The De-Evolution of the Generation Begins
So it seems that MS is no longer requiring games on the 360 to be in high definition, doesn't mean people won't, but the option now exists it seems.

Quote:
Since the 360 launched in 2005, developers have had to work within a set of guidelines set down by Microsoft. One of those stipulated that games had to be running at a resolution of 1280x720 (720p). Not any more!
Black Rock Studio's (ATV, Split/Second) David Jefferies has, in his regular column on industry site Develop, revealed that Microsoft recently dropped the requirement, meaning games can - if they want/need to - be released in lower, standard definition resolutions.
Of course, some games on the 360 have already been released in sub-HD resolutions. Halo 3, for example, which Jeffereis says was thanks to Bungie, "who got it waived".

Re: The De-Evolution of the Generation Begins
This seems to be more covering tracks than anything else.
Halo 3 still looked great. If stuff just needs to run at 640p or whatever to get all the features in, I don't mind.

Re: The De-Evolution of the Generation Begins
The HD thing a requirement on Ps3 also? If so, expect it to be dropped soon too, if it has any affect on how easy a game is to develop.

Well, Three Dog, you were ranting and raving about how games like Peggle, Tetris and anything by Popcap was good, so this is brilliant news! No more will video games be held down by the shackles of graphics.

I'm actually a fan of all of those games... you forgot Bejeweled.
But reading up on this, it seems like Halo 3 wasn't the only game that dipped below 720p, apparently CoD 4 did, PGR 3 and 4, and a bit more. Looking through a list now.
Curious though, how many people here actually own HDTVs?
