3D would have been pretty cool, you guys

3D Gaming would have been really cool if it stuck around long enough to be a standard.

Maybe it'll catch on in 25 years when they try to make it mainstream for the fourth time.

decrypt3456d ago (Edited 3456d ago )

Yea you hardly hear console makers now talk about 3D. Well they tend to run their mouths on many things, for instance they been talking about 1080p gaming since last gen, yet still cant completely deliver on it. They will probably need another gen to get there after 2 decades of trying.

I have 3x 3d monitors in an eyefinity setup. It requires a monstrous setup to drive them (3 x GTX 780s oced), but dam the effect of 3d running across 3 monitors at 60fps is mind blowing.

Specially its cool PC can do 3D on just about any game ever released. I love Left4Dead running in 3D.

TardcoreGamer3456d ago

Problem was Sony and the industry in general pushing the tech out the door prematurely. PS3 didn't run games fast enough for 3D to be a good experience. A frame rate of 120 is par for the course with 3D (60fps for each eye).

Also issues such as "cross talk" with the shutter glasses were not addressed with first gen 3D TVs pissing off early adopters, like myself.

ramiuk13455d ago

while 3d looked cool in gaming,i couldnt get my head round it.
things felt to 3d that i couldnt sense depth or something,i not sure what it really was i struggled with but even after few hours i was getting wupped online.

i think the problem is the screen side of it is easy and quite cheap yet the power to create the game in 3d at an aceptable resolutuion and framerate is expensive and that cost on consoels i would expect to be another 10 years away to make 1080p in 3d gaming @30/60fps

badz1493455d ago

I would have love for 3D to stay. the PS3 clearly lacks the power to run 3D games at their full glory but couldn't change the fact that MS Apocalypse was amazing in 3D and some other games too. I hope we didn't see the last of 3D yet.

2cents3456d ago

I hope it doesn't die off.

I just bought the Samsung H6240 48" LED 3D for £550 from argos yesterday. haven't even taken it out of the box!

Cant wait to hook it up to the PS4 and X1, I've wanted a decent panel for a while now and this one seemed the best for the money for 2D, having 3D was a great bonus for me as I never really considered it before. it has that 2d to 3d conversion feature and I'm itching to see how bad of a headache it gives me on Halo MCC :)

I'm sure there are some indie devs out there who could try something in 3D with a smaller game. Well... I hope so.

mixelon3456d ago

The only ps4 game I know to have full 3d support is Trine2. Enjoy your TV. :)

Resogun really should support it given how well it worked in Stardust, but I don't think it does! :(

FriedGoat3456d ago

Trine 2 On PS4 can run in 3D and also Pinball FX. Although the other Pinball game on PS4 is much better.

2cents3456d ago

Thanks mixelon & FriedGoat!

I didn't know of those. I think I will have to check them out, if only to say I have tried 3D gaming on a home console :)

bigbearsack3455d ago (Edited 3455d ago )

Sniper Elite 3 is in 3d as well. (ps4)

ramiuk13455d ago

3d films will continue to be made so its not a total loss.

3D is always cool at first when it's reintroduced. In the end, most people don't want to hassle with special glasses most of the time and always go back to 2D

filchron3455d ago (Edited 3455d ago )

weve had glasses free 3D since 2004. trouble is people dont want to focus on 1 glasses free 3D screen technology and that stops progress because you have every company making their own proprietary glasses free 3D tech instead of refining an idea that works (new screens out now have a full 160 degree viewing angle before the image breaks up).

filchron3455d ago (Edited 3455d ago )

Auto-stereoscopic displays that are coming out soon will play an even bigger part in gaming than 4K displays. if they dont i will have lost all faith in game companies.

filchron3455d ago (Edited 3455d ago )

@GreenRanger pff try 2. most companies are bringing out auto-stereoscopic displays by 2017 if not sooner. in 25 years there probably wont be any 2D displays left as holographic lightfield displays (which the military will be using AS STANDARD by 2016 http://www.businesswire.com... will be ubiquitous and can show full 3D to even the most cockeyed of inbreds (the main naysayers of the technology) if you think holographic 3D isnt going to be a big part of the very near future then you've got some big screws loose buddy.

If they solve the problem of eye strain and fatigue, 3D may catch on. As of now, I don't see it being used anywhere else except movie theaters.

GryestOfBluSkies3456d ago (Edited 3456d ago )

eye strain is only a problem in active displays. i have bad passive 3d sets for years now, and ive never heard a single complaint about it. active 3d tech, with its eye strain, expensive glasses that need batteries, and syncing, killed the 3d movement. its unfortunate because 3d games and movies are amazing when done right.

FriedGoat3456d ago

Thing is though, Active looks so much better. Passive displays bump the resolution down and just don't have the pop.

I've had a fair few 3D displays and unfortunately eye strain and fatigue are problems with the person, not the display.

GryestOfBluSkies3456d ago

@friedgoat

its unfortunate that 3d didnt come out at the same time as 4k sets. the bump in display resolution solves that problem. i have 4k passive set now, and it looks absolutely incredible

Jdoki3456d ago

I'm not a fan of 3D in games or movies - but I'm glad these tech things come along now and again. It's good when a company tries to be disruptive and change the market for the better. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

madmonkey013456d ago

i tried killzone 3, uncharted 3 and gt5 in 3d, but in the end i just preferred playing them in plain old 2d

FriedGoat3456d ago

PS3 3D was unfortunately terrible. The resolution was dropped because the ps4 couldnt handle it and it just looked plain horrible. Playing 3D on the PC is a whole other story.

Enmson3456d ago

The PS4 couldn't handle it? are there other games out there? i thought Trine 2 was the only 3d PS4 game.

FriedGoat3455d ago

My bad, I accidently typed PS4 instead of PS3.

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor355d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar355d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg355d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149355d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138355d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim355d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC355d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138355d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle355d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix76355d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM355d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730355d ago (Edited 355d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger355d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca355d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy355d ago (Edited 355d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal355d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright355d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

Making Pokémon 3D Was A Mistake

Pokémon’s shift to 3D was a big mistake, as the series’ roots in 2D design make it difficult to transfer important game mechanics into a 3D overworld.

why do other games pull off 3D monster collecting JRPG games just fine? Look at Jade Cocoon and Shin Megami Tensei for examples.

FallenAngel1984500d ago

Answer should be obvious.

No other videogame franchise is as merchandise driven as Pokémon

Nintendo 3DS Games We Still Love Playing Even Today

BLG writes: "While it didn’t sell as well as the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS was nonetheless a wonderful system. And, while this may be a hot take, it’s easily my favorite handheld. Even more than a decade removed from launch, the system’s library has so many titles that feel as fresh today as they did back at release. While it was hard to narrow down, these 30 Nintendo 3DS games are emblematic of the system’s success."
