On the PC, you have hardware fast enough to render games at 120 FPS so you can play games in 3D at 60 FPS. The consoles aren't nearly as powerful (remember, these machines are 5+ years old) so lots of visual compromises have to be made to maintain a playable frame rate.]]>May 11th 2010 2:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/Finally some 3D love for my 360's!

Too bad you cant 3D game with current titles, Id be ecstatic for some Halo Reach on 3D steroids!

Either way, LG just won my vote for my next Big Screen...cant wait to see what comes out....Natal in 3D? lols]]>May 11th 2010 3:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/
The performance drop isn't usually that drastic - textures and objects themselves are all stored on the memory whilst being rendered, so they dont need to be processed 'twice', they're just rendered twice based on their relative locations. AI and phsyics also take up other resources and they don't need to be relaculated (of course thats dependant on the system and how it handles with those sorts of things). The actual hardware rendering, although a big part of the overall FPS, it isn't all of it. Your FPS is a result of all the factors combined as they have to be processed simultaneously.

The actualy drop in FPS varies on the platform. On a PC you're talking a drop by about 30-40% typically in my experience - but it also depends on your system specs too and the software running to process the 3D. ]]>May 11th 2010 3:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/
Wouldn't have minded some 3D Alan Wake or Forza 3, but I kinda wish this was staying with the PS3, just feels like it belongs there...]]>May 11th 2010 3:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/May 11th 2010 3:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/
If your rendering pipeline is properly designed you already have all of the geometry, culling, shadow-maps and shaders in the GPU memory. You've also already done all the deformations and tessellation. So all of the heavy lifting has been done you just have to run the shaders. A properly optimized rasterizer should only take a 20% hit in performance. You can also reduce your super sampling slightly since your eyes will sort of combine the images into one higher resolution perceived image. ]]>May 11th 2010 3:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/http://j.mp/natal-ms-impression]]>May 11th 2010 4:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/May 11th 2010 4:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/

There is no reason you shouldn't be able to. [play in stereoscopic 3D with existing titles]
Third party drivers have been making this possible on the PC for any Direct3D game since 1998. And XBOX games use the same Direct3D API as the PC.
It isn't *perfect* for existing titles, for example depending on how the game does things, you may often get a double image on HUDs. But most games should be playable as is if they do it right.]]>May 11th 2010 12:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/May 11th 2010 2:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/

Oh, I know it's just marketing ... I just don't care for LG products. I would've preferred they went with Panasonic or Samsung.

I'd like to know if this Xbox 3D gaming will work on non-3D TVs as long as you have the proper glasses (albeit at a loss in quality compared to the 3D HDTVs).]]>May 11th 2010 3:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/
It makes perfect sense that they chose LG. PS3 already has Sony to do the 3DTV thing, and the other Japanese manufacturers wouldn't touch the Xbox 360 with a ten-foot pole given it's decrepit sales performance in Japan. It makes no sense to cross promote the dead horse that's the 360 in Japan. I seriously doubt LG would bother with the attempt.]]>May 11th 2010 6:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/following the storyyy

My question is, wtf does the TV have to do with 3D?

The TV is only displaying the picture being pumped out to it, and if the signal is being pumped out in 3D, it will display a 3D image.

Then again, I really don't understand how "Avatar" was so "ground-breaking" either.]]>May 11th 2010 10:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/May 11th 2010 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/May 11th 2010 2:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/May 11th 2010 2:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/May 11th 2010 2:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/11/xbox-360-3d-gaming-a-reality-with-lg-partnership/

Look at the picture again, LG wants to sell you a 3D tv. The photo also contains two gentlemen who clearly cannot speak the same language, and have never touched a video game system in their lives.
