According to SCEA, Motorstorm will not support 1080p at 60 fps. Sony has been touting the game as true HD game supporting the highest high def resolution and frame rate possible on the market. In the keynote speech given at CES this year, Peter Dille triumphantly declared that Motorstorm will indeed run at full high definition 1080p at 60fps. However, according the actual developers, the game will only run at 720p and 30fps. Even at this resolution and frame rate, the game looks incredible enough. We just don?t understand why Sony would need to embellish technical spec for a game that already looks incredible.

It’s starting to get frustrating to cover Sony. From being misleading in their Emmy press-releases and then pulling the evidence, to switching their stated manufacturing goals, I just can’t keep the stories straight. The Emmy thing was okay?we all make mistakes, and perhaps Sony just jumped to a few conclusions. But the issue of Motorstorm’s resolution is much thicker and smacks of negligence.

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.
