CoD WaW -- In HD this game seems more playable

[Tanooki]

Today I just got the itch to do CoDWaW again but having the PS3 I went and ditched 3 Wii games I was done with/disliked (one being the CODWaW Wii version) and nailed down the PS3 game (and loco roco 2.) I know this is likely a 'duh' comment but I'm of the opinion now this game was really not meant to be played in under a 720p type environment. When doing the Wii game I got to hating some of the Japanese sections as I could never make out some of those chumps in the bushes and would get tore up (trees too.) On the PS3 game though if you focus just a little you can really make out the silhouettes and other things to get a clean shot on a fair playing field. On Wii you'd basically have to play on easy/normal and watch for muzzle flash half the time, but not anymore, and oddly it's much easier to pick people off way far in the distance too which you'd think using a pointer would help, but it doesn't.

Anyone else ever try out both styles of the game and notice the same things?

Can't speak to that game in particular or the Wii, but I've done plenty of gaming in 480 i/p and yeah there's a big difference in some of the minute details you can make out in different games once you play them in SD. I've run Gears of War, CoD4 and a host of other games in both formats and noticed a marked difference in what you can see off in the distance.

Also, depending on how well your display can push blacks will make a difference as well.

Here's something I'd like you to try, if you don't mind.

Could you set your PS3 to 480P mode and play a bit again, and then let us know how the Wii version holds up against that.



Dunno if anyone's done that yet, but I'm just interested to see just how well (or indeed poorly) the Wii version holds up in comparison to one of the HD copies when played by someone who's played a substantial amount of each version.

Cheers in advance.
