I searched for both, I haven't seen ANYTHING since launch that speaks about 1080i whatsoever, I'd like some reputable links as well (hell, ANY links at all)
There's not much on the screen for racing games other than a HUD and some cars.
Snuh?
In any other game, it could be argued that there is nothing more than scenery and some characters.
I think soon, in racing games the environments will look almost EXACTLY like reality. Half of the racing experience is to be able to say "WOW! It's like I really am there!" Even more so now that developers are mapping REAL streets and layouts.
I think it will be GREAT when the trees you drive by are bumpmapped, so that the leaves look 3D and will cast realtime shadows ('ala HALO textures), where the streets are realtime textured to LOOK like they feel in the rumblepads. Where you could take a screenshot, and tell people it's real, and they will believe you. One of the biggest factors in a game is realism/believability (besides the actual story )
But I am really curious as to how good the games will really work when in HD resolutions. As soon as one comes out, I'll post some screenies.
Also, as I said in another post, I am REALLY glad some Developers are looking at the individual hardware specs, and tailoring the games accordingly. I really don't want to see cookie-cutter ports.
