Kameo: SDTV vs HDTV comparison picture

[MadFerIt]

Well I think if you have a high-end CRT that happens to have no HDTV you shouldn't be so bloody worried.. The games WILL LOOK GREAT!

HDTV is better, there's no doubt about that. However it's foolish to think that Next-Gen games will look current-gen on a non-hdtv set. That's bull****.

And not trying to insult the guy who took those pics but.. Something about those 720p screens does not look right. Maybe it's just the fault of the camera I don't know.

I don't quite get the point of this, you can see the difference in HD by simple tuning between and HD and SD channel on a TV....it makes a massive difference especially when you're on big screen TVs.

[DeadOnArrival]

Are you sure that's PGR3? It just doesn't look right...

Hmm, looks like the difference is significant like they say. But no more than the difference between standard and HD has always been...

yes its real, sadly.... :x

notice the xbox 360 advertisement in the back of the image... :laugh:

[Noveed]

PGR looks next gen on current TVs, but it looks bodged up if ya get what a mean. with hd-tv it looks almost real and not bodged.

***sorry if i sound like i chav, im a bit knackered and im going to bed now***

[Alpha2004]

that looks like crap on sdtv.

[Epimetheus]

MS just lost some customers. :no:

[Kerm]

Here is PGR on SDTV.  Quality to me is really tone down.

If i bought the Xbox360 and PGR3 and it looked like that i would take it straight back to be honest.

I'm hoping it wont.

[notuptome2004]

those are PGR1 screenshots PGR3 looks way better .

[noping]

This is really stupid.

The only different between HTDV and SDTV is resolution. 480i vs 1080i for example.

So why on earth would there be visual quality difference? Sure the picture would have more detail in HDTV, better resolution, but the QUALITY (texture, effects, blur, animation, etc) should be the exact same.

If the graphics look crap in SD, that means they're crap in HD aswell, maybe HD is hidding it. Similerly, if the graphics are good in HD, then they should be GOOD in SD as well.

For Example running HL2 on highest setting on 800x600 vs 1600x1200, you see more detail on the latter, but the Quality should be the same.

[Ji@nBing]

wow, looks like im not going to buy an xbox 360, i cant afford to shell out 2000 for a hdtv just so i can play games.

You're an idiot. The PS3 will have this "problem" too. Are you really surprised that it will look better on HDTV? Kind of a no brainer, really. I don't understand why so many people are freaking out.

you are correct for the most part but with HD the texures cna look higehr REZ cause it is running higehr REZ and a few more detials can comeout . while yes the textures can eb the same and otehr effects they will be a loss in image clarity it is kinda like using a Xbox on composite video connection compared to S-video the S-video connects shows mroe detials in texures.

[yankee lion]

Wow. That really does look like a recent XBOX game.

[Pyroteknikz]

Looks like I'm going to get a HDTV from Samsung from Rent to Own(lol). But don't HDTV's need an HD source?

Exactly, it?s like getting ****ed at your cable company cause your SDTV doesn?t display your TV programs as well as your friends HDTV.

I don?t get why everyone is now noticing their old TV don?t look as good as an HDTV.

[dnast]

Hmmm....something's fishy about the SDTV PGR3 pics. The cars don't even have reflections. :rolleyes:

The Xbox 360 will be the HD source.

[OrangeSoul]

well u know now why Nintendo said its graphics wont look much diff than PS3 or Xbox 360, they were talking about standard tv, not HDTV

[Aids]

Bandwith exceeded. On photobucket.

<3 my hdtvs.

Misconception. The 360 IS an HD source. You're thinking of HD television, which does require either an ATSC tuner (aka hdtv decoding tuner) or an HD box (which includes the decoder). But that's just tv, any other HD devices will work as long as you have the supported cables (xbox360 is so far component for HD modes).

[Detroit]

I love this, i am so lucky i have an hdtv

[Evolution]

I don't believe those non-HDTV screenshots. Those looks at least 4x worse than running Burnout for XBOX on my Widescreen non-HDTV screen.

[P!P]

Those PGR screens cannot be right. Looks like it's running on a PS or N64. Anyway, I played COD2 and Kameo on a demo machine today and COD2 looked awesome. Kameo looked okay but I don't know I expected more for that game. Although I never played it, only the beginning scenes.

[micro]

dont get ****ed off because M$ slanted the weight over to the HD side, that was their mistake. To be perfectly honest, the xbox 360 isnt that much of a JUMP over the xbox, nothing near calling next gen, and for the RECORD I OWN A XBOX not a ps2.. Im sure ps3 will have the same problem but then again, its not comming out next week is it?

When it all comes down to the wire, my computer will own this 360 3x over, thats where the "Next Gen" is..

ps1 to ps2 = OMG stunning worth every penny....

xbox over ps2 = bragging rights but ps2 had games hands down.

ps2 to ps3 = we dont know yet...

xbox to xbox 360 = 20% improvement = not worth 300.00 and FOR DAMN SURE NOT WORTH A 2000.00 DOLLAR TV INVESTMENT!

What about viewing your favorite shows in HD? Is that worth it?
