Okay, MazingerDUDE officially became Chandoo's favorite pixel counter

Of course, the 2D mode is being rendered at 1280 x 720 res with MLAA.

Even the alpha channel is cut half (alpha in the 2D mode of KZ3 is quater of the 720P res (640 x 360) as KZ2) creating some horrible aliasing artifacts.


I see a lot more pop ups on 3D as well. (even with the halved res, you'd still need to render twice the geometry with 3D)



Here's a pair of comparison shots between 3D & 2D.

I'd personally take 2D over 3D any day, especially with what the current generation of 3D TV has to offer.

Don't say I didn't warn you lot about 3D

^ The same is with SuperStardust 3D it reduces the resolution from its native 1080p to 720p in 3D mode.

Don't say I didn't warn you lot about 3D

[Shyber]

Naturally. I was wondering what's gonna take a hit.

[Necrokiller]

And that folks, is what 1UP calls, possibly the best looking game EVER!, with or without 3D

Naturally. I was wondering what's gonna take a hit.

Told you sacrifices had to be made...and don't be surprised if it becomes sub-HD

Well, I think we need a new term for that res. Sub-HD is just being too generous :P

[Chandoo]

Lets call it "Teh 3D Effect"

[Shyber]

Let's call it the 3DS reso.
