   How are HD games made
  I know XBOX 360 supports HD, but how do the developers go about making a game like that?  Are their certain sofware tools that have to be used to achieve a game with HD quality?Thanks.   
  I have no idea, but I always figured they just set the resolution higher than what they run at on regular.  I would guess it just takes a more powerful console in general.I would wait for a reply from someone who actually knows though.   ;Quote:Original post by WitchcravenI have no idea, but I always figured they just set the resolution higher than what they run at on regular.
