You'll never guess what game will support 1080p...

PS3fanboy reports how Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is going to be displayed in 1080p where available. Why is this such a surprise? Because normally games based off of movies (based off of amusement park rides) hardly get any sort of beauty treatment.

They explain this by saying the game isn't that visually impressive. It looks good, but more like a 360 launch title than a second-gen 360 and semi-first-gen PS3 title. Check out the picture they used. Don't look at Jack -- look at the dude in the middle. Completely emotionless, like an N64 character.

Seriously, are you telling me that I will be able to travel with the Legendary Jack Sparrow to the Worlds End IN 1080P!!! Life does not get any better.

Bad-looking games make easy 1080p.
How many times has it been said?

CrazzyMan6208d ago

is lame dude. =)

p.s. good, that 1080p standart is mooving to ordinary games. :)

calderra6207d ago

Did I say those were bad-looking games in my comment?
I said, when a game looks like crap, 1080p is easy.

Good-looking game + 1080p would = better-looking game, this is true.
Bad-looking game + 1080p is like having an ugly date and cleaning your glasses- all you'll do is see the ugly a little better.

Now if you wanna debate the merits of wasting system power on 1080p when the developers could just imrove the core game, that's another story. This game, for example, would be much better if the developers made it in 420p and then bothered to bring the visuals up to even that standard by actually USING all that extra power instead of just flipping on 1080p since they're under-using the system so thoroughly.

HEHE true.. I thought it was a 1080p projector in the Theatre.. Showing off Words end i \n high def.. now that would have been sweet.. Kinda sad .. Jack your 1080p good job.. LOLL

BIadestarX6208d ago

This game is an example that 1080p <> Good game as some people are lead to believe.

Voice Actor Spotlight: Hellena Taylor

What’s better than a sexy, leggy, busty, bodacious, badass, British brunette Umbran witch? Well, not much, honestly. But the voice actress behind her is a very close second.

mario party 8 shouldnt have sold nearly as well as it did, that game was garbage compared to past itirrations(such as MP2)

Joey Gladstone5922d ago

I am honestly not trying to bash,
but even Halo fans admit that it did not quite live up to all the expectations.......and yet still sold like Hot Cakes.......

PCWorld.ca: 10 Worst Video Games of 2007

PCWorld.ca - Ted Kritsonis, Monday, December 10, 2007:

It's an unfortunate part of the video game business that a lot of what hits store shelves is marginally decent, mediocre or just downright horrible.

Dishonourable mentions go out to Soldier of Fortune: Payback, CSI, Far Cry Vengeance for the Wii, TMNT for the PSP or DS, Ghost Rider, Project Sylpheed, and 300 for the PSP.

And there's more where all those came from, but the 10 in this list make all of those look a little bit better this year...

gamesR4fun5975d ago

I agree with all of them other than Lair stil think that its the most underrated game of all time...

Kulupoo5975d ago

well having analog control will def move up lair in its value for me...
like the u-turn for dragon didn't really pick up for me... some time i need to jab my controller upward 3-4 times to get it right...

godofthunder105974d ago

i agree with every game he listed including lair.ps3 fans just want admit that lair was a bad game.the reason that they want admit it is because it's a sony exclusive.if it was a 360 exclusive all the ps3 fans would never let the 360 fans live it down.
i don't have a ps3 and i'm not buying one but my friend has one and i played it and it was one of the worse games that i played.i admit that the ps3 have some good games but lair isn't one of them and it's about time that ps3 fans admit it instead of saying that every exclusive game on the ps3 is great.

KidMakeshift5975d ago (Edited 5975d ago )

I like Tenchu Z. There's way worse games out there (look at the wii library)

Kulupoo5974d ago

woot, techu z FTW? I also like that game for like 10 hours (till it gets really repetitive ...
and I do agree with you... alot of wii games does sucks...
heatseeker, NBA live 08, need for speed, etc etc.... is like a brand new game with last gen graphic and really lame control! yay?....
wii needs to work on its thrid party relationship, they got great games, but they almost all come from Nintendo or capcom.

random note: SFII on wii plz with a good control !

Prismo_Fillusion5975d ago

This is by far the worst video game that has ever existed.
The worst ten games of 2007 are all on the Wii.

I own a Wii and about 10ish games for it (just so no one thinks this is a fanboy comment).

If this list was the worst 10 games of 2007 that actually tried to be good, it might have an ounce of credit.

v1c1ous5975d ago

the majority consist of movie based games

rootEXT5974d ago

I bought the infamous lair yesterday because of the prize drop, i approached the game with open mind and low expectations. I LIKE LAIR!!!! its different

Lair 8/10 for me
