Is anyone playing Tron Evolution on PS3? I've been trying to get the game running at a higher resolution than 720p with 3D enabled but the PS3 won't let me. I have to force the game to run in 1080p with manual display settings just to get it at that resolution, but 3D cannot be selected at this resolution. Also if I have display settings set to auto on the PS3 it resizes the screen to 720p regardless of whether 3D is on or not.

It does, but under the main PS3 display settings you have to manually select to have only 1080p rendered in-game.

I read on a Playstation board that because 3-d involves double the processing of the image (left and right eye perspective) I think they have to drop the resolution to not tax the system/cause graphical glitches/slowdown. I suspect we are unlikely to see a 1080 3-d game until PS4/5

Also although many PS3 games list themselves as being 1080p, their natural resolution is 720, and they can only be forced into 1080 manually. You can leave it like this, but then games that only list as 720p will drop to 520p. I had this issue with ROTF as it says it is 1080 on the box, but auto mode always clicks to 720. I tested SFIV which is 720 only, after forcing the ps3 to run at 1080 and it looked like a ps1 game with blockiness... and 520p-ness

I think I am not the only one who might be excited on this info.
Tomb Raider Trilogy FOR ps3. Legend, Anniversary and Underworld.

I liked Legend as it added new gameplay style and looked good. Anniversary because it was a remake of the first one using the Legend engine. Underworld was a bit crap IMO, but I would get this for Anniversary alone.

Looks promising. I haven't been an avid fan of Tomb Raider games since the first two came out in the 90s.

Just picked up Battle Engine Aquila, Star Wars Starfighter and Silent Hill 2 for PS2 for a total of $27. I'm so scared of playing SH2 but do want to because I heard it's one of the best games ever.

It is great, and difficult. I never finished it. I won't spoil it, but you have some fun battles

Out of all of the main Silent Hill Games in the main story arc (Origins, 1, 2, 3, 4, Homecoming) I would have to say that you have chosen wisely as SH2 is the best IMO in terms of balance of graphics/atmosphere/story.

It is good ay.

Incidentally, I have the Silent Hill 2 movie. It's Silent Hill 2 FMV's put together, with some in game footage. Well done I thought. So at least I have seen one ending

Tomb Raider Trilogy FOR ps3. Legend, Anniversary and Underworld.

I am really looking forward to the new "prequel" Tomb Raider game. That trilogy of games was fun, Anniversary probably being the best of the three. Legend was good but the timetrials proved the levels were too short/small.

Since I own all three games on PS2, and I bought Underworld for PS3 for like $10, I'm not sure if I'll rush to get this, but if I can get it cheap with a trade-in I'd consider.

I would be really happy if Tomb Raider 2-4 were recreated with the Legend/Underworld engine. I'd be happy with a PS3 collection and remastering of the those three games too. (I never liked TR2 that much but TR3 and TR4 are my two favourite games from the whole series).
