E3 2010: Wait, What? Gran Turismo 5's 3D Mode Is 1080p Too?

PushSquare: "Bonkers. Truly, truly bonkers. With most games this generation unable to stick to 60 frames per second and stuggling to meet 720p -- Gran Turismo 5 is a technical marvel hitting 60fps constantly, and reaching the dizzying heights of 1080p. But there's more. As per a video interview with GameTrailers, SCEA's Chris Hinojosa-Miranda confirms that the 3D version of Gran Turismo 5 will also stick to 1080p screen resolution."

[GWAVE]

Yet Turn 10 says Forza 4's graphics will be better than this. Lulz.

[saint_john_paul_ii]

i am really getting annoyed at Turn 10's bull***t. and its not because of their S**t talking, but showing off fake crap that will eventually not look good in-game, just like what happened with Forza 3.

[Information Minister]

Oh come on, you have to admit that Ferrari in their presentation looked gorgeous. You know... The one that was just standing there, with no motion, with no physics or AI calculations going on, just sitting in a 2D background...

... hhhhmmmmm... Never mind.

[Redrum059]

Dan Greenwalt shouldn't have been throwing the definitive word around in every sentence.
Now he has to eat his words in shame, and definitive is a big ass word lol.

[SillySundae]

The car model inspection "gameplay" also has the same "predictive input" technology as the STAR WARS game.
The 360 / Kinect anticipates your moves and executes them.

[SynGamer]

I don't care what anyone says, Polyphony Digital absolutely nails lighting in GT5. Playing Forza 3 right now just feels like playing with plastic cars...nothing looks real.

I honestly don't see Forza 4 looking better than GT5. GT5 has been in development for 5+ years, that's what has enabled them to make the game look so good. To tweak ever little setting and calculation... *drools*

[Leathersoup]

Do you mean that they have the guy repeat the same silly demo to the press afterward? I don't think so.

[BakedGoods]

Sony's own presentation says the 3D SDK only supports [email protected] and [email protected]

[inveni0]

They don't say that the 3D is 60fps at 1080p, do they? They just say that it's 1080p.

[KILLERAPP]

Is the developers Job to hype there product, you will never hear any developer say our game looks good but not uncharted good, they would get fired…

[UltimateIdiot911]

It's okay to hype as long as they can deliver otherwise, they better be prepare to see their future sales suffer.

[RageAgainstTheMShine]

if that SCEA associate producer lied too in public ... he will be fired too

[Hanif-876]

Gran Turismo 5 will be a revolution in gaming!

[sikbeta]

Totally, This Game is BEAST!!!

Gran Turismo 5 = The Definitive Driving Simulator

[callahan09]

What the hell is going on with N4G lately. Being positive or defending against negative comments about PS3 gets you nothing but debubbled and disagrees the past 2 days. You have more disagrees than agree for saying GT5 is the definite driving simulator? Really? It's a fact. Opinion literally doesn't even enter into it. The closest competition has half as many cars in the game, half as many cars in a race at a time, no night-time racing, no NASCAR, no WRC, no head-tracking, no 3D support... And there's even more features and qualities about GT5 that put it ahead of the competition besides just that stuff. It is factually and objectively the definite game of its genre.

[secksi-killer]

so you would prefer to the days when idiots loke gwave had 10 bubbles for nothing but bashing the 360, and talking like his ps3 was his girlfriend?? just look at his first comment

i prefer this new bubble system, and i love seeing the idiotic fanturds with no bubbles

on-topic gt5 is incredible! truly stunning, and for me the confirmed launch date was one of the highlights of an otherwise crap E3

[fedex682]

[raztad]

So far I know GT5 runs at 1280x1080 upscaled horizontal res to 1920, thats not full 1080p. Still I find UN-BELIEVABLE they can keep such resolution natively while at the same time 60fps. Wow. I dont know, it's just unbelievable. I need more confirmation.

[Sunny_D]

That was GT5: Prologue. They have done full 1080p for the full game this time around.

[raztad]

@sunnyd

Bro, I'll tell you something. I'm not a racing sim fan, not at all BUT if GT5 is actually 1920x1080 during races (not Replays) I'll get this game just for the sake of an eyegasm, and to support such an EPIC achievement.

