It's not like the gaming press made up the 1080p, 60fps Motorstorm story by ourselves. Sony employees
were telling the press that would be the resolution and the framerate. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt, and say the people running the televisions at trade shows may get their facts wrong. Of course, the Senior Vice-President of Marketing for your company should know better.
In the CES keynote,
which you can watch here, Peter Dille states that we'll see Motorstorm at 1080p running at 60fps. He makes this point strongly, in an attempt to prove the power of the PS3, before telling us it's the only "true" high definition system on the market. I would say that point is arguable at best, but there is no doubt he was selling Motorstorm as an example of their 1080p content.
After all that buzz, they're now saying Motorstorm will be at 720p and run at 30fps. At least
according to SCEA. Then again, at this stage who do you believe? I don't even think Sony knows anymore.
