MGS4 downgraded?

What the hell happened?

The screen caps are 1080p so i'm guessing sony has forced konami to get the game running at 1080p at the cost of making it look like a bad pc game.

FFS this 1080p shit is starting to piss me off.

GOW @ 720p to illustrate why 1080p for games is a bad thing.

Massive difference in shader/surface detail.

Yeah, doesn't look as nice a last year's TGS trailer.Here's the new trailer

Here's another screen that you missed in 720p.

WOW lots of framerate issues, and the in game animation needs work. Most definately downgraded.

The animation and shadowing looked amazing in that demo. Would like to see a high def version.

Talez/lestat: Is the PS3 generating everything in 1080p and downscaling to the appropriate res like the 360 does with 720p, or does it just output at whatever the software was made at?

lestat · Post by **lestat** » 22 Sep 2006 03:21 pm

The ps3 is meant to have a scaler chip like the 360, so if a game is designed for 1080p it would be rendering at 1080p internally and then downscaling out to 720p.

But possibly what some developers may do if you select 720p output, they would just force the game to render internally at 720p. I know some 360 games do this if you select 480p as a resolution for instance. Forcing a lower resolution internal render would most probably help with framerate issues too, if it was chugging at 1080p.

Unfair to compare a PS2 game to a 360 game...MGS4 should have been made for PS3.

You and I both know that MGS4 is a system seller.

Trailer looks amazing despite technical issues. With a year until release I'm not concerned that what we see now won't be signifncantly improved upon.

MGS3 still needs to be played at my house. Just need to finish off a couple of games then I can settle down and focus on it. Maybe I should wait a bit longer and play Subsistence.

Pep, seriously, I reckon youre a pretty good alround guy, but seriously, and I mean this in the best possible way, but WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU!? GO AND PLAY MGS3 RIGHT NOW FFS! ITS THE BEST GAME ON THE PS2 BY A FUCKING MILE. NOTHING ELSE COMES CLOSE, STOP WHATEVER YOURE PLAYING NOW AND PLAY MGS3.

Just watched the trailer - awesome as per usual. I half expected Vulcan Raven at the end. Also loved Snake getting shat on

Pat · Post by **Pat** » 22 Sep 2006 06:31 pm

Yes, I was definitely expecting to hear his gun revving up in the final scene.

I'm still very interested to see who the young Snake is. Solid Snake or another???? THE QUESTIONS ARE TOO MUCH!

Just watched the trailer, and the MGSPO trailer.

The screens are dissapointing up there but the trailer is just AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWESOME I reckon, so many awesome moments and I loved the music, I think if the texture work was improved then it would start looking again like the best game out there cos everything else is pretty tops and 1080P sure does give nice IQ.

The MGS PO trailer on the other hand, IS FUCKING AMAZING... Like just WOW, Cannot wait to get my hands on this game, completely blown away by EVERYTHING in the trailer, PSP killer app for sure.
