2013-2015: the final chapter.
It’s the last chapter in one of DF Retro’s most expansive projects yet.
It’s a fascinating story that was alsoone of John Linneman’s first pieces of work for Digital Foundry.
Soundshapes and Guacemelee also caught our eye for similar reasons, as did WayForward’s Duck Tales Remastered.
Cream of the crop isRayman Legends- remember when Ubisoft took chances on stunning games like this?
- which leveraged the UbiArt Framework to spectacular effect, producing an unmissable experience.
2013 drew to a close with a couple of excellent 1080p releases.
Yes, it’s not exactly pushing the envelope with its 2D visuals.
However, side-by-side with its contemporary PlayStation 4 release, we see a PS3 game that is virtually identical.
Both run at 1080p.
Thankfully, users could drop down to 720p via the system menus for a smoother ride.
Beyond that, support for PS3 1080p is fleeting.
The last full HD title we could find?
It’s a bit of an anti-climax, but there it is!
So, at the end of this marathon project, what have we learned?
At may seem like a small amount but that’s more than both Xbox 360 and Wii U combined.
It’s also worth remembering just how impactful 1080p could be across the era.
However, it’s a close-run thing with a notable brace of runners up!
