[CES 09] Sony: PS3 Might Go 3D in 2010

"Sony Corp exhibited and demonstrated a 3D game and console as well as a 3D display that can sterically show three-dimensional (3D) images at a press conference at the 2009 International CES."

a much as i want 3d gaming, im not going to buy another 3500 buck tv just to do so, i could care less if the ps3 does it or the 360, it doesnt work without the new 3d tv's, let me guess 50 people worldwide will go out and even bother.

[EXCLUSIVEGAMER]

Innovation pushes forward to the next generation.
hmmm, though if you think about it:

"play, b3yonD"
lol. 3D^^^^^

or can also mean play b3yond "3D", which if anyone remembers has already been discussed on ps3 and labeled "4D"

[Sarcasm]

The whole point of the technology is to make it 3D without the required use of a 3D TV. So you would be able to use your LCD or Plasma and let the other hardware (PS3 in this case) do the calculations.

Can someone imagine a game like F.E.A.R 2 in 3D and in 7.1 surround sound? Holy F'in hell that'd be one scary experience.

[Beast_Master]

Rumor is that GT5 will be availible in 3D. it will come with 3d glasses bunduled not require a new TV dummy. It will require HDMI on your PS3 though.

I think if it is true it will sell out the roof. I am not interested in racing games, so I wouldn't buy it but many people would. I think it is a good idea to try it with one or 2 games a year.

[Agent VX]

Oh my gosh... they really should worry about making games run at 60fps with good textures, not this sooooo old 3D crap.

Really, didn't 3D die like 15 years ago???

[rockleex]

They're actually awesome. I saw Beowulf with it, very "eye opening". ^_^

3D died down years ago because it was those red and blue glasses and they didn't work that well. Well, at least not as good as RealD.

[getupahh]

"We used this method for the demonstration simply because we made another demonstration with Real D's projector for business use and decided to use the same glasses for the home-use display. Also, this method displays right and left images simultaneously and was the most appropriate for the LCD panel with a frame frequency of 120Hz or less."

So this is proof that this tech (realD) does not require a 120hz set.
Very interesting. I can't wait to see this on my ps3. :)

[eagle21]

PS3 in 3D!

[ultimolu]

I'm ready for it! :D

[badkolo]

does it require a new 3d lcd or not, that is the question, if it does then it will never become mainstream and is pointless, if you dont need a new 3d tv then im eagerly waiting.

[getupahh]

You do not need a new LCD, if they make the 3D tech that they used for the demonstration (RealD) as the standard for Blueray.

The standard for 3D is now in discussion and will be determined by the end of 2009.

[PPnoPP]

Nah not interested i prefer where Nvidia is giong with their Nvidia 3D Vision glasses.

[CES 09] Micro$oft: xBox 360 Might Not last till 2010 ;)

PS3 owners get '3D'

xBox 360 owners get 'VD'
;-D

[I_am_rushin]

I own a PS3, but I take your bubbles. Just because you have something doesn't mean you have to be a douche and hate on everything else.

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

I took yours to!!!
I can say and think what i like thanks;)
You want me to like Micro$oft??? After reading all this HATE about SONY and the PS3 on the internet??? Er NO!!! ;-D

+ Yeah, Yeah(YAWN) i own all 3 Consoles(Zzzzz) Blah Blah Blah...

[Spike47]

to start out very simple with only certain mini games or stuff that are in 3D and then apply it into full games.

Pretty cool concept but I'm not sure Sony will just jump into it.

[TruthBTold]

Testing will be with some games from the PSN first and see how that goes before developing even bigger games in 3D on Bluray disks. Should be interesting to play some games in 3D.

[Mikelarry]

this is a welcome idead so far as i dont have to shell out on another HDTV.

[floppyfeet]

lol

[TheColbertinator]

Whatever happened to 4D? XD

[ChickeyCantor]

Lol i just made a similar comment in the gamer zone.

I guess you are a fan of openzone now.
Also come see n4g-chat.com sometimes!

[CrippleH]

As long as it's a choice it's a win win.

[gta2800]

But I would say it's innovative to implement this in a way where you actually make it work and it brings a new experience to gaming. Sony has been bringing a lot of innovative things to the table this gen. But these things get overlooked cause the bias media doesn't recognize it as innovation. They always try to find ways to just make it seem like a useless gimmick.

[ChickeyCantor]

Talk about 4D *wink* *wink*

[Ju]

That would be awesome. If that's really true, I might hold off for another year buying a new flat panel. I want a bigger one, but then I won't buy it this year. If they can e.g. just patch that into Motorstorm or GT, man, that's just enough for me to wait. I am guessing they wait for the market to be ready for it, and possibly want to mature this in their dev kits.

[aiphanes]

And the plasmas have always been at 480HZ

120HZ is no the low end.

1080p is the standard from plasma to LCD to projectors..

Next christmas should be interesting....I think we will get some good deals on TVS next black friday 2009..

[Dogswithguns]

i cant wait. bring it now!

[mastemikegee]

that's the whole point here. to have an IMAX experience WITH GAMES in your own living room/bedroom. they have already tested this with GranTurismo.

they said so in another article:

the idea was to make the picture in 3D like they do with certain DVDs and then you wear a pair of glasses. although that probably was only one of the many methods.

can't wait!

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

paving the way for the NEXT gen of consoles. I would love to see some PSEYE games that utilize this tech... would be very awesome!. I wonder if the EYEPET demonstration we seen might run off of this?. I want that EYEPET thing as well, that Sony demoed a while back... I didn't forget about it Sony... it BETTER be coming. The lack of camera support on consoles this gen is depressing... and I've ALWAYS expected more of my cam for my PS3 than my 360, as some very entertaining games came out for the EYETOY last gen!

[40cal]

Eye Pet with 3D would be awesome, I think that the game is coming this year.

[cryymoar]

hopefully we'll see at east one game using this 3D tech before the year is out.
Sony is in it for the long haul,the PS3 is future proof. =]

[Doctor Strange]

Sounds reasonable to seem 3D games to appear in 2010. I hope they find a way to make it compatible with current tv's out now which I think they can.

[RedVsBlue]

As long as this is not forced then it should be okay

[getupahh]

I just thought how awesome this would be combined with the d-box.

http://www.d-box.com/

Can you imagine a home theater set up with 3D blueray and d-box!?!?
It would be like having the Spider man ride at Universal Islands of Adventure in your living room.

This just blew my mind............and it will one day blow up my wallet.
