Yeah. Read that title again, according to PS3Fanboy, PlayFrance has revealed evidence that Wipeout, the insanely fast F-Zero type racing game will be in 1080p, the highest resolution available now. On top of that, it will run at the full 60 FPS. Okay, now you have my attention. The interview is here and written in French, so I can’t read it, but it does confirm that this is true. Could this be the apex of graphical achievement that the PS3 says it can handle. Let’s all hope so and eyes will be watching for the first video.
NBA 08 is the follow up to the PS3 first party launch title, NBA 07. The game looks to build upon what was started last year to take the game to the next level. But too many features were left out to bring it there. The game is pretty, but needs some depth to really compete in the basketball game market. Here is a breakdown of some of the facets of NBA 08 for the PS3:
Presentation and Graphics: NBA 08 runs at a blistering 60fps at full 1080p. Not many games can claim that honor, but Sony has made sure their NBA line looks top notch. There are, however, some clipping issues which prevent the graphics from being the best they can be. The details in the arenas and crowd this year are a huge step up, as are the player and uniform details. The game presents some really cool replays, but these seem vary sparse and only after a big dunk. I would have liked to have seem these occur more often, say with a big crossover to nice steal. The camera seems to stay too far away from the action, not giving you enough opportunity to find that tight passing line into the low post. 4 of 5

We got word today from 2K Sports about their new Media Player which showcases some pretty screenshots and a gameplay trailer for NBA 2K8. The game is set to drop October 2nd in the US for most major consoles.
The game looks more polished than last year’s title with more details in the uniforms and smoother animations. Word on the street is the game runs at a blazing 60fps on all platforms. I think the coolest feature of the game is in the inclusion of the Slam Dunk Contest as a playable mode.

The new Ratchet and Clank title for the PS3 has some weight behind it, running around at 22GB of the max 25GB of the Blu-Ray disk. Yeah, that’s pretty big. According to PSU, even without the localizations, the title couldn’t fit on a DVD9.
That’s not it either. Ratchet and Clank Future will run at a blazing 60fps at both 720p and 1080i. Sweetness! Insomniac made it clear that all future PS3 titles will run at 60fps, which is great for PS3 gamers. Yes, that includes the upcoming sequel to Resistance Fall of Man.
Ratchet will tear onto store shelves October 23rd in the US, with a demo hitting the PlayStation Store October 4th.
