Games like CoDs and Halo's and ACs.. they can be pretty jaggy at times and HD only makes graphical issues more apparant. I have bad experiences with upscaling... HD rendered games usually look a lot better (modern RE games etc.). What are your thoughts?

Games that don't output through HDMI on my TV look pretty jaggy. Component Cables help, but it still looks jaggy. It's really bad for Wind Waker and Sunshine through Component Cables, even though games like Galaxy and Skyward Sword aren't jaggy.

It works both ways.

 

Playing Dishonored in 480p on the PS3 is a nightmare as it's ridiculously hard to read any text the game has.

 

Playing Super Mario 64 on an HDTV is a nightmare because it looks like crap what with all the jaggies.

 

It's just on a game-by-game basis, no real formula.

Noticed trillegy prime 1-2 look good on HDTVs(mine upscaled to 960 with small black outside) while 3 looked jaggy as rainbow, made me think they added features or AA to the first 2 but 3 pushed graphics to much to add it.


So depends on the game

I've noticed that Wii games look better on my TV when I turn down the sharpness. Virtual Console games generally look fine in HD, but their actual *on the original system* counterparts look far better on an older CRT.

Older games do, not modern ones though.

I've always had sharpness at 50+. Today I turnedit down and jaggies are waaaay less especially in games like AC2. A lot of games still don't look HD tho.... dunno why. Haven't tried this on Wii tho.

well when they tell you last gen games run on hd they are lying unless they re made  the game and improved the graphics

[Julio93]

Old games look good on a SD TV, I still have one in my room and an HD TV on my living room, the framerate's slower if you play a new game like Last of Us on a SD TV.

Will next-gen games look truly HD? Like a lot of details/good AA. I'm thinking the "HD gaming" of this gen is not what HD is meant to be in movies for example.

Well in movies it can take hours for high end equipment to render a single frame, so that goes without saying. No gaming system can even handle Princess Merida's hair.
