With the push for 1080p resolution gaming in the next generation arena, it's become ever more important to make sure that not only does your console support native 1080p (the Xbox 360 does), but also that your game looks good when push comes to shove. Which is why late last week, Big Boss Hartman rolled in a brand new 46" 1080p Samsung (S4695D) TV for the art team to tune graphics, in case folks do run the game upscaled to 1080p. Uh, you guys do know that Xbox 360 does 1080p now over your standard component cables, right?
Anyway, from personal experience, 1080p over component cables gives you richer colors, while 1080p over VGA and HDMI give you a sharper picture (less ghosting with text in menus, for instance) while colors overall look a little more washed out. As for Forza Motorsport 2 in 1080p... so far, it's looking very good. That's as much testament to the game's graphics as it is the Xbox 360's beastly resolution upscaler chip, dubbed Ana.
It's almost enough to make me run out and buy a 1080p plasma just so I can go back and play 360 games like Lost Planet and Gears of War in 1080p glory.

That would be awesome to have Forza 2 at 1080p, however I don't have a 1080p tv yet