[IHateYouFanboys]

@suunyd:

no, they havent. GT5, the full release, is still upscaled 1080p.

also, IF GT5 does 1080p in 3D, it will run at 24fps as per the PS3s 3D specifications. that would be absolutely horrible for any game, let alone a driving simulator. knowing PD, they will not do that.

[ico92]

Turn 10 say alot of things, but its ok i like seeing insecure devs like that reduced to faboyism its kinda amusing

[The Wood]

have T10 started talking sh!t ....AGAIN

[KILLERAPP]

Nice!

[Al Bundy]

3D and 1080P at the same time is only possible on the PS3.

[wazzim]

I can't wait to see my jaw drop on the floor when starting this game in November =)

[peeps]

Just goes to show what can be done!

[PS360PCROCKS]

Ok wait hopefully someone will answer this and not just spam the disagree button. Isn't GT5 actually like 1200x1080? Than upscaled and video replays are native 1080p?

edit:: Ok thanks. Yeah I know about the garage and the replays apparently have upped AA and effects and lighting which is standard for racing games. Even at 1200/1080 that's impressive as hell. I guess taking my limited knowledge into account it's better to have 1080p vertical lines than 1920 horizontal. Becasue the vertical will help the image look more smooth. Maybe I'm dumb I dunno.

[BlackKnight]

Last I heard, that's the case. Some claim when GT5 ships it will be 1920x1080. I haven't seen any articles or links to suggest that though. Have to wait to see what is discovered this November. Only things that I know are 1080P for sure is the garage and possibly replays (though I think replays are still 1200x1080P but run at 30FPS with a big jump in graphics from normal gameplay)

[DigitalAnalog]

GT5 prologue is 1200 x 1080. Not so sure if that's the same resolution on GT5.

-End statement

[Fishy Fingers]

In the video the Producer says "everything is 1080p, the 3D is 1080p"... Sounds like it will be 1080p to me.

[Dude420]

It was stated that for GT5, the game will be 1200x1080 while playing, however, the garage to view the cars will be in 1080p.

[PS360PCROCKS]

Hmm confusion abound. I wonder when we'll get clarification on the true resolution. Either way it's impressive what they've done.

edit:: Really??? Wow that's amazing!! How awesome, I am going to be so excited to have this FULL HD game for my TV. God this is going to look incredible! Thank you. Btw everyone gets bubs for being helpful, I appreciate it.

[Sunny_D]

I believe it was for GT5: Prologue. I read an article on GTPlanet where PD said that they reached full 1080p for the full release.

[blasian]

i wonder how much of the blu-ray is being used. I wouldnt be surprised if they filled that bad boy up.

[UltimateIdiot911]

Almost the whole thing.

http://www.gtplanet.net/mor...

[blasian]

Wow synchronize real time with the ingame time of the day. That is amazing.

[IHateYouFanboys]

@blasian,

thats nothing special - Metropolis Street Racer did that waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back on the Dreamcast. fun fact: MSR is the prequel to Project Gotham Racing. it even went a step further - the time of day in the race would be whatever the real time of day is in the country that the track your racing is located in.

[bageara]

a beast i tell you!:)

[cobraagent]

these gt5 news will make my head explode!!!!

[red2tango]

I guess Sony has forced me to consider a 3DTV purchase sometime this year.

[karl]

after E3 a lot a ppl has change his mind...

i dontt know what i will do with my money or how im gonna save that much
but im definitely getting botch MOVE and a 3Dtv

[You Noob]

Superstardust in 3D is 1080p also xD

[The Wood]

are ANAL...Nobody can beat how anal they are....i bet they even dream about optimising and have nightmares about jaggies

[xX-PEIN-Xx]

lol +bubbles for you sir

[DigitalAnalog]

With MLAA. For sure they'd implement that.

WITH GT6!

-End statement

[midgard229]

"ps3,It only does epicness"

[Pwee]

Just need 3DTV nowwwww!

