Hi all,
I was just wondering what you all thought of the quality of the average XBOX 360 game on a large screen.
I've got a 100" 720p screen, and it certainly doesn't exactly do the 360 any favours. Jaggies (aliasing) are obviously more visible, as is the fact that the games are obviously not putting out 720p images, rather the 360 is just upscaling them to 720p.
Secondly, due to the above fact about most games less than 720p native res., would a 1080p PJ (all other things being equal) give no increase in perceived quality? I suppose the 360 would then upscale to the PJs native res. and therefore if the 360 is good at this jaggies would be less prominent. But a low res. texture is a low res. texture at the end of the day.
Don't get me wrong, a bigger screen is still way more immersive, but sometimes it's just like, wow, this image isn't incredible. Fifa 09 is what got me noticing this the most, as you can barely read the names on the strips in the arena. However, I do believe that Fifa is a particularly bad offender as far as GFX are concerned.
Any opinions would be interesting,
H
P.S. I assume that this is the correct forum for a post of this nature.
