First 3D PS3 Game Goes Live

TSA writes: So, that’s the PS3 playing the first 3D game: Super Stardust HD. Yep, seriously – if you’ve got a 3D TV set, delete the game and redownload it, and it’ll be in full 3D.

[GWAVE]

It begins.

I'll take 3D instead of Move or Natal any day of the week.

Why?

Because I can actually play hardcore gamers...

[bjornbear]

female hardcore gamers or male hardcore gamers? just asking xD

consider Move might have hardcore games too

[rockleex]

I bet Killzone 3 will also have Move support, if you read their interviews carefully.

The Last Guardian seems like a PERFECT FIT for Move.

Imagine playing ICO and SOTC HD collection with 3D + PS Move!!!

Demon's Souls 2

To cast a spell, you move the Move in a certain motion.
Etc.

[Anarki]

Most "hardcore" games have been said to support move and 3d... making your point invalid

[Umbrella Corp]

Hahaha check mate indeed
bubbles up

[UnwanteDreamz]

Something being "said" to do something is not confirmation of it being able to actually do it. Your comment is based on speculation making your point invalid.

Not that I disagree but I thought while you were being pompus I could too.

[Mo0eY]

Whoaaaaa, 3D!!!

[Darkstorn]

I'm wondering if this 3D works on cheaper 120hz TVs, or do we have to get the fully 3D HDTVs to utilize it.

[hoops]

Nope. You need a new TV entirely

[sikbeta]

It's Already Begun...

3D Gaming FTW!!!

[bjornbear]

I don't know I haven't played it, but it looks really good and the reviews back it up.

good start, too bad I will not be following the 3D movement just yet, it still isn't rock solid! =/ but i have faith in it =D

thanks guys, bubs. I might check it out for the hell of it =3 miss me some shooters =D

[DethWish]

Its fkin awesome :)
Especially co-op

[cliffbo]

@DethWish

have you actually played SuperStarDust HD in 3D ? if so can you tell me what resolution it is running in please or anyone else who has played the 3D version

[raztad]

@cliffbo

Super StarDust 3D is 720p. Havent played it but it is well documented. I think Eurogamer has a tech interview about it.

[Ju]

It's 720p in 60Hz in 3D (or 1080p @ 60Hz without 3D).

I seriously got a disagree for that, really ?

[radphil]

@Ju

There's people that just love to troll the thumbs down thing. Look at how everyone has 1 disagree for no reason.

As far as the 3D move, I'm all set and ready for it, the TV and 3D glasses I have from the theaters. :p

[YourFlyness]

Far from gimmick, It is a great game without 3D

[nycredude]

This game kicks major ass! In 3d will be unreal. So much going on at once on screen!

[kharma45]

Agreed with all of the above.

SSHD is a brilliant game!

Just thinking, it's the first to go 3D and was also the first to have trophies if I remember correctly?

[DethWish]

Uncharted was first.

[TheHater]

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune was the first disk base PS3 game to be patch to support trophies. However, SSHD was the first PS3 game to be patch for trophy support with the release for firmware 2.4

[kharma45]

Cheers dude, was pretty sure that SSHD was the first to get trophies.

[TheHater]

to me is the best PSN game available right now. I fricken love that game

[Hideo_Kojima]

fat princess is also great.
But in 3D this game will be sweet because the planet will seem to be floating between you and the TV :D

[Biggest]

I actually prefer Everyday Shooter. I'm not a big rock/folk/whateverthehellthatm usicis fan and that game not only made me pay attention. . . I actually enjoy the shit. Add the small (read: one person) dev team and the difficulty factor and it makes a game that I love. But most of the PSN games like that are more than worth the money. Flow, SSDHD, Blast Factor, Flower, and even Super Rub-A-Dub have a place on my hard drive.

[Remmulak]

Super Stardust is a fantastic game. Custom soundtracks are a bonus as well. I would love to try it in 3D, I am sure it would be amazing.

