GT4 has 1080i gameplay

okay so I am a couple days late with this, but I haven't seen it mentioned so far. Gran Turismo 4 has both 480p *and* 1080i HDTV gameplay modes. http://gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=52535&page=2 " my friend in taiwan already got GT4 from blockbuster today after 4PM. anyway, they told me some good news about GT4: 480p,1080i not only for photo mode, even in the racing. fully support 1080i(16:9)!!!!!!

I find that very hard to believe. The PS2 is hard pressing running most games at 480p. A game like GT4 which pushes the aging PS2 to its limits running at 1080i, I think not. I suspect its only the cgi videos that runs at hdtv resolutions. Also, I thought GT4 wasn't out yet anywhere... including Japan and Asia??? Xenon wrote:

It was announced that GT4 does not support progressive scan. I am one of the first to say I would loveit to run in 480p but it is not to happen this time around. GT4 is pushing the PS2 to a very high level and it was a dropped feature. "zeus" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:41d0a06f$[email hidden]...

I read through it. Looks to me like an elaborate hoax. I won't believe it until I see it with my own eyes or Sony confirms it in an official statement. Xenon wrote:

Okay, that's fair enough. I won't believe it until I'm playing it at 1080i myself. "zeus" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:41d0a959$[email hidden]...

I have heard that the 1080i support is just for some sort of photo mode. There will be more on this at http://www.hdtvarcade.com soon. "Xenon" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Oops, Xenon has the shoot. Ignore my post.

From IGN: We already mentioned that GT4 has real human drivers with motion-captured animations, but, like the vehicles, another area that receives a bump in visuals are the billboard-based spectators on the side of the track. It was announced that these road-side spectators will be fully modeled for the final game. This wasn't hinted at, it was confirmed and we'll hold Polyphony to it. We thought the visual magic was coming to an end, but it seems to be just started as Polyphony is practically pushing the envelope off a cliff. But with all the eye-candy going on there will be no progressive scan mode. It was stated that the game actually looks worst in progressive scan as many of the effects have to be turned off to make the mode work. http://ps2.ign.com/articles/515/515023p1.html I am looking for the newer report I read. Now, I will concede that they may have found a way to get it to work but I remember reading an interview where the devs said there would be no progresive can this time around.

Uh, running it on any kind of TV (especially ones that would make it possible to enter 1080i mode) doesn't change the fact that on all the screenshots I've seen of GT4, the textures are incredibly low-res. Think almost 4-bit tree or billboard textures from GPL when it was released.

That > was in 1998. Finally. Papy has better graphics than someone else. Pigs *can* fly.