[Digital-_-Smoke]

even a 5970 + i7 920 can't pull this off lol

[waterboy]

specs and they are newer and cost more than ps3 and its hardware that they can just do more than ps3s rsx cell combo, and were finding out now thats just not the case, when cell and rsx work together CORRECTLY the term future proof really comes into play

oh yeah and not to mention blue ray

[waterboy]

4 pc fans, its the truth that the overwhelming pc gaming community will never come to admit doesnt matter though this truth is gonna stay true

oh yeah and dont try that garbage that so many pc fans do, "im not even a pc fan, infact i hate pc fan, and i say that pc can do so and so and ps3 cant do so and so" im already on ya

[freshPiMP91]

I rarely comment cuz I find the console wars hilarious and love readin them...but REALLY?!??! REALLY?!??! ARE YOU HONESTLY SAYING THAT THE PS3+RSX ARE MORE POWERFUL TOGETHER THAN THE MOST TWO POWERFUL PROCESSOR/GRAPHICS CARD COMBO??!????

wooooooow...i knew this site had alot of fanboys but this is the funniest thing ive read in a loooong time. u do realize that the hardware in the ps3 is from AT LEAST 2005 ( not 06 cuz they wuldnt make it months before they release it) and although I know for a fact my uncharted 2 looks shittons (new word) better than anythin on my 360 so far, COME ON!!! dont say things like that man...makes me wanna quit this site. stupid ass people man...

[RagTagBnd445]

I can perfectly see a 5970 + I7 920 doing this.

[kanetheking]

.

[CryofSilence]

The cell still easily out-benchmarks the six core i9 (I can't find the article). That is the key difference. The RSX just facilitates the process. Also, the 920 is way overrated. It was intended to be a server processor.

[STONEY4]

And yet someone with a PC that isn't even as powerful as a 5970 + 17 920 can pull this off. Tell me when a PS3 can do this:

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

And this one is on an 8800GTX

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[No FanS Land]

Photorealism is at its peak! (Seriously, the PS3 IS really futureproof)

I mean Wow!

[jonboi24]

If all this is coming with GT5, what the fuck are they going to do with GT6? I fear to think about it because I don't want my head to explode.

[NYPunkster]

All I have to contribute to this is HOLY SH*T. I don't see myself moving for the Sony's platform anytime soon. F**k the platform it's all about the quality of the games and for right now Sony has them.

[kmanmx]

The game looks stunning and i can not wait for it.

However, there are 2 solutions to why it can do 3D in 1080p.

The first one being it simply halves to 30fps whilst remaining 1080p resoltion. The second one being, 720p and 1080p technically relate to the vertical resolution. So yes, 1200x1080 can still be called 1080p. Tv's with resolutions such as 854x720 are allowed to be sold as HD ready, because the 720p vertical resolution remains. It's frowned upon and it sucks, but it is true.

[Biggest]

You should start your own game development studio. Either that or shut the hell up.

[Ju]

That comment is soo out of place. knabnx is right.

[waterboy]

hes wrong

[NYPunkster]

Two more reasons why it can? Did we need more besides the developer saying that it could?

Where on the gaming gods beautiful green earth does it say it cuts fps in half? To make a claim of 60fps at 1080p resolution and have it not be true is a risk that I think GT5 developers are willing to risk when they know we could easily verify their claim.

[STONEY4]

It's common sense that 3D cuts framerate in half since it's rendering the same scene twice.

[jay2]

3rd party Devs have no excusive anymore. Get learning OpenGL and PS3's internal structure guys.

[yewles1]

I hope the final game is full 1920 x 1080p in 2D mode, and 960 x 1080p in 3D mode...

[Ju]

I would rather think it's the same resolution, but 30fps instead of 60.

[fishd]

Impossible,I'am having a hard time believing this,but hey if there is someone who can pull it off,that would be PD,but I am still skeptical

[InFAMOUS1]

How is it impossible? I mean seriously, if you think about it, there are games that run 1080p at 60fps soooo its clearly possible. Not to mention the game has been in dev for 5 years and is being made by the best racing developer in the world! PD is the definition of POSSIBLE!

[waterboy]

by all that crap pc fans have brainwashed people to believe about hardware and such, if ps3 worked like 360 and pc then this wouldnt be possible, but since ps3 workds a whole lot different the latter share of what ps3 is capable of is not yet been shown so yes this is not even reached whats possible with ps3
