Over at Eurogamer, someone managed to interview one Dmitry Andreev on LucasArts' new technology, a "framerate upscaler", which is an intriguing little thing conceived in an orgy of love, science, buckets of George Lucas's cash, lateral thinking, and a lack of Jim Ward. I quote:
This intriguing concept potentially offers all the advantages of rendering a console game at 30FPS, along with the visual smoothness and potentially even the crisper response of 60FPS gaming.
30 Mojo Cookie Pirate points to whoever can come-up with the best acronym (SCUMM, iMuse, INSANE, etc) for this thing.

Yes, I have no idea.
By the way, isn't it probably the same thing that a lot of TVs or projectors offer that convert 24fps Blu-rays into a smooth 50fps/60fps format, by interpolating in-between frames? When I play games on my HD-projector, I usually turn this on... to get virtually a smoother framerate, duh.

Also, I have no freaking clue what I just read in that article.
