The Playstation 3 version of Far Cry is believed to run at full 1080p whereas the Xbox 360 version runs at 720p. Quaz51, the person from the Beyond3D forum who found out the native resolutions of GTA4 and Halo 3 has confirmed the native resolutions for the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Far Cry 2. PS3 version of Far Cry 2 is running at 960*1080p as opposed to 1280*720p on X360.
His comments on the PS3 version:
Does anyone wanna take a crack at this Far Cry 2 720p footage, entitled “Console Walkthrough? There’s quite a bit of visible aliasing in certain areas.

I’m think I’m measuring 960×1080, which indicates this might be the PS3 version running at 960×1080 in 1080p mode.
And his comment on the Xbox 360 version:
1280×720
Either way, both version will look identical.

Actually, that’s not correct.
Quaz51’s post was from over a month ago based upon video footage only without any idea which was 360 and which was PS3. Because he measured 1080p, he assumed it may be the PS3 version, hence he says “I think I’m measuring 960×1080, which indicates this *MIGHT* be the PS3 version running at 960×1080 in 1080p mode”.
However, now that Far Cry 2 has been released, it has be found to be the reverse, where it’s actually the 360 version which goes up to 1080p and the PS3 version which is only 720p;

“The problem is the PS3 of Far Cry 2 only supports 720p, while the Xbox 360 version offers full 1080p support.”

“look on the back of the game boxes, ps3 hdvideo output 720p, 360 hdvideo 720p,1080i,1080p”
RESOLUTION AINT GRAPHICS, THIS ARTICLE GOES TO PROVE THAT, BUT ENTER ANY FORUM BOTH X360 AND PS3 FANS WILL CALL RESOLUTION GRAPHICS, OR GRAPHICS HD AKA hd graphic….
WITCH IS ALL MARKETING HYPE……..
its gaming quality that matters not pixel counts “rollseyes”…
haze supports 567p with hd scaling on ps3 haze looks and plays shit because thats what it is shit 576p doesn’t come into it the graphics could be way better and full scaling can be offered
stop with the hd lies jesus
x360 doesnt support 1080p it offers a 720p ana chip upscaled mode what display res your playing at is meaningless to a point but arguing 1080p vs 720p is a meaningless argument…
id rather argue 3d motion 3d mouse vs caveman control pads
id rather argue fast loading vs crappy slow loading etc
who native resolution is the highest and whos shit smells the sweetest is all bullshit
its realtime gaming experience that matters…..
i think super resolution and hd optimizing tech can really help games in HD
a wii turbo with advanced super resolution will offer 1080p high end gaming at a rock bottom price
its cheep but powerful powerful but energy efficent thats the future
not big phat boxes loud fans and bullshit
1080×960 IS the ps3 version end of discussion. 1080×960 is a resolution that sony unlocked for third party developers since ps3 scales, more or less on ONE axis. 960×1080 only leaves a slightly higher memory footprint making it a good HD resolution on ps3 unlike this sub 720p crap. If all games were required to run at a minimum of 720×1280 WITH 2X AA, I could live with that even though it’s not as clean as 1080, if a game runs at at least 720 and uses AA, I don’t have a problem with it.
NO more Halo’s and COD’s that run at sub 720×1280. With all the 1080p hype (I own 2 1080p sets) There is no excuse for SUB 720p it this generation.
I am absolutely tired of having to choose xbox games over ps3 games just because playstation won’t upgrade their most common formats.
Touché
Pleasant write-up friend! The Ps3, I consider is the perfect when it comes to console games. Nobody can ever control it’s processing power, and graphics. It leads the 3rd generation system competition and will always be regarded as as a top notch to console gaming.
