So much for that "free lunch" Cervat Yerli has been hyping. Still, it's impressive that Crytek can get the effect they have for so little overhead. He confirmed that this 3D effect could in fact run on an Xbox 360 and has during testing. |
All crytek has to do is lower the resolution slightly and then use the excellent upscaller that 360 has to make it look good in 3D. Indie developper made a game on Xbox live that you can play in stereo 3D called 3D Infinity. Its using side by side 3D instead of PS3's over/under...but results are the same. If bunch of Indie guys can do this, Crytek should have no troubles...
Also, there really isn't anything impressive about 3D running on 360 if its running on PS3. Consoles have very similar 3D capabilities. In fact Xbox has an advantage...
360's embedded 10MB ram help it greatly when it comes to frame buffers which is what 3D essentially is. Video card is also better on the 360 and unified ram doesn't hurt either. All of those things are essential for 3D gaming much more than raw CPU processing. When I game in 3D on the PC, my vide card is running 95% of its capacity, while my cpu is idling at like3 0%...
The only advantage PS3 had for 3D is that it had HDMI 1.3 since that can push 1080p 3D badwith while Xbox has 1.2 which can push 720p 3D max, but considering that 3D on PS3 is locked to 1280x720 @60hz, that does not matter anymore.
I said it before...Microsoft has no money to mke off 3D right now and that is the only reason they are not pushing it.
