It will be a long long time before I get an HDTV.... And yes, I'm aware of the fact that in this generation, the high resolution makes all the difference.
Yeah, I'm hard to please. I can say this. While I can appreciate the technical level of something, I have the remarkeble ability to completely ignore technical aspects when I'm deciding how good something looks. I can't actually tell you why it doesn't look that impressive, with that in mind. What I can say is you can quote as many nice numbers as you want but if I am just not seeing anything major, I'm not seeing it. That may sound like hick talk, and don't get me wrong, I actually DO know what a lot of the termanology means, it's just that I have to get a little rough when it comes to actually appreciating the look of it.
Hey ABF, here's something for ya. Mech Assault. That game actually had you download various mechs as they designed them, basically mechs being that game's version of "new guns". Fortunatly, all the mechs were free. They only charged for some "map pack".

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
