– MT Framework Mobile being used for Resident Evil: Revelations and Super Street Fighter IV 3D
– Jun Takeuchi couldn’t believe the results they were getting at first
– Resident Evil: Revelations uses common rendering techniques on the PS3/360
– This includes HDR rendering, surface shaders, normal maps, depth of filed, gamma correction
– Motion blur apparently isn’t compatible with 3D
– Motion blur only used in 2D mode
– Up to 2xAA in 2D mode
– Anti-aliasing off in 3D mode
– Graphical comparisons (top image doesn’t have the effect):
Surface shaders, self-shadowing
In a little over two weeks, we will know how much the 3DS will cost and when it’ll go on sale in Japan. But until then, it’s a given that we’ll see different speculation about those two desired details. Today, there is a rumor going around that the upcoming handheld will hit Japanese retailers on November 20. That claim comes from a Keys Factory designer, a company well-known for making different Nintendo accessories, including add-ons for the DSi LL. The designer tweeted the following:
“On November 20th, the 11 goods I designed for use with the 3DS will go on sale simultaneously. Those of you buying the 3DS, please buy them while you’re at it! This will be officially announced on the homepage eventually, lol. Best regards.”
At this point, the November 20 release date is certainly possible. Back in 2004, Nintendo revealed in September that the handheld would be out in early December. The only difference here is that the company would be planning a late November launch for the 3DS in Japan. At least we won’t have to wait too much longer to find out if this rumor is valid!
