[360] X360 & 720p, oh wait... I'm an idiot...

If the lack of 720p pisses you off so much, don't play it. But that's just being anal retentive over quality, when you can perfectly enjoy the game without being a graphics whore.

I don't see the need to hop online and announce (and imply Microsoft's at fault) Activison are doing a poor job, giving them bad reputation just because you're anal retentive over it not running in a certain fucking resolution type and thus failing to meet your high-end demands to the point of returning the product.

Quote:

If 720p is such a big deal to everybody, then how did these kids survive with a ps2 or a snes back in the day? I'd figure if high-res was so important, then PC games would dominate the graphics whores.

They shut up and played their games instead of complaining about them online.

How ya doing, buddy?

Gimme a break.

Uh, wtf dude. You're trying to bring the quality of cables into a matter of graphics. Composite, coaxial and the like only alter the graphics in certain ways, they aren't going to make the graphics of the game change drastically.

CG video wasn't possible on the SNES, where FF6 was made, and as it were on FF7, it was done. Technology, etc, is why VI looked different. Comparing one game to another like that when they're on different consoles and they've had limitations is pretty pointless.

Developers can only work with the console's and their limits to a certain point. You can't expect FF6 to have been revolutionary and superior to FF7 considering the amount of time they had between the two. Plus, they're on DIFFERENT CONSOLES which makes it an entirely new ball game.

And the xbox was issued with composite, so uh, I really don't know why you would want to go backwards to coaxial, or why you would want to compare actual game graphics to quality of game graphics. That's just stupid.

You said "xbox" not "xbox 360". Microsoft has official component cables available worldwide for the 360, so that isn't a problem. Xbox games look fine on composite, and that's why they're issued with them. The consoles can always look better visually with component, but it isn't essential.

No it's not. HDTV quality isn't required for the use of an xbox 360, nor should anyone feel obligated to own one in order to feel gratification out of getting a better experience from their console.

PS2 on coaxial looks like garbage, because it isn't supposed to be viewed on coaxial and adaptors only exist because people have outdated tv's. Just because someone doesn't have a HDTV does not mean they have an outdated tv, and it doesn't mean they should upgrade just to play with their 360.

The whole "QUALITY IS SUPERIOR, YOU MUST DO THIS, GAMING WILL NOT BE THE SAME OTHERWISE" thing you're bringing up is pretty lame. You can pretty much enjoy games on a standard tv, with component, without having some fancy shit to play 360 games with. It appears as if the op isn't the only person anal retentive over graphics and minorities which aren't by the developer's hand.

I fail to see how this relates to the op and him returning a game because it doesn't run at a certain high def resolution.

First of all, component comes in RCA format as well. The difference is visible but it doesn't necessarily mean a better quality all-round. 2D games look sharper on component and it's actually harder on the eyes to get used to it. Yes, it's clearer, but it's composite which blurs the jaggies and sprites.

Sometimes, quality isn't everything. And that's exactly the case here. Quality isn't everything, and you don't need to exceed yourself in having the best just to get the maximum out of your games. Buy a game, enjoy it, or don't buy it at all.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

They still sell SDTV's worldwide, brand new, and are still being made.

I'd hardly call them outdated, even in comparison to HDTV. The quality is better, but they've been the standard since the 80's, and I doubt they'll be going anywhere anytime soon.
