MLB 13:The Show -- 720P vs 1080P .... Here we go again with this Conversation :)

[vcu9]

I am going to be recording my game play with the El Gato this year. With that Capture Card Device, you can only set the display settings on the PS-3 to 720p or 1080i.

I know the game says it is displayed best in 720p.

Is that 100% true in your guys estimations and experiences?

Thanks.

Yes, with all they have going on 1080p just isn't feasible on the hardware given. Expect 1080p native and 60fps on the PS4 though for sure as it is looking to be beast. This game is meant to be played at 720p.

It says it right on the game. Thats good enough for me and was so 2 years ago.

I highly doubt it. Graphics sell games, therefore game devs will keep creating games that run at 30 fps even on next gen consoles.

So I got a 1080p TV a few months ago. What are the downfalls to playing this game on 1080p?

I believe it's actually 540p interlaced when you try to force it to play at 1080p.

This was meant for The Show which indeed will be 60fps. And 30fps is awful. You only realize how awful it is when you constantly play games in 60fps. I honestly believe that after a year or two 60fps is going to be the main target. Devs aren't stupid. COD sacrifices basically everything for 30fps already. I'm not saying all games will but a good brunt of them are going to be 60fps. We already have a decent amount that are just not the main ones and that is totally because it is not feasible.

The PS4 will indeed make it feasible but obviously still left to the dev. There are some games that don't look too bad with motion blur and 30fps I will say that. But in the end 60fps kicks the living crap out of 30 every time. This isn't film. It is a game you are in direct control of and 60fps creates a smooth and immersive experience.

It can also mess with the timing of your play and the graphics are not the best.
Each TV is different and may correct this, but its best to play with the setting suggested by the Devs.
