Found this the other day and went back to re-read it again this morning.  It's quite a good read a throws up a huge point that I don't think has been covered before yet on here?

Is Motorstorm Apocalypse going to be running at 1080p?

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-10-03-bollocks-does-3d-hog-cpu-evolution

It seems at the moment they are running at that resolution although they won't guarantee it will be in the final game, can this be backed up with screenshots and pixel counting etc?

I played on it and can't see why they would have to downgrade the graphics it worked beautifully at quite a nice fps as well

Did it look 1080p, i've only seen off screen gameplay and can't gauge if its 1080p

yes, it does.

Glasses 3d halves a game's framerate, and so if a developer wishes to double the framerate so that it is back to normal after being halved this obviously requires more of the CPU 

Glassesless 3d halves the resolution - in the 3DS's case it halves the number of columns of pixels that the screen can display, and again if you want to double the resolution this requires more of the CPU

3D hogs the GPU a lot more than CPU but CPU has to be adequate as well. No Ps3 game will be running 1080p 3D ever...

2 reasons:

1. TV's which work with PS3 do not show 1080p resolution for gaming

2. PS3 has issues running 720p in 3D. Motostorm game in 3D is not anywhere close to 720p.

If a game runs in 1080p in 3D, you are seeing 1080p/2 per eye and it really isn't 1080p.

For  game to run in full 1080p in 3D, PS3 has to render it at 1920x2160. Too bad that if a game even runs at that resolution, none of the 3D TVs available can display it at 60 hz. full 1080p res like that is only for Bluray which runs at 24 frames per second.

Good read.

I think nearly everone I talked to (and myself) did notice a difference resolution wise between the 3D mode and the normal mode, but it was not a bad thing as there was just too much awesomeness going on, like buildings falling etc, can't wait to see the full version!!

Just a thing to note that 3D games on the 3DS will also take a hit graphically, so stop complaining already

Not even Pong HD?

Correct...The current 3D TVs can't show Pong in 1080p 3D. Only 720p...unless you want it running at 24 frames per second.
