Rockstar have yet to make anything publicly known and if this is true then we can only assume that they ran into frame rate issues during testing and had to make compensations to the resolution. Apparently on the Xbox 360 the game runs at 720p with 2xAA and on the Playstation 3 the res is only 640p. In a conversation this morning it appears that this initial claim was made on the Beyond 3D forums by an industry insider and with the connections on those forums there could be some weight to the claims. Along the way, players will experience the heat of gunfights and battles, meet a host of unique characters, struggle against the harshness of one of the world’s last remaining wildernesses, and ultimately pick their own precarious path through an epic story about the death of the Wild West and the gunslingers that inhabited it.Rumours via the grapevine have reached us that the massively anticipated Red Dead Redemption (from GTA makers Rockstar) on the Playstation 3 is actually running at a lower resolution than the Xbox 360 version. Red Dead Redemption features an open-world environment for players to explore, including frontier towns, rolling prairies teaming with wildlife, and perilous mountain passes - each packed with an endless flow of varied distractions. A follow up to the 2004 hit Red Dead Revolver, this game tells the story of former outlaw John Marston, taking players on a great adventure across the American frontier. Red Dead Redemption is a Western epic, set at the turn of the 20th century when the lawless and chaotic badlands began to give way to the expanding reach of government and the spread of the Industrial Age.

Rockstar's ode to the Wild West proves, once again, that no one does open worlds better.
