Xbox 360 games no longer required to be HD

Way back in 2005 when Microsoft first let the Xbox 360 loose they set a precedent that all games were required to run in a resolution of at least 720p. Well, if Black Rock Studios’ David Jefferies is to be believed (which he is), that is no longer the case.

Jefferies recently went on record to say that Microsoft has just recently given developers to go ahead to develop games that run below a 720p resolution. You’ll make note that we reported to you a while back that games like Halo 3: ODST and Modern Warfare 2 run at a resolution lower than 720p, although those developers most likely got special treatment considering the scale of both titles.

    It’s more about the fun of the game than the graphics anyway, just look at the Wii’s success to see that.