[-Alpha]

SSD is an absolutely great game. It has a very simple but addictive gameplay. It's pretty much the answer to Geometry Wars, but with notable difference. I also find it very underrated. It's very intense, and a great distraction that has a lot of depth. Along with Wipeout HD it's a gem on the PSN store.

My only complaint is that split-screen and extra modes were priced as DLC and were a little overpriced but now they bundled all of them together into a nice, affordable, and value package. Buy it.

I feel like playing it now. It would look awesome in 3D the more I think about it. Oh yeah, my high-score is really high lol. I believe it's around 50,000,000 but I could be off entirely. What about everybody else?

[Shadow Flare]

I've got 198,884,150, and i've never been able to beat it since. I must have been high on red bull when i got that score

http://s986.photobucket.com...

[-Alpha]

Holy Hell O_O

Also, is it just me, but why is it that when I die, my next deaths imminently follow within a few seconds or minutes after the first one?

I can spend an hour without dying, then I'll die once, and then never recover from it lol. It happens every time. I think I lose my zone and just get nervous. It's an awesome game though.

[Shadow Flare]

yeah i get exactly the same thing. In fact whenever i play it now, if i die, i just quit the game. Because i have the same problem, once i die, i'll die again and again. To get the high scores though, you need to have a really good run on your first life. Once you die, you lose your multiplier and its almost not worth carrying on. But its definately one of the best games on psn. I'd encourage everyone to get it

[PS3Freak]

How much is this game?

[Ju]

I think my highest was somewhere between 34-45M. That's an awesome score you got up there.

[madmonkey0]

it is one of the best games on psn, and really addicvtive.

[Marceles]

SSHD was one of the best games ever on PSN when PS3 first came out. It was the very first game with trophies, the game that shut game journalists up about PSN having no good games, and threw Geometry Wars off its high horse. I gotta check my high score again, I 100% the game but forgot how far I got.

[BeaArthur]

Maybe I'll check it out the next time I need a TV.

[feelintheflow]

congrats to the 1% of people in America that have a 3d tv, as for me, I just purchased my 55 inch led 6 months ago, don't see me dropping another 2-3 grand for a few more years.

[bangoskank]

How many of us can really afford a 3D television? I just bought an HDTV two years ago. Not ready to shell out that kind of money again any time soon.

[BeaArthur]

I can afford a 3D TV but I'm not going to pay that much for a TV especially when I don't need a new TV. I can think of a lot of other things that I can use that money for.

[M-Easy]

Sooo tempting to use credit to buy a 3DTV but it really isn't worth the price yet. Don't be 1st, be smart!

[bangoskank]

it is tempting but we've all felt that wrath of credit card companies after convincing ourselves that we can pay these things off with no problem if charged on our credit cards. You just end up paying more due to interest and other bullsh!t fees. Nothing but a headache. I'll wait until the tech is perfected and evolves into something better. Maybe I'll have a better paying job by then.

[nycredude]

I can afford one but I will jsut get a smaller one for now until the larger ones drop in price.

[bangoskank]

It seems like a waste to buy a small 3d television if you can afford a large one. I don't think you'd feel the same sense of immersion but more power to you, dude. It's your money to spend.

[kharma45]

Immersion is the big thing for 3D, that's why there aren't any less than 40" yet in the UK.

Bigger the better for it, at 8 feet it's recommended you have at least a 46" if not a 50" panel to make the most of 3D irrc.

[Death2494]

You can buy a 73inch Mistubishi 3dready 1080p tv for about $1,299.99. I'm actually waiting on the reviews to come in from either Sony's 52HX900 or LG's 55LX9500. Both of these set are Full LED back lit. Sony's set can run up to 240hz, and LG's set can run up to 480hz. LG's TV seems like it'll be cheaper, but Sony's picture quality is unmatched. Just save up for 3d in my opinion. I won't be adopting a 3d set until probably next year. By then we will be seeing TVs that don't require the glasses.

[BYE]

It's not like they're ridiculously expensive. If somebody needs a TV right now he might aswell go with 3D instead of a regular one.

[Malebaria]

Indeed,I´d rather wait for a 3d TV without the need for glasses. Reckon 2-3 more years?
Excellent game nonetheless!

