14 DAY TRIAL // By the looks of it, SEGA is looking into full HD graphics and they have reached an agreement with LG in this regard. If you visit LG's booth at the 2007 International CES you will be able to see games developed by SEGA running on LG's Full HDTVs.
Officials of the companies seem very delighted by this agreement: "This joint promotion with SEGA will give LG a great opportunity to highlight our advanced 1080p displays by showing SEGA's Full HD content on our Full HDTVs," said Young Chan Kim, Executive Vice President of Digital Display Global Marketing & Sales of LG Electronics. "Full HD flat-panel HDTVs have the capability of displaying 1080p content, the highest resolution format possible. Our customers demand the highest standards in technology and we will continue to expand our offerings to meet everyone's needs - from movie buffs to gamers to companies in need of digital displays."
They haven't revealed what games exactly will we see running in full HD at the 2007 CES, but my money is on Virtua Fighter 5. But for this, they will have to hook up a Sony PlayStation 3 or a Microsoft Xbox 360 to the LG HDTV. This particular SEGA game is set to be released in February for the PS3 and and in the summer of 2007 for the Xbox 360. My money is on the PlayStation 3 version...
Virtua Fighter 5 was already previewed, but not in full HD. After the Virtua Fighter 5 logo, two new characters were shown, a young girl named Eileen who uses a Monkey Kung Fu fighting style, and a second character confirmed as El Blaze.
It is not a certain fact that Virtua Fighter 5 will be shown at the 2007 CES in full HD, but it would probably look great.
