It's amazing how people tend to ignore the fact that, unless you have a very talented 3D team who can make elegantly detailed models and textures, most games look better at lower resolutions than at higher resolutions

Techno-fetishism and being unable to distinguish between PR hype and reality seem to be a good part of MS'...game...plan.

Far be it for me to slight gadget lust, of course.

a pc-engine coregraphx is the most lustful piece of hardware of all.

I'd like at least 480p functionality, if they think they can manage it. MY GAMING SETUP GOES FROM A 7/10 TO A 2/10 FOR THINGS THAT CAN'T DO 480p!

Why woulden't it? Currently the GC (older models anyways) can do that, why would they completly drop it from the next generation? I was under the impression that they were not requiring developers to develope in high res.

Correct me if I am wrong here.

Yeah, I think I remember hearing that Revolution would at least do 480p as baseline.

The GC can do 480p for games that support it -- which is pretty much every high-profile and first-party title. But it requires you hold down B when you start the game, and the dock (for lack of a better word) doesn't run progressive, and other such goofiness.

It does kind of help if you render at like 10000000x1000000 and scale down to 320x240 or whatever, though. Less jaggies!

But that's mostly due to the fact that 3D hardware is dumb.

Our needs are over-identified and pushed into the market place at alarmingly high speeds.

You are just not getting it man! I mean, look at HIGH res! Sweat on SHAQ! OMG IT IS WONDERFUL. YOU IS MISSING THE POINT>

Yes.
