony...

No it looking good was the 10 years ago fact. In it's time the game looked great, now it looks like dogshit.

Part of the reason they will likely remake this and not others.

get the PC version and crank up the resolution

 

[Udo]

Nah, I have too many RPGs for my PC already but I have none for my PS3 so thought FF7 might do me but I don't want to play it at 4:3 or stretched graphics. Maybe I will get Dragon Age for PS3 but I read that is better on PC too.

It looks better 4:3, but it still looks like you're playing a PS1 game on an HDTV. I got it anyways and its worth it for the gameplay.

Since when can you crank up the resolution on the PC version? How far can you crank it?

It's a mod.

As a warning for people who try to play this on PC. There are a few points where many systems crash and just can't get pasted. mine crashed in the video where Cid steals the Tiny Bronco.....didn't get to finish the game.

Hm, yes it is ugly and I am not even a fan of Japanese style graphics in games. Think I will get Dragon Age for PS3 instead. Or is that Demon Souls a better RPG?

The game DOES look good on SDTV. That's the biggest issue with HDTV is scaling, makes things so ugly. Sigh.

I do have a 20" CRT in my bedroom so could just go buy a PS2 if I wanted SD games to look good but I think my eyes are not good enough for games on a 20" TV these days.
