The suit, filed by a gamer by the name of Douglas Ladore in U.S. District Court in California yesterday, claims that gamers "quickly noticed and complained that Killzone's multiplayer graphics were blurry to the point of distraction." This is despite Sony having claimed the game would offer "'1080p' multiplayer graphics, a crowning achievement in the video game industry," and having even featured the 1080p figure on the game's box.
Ladore is seeking to prevent Sony from continuing to advertise the game as being 1080p, and is looking for damages--to the tune of more than $5 million.
I don't think this guy gets it. When the box says "1080p", then it means it supports 1080p quality, not the full resolution stretch.
Buuuut this America, and it's part of his freedom to be a jerk about it...
While normally I'd probably be all for a company receiving its just deserts for such actions, technically, Killzone is "1080P" even if its not what people might've expected, so Sony didn't exactly lie about it.
At any rate, Mr.Ladore kinda missed the boat on his lawsuit, considering he bought the game six months after launch, and appearently is just now suing three months later. His claim that they "tricked" 2mil. people into buying Killzone is flawed and ancedotal at best, since he obviously has no evidence to prove it. This seems to me he just wants his 5 minutes of fame, the guy just wants attention and maybe a quick buck. Or at least I hope so, the alternative is hes actually this naive.
For starters, this whole resolution debate is total bogus.
Sneak into anyones living room and set their consoles to 720p without them knowing, and most of them wont even notice it. Those that do notice and / or complain about it are tech enthusiasts who are not there for the game, but to rub their beep against all the high res, high poly graphiX...
Why didnt he already sue GTA V ? The multiplayer also paled graphically compared to the single player. Textures were downlampled, some vanity stuff in the backround was missing etc. But the box didnt read "WARNING - Multiplayer may look more beepy compared to the single player"
But stuff like that is the reason that peanut tins warn people that they MAY contain peanuts.
Whats next ? Sueing nintendo for the claim "Mario is back" because he was never really gone ?

LMFAO !!!
i also sign the rest of your statement. tbh i think most people don't even notice the difference between 30fps and 60fps. at least i never have. years ago no one talked about that.
What has this come too. In a world where we can already sue for just about anything now this is happening. First Aliens and now this. Lawyers are to blame for this and not the people suing. They will take anything to earn a dollar and a reputation.

This is the problem with this generation of gamers. We've all gotten WAY too caught up in graphics, frame rate, resolution and the like that we've resorted to suing, raging, and boycotting over the smallest differences compared to what the companies state that game features.

This doesn't really have to do with gamers, as (if you haven't heard of this before, I'd be really surprised) McDonald's was sued because it's coffee was too hot and it hospitalized someone. Anybody will sue anybody over anything.
My SD Card with the game on it is just as physical as your cartridge with the game on it.
I love Nintendo, that's why I criticize them so harshly.
