nintendo said itd have hd support..and nintendojo has sucked for years

wandering · « **Reply #4 on:** May 16, 2005, 06:57:23 PM »

ya, they may not require developers to make HD games, but I'm convinced there will be support. Statements in a NYtimes article with no source don't mean much.

Artimus · « **Reply #5 on:** May 16, 2005, 07:10:30 PM »

I thought this was already confirmed!? You'd have a to be an absolute moron to not have HD support, especially considering some games already have progressive scan on the Cube...

If this is true they'd have to be the stupidest company ever.

Well, here is the link...LINK...that nintendojo is refering to since nobody posted it yet.

It doesn't exactly say much though.

Ian Sane · « **Reply #7 on:** May 16, 2005, 08:10:27 PM »

Doesn't the Cube support HD (or at least did before they removed the port to cut costs)? Why would they go backwards like that? This thing is supposed to hook up to PC monitors out of the box. I'm sure it will be HD capable.

wandering_nintendo_fan has the right idea in that at worst they're probably not forcing all Rev games to be HD like MS is.

how about we believe Kaplan's words that mention "a new type of HD games" ?

Savior · « **Reply #9 on:** May 16, 2005, 08:19:49 PM »

The Rev can connect to PC Monitors

Why would that be if HD games arent possible?

HD arent Forced like 360 games... but i doubt they will elimiante it completely.

henryhund · « **Reply #10 on:** May 16, 2005, 09:06:05 PM »

Having no HD wouldn't be total suicide, but it would hardly facilitate any kind of "revolution." Not forcing HD is a good idea, though. 40 HD games for 360 launch? I'll believe it when I see it...

No way. It is WAY more fun to freak out and piss myself over every little thing.

Gamefreak · « **Reply #12 on:** May 17, 2005, 01:21:26 AM »

Dude of course it supports HD. Even the GC supports HD.

BigJim · « **Reply #13 on:** May 17, 2005, 01:39:18 AM »

Component output isn't HD. That feature is available even on some standard definition TVs too.

Mike_Tyson · « **Reply #14 on:** May 17, 2005, 01:41:39 AM »

Sources like Forbes and the Times are unreliable when it comes to gaming information as they don't take it seriously it's more of a back page rumor mill for them, the Revolution will almsot certainly support High Definition formats.

HD = Hard Drive
HD = High Definition

This thread = Confusing

hdd = hard disk drive

Mine has it

That just means I can have progressive scan.

skeeter149 · « **Reply #18 on:** May 17, 2005, 06:10:03 AM »

to simplify the whole component thing. using the component output on a standard definition t.v. will give the best picture, meaning better color and picture because the three colors are isolated better from interferance and get a better connection etc. using the same component output on a edtv or hdtv (enhanced and high definition) will result in a progressive scan. and all the progressive scan signal is is a 480 progressive signal. to be hd it has to be 720p or 1080i or 1080p. so what 480p does is draw all 480 lines of resolution at one time instead of one pass of odds and one pass of evens like analog tv's do. resulting in a sharper more detailed picture but not of hd resolution.* whew*

Just because a game is running in HD doesn't mean it's good, or even looks good, it just means it will have a really sharp picture.

jakeOSX · « **Reply #20 on:** May 18, 2005, 03:13:03 AM »

so do we have word either way on this? i've been reading everything i can, and haven't seen anything about HD (not that nin released ANY specs...)

They said last year that the Rev will connect to computer monitors. Presumably then, it will have a VGA or DVI output. Is that enough of a confirmation?

jakeOSX · « **Reply #23 on:** May 18, 2005, 07:51:40 AM »

i'm not sure. i know that a computer monitor can be higher res than HD... but i don't know if that correlates to HD output (which i am sure is different in some screwed up technical way)

Renny · « **Reply #24 on:** May 18, 2005, 08:08:59 AM »

It's possible it'll still be 640/704x480p, but why would they incur the expense of a monitor output to run at a res they've already achieved with the GameCube?
