Does anyone know if this game is made in 1080p?

Thanks!

I doubt-it seriously. You won't see Native 1080p Rendered games anytime soon.

Addon - or if at all

Actually, I just picked up "Lost Planet" and it is in 1080p. There is a noticeable difference between 1080i and 1080p. It's much sharper and clearer than 1080i.

I would think this new MLB will definitely be in 1080p.

What you are seeing is your xbox 360 UPCONVERTING the game to 1080p, that's why the box says:

720p
1080i
1080p

If it was developed in 1080p it would say 1080p only :thumbsup:

Ahh. Thanks for that.

I don't mean to question your answer, but might the listing of the three formats just mean that if you don't have a TV with 1080p display, say 1080i max, that you can still play the game at 1080i or 720p?

Does that necessarily mean the game was not made in 1080p, but is backwards compatible? Maybe I'm missing something here.

Thanks

The resolution indicator on the back of the box simply shows what resolutions are supported, it is not an indication of whether or not a game has a frame buffer of 1920x1080 or 1280x720.

I have yet to hear (officially from an actual game developer, not PR guy or box) that any 360 game has a frame buffer of 1920x1080. If the back of the box was an indication than every game released is 1920x1080 because they almost all say '1080i'.
