no 1080p resolution !!!

Really guys is it that hard to just think a bit before posting things like that?



look at the bottom right corner of the photo... What does it say? "DISPLAY COPY ONLY"



No the game is not shipping yet...

Talk about being a fanboy. Just because most PS3 games require multiple gigs of harddrive space doesnt mean that this should be acceptable. You shouldnt have to buy another harddrive just so you can play the games you want to play and it amazes me how many of you guys are willing to bend over and take it from Sony. The 360 has its own disadvantages but at least most 360 owners I know dont defend Microsoft when they feel they are being screwed. Plus, its not like they didnt have enough disk space so why is the game only running at 720P?

So what if MGS4 will not be at 1080p? As long as it is not only interlaced, 720p is fine. As for the uses of the Hard Drive. I do not care for that. We are not dealing with a PC, this is a console. I should be able to just put that game in and not have to install anything. Also, I do not see why you would need to install anything to make the game run faster. The PS3 should be able to run any game just fine with out that. I have a PS3 and X-Box 360, and I have never had to install anything on the Hard Drive on the 360. Mass Effect should have been the one that needed that. And GTA4 is a other game, but it did not need to install anything on the PS3.

yeah it did. GTAIV had to do an install onto the harddrive for the PS3 version. i believe its around 3.96 GB.

I'm actually surprised at how many people care so much about 1080p. 720p is also fine, as long as the games fine. I personally don't even have an HDTV yet (only 15 years old, so don't flame), ut my friend does. I've played PS3 at his house alot, and it made almost no difference whatsoever. I tried to watch Spiderman3 in HD 1080p and guess what? It looks the same as on my 1998 Standard Definition Tv, atleast to me and my brother. As for the install, I'm starting to get annoyed at the whole concept of them. They don't usually seem to make a noticable difference, yet they're still mandatory. I really wish dev's stop using them, even though I have an 80gig.

LESS QQ'ing

MORE PEWPEW'ing



You probably haven't been keeping up with this game, but it was reported that they actually ran out of space. Unless I'm mistaken, of course.

I haz a 320GB HDD...

HD movies take up as much space.

Quit yer crying and suck it up, every PS3 has a 20GB HDD.

ur dumb. really really dumb.



theres limitations to hardware incase you didnt know you little boy. GT5 doest have any destructability involved. Crysis demo runs well on the lowest res on my machine. does that mean i should be disappointed because of my laptop hardware limiltions???



i doubted not many ppl would be interested in my belongings but i guess i have to say so just to shut up some fanboys themselves. I HAVE A 720p/1080i 27" screen! make sense now? 1080p personally doesnt mean jack to me.

Does it matter?



Only 720p = Big deal. It's still HD, and there's hardly any difference in 720p and 1080i/p. Get off of HD's ***** already.



The 4gb install = If you have a 40, 60, or 80gb, this shouldn't be a problem at all. And it probably won't even be mandatory. Just because it's a display copy doesn't mean *****. The game has gone GOLD which means it is DONE. So this is final.

Im a computer technician, not that it matters since what im going to say, most people already know. If a PC ran most its data off the CD rather then HDD, we wouldnt have the games we do today. Same with PS3, its just way more faster to stream data off the HDD then the cd drive. The reason 360 avoids this so much is because not all their models have HDDs (arcade versions) so some devs avoid it (ex: GTA4). Im sure most of you know it, I only wanted to explain it to the people who dont. But again, its not a bad thing.

CAN I REMIND YOUR DUMBASS THAT ASSASINS CREED took 4 god damn years in the making and all the bloody focused on was the damn graphics..that game..according to gameplay was the *****tiest games i have played compared to any other game of same genre..like honeslty.graphics were great..but no frikin gameplay..after 30 mins ud be bored *****less of that game...OHHH GREAT OMG OMG OMG..my games running at 1080p ..WTFFF like seriously dude..i dont give a crap if my games is in pixels or blocks...***** just make it good

So, what is the difference between 720 and 1080 resolution? Cuz I just bought my first HDTV and am amazed at the detail displayed in games like GTAIV, what does 1080 add to the experience?



Oh, and this mandatory install is all well and good, and you can say to buy another harddrive to add on, but I have a Seagate 250GB external HDD to store movies, music etc on and the PS3 doesn't recognise it. Why should I have to go out and buy another harddrive just to install the games I wanna play? It should be an option, that way if you really don't have the space it's not going to affect you and if you do then you may see a marginal improvement, but I got pissed off at this with GT5, I mean, 6GB is installed off the disc (mandatory) whereas the download on PSN is only 1.9GB. Now where the sodding hell did that extra 4GB come from?



Answers on a postcard please.

I own both a 60" and 40" tv and I have to say the visual difference between 1080p and 720 is not so apparent on the 40", however it is definitely noticeable on the 60". For this reason I can appreciate why some people (myself included) will be disappointed with the lack of 1080p.



100% agree with the install issues.
