Too early to say if Resistance 2 will run at 1080p

Responding to questions on the official PlayStation Blog, Insomniac Games Community Relations Manager James Stevenson has refused to rule out the possibility of Resistance 2 running at 1080p video resolution and 60 frames per second.

"Way too early to say, this sort of thing happens around optimization," explained Stevenson.

To me 60 frames per second is more important than 1080p. Especially in FPS's and racing games.

[LSDARBY]

Yeah but if they can get both then WOW.

[anh_duong]

agreed, effects and framerate better >> 1080p but if anyone can deliver all the aforementioned then insomniac can.. ps3 owes insomniac more than any other publisher

[Tarasque]

60fps is not a big deal. What is a big is not allowing dropped frames. If you can get a constant 35-40 fps with no drops at all, i would be satisfied with that. I would rather have 40fps with 1080p than to have 60fps with 720p. But either way i will be happy =). Just as long as there isnt any drops in fps everything will be ok.

[decapitator]

Jenzo beat me to it. I came here to say the exact same thing. More can be achieved at 720P with a solid 30FPS than the other.

[InMyOpinion]

Both would be bliss =)

[Lifendz]

good post. Bubbles.

[masterg]

A game that never goes under 30fps @ 720p is perfect.
People seem to think 30fps is not good enough.
30 is all you need as long as it never drops, which a lot of games do, and therefor made people think 30fps is not enough.

[fenderputty]

was a solid 30 FPS the whole game. It never dipped below that though. As long as they can do that again, I don't really care.

[sonarus]

All i want is confirmation that trailer was real time. The way the shadows moved lead me to believe it is real time. Insomniac did say all their games after ratchet would run at 60fps and its probably something they will achieve, i don't really care for 1080p anyway. It will prob jst be upscaled

[killer_trap]

well it's hard and only a few have managed 1080P at 60fps but i have faith in insomniac. and even if they didn't do it, i wouldn't be disappointed.

and please don't give the guy above me any second of your time and replay to his post.

edit: the guy above me with the first post ;-)

[thereapersson]

Personally, 720p is fine so long as they max out what is happening on screen and if they are going for 720p, I think they should shoot for 60fps. I think it would be a good evolution considering how smooth R1 ran despite being locked steady at 30fps.

[KingME]

The PS3 is touted as a 1080p machine. I feel that this title as with any title should be released at 1080p. If for no other reason, so that people with tvs that don't support 720p at least get to play the game at 1080i.

The previous version of this game blew people with non-720p TV off by not releasing a patch to fix this. I see it this way, I am not going out an buying a 2000 TV so that I can play a $60 game.

Especially when the game should be 1080p to start with.

[BlackIceJoe]

If any one can get both 60FPS and 1080P on a game Insomniac can. I really would love to see them add these features to Resistance 2. They are not but would be a plus.

[yanikins111]

Insomniac, just do your thing.

[rootEXT]

I'm happy that this game runs on 60fps, but if anybody can do it INSOMNIAC can. They have proven that they are quality developers

GO INSOMNIAC!!!

[TheHater]

I think I will prefer 60FPS over 1080P :) My TV only runs up too 720P :)
A better frame rate is better any day of the week

[Iamback]

Its honest answer, not even they know that, and its true. What do you people want them to say "Yes" and than not deliver? This way if they do deliver people will be happy, case closed.

[thor]

Considering lots of people don't have 1080p televisions, and most people can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p (okay with games it's slightly different than with films and you can see the difference more but still) I would prefer more detailed graphics over either 1080p or 60fps any day. If the textures look like $hit at a low res, making it higher res will probably make them look worse.

[BilI Gates]

I'll take 60 fps over 1080p any day.

Insomniac if you're reading this I just want you to know that I love you and please don't sacrifice 60 fps for 1080p. Just please.

[gnothe1]

theres so many asking for 1080p, how many guys in here even have a 1080p HDTV. I do 60 1080p. but how many other. I would rather have a good performing game than super hype stats.

[thereapersson]

Has a damn good 1080p picture, and does 1080/24p for Blu-Ray films as well.

