Why so few games in 1080p?

Like I said, get a PC. Problem solved.

Is that all you say in Console topics?

Go spread your PC Elitism somewhere else.

(Play's many many PC Games btw, so don't assume I am a console fanboy)

Look, It's not elitism. I know PC is better because Sheer performance
My PC's ARE better.
You can still be a console elitist, which Is what you just waved in everyones face btw, Even if you do play some PC games.

Performance wise, thats true.
But overall, PC gaming is not better, neither is Console gaming. Its a peference, not a fact. One is not better then the other.

Has anyone else notice this? There's no way I am shelling out money for a playstation move when they can't even put my games in high res. Why did I pay for this huge expensive tv if they can't even give me games that utilize it? Now they want me to buy a 3d tv? I don't think so.

Your playing on a Console, Get a PC. Enjoy resolutions above 1080P.
Problem solved.

I'm not speaking for OP, but both monitors and high end video cards add up to be really expensive.

Well, if you already have an 1080p HDTV and any computer, buying a GPU that could run a resolution of 1080p would only be about $250 to $300.

Bull. My GTS250 1gig is about USD100, and it does 1080 on all my games except Metro 2033. A 5770, which is like $120, could do better.

Yea I was talking somewhere in the 45+ FPS stable with high settings area for 1080p. But yea, you can get cards that would do fine in the medium-low or medium settings for roughly $100+.

Dude, both that cards can max out most games at 1920x1080. I played Crysis at all high, and it ran at 30+ expect during huge explosions. My laptop (which has a 5730M 1gig, basically an underclocked 5770) can play AvP on all highest at 30+ 1920x1080 with a second monitor going. You under estimate today's cards.

Yet, you just spouted your opinion like it was a fact.
Good Job.

Thats because it is an fact.
Performance, PC wins.
Whether or not you enjoy one or the other, meaning which one you think is better. Is subjective. Also why do you constantly make a new line for each sentence? Its kind of annoying.

lol Who cares? Well, I guess people must or this crap wouldn't sale as well. But I've had a 480P old ass TV and I've never complained about the resolution. Guess I was playing the game for it's gameplay, not it's visuals.

Because consoles can't really handle resource demanding games in 1080p. Better to lower the resolution and have a smoother game than jack it up to 1080p and have it run like shite.

Hell, until 3 or so weeks ago, I use to game on an 11 inch Emerson in 480i. With Mono sound. Left speaker only. With a fucking VCR built in. That didn't work. While playing a foot away from the screen.

Now, I play on a 37 inch 1080p VIZIO. Happy with it, have seen tiny little details in games I have not seen before. Able to tell in Bro Company 2 that the objective says A, B, C and D. But, if it randomly exploded on me, I would proudly go back to my old TV. I grew up on small screens. It is a part of the gaming legacy.

Whatever happened to enjoying the game? ;~;

Why would you assume that just because we may care about the visuals in a game, we DON'T care about the gameplay? There's nothing wrong with wanting or expecting both to be well-designed.

Yup...

<.<

When it comes at the cost of performance, I'd rather have the graphics take a shit. <.<

There's nothing wrong with gaming on an standard definition TV, unless the developers decide to use fonts that end up so small you can't read them.

I'm not kidding. That is fucking annoying.

No doubt, but that's not something you normally have to worry about. Especially not on consoles.

You're kidding, right?

Look, It's not elitism. I know PC is better because Sheer performance My PC's ARE better.

Your giant, throbbing PC favoritism is starting to get on my nerves. Yes PC's are a great platform but when you go blurting out 'PC's are the best gaming platform' people who've played consoles for most of their life........ don't really give a shit. PC gaming is expensive and is always advancing and to be truly good at keeping up you have to be an enthusiast. Console gaming is just simpler, often cheaper and have graphics that can get the job done. So what if my framerates aren't as high as yours? So what if I can't see that leaf in the wind from 1000 miles away?

If there's one thing about console gaming it's that you don't think your gaming platform of choice is superior to all others, you just want people to shut up so you can enjoy it.
