Diffense said:Yes, I'm going to use the feedback form to commend them on their wise and cost effective decision.
Diffense said:You're telling me that in order to get anything out of your games I'll have to buy a $1000+ new TV in addition to the console?
How do you know this?God's Hand said:Nintendo needs to fire Kaplan and whoever decided not to show the Revolution footage at E3. Retro's Metroid game will be a launch title, and they're pretty P.O.'d that the "big secret" (not my words) wasn't shown.
And I'd be surprised if Revolution doesn't support HD.
Many Xbox games ran fine in 720p.Auron said:As long as Revolution outputs at 480p, nobody's really going to know the difference. That's the accepted resolution standard adopted with the DVD format, and it will continue to be so through the life of the new consoles. Forcing developers to make their software in 1080i and 1080p with today's technology will only result in poor framerate, so focusing in on a more realistic target may actually benefit Nintendo.

According to Matt C. from IGN, all of Kaplan's comments as well as all the facts about Revolution's inability to output HD resolutions were approved by NCL.LegendofJoe said:This is too crazy for me to believe. There is no way Nintendo could be this short sighted, I won't believe this until NCL confirms.
today's technology??? video cards have been able to run games at 1024x768 which is similar to 1280x720 with great framerates for a long time now. we arent running TNT2's no more... :lolAuron said:As long as Revolution outputs at 480p, nobody's really going to know the difference.

IGN said:HD conversion for the US seems inevitable. But the storybook ending is far from written in the rest of the world. "By the end of the generation I'm convinced that we will have practically 100 percent penetration with HD in the US. Now, what I am scared about is Europe. We have a huge disconnect between Europe and the US in that regard. Europe is so far behind the curve in terms of HD adoption," says Eggebrecht.
Europe's inability to settle on a unified HD standard stalled its plan to get rolling with the format. Now, the continent is set to use the same HD standards as America, but nevertheless manufacturers have been slow to gain momentum with the conversion just as Europeans have been slow to embrace it.
The Japanese market has encountered similar issues, which might explain why Nintendo, whose decision makers operate out of Kyoto, is unwilling to accept high-definition.
Redbeard said:So that long letter was true after all :lol
Nintendo could once again be sending mixed signals to potential audiences. The Revolution is designed to look like a high-end electronics component, but it lacks a defining element of other next-generation systems, which is of course compatibility with the high-definition standard
Donnie said:I see that Matt is continuing his attack on Nintendo then.
Nothing in the article ever comes even close to confirming that Revolution won't be compatible with HDTV resolutions. Not factually anyway, all he has is conjecture and assumpion. Nintendo don't think that spending extra development time on HD as worth it so that means there console won't support the format?.. total nonesense. What is means is that Nintendo won't be making HD games themselves, that's all it means until we actually see firm info on Revolution specs. Yet despite the fact that Matt has no real clue wether the console will support HDTV or not he makes comments like this:
"It is accurate that at this time we will not support high-definition [on Revolution]," confirms Nintendo of America's vice president of corporate affairs, Perrin Kaplan.
"Nintendo's Revolution is being built with a variety of gamers' needs in mind, such as quick start-up time, high power, and ease of use for development and play. It's also compact and sleek, and has beautiful graphics in which to enjoy innovative games," Kaplan says. "Nintendo doesn't plan for the system to be HD compatible as with that comes a higher price for both the consumer and also the developer creating the game. Will it make the game better to play? With the technology being built into the Revolution, we believe the games will look brilliant and play brilliantly. This can all be done without HD."

Amir0x said:What the hell are you talking about?
I completely agree.Taker666 said:I have no problem with the lack of HD.
In Europe it's pretty much non-existant besides which I bought a new tv 2 years ago and doubt I will upgrade until the end of next gen anyway (unless it stops working of course).
I would however like to see 16:9 widescreen supported fully. It's now the standard in Europe yet few cube games include the option.
Ruzbeh said:I completely agree.
I really doubt it that HDTV will be the standard in 2006, when next-gen consoles come out.