[M-Easy]

More like 5, but then you won't be able to afford the 1st Gen stuff so you will have 3D in 8 years.

[callahan09]

Everything I've read about glasses-less 3D sets says that there are "sweet spots" in viewing angles where you can see it in 3D, and if you're not sitting at one of those sweet spot angles, the picture won't look right. Personally speaking, I don't like the sound of that. It limits the number of people who can be watching the screen at once, and it limits where I can sit and view it, which is kind of an issue for me because I'm a bit antsy and move around a lot when I'm watching TV/movies, or playing games, shifting around and stuff. Until they can make a glasses-less set with 3D that looks as good as the shutter-glasses effect looks, without having limitations on viewing angles, I will ignore that technology as "not ready for primetime." And it will likely be a lot longer before sets like that are ready than it will take for shutter-glasses 3D tv's to become de facto technology for most sets the way 1080p is now.

[nycredude]

M-easy is right unless you want to pay 5,000 for a glasses less 3d tv in 5 to 7 years you will not experience it until close to a decade. If you are at all interested in 3d why deprive yourself for that long. Besides unless you are sitting directly in from of the tv glasses less 3d won't work. In 8 to 10 years you might not even care about gaming anymore!

If you live to 100, a decade is 1/10 of your life!

[Ju]

There are some things going on with glass less 3D.

How I understand it, they use some sort of "multi-degree" projection with each pixel. Imagine, they split the field of view into pieces. As such you have multiple "sweet spots" for each angle.

Now, consider this an "angular" resolution. The more you can split that, the more sweet spots you get.

What they try to do is, to increase this "resolution" to actually make it seamlessly. And voila, you get glass less 3D.

That's the theory. Basically, they will have to create some sort of a 3D pixel (emitter) on the screen. I am not sure how they break this into multiple angles. With some prisms or something. I think they can make 12 angles or so, you can imagine, pumping this up to say 180 ( say, you can watch from the side, and one step every angle) is tricky.

Someday they might figure out how to create such a "perspective" splitter. It must be tiny, though. One for each pixel.

[UltimateIdiot911]

First to get trophies and 3d. What other first will this game achieve?

[mastemikegee]

cross-game chat?

[mrv321]

Move... actually yeah I said that as a joke but thinking of it how great would it be.

Use the subcontroller to move the ship and the move controller to aim.

[NYC_Gamer]

i'll wait til 3d gets cheaper and standard without glasses...

[SIR-DARK-HAZE]

news. I could act like other people and say 3D tv is crap it's just a gimmick because i dont have the money at the moment but i wont. Hopefully the rents will pay if they dont i'll wait. GT5 and KZ3 should look brilliant in 3D. GT5 has been confirmed, correct?

[SLEDGE]

Just tried to do it with the Samsung Syncmaster 2233, that's 3D ready monitor and is also sold as a bundel with the Nvidia 3D stero glasses, and it didnt work.

Reason behind it is no matter what resolution you run on the PS3, the screen will max go 60hz(out of 120<- must with the nvidia glasses).

Really bummer :\
I might get me a 3D tv next year, but until then I'll stick with my 46" :p

[Nodoze]

It was the first game with trophy support, and now it is the first 3D title. Good going Housemarque....now please release SSHD 2 PLEASE!!!!

[OpenGL]

Yeah, it was the only game that had trophies on release day of firmware 2.40.

[Kurisu]

I was obsessed with this game when it introduced trophies! As I've never owned a 360 to get achievements so it was all new to me. I wish I could be obsessed with the game in 3D but unfortunately I won't be getting a 3DTV for a long, long time.

[OpenGL]

Yeah, I would like to try out 3D with this game, but I'm currently not ready to throw down a few grand on a 3DTV.

[Idid not murder him]

Only on PS3.

[kr9091]

I'm surprised Sony already released a 3D game! I guess they are really serious about 3D! Killzone 3 is going to be epic!

[coojo]

Now I need Samsung 3d led tv

[darkdoom3000]

Dammit. Now I want one. :(
