[QUOTE="brakel, post: 144535, member: 416"] TPA is modeled/created/coded in 3D. I don't know any way else to explain this. 3D will drop the frame rate in half if the game is running at or near its limit in frames per second because you have twice as many frames to send for the same content. That's why Sony has developers run 3D at 720p on the PS3 because then it doesn't have to reduce the frame rate. 1080p @ 60fps 2D is approximately equal to the same number of pixels sent in 720p @ 60fps 3D. But here's what I'm failing to communicate to well to a few people here. You can upgrade the textures, physics, back glass, everything that you want and when you send the video out it is still the same number of pixels. No one downgrades a game in 2D in order to offer a 3D option. Only the person playing in 3D would possibly have a downgrade in fps or resolution. The game's texture resolution doesn't change, only the output resolution changes. So, FarSight should bring on all the upgrades that should have been in the product at release because once they do that they can still offer us a 3D visual option. [/QUOTE]
