!! REALLY, 360 better 720p or 1080p??

Hello! I got so many different answers and don't know which to take... I want best graphic, so 720p or 1080p?

1. 1080p graphic lag problem: dose it exist? how bad?

2. graphic difference: resolution's different of course, how about other details, light, texture, ect... some say the same some say not, so... (take some games for example?)

3. game native resolution: !! how can I find games' native resolution anyhow? 360 native is 720 right? up till now, what games totally are native above 720??!!

i need this, but over search online, i can't find a clear answer, so... yah, Thank u everyone!

Thank u everyone!

:)

 

30 fps vs 60 fps

Obviously 60fps is better. If Xbox 360 can play games natively at 720p aka Halo 4 is natively 720p on Xbox 360, Xbox 1 should be able to play games at 1080p 30 or 60fps, or 720p @ 60fps.

 

Cod ghosts ?

It will be better graphics than 360. Like the other user said, 360 version is most likely less than 720p (possibly 600p or something) upscaled to 720p. Xbox One is 720p, upscaled to 1080p. That means better resolution. But other than that, it will most likely
include other better graphical components. It will most likely have better anti aliasing, lighting, effects, textures...the whole nine yards.

Remember, the only reason they're keeping it natve 720p is to add in all those aforementioned, more important graphical components that really count towards making the game look better.

Also, let's not forget X1 has an awesome upscaler. It'll look very similar to native 1080p, I'm sure. Just look at B4.

 

Well,

1. The output scaling in the Xbox 360 is done on-the-fly, and as far as I know it does not cause any substantial lag.

2. Most games render natively for an output buffer with a resolution of 1280x720. There are variations however, with many games having been rendered at various custom resolutions for memory and performance reasons. They may not map directly to a standardized
output resolution. Examples of odd resolutions include early games such as Ridge Racer 6 (1440x810) and Project Gotham Racing 3 (1024x600), later games such as Halo 3 (1152x640), and some Xbox Live Arcade conversions of classic games such as Sonic Adventure
and Crazy Taxi (both at 888x666).

In some cases the rendering resolution is scaled in software to 1280x720 for overlay of HUD and frontend graphics, in some cases the original resolution is kept as-is. The result is then scaled to whatever the output is set to. Lighting, shading, and textures
are unaffected.

Games can however handle multiple output resolutions seperately and render in a resolution which matches the output. This was used in early games for rendering standard definition output at 640x480 or 853x480. The Xbox 360 Guide is also rendered at 853x480
regardless of output resolution.

3. There has only been a handful of retail titles for the Xbox 360 that render natively to 1920x1080. Some Xbox Live Arcade games do, especially conversions of classic 2D games where the original low resolution such as 320x224 is mapped into a 1920x1080
buffer to retain edge sharpness.

Some conversions of classic 3D games do run in 1920x1080 though, such as Daytona USA, OutRun Online Arcade (also supports 640x480 and 1024x768 natively), Banjo-Kazooie, and Banjo-Tooie. A few original Xbox Live Arcade games also render to 1920x1080, such
as Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 (but not Episode 2).

 

Thanx Zacabeb, u helped a lot. but now the most important question is:

!! how can I find games' native resolution anyhow?

!! what games are more than 720 (including not-yet-1080)? not XBLA, not 2D. i mean 3D games published by discs, like Ridge Racer 6, right?...... i heard that there're just a few, but i need to know the total list, it's important to me.

----thanx for help, greatful... all hail 360!

 

A partial list can be found at Beyond3D's forums (the Xbox 360 list is two posts down):

forum.beyond3d.com/showthread.php

Beside developers giving away their approach in post-mortem articles on Gamasutra and such, most of the work in figuring out the source resolution comes down to ladder counts to figure out how many visible source pixels are spread out across so many output
pixels. This can be rather difficult, especially in games that use multiple forms of anti-aliasing or lack hard edges to be used for reference.

So Beyond3D's list is probably the closest there is to a complete one, assuming that it's also correct.

 

thank u. i heard when higher-than-720 games are announced, there is always big news saying resolution's 1080 or 768... i saw the web and it's far not complete. i don't know if there's a complete list of higher-than-720 disc games...?

 

oh~ i just solve the question, thanks!
