UPDATE: There's a slightly revised version of this video available now! John's taken the opportunity to tweak a couple of errors and add in a couple of games - Motorstorm Apocalypse and the Hexadrive version of Zone of the Enders 2. They're not full Full HD, but there are one thousand and eighty lines of progressive scan content per frame, so they've been added in!

This is it! We're proud to present the latest DF Retro episode: an in-depth examination of PlayStation 3's full HD credentials, a colossal undertaking that turned out to be so much more work than initially envisaged!

In an era defined by sub-HD resolutions and 'challenging' performance, the concept of PlayStation 3 delivering on its promised 1080p 'dream' seems almost ridiculous. And yes, it's true that only a tiny proportion of the library actually rendered at full HD. And yet, in this DF Retro Special, 85 games are tested - and a majority of them target 60fps! John Linneman is on top form here, presenting the lengthiest DF Retro yet.
