Watching FarSight's HD YouTube Video Uploads On Xbox 360 and PS3

[PiN WiZ]

Just watched all of FarSight's HD YouTube videos on my Xbox 360 to get an idea of what I can expect it to look and sound like on my tv and I have to say, I was blown away. Sure the latest lighting effects aren't present on most videos (with the exception of the DLC video which looks even better) and there is some stream compression, but even so, the tables look miles better than they did on the PHOF Collections (more realistic and less cartoony) and you really get a feel for the improved physics as well as the engulfing sound these tables produce (just like on the real world tables). If you haven't already viewed FarSight's HD YouTube videos on your Xbox 360 or PS3, do so now.

Microsoft, I know it's addicting, but put The Pinball Arcade down for a second and tell FarSight it's approved already!

I'll have to try this. Thanks for the suggestion.

It makes all the difference in the world. I don't know why I didn't watch them through my Xbox in the first place.

Oh yeah, I've done this a lot. Which has made the wait more difficult. Lol

One thing to keep in mind. The video's are recorded in 1280x720, due to the capture hardware being limited to 720p. The final game runs in 1920x1080, so if you have a Full-HD TV, it will look even better.

Great...can't wait to see and play this masterpiece on my Xbox 360. I wonder if nudging works on Microsoft as well...

Now that's what I like to hear. I can't wait to see each table in true HD.

Great news!

Is that 1080i or 1080p?

 

[Mike Reitmeyer]

1080p, and we use a full 1080p (with 2xMSAA) buffer, unlike most Xbox 360 titles that really render in 1280x720 (or even smaller) then let the hardware scale up. For example, here are 2 of the most popular series on Xbox 360, and their video buffer sizes.

Call of Duty: Black Ops = 1040x608 (2xAA)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare = 1024x600 (2xAA)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 = 1024x600 (2xAA)
Halo 3 = 1152x640 (no AA)
Halo 3: ODST = 1152x640 (no AA)
Halo: Reach = 1152x720 (2xAA temporal)

Thanks for the clarification. Glad to see you guys are really going all out with this release. Is the resolution on the Vita the same as well?

 

[Mike Reitmeyer]

The Vita display resolution is 960x544.

Just saw a short video of someone playing TM:BOPB at the Texas Pinball Festival and the table looked so clean, it almost looked 3D. I really hope this comes out on wednesday for Xbox 360 cause the wait is on the verge of being torturous.

Any chance of a link to that video if it's online

A friend of mine went to the Texas Pinball Festival and showed me some footage of The Pinball Arcade on his HD camera and it looked awesome. I don't know if he's going to upload the videos or not, but I'll ask.
