Over on the official Gran Turismo website, news has surfaced of an amazing new experiment involving 4 PS3s and a few copies of GT 5. In amongst other next-generation trials was a method of using the four consoles to each display a quarter of the final screen each, then syncing them together on a new Sony cinema projector, the SRX-S1110, which can display a resolution of over 3840 x 2160 pixels.
Apparently the crowd was “simply amazed by the clarity of the image displayed on the massive 220 inch screen, and the players who participated in the time trial expressed their excitement of how perfectly in focus the screen is even close up, and at the quality of Gran Turismo.” I bet no-one asked when the damned thing would be coming to the PSP, though.

Isn’t it just saying that each image has 60FPS, so then the large image is 4X(60FPS) ? Cuz that’s faulty logic if I’m understanding it. Its like saying that your PS3 plays things at a 240FPS, its true if you cut the picture into 4 sections and each section is 60FPS.
Sure there might be 240 frames displayed a second, but its still outputs 60FPS

I was talking about the 4 screen presentation, but you are still right.

So will the PS4 just be 4 PS3s glued together? Or would that be a PS12? Or PS7?

Hopefully this won’t involve using LBP’s glue
.
Also, I’d quite like a quadHD projector, anyone fancy giving me that for Christmas.
Either that or a QuadHD TV, those are less expensive, and will fit in my bedroom.

Ultra HD was announced a coulpe of years ago, saying they’ll be available around 2011/12 I think.

Can i get that in a bag please?
November 20th, 2008 at 11:14 am
Amazing! Yeah shame we’ll never see it, but its nice to see the PS3 can do something special!
I wonder when we’ll start getting every game at 1080p?

CoD5 is 1080p all the way and it’s more complex than anything else I’ve seen at 1080p so it’s looking one step closer.

CoD5 - as in World at War?
The base resolution on that is 1024×600, upscaled to 720p - on both PS3 and 360 - then if your TV supports it, it seems to hock it up to 1080p.
If you’re talking about another game called CoD5, my apologies.
WoW isn’t even that complex or attractive a game - this coming from someone who loves it!
November 20th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
I think I’d be sick if it was that big!!!
Can you imagine playing Mirros Edge - *BAAAAAAARFFFFF*
November 20th, 2008 at 1:19 pm
Thats mental. So if that was compressed down to our crappy hd’s, Its going to look sharp as hell, right? I love the japsanese.
