Diablo III coming to Xbox 360?

[Azimuth]

10 GAMES? Dude, almost all of my xbox games support full 1080p resolutions. In fact, probably almost 90% - 95% of all xbox games support full 1080p.

No. The vast majority of Xbox (and PS3) games upscale to 1080p from 720p.

Agreed. Upscaling is not the same as pure/true 1080p. There is a big difference between the two.

Having said that, of course, the difference between 720p and 1080p on anything smaller than a 52" screen is pretty much indiscernible.

any examples that actually use full HD?

 

[SpoOkie]

Super Stardust HD and Wipeout HD. SSHD is the only I know of that runs at 60fps.

 

[Damienalexi]

what about Bioshock or Sacred 2?

 

[SpoOkie]

720p games, that would then be upscaled.

 

[Damienalexi]

ok. Ive got a game that came preloaded on my xbox ... Hexic HD or something like that. hehe

No, not running at a screens native resolution will always result in a substantial loss in quality. However, if you never see how it should look, you probably wouldn't notice.

Its like TV vs HDTV, you probably didn't care for HDTV, until you'd seen it in person.

Dude, I'm not that naive. There's an enormous difference between an SDTV and an HDTV. But you'd have to be a complete media snob to discern between 720p and 1080p on anything smaller than a 52" TV. Try it and see.

Blizzard will not release the game to consoles if they have to "dumb down" their games in anyway. I hiiiighly doubt they would ever compromise the gameplay or aspects of story telling just to make more profit. And this was also mentioned at blizzcon!

I get to make direct side by side comparison's every day as I have both a high end gaming PC (1920x1200) and an Xbox 360 (1280x720 or less). Its not being snobby, I just get to see them side by side and I stand by what I said originally, that the difference is substantial.

More on topic though, I doubt tuning down the resolution and other graphics options is the major deciding factor for Blizzard. I think a bigger factor is Diablo III's tight integration into Battle.Net and retuning of the controls and interface. The integration into Battle.Net is a particularly tricky one.
