Nope. It began development on the GF3. It was first revealed on a Mac. Just thought I should point that out.
Then it was just shown at E3 running on the ATI R300 (Radeon 9700). That only could handle it at medium detail. Same as Xbox, only Xbox will run it at a lower resolution, so it can handle it.
As for the 1080i, I doubt it's gonna become the standard for games this generation. As great as it is, it takes up extra system resources to run at that resolution. Although the resolution makes games look great, it'll be taken away from what they can do with the rest of the graphics. I honestly doubt that Xbox could pull off Doom III at 1080i, but I'm not a programmer.
And I have good things to say about Xbox, I just usually talk about the bad things. Xbox is getting better, I can say that. MS makes stupid mistakes while making great decisions. All around they should end this generation strong. Xbox 2 will flop however, unless I'm in charge
Could you imagine? Powered by a modified PowerPC G5 and running a stripped down version of Mac OS X. Hehehehehe.
