Um, wow, that guy who says that 360 cant put out a screenshot at that high resolution, you should stop talking.

A. Xbox 360 has 3 core CPU @ 3.2 Ghz each and an ATI custom GPU that's better than anything out on PC.
B. 1080p/i means 1920x1080 at either 30 or 60 fps with full AA and HDR on.

Oh, and unlike all current GPU's (except x1900XT), 360 CAN handle AA + HDR on the screen at the same time.

And yes, those are 360 screenshots because those are up on IGN.com under 360 its the only Need for Speed Carbon section on IGN.

And yes, you can take screenshots off any console. You just need to plug in your video cables from console into any VIDEO IN port on your graphics card. Voila! Direct-feed screenshots at full res.

You should seriously start thinking about what you're saying and get your facts straight. It is physically IMPOSSIBLE (not that it can't handle it) for a console to have a higher resolution than 1080p (think hard about that, think really heard and nail it in your skull and maybe it will reach your brain) while all the video cards on the market today handle resolutions up to 2048x1536.

Oooo they're under IGN's Xbox 360 section, so they must be right...sheesh give me a break.

Just because the current TV's cant output higher res, doesnt mean the console cant display them. Besides, what kinda monitor can display that resolution or video card that can run smoothly at that insane res? Dispalying is one thing, running it at acceptable framerate is another.

I bet the game was crawling @ 1-2 fps when they took the screen.

Does it really matter?

None of us will ever run it at that crazy res.

2Furio, give it a break. If EA tells us it is a XBOX360 shot, IT IS A XBOX360 SHOT!

Like bojan said:
You think they actually make the xbox360 screenshots on an xbox360 console?

How do you think they make the game for a console?? on a PC wich runs the software to build console games. and with that they make screenshots from that game. (mostlikely at low FPS.
and you can still connect a 360 to a PC and get the screenshot on the PC with really great quality! wich you can enhance again with editing programs like enlarging it without loosing to much quality!

Korge... never seen a EVO race a Lambo???

and it is a even a Murcielago, and not a Gallardo as on the pic... this STOCK even will eat a Gallardo for breakfast

SpeedComrad · Post by **SpeedComrad** » 23 Jun 2006, 07:49

Umm, they make 360 games on this...

http://cache.kotaku.com/gaming/images/debugx-thumb.jpg

called debug kits. Sure, most of the programming is done on PC's but the game is run on the hardware.

But this is so pointless since most of you guys dont own a 360.

The Gravedigger · Post by **The Gravedigger** » 23 Jun 2006, 08:26

Sure the dev kits will be able to do that high a resolution, they're not the consoles the everyday Joe have bought themselves. Which in reality, is all that should matter, sure it might be fancy and all, but it's not like the gamers will be able to play it as it is shown unless you can deal with 1-5 fps, I for one can just deal with 8 before giving up on the game.
My question is.... how many times did the 360 overheat or freeze when they were doing this.

And yes, I know of how the 360 overheats, etc.. my friend's one does it occasionally.

Thank you!

I said this once before in another thread, but I don't think anyone listened.

Damn dude! First you posted pic from race and we are talking about streets and not tracks!
Second you posted a look to road like you wana to see constructure of it!
And we are talking about roads look!

The Gravedigger · Post by **The Gravedigger** » 23 Jun 2006, 10:58

....

That's because EA never differentiated between the two (in U2), the only thing different about the roads on the streets and the track are the gutters...

Wow, you're a smart one. Does your friend keep his 360 under a pillow? Mine never ever overheated, froze or died. Still works like a charm.

Yes indeedy! Wouldn't wanna waste my money on a piece of cheap-quality plastic made by Microsoft. For the first time, you're right about something...

the stock evo8 would get it's ass kicked by both the gallardo and murchi. but i agree, the video actually does show that it's really possible to beat a lambo in a tuned evo8

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 24 Jun 2006, 11:09

Where do they say that it's tuned?

99k · Post by **99k** » 24 Jun 2006, 12:49

They don't, It's stock

well call it stock if you want but thats an EVO8 FQ400...

Post by **TheStig** » 24 Jun 2006, 16:16

It is a STOCK EVO 8.
you can buy it at a mitsu dealer and they even give you warenty for it (as said in the movie) so it is as stock any other factory tuned car.
You can't compare the MR FQ series with a normal EVO8 that is sold. and the FQ400 is in a league of it's own.
Don't know if the FQ330 is sold world wide but the FQ400 is a UK build car, and if I am not mistaken Righthand only.

but still... a stock car as can be

Kid Cro · Post by **Kid Cro** » 24 Jun 2006, 17:03

Well EVO kick ass of that lambo coz they are on tight turns but on straight road EVO can hide himself!

R34GTR · Post by **R34GTR** » 24 Jun 2006, 17:08

Actually, if i think back to a Top Gear episode, the FQ400 can easily keep up with a Murcialago, both round the corners and down the straights, so maybe EA aren't that wrong.

Post by **TheStig** » 25 Jun 2006, 04:02

Even on the streights the EVO wasn't left behind much. it could still do a 0-100(60mph) in 3.5 so it isn't by all means slow. yeah the Murc was faster on the streights. but not by much.
and the average track isn't streight.

Kid Cro · Post by **Kid Cro** » 26 Jun 2006, 00:57

And we could discuss wich driver was better! Tell me how a PRO driver can do 180 turn wich he didn't wana to do?? mhm...

Post by **TheStig** » 26 Jun 2006, 02:37

Everyone can make mistakes. and they guy in the Murc really is a TOCA driver (won brittish TOCA championship in... forgot wich year)

If you watch Top Gear sometimes you will know that the racing driver they use also regularly skids the cars he is trying to get a good laptime.
It simply happens when you are racing on the edge, it is not to hard to go over the edge and spin out.

I know that stuff like a 180 would never happen to you cause you are way beyond a pro driver.....

Kid Cro · Post by **Kid Cro** » 28 Jun 2006, 18:55

No, I don't say that things like that cannot happen to me! Far from that...
Often things come out diferent than my imagination!
But ok I agree that things like that can happen when you are racing on the edge!
But then me wonders how F1 drivers don't spin around that often? Maybe coz they have 14249246464 protections for traction control!

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 28 Jun 2006, 22:08

Because they drive they're own car they have customized to fit their body, and eveything is tuned for their use, they probably just told that guy to get in the Lamoborghini and drive.
