What to expect from 3D consoles?
3D is now almost a standard PC and slowly coming to the console. Have we as a PS3 as the Xbox360 and there showed little arkádovky and the Avatar game. In principle, confirmed that it works but also that the video quality is bound to the bottom. The loss of video quality is also confirmed by our Digital Foundry, which tried 3D titles coming to PS3 .
Sony will begin officially in the PS3 to support 3D games in mid-June with the launch of its 3D TV. But even here the 3D has taken its toll. For example, Wipeout HD resolution and framerate will be reduced from 1080p and 720p at 60 fps and 30 fps. Although the engine will have to calculate 60 frames per second, but that they divided into two eyes will be on the 30 fps game. The game now has at the same time produce a 3D picture for each eye, and even a small shift graphics. So virtually everything must be converted again, geometry, shadows, reflector and all effects. While in standard mode, some features could proceed smoothly in what began a few all frames before, now that the authors either have to constantly re-converted to find more memory for caching, or completely abolished these effects.
The authors Wipeout’s easier to have higher resolution and higher framerate, but the standard for 720p games that run at 30 fps, or even less? It shows 720p/30 fps Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, in which the authors have had to go into more detail limiting the engine handle 30 fps for each eye. Dole was in subhd resolution, declined details, polygons, effects.
On the other hand, taking 3D will bring it before the new experience. Specifically, the racingovkách 3D offers a new perspective on the actual ride, where you can better estimate the distance, the dynamics of the vehicle and said that you almost want to play in the view from the cockpit. For example, Gran Turismo 5 arriving in 3D can offer an interesting player to move forward.
Current consoles, while the 3D graphics are often built in 2D and peas IDUs under 30 fps in 720p resolution but apparently now offering the first step in the 3D world. It will mainly depend also on how much they want companies to invest in 3D. Indeed, until the 3D TV extended so that it pays more to invest will take some time. Until then, we expect to add more lower quality modes to better-quality 3D versions of 2D games.
