Converting PS3 Games to 3D

- EuroGamer has an interesting piece on the process taken to convert MotorStorm: Pacific Rift and WipEout HD into 3D versions which are shipping in June.
- In fact, you get those games for free, (well, a demo of MotorStorm,) if you buy a Sony Bravia HX803 3D TV in June, along with PAIN and Super Stardust HD.
- Mostly the resolution had to be dropped in order to render two images, sometimes reducing some of the special effects, (which are no longer needed when viewing a 3D image,) and tweaking game UI to fit in 3D space.

Ya, the reduction in resolution is a downfall to "3D conversion". Best to look for games that are developed with 3D in mind from the beginning...Like Crysis 2.
