I might be wrong here, but don't games render things twice when you play splitscreen?

graphics don't take that much of a hit, obviously when you hit 4 players, there's quite a drop in quality
and from what I've heard, the PS3's visuals don't take that much of a hit when it's doing 3D.

I can't imagine that the 3DS is way more powerful than what we've seen, obviously we're yet to see what the system can do properly as it's only been around for a few months, but going off anecdotal evidence from the PS3 stuff, and the transfer of logic from split screen. I'm not sure if it's a 'powerhouse' just yet

I don't think so (Tim).
Or at least I wouldn't believe so. I don't really know how split screen works, but wouldn't it be more convenient to place several cameras around whatever is being controlled rather than to render EVERYTHING multiple times?

Split screen does render everything twice. It's the same exact thing.

Also, in split screen, resolution is lower so it takes less power. But it still takes more power than single screen so either they drop model or texture quality or the FPS will drop.

First of all, LOL at the fact that the 360's graphics are somehow out of date, but the PS3's aren't. These two systems are really much closer in power than many people care to acknowledge. The 360 has it's fair share of equally beautiful games to the PS3's library. I'll take my PS3 over my 360 9 times out of 10, even I simply don't use my 360 all that much these days, but the amount to which people attempt to create a division between them in terms of power is laughable. The PS3 IS more advanced as an overall package, but graphically neither system is much more capable than the other.

On the point of the 3DS rendering everything twice. That's not necessarily the case. There are methods of creating a 3D image without duplicating the image.

Yeah guys, good idea, let's try and encourage Sypher to post even less. Fucking stunning plan that. Hear that noise? It is the sound of my jaw hitting the fucking floor at this brilliant motherfucking plan.



Flavio hates you all.

I just really don't care for 3D, I can do without and just stick to my HD tv...
