I liked it a lot... very pretty... compared to excite truck it isn't as fast paced and slightly more realistic... the dirt effect was pretty cool too...
Not sure what difference 1080p makes at the moment... I thought that there were no games out that support that res? Even motorstorm was dropped to 720p. I appreciate that the console UI probably looks lovely but that's one hell of a high cost of entry. = /Biff said:With the proper setup, the PS3 REALLY shines... i.e. 1080p LCD at least 42" or larger, 5.1 surround, proper viewing distance.
Theres a few playable demos that are 1080p NBA and f1 come to mindPsychotext said:Not sure what difference 1080p makes at the moment... I thought that there were no games out that support that res?

Cool, am looking forward to seeing how that turns out.Rash said:...f1 come to mind

game and return to the XMB. I tried every button and none of the menus had a Quit option
that took you out of the game.
That is crapilly designed demo man. Let us fucking leave when we are done assholes!

My friend who works at EB Games was talking to his manager about that, and apparently the PS3 hardware is actually at the bottom of the kiosk.spotdog14 said:has anyone else taken a really good look at the Best Buy demo units? If you look at them, they are not actual units, they ahve the case and what not, but if you look on the front where the USB ports, etc are it is just a printed sticker, they are not the actual ports and if you look at the back it is the same way, nothing is plugged in, its just a sticker. Im wondering if the actual unit is inside of the case, or is it in the bottom of the kiosk?
Take a look next time you are there...
1080i is sharper but IIRC madden is 720p natively no matter what the console so I don't see why it would make a difference.Sky15 said:I just got mine, and it seems that the 360 looks sharper in 1080i then when I play Madden in 720p on PS3? I'm running the PS3 through HDMI, maybe I should try Component cables.
I don't think so because the unit doesn't have a upscaler chip.oqvist said:If 1080i is the native res of the monitor...
I was stuck on component and 720p on my xbox 360 and the PGR 3 cars look absolutely rubbish...
I got my VGA HD cable yesterday which allowed me to run 1360x768 and oboy it got 100 times better...
btw is there a way to run the games at 1080i and then downscale?
Sky15 said:Also if you have a 1080P TV will the Blu-ray movies run in 1080p instead of 1080i?
Sky15 said:Has anyone tried out Madden or NHL2K7? They both seem jaggie and not to great. I'm running the PS3 through HDMI. could they be the problem? It just doesn't look as good on my 360.
Look directly underneath the fake display. in the middle of the grating, or whatnot. It's vertically oriented.spotdog14 said:has anyone else taken a really good look at the Best Buy demo units?

There are a number of TV's available for less than $2500 ranging from 37"-40" that do 1080p. There are no commercially available plasmas that do, and by far the best 1080p TV's I've seen are LCD panels. A large number of people have picked up Westinghouse 37" 1080p panels for 1500-1700 or less in some cases.Humble_Magii said:How are people playing or going to play at 1080p at all? There are virtually zero plasma and LCD's for sale that can even do 1080p and almost all do 720p at best and a cheap version of 1080i. The best plasma and LCD's for the money do 720p and a ghetto 1080i. These are all sets from zero dollars to 3500 dollars and higher ($5000).
I am just curious how people are accomplishing it since statistically by the numbers 99% of the USA can't go past 720p and 1080i with a television. I have two 2405FPW's and they could do 1080p which I can see for a bedroom or a dormroom kid. It's a monitor though not a television.

How long is the power cord to your PS3?
Thanks

My dad's new $2200 Sony 55" SXRD set does 1080P. The 50" model does it too, for 2g's or under, iirc.Humble_Magii said:How are people playing or going to play at 1080p at all?

I played this same game, on a ~32" LCD. Motorstorm is hella fun, and has decent graphics. The controls were perfect if you ask me. I did notice some of the textures looked really shitty though if you pay attn to detail. AA would make it better as mentioned. Load times were not long at all, a major plus. I only played for about 15 minutes.quadnad said:I got a chance to play Motorstorm on the PS3 at a kiosk at my local EB Games, running at 720P (so not 1080P).
My impressions? The visuals were very poor in comparison to all the hype the machine has gotten...antialiasing is needed desperately, and the textures need some good ole fashioned anisotropic filtering as well. It looked as though a mid-range PC could pump out significantly better visuals.
I'm a PC gamer, so perhaps my standards were too high, but I have to say I really wasn't happy with the visuals. Again, this is only limited to Motorstorm, it was running on whatever HDTVs they have at the store (I think it was a samsung something), at 720P, so this isn't exactly scientific.
Agreed, theres no slowdown or stuttering on the playable version off the PS Store.Raekwon said:The Motorstorm demo at retail stores is NOT something anyone should base comparisons off.
I just downloaded the demo from the PlayStation Store and the framerate is impeccable. Very much improved from the rushed store unti versions.
Unless its the kiosk hardware.
Either way, very fun.
