    Frances_Penfold: reading the article, it felt like they just lowered some details
    and halved the resolution and framerate and voila! The guy said himself
    that porting Wipeout to 3D was relatively easy and straightforward.

    I'm sure Wipeout could run at 120fps in 720p, apparently the geometry is the
    only bottleneck preventing it from happening ... guess what needs to be done
    then? Using the SPUs, those chips are perfectly capable of handling geometries.
    However it's super hard to program for, but Naughty Dog (for exampled)
    managed to put a lot of geometries calculations on the SPUs.

    And EVEN if the PS3 was maximized (but I don't believe it 1 second), then
    how about reducing the geometry, in order to achive the 720p@120fps, which
    would look a lot better ... so it boils down to the amount of work necessary
    to have a proper WO3D, and apparently they didn't want to invest enough
    resources on it => lazy port.

    PS: Okay, damn normally they were supposed to use 340MHz, but only use
    225 then ... but I'd like to see the official frequency for the PS3 transmitter.
