3D PS3 Games Limited To 720p

Those of us, looking forward to 1080p 3D games will be disappointed, as it appears we wont be getting them, games that are natively 1080p, will have a downscaled 3D version, this problem isnt a hardware limitation, it is due to Sony's guidelines on 3D games.

Sony representative Simon Benson confirmed this during the Develop conference, here is a quote of what he said:
Sony's Simon Benson explained during a demo of the technology at the conference. While the PS3 is capable of displaying a 1080p 3D image -- indeed, it will support 3D Blu-Ray movies at that resolution later this year -- Benson said upping the resolution comes at the expense of the silky-smooth 60 frames per second available at 720p (Blu-Ray movies run at 24 frames per second). Benson said that a "more cinematic game" might be well-suited for the lower frame rate and higher resolution, but that Sony's current guidelines for 3D games wouldn't allow for such a setting.

The effects of this policy are probably unnoticeable to most gamers. Benson said that, in 3D, even trained computer graphics artists could barely tell the difference between the resolutions.
