JetSetWilly Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Sorry to raise this old chestnut again but has anyone read Matt at IGNs article today with regard to HD support in the Revolution: http://cube.ign.com/mail/ I'm confused at to what "No HD support" really means. On numerous occaisons in this forum posters have said that developers can code it themselves if they want to. But Matt makes no mention of that option, and surely he would if it were possible? Surely no HD support means "we're putting in a graphics card that physically can't do it in order to make the console cheaper"? Maybe I should be asking Matt...

system_error Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I think the GPU could do HD graphics but Nintendo doesn't force them AND they won't have the right cable input/output (saves space). Nah don't try to reach Matt ... cube.ign.com is updated only once a year lately - one of the most boring sites in the reccent days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darv Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I think we need to wait and see about the whole HD thing. The console will be more than powerful enough to output to HD resolutions. Whether or not it will be a certified HD decoder that can play encrypted HD media is another thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeyDluffy Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 from what I remember reading i think that the rev will output in a higher than normal resolution, but it won't be high enough to be classified as HD, what this means in reality maybe that you get a slightly crisper image on a HD tv. Also I think no HD support means that nintendo will not be coding its games for HD and they will not provide the cable to enable the rev to hook upto a HDI or what ever, socket on the tv, however a third party could provide a cable or nintendo themselves in the future if it decided to change its mind.

DCK Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Right OK, for all you confused people, this is an ancient thread. We now know the Wii is physically unable to output HD resolutions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie_baby Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 Right OK, for all you confused people, this is an ancient thread. We now know the Wii is physically unable to output HD resolutions. well technicly the wii is mentally rather than physicallly unable to output HD resolutions as it is down to the software rather than the hardware and i'm sure someone from nintendo said it may be possible in the future (wouldn't hold my breath though) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
