I played 360

I never said that's all an HDTV could do; I wasn't commenting on HDTVs at all. I was commenting on the XBox360, and the apparent fact that you need an HDTV to be able to notice the graphic difference between the 360 and a regular XBox.

Some people have to save up to upgrade their video console and they expect to be able to tell the difference. They shouldn't have to spend another several hundred to a thousand dollars, or more, just to appreciate the graphical upgrade. That they would also gain eye candy when watching movies or sports in completely irrelevant.

And I'm a very big movie fan. I work at a movie theatre just so I can get free movies.

still looks a lot better even without an HDTV.


but the people with HDTV's shouldnt have to stand to look at a crappy low resolution game, when they paid to get the crystal clearity of HD.

This is what I got out Dyne's message:

-DOA4 is a very average looking next gen game, not a whole lot better than top XBox stuff
-You can, however, notice the differences much more easily when it is being displayed on a quality TV
-XBox 360 games look better on HDTVs than 'old' TVs


Now, maybe I was supposed to read "you cant tell the difference between XBox 360 and XBox unless you spend upwards of $1000 on a new TV"...Hopefully Dyne can clear that up for us.

And if you were trying to exaggerate to prove a point, it still didn't work (unless you truly believe there would be no visable difference between XBox 360 games and XBox games on a non-HDTV)

Yeah.

I believe I said "I played DOA4 on my 30"-ish TV with AV output, and it looked somewhat the same as DOA3, but better."

"Somewhat" being a keyword to describe DOA4's likeliness to its predecessor. The models are a lot better, the stages are a lot more huge and detailed, and there's blur and stuff. I was absolutely amazed at the level of quality of Ryu Hayabusa's Ninja helmet on my little screen, but when I brought it to the bigger screen I really appreciated it. The textures will show up better on a better screen, of course.

Of course you can't base it off one game. I played Kameo on a tiny screen at a store and I appreciated the amount of polys the screen was pushing and some of the very realistic shining effects. However, this was back when it came out, and I played it from a jaded standpoint - but I still admired the jump of graphics. I'm sure if I played Kameo now on my own setup I'd appreciate it more.

Fight Night 3 is just astounding. No current console can do it. It's just amazing. Maybe I was a little confusing, but this game is basically the tits on any screen.