Though I agree that there are a lot more people out there that haven't made the jump to 1080p quite yet, as it is becoming the standard on many larger sets 42" and up we will see many more consumers making the jump to 1080p in the next year or so. I think even more so because Blu-Ray has won the HD disc format war, and there are a lot of consumers who don't spend every waking hour on the internet debating the evolution of HD. They will just want what they see is the best resolution on the market: 1080p.

[SL1M DADDY]

And they will not let any of us down. Looking back at theur last two PS3 titles, you can't go wrong playing any one of their games and this one will be bigger, better and even more entertaining. They never step back, but they have always made leaps and bounds forward.

[jobboy]

framerate for the leading aim!!!

[KLEPTOMANIAC]

I personally think they will stick with their original solid 720p/30fps setup from the original title. As when you get to 1080p material, there's over twice as many pixels as 720p. That means the graphics processing that would have gone to aspects such as lighting, effects or antialiasing, it's now pushing pixels.
There are games out there that go for bigger numbers, only to suffer framerate dips when the action gets too much, or too many things on screen. And who can honestly say that in a massive 40 player battle in an all out war a war of frags and explosive gunfire on resistance, did the framerate drop. ive played over 500 games and the game has never skipped a beat. i would hate to see one of the most anticipated games of 08 to suffer from framerate jutters. dont change something if it works perfectly.

[jkhan]

Well we won't see 60 fps in multiplayer that is for sure. But we may see 60 fps in singleplayer as it isn't coop, and they have the separate campaign for coop, so they might pull this one off;)

[thor]

They were saying before about something called a "rocket test" where they get everyone in one room to fire a rocket at the same time and make sure the framerate doesn't stutter. That's why it never did in R1 ;)

[OoLegendoO]

I think it will be 720p 60 FPS like in Ratchet.

[jkhan]

Well we all know if anyone can pull this one of, its going to be insomniac. They are brilliant in what they do and I am pretty much hopefully they will be able to do it. Although its still a far fetch statement considering the sheer amount of this happening on screen at one time, plus you put in 150 feet tall bosses. I saw we are in for another technical achievement from insomniac:P

[jones smokey]

i dont have a hd tv so i dont care, lol....just relase the game quick so i can play it,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pp]

who gives a crap i'm waiting for gears of war 2

[butterfinger]

You're a kunt.

[FLOPbox 360]

Good for you. I'll be playing Resistnace 2, MGS4 and Killzone2 (and way more)

Stop trolling with your multiple accounts. It's so obvious your jealous and want this game LMAO.

[Killjoy3000]

If it runs at 60 frames then who's to complain? 720p is good enough.

[Fighter]

Those 1080P 60fps games will probably arrive in a few years from now when Sony makes the Cell fully opened. right now I think they just use a bit of the power the chip but the games are still great.

Resistance 2 is totally going to kick ass whether it's in 720P or 108P.

[Vip3r]

I'd much rather have 60fps than 1080p.

/parrot.

[xg-ei8ht]

Look guys 1080p is nice and all.

But even gt5p isn't full 1080p.

Its upscaled. It's really 1280x1080p then upscaled.

Still looks amazing though.

Resistance might be the same rez then upscaled or could be 720p.

At either resolution it'll look sweet.

[tomfoolery]

You retarded Sony boys just don't get it huh?!!

Gears of War 2 is going to be pure BLISS to all REAL gamers
(just like pp stated.......but all you little Sony wussies could do is
blindly disagree).

When are you dumbfvcks ever going to get a grip on reality?
The PS3 has failed in a unified online service,lost a ton of great exclusives,has weaker versions of multi plat games,worn out franchises,etc etc etc.

It shouldn't even be a QUESTION,if a game(Resistance 2) is or isn't going to run at 1080p.

Sony said they ALL would.

You Sony degenerates bought into a lie and you know it.
And to now come into these threads PROTECTING Sonys PS3 Blu gameless player makes you just plain out stupid,
and just as big of liars as Sony is.

I loathe the whole clueless lot of you.
I pray I never meet any of you numbnuts in person.
If I have,hopefully I ignored you,ridiculed you publicly,or
beat the sh1t out of you and left ya where I found you.

heh heh
