[QUOTE="Alex Atkin UK, post: 120271, member: 1290"] If you look at Zen Pinball on different platforms the number of polygons in the models clearly varies a lot. Based on the PS4 trailer it seems they have indeed increased this further compared to the 360/PS3, but its hard to tell because those versions weren't exactly lacking to begin with. Still, if they hadn't I bet it wouldn't have looked so good in 1080p. I suspect they will have polished with AA and shaders too. Its a bit more tricky for Zen to do much because the tables aren't meant to be realistic (to real pinball) so making them look more like real pinball tables could actually take some of the novelty away from the game. As for 3D, the problem is that while the console should be able to handle 1080p/60fps most HDTVs can only handle 720p at 60fps due to the HDMI spec they use. As my TV is passive 3D I really wish games supported it natively with interlaced 3D as it can only display 1920x540 per eye anyway, which means a 720p image ends up displaying at 1280x540 upscaled, which kinda sucks.
