What Call of Duty: Black Ops 3D Means to Sony

StrengthGamer: "In May of this year (2010), Microsoft partnered up with LG to support 3D games. Right now you could go out and buy a 3D HDTV and a copy of Batman: Arkham Asylum on the Xbox 360 and be playing in 3D. Problem was, that was the last we heard of Microsoft heading in the 3D direction. That is of course until today, when they announced Xbox 360 support for one of the biggest titles of the year, Call of Duty: Black Ops. What does this mean for Sony?"

[Zir0]

3D could always be done on the 360, there are plenty examples of it already. Sony is pushing it more simply because they have TVs they want to sell.

[Longrod_Von_Hugendon]

So MS was first with 3D now. lol Post up some of these examples that use a 3D capable set and not just the specs. thnx

Sony is pushing this technology because it adds another positive element to gaming!

I don't think anyone ever said the box couldn't do 3D so I don't know where all this is coming from unless xbox-ers thought that it really couldn't and they're in shock.

The box will never do 3D in 1080p like GT5 (guaranteed!) or like KZ3 that will incorporate 3D the tech into their online multiplayer. Yeah that's right their multiplayer. :P

[jony_dols]

To all the people who have disagreed with Von H, please justify it it with credible sources........

Thought so.

[thrust]

the ps3 will not do GT5 in 1080p and 3D.

[adram]

did sony ever said that they were the only one that have 3D??
crysis 2 was annonced to have 3d for 360 too.

[Meisadragon]

but it has hdmi 1.2 so there is a limit for the bandwidth for true stereoscopic 3d.

What a flamebait article, if 3d takes off its good for sony they can sell TVs, like they give a shit if ps3 does it or not

[eX-GREED]

This is good, isn't it?

[RedDead]

God forbid the futile 360 actually has 3D aswell!!!

...

[xAlmostPro]

not really.. just because 360 can do 3D.. sony are still sort of leading the way for 3d gaming(in consoled before i get destroyed by a force of pc fans xD).. i mean.. either way sony are going to generate 3dtv sales for either ps3 and 360 users..

sony and the ps3 are PUSHING 3d wheres as microsoft and the 360 aren't, yeah theres multi-plat games being made with 3d support.. but its not a feature being pushed or hyped by microsoft.. when console users talk 3d its gonna be the ps3 thats more known for it..

[RedDead]

I get it....just like the 360 is known for it's online capabilities?

Or maybe I should just kiss my bubbles good bye

[Solid_Snakeps3]

That´s what Big Boss said in MGS4...

[eX-GREED]

Yup Epic...

[shazui123]

Isn't it that the 360 and ps3 both support stereoscopic 3D however only the ps3 supports alternating eye 'shutter glass' 3D due to it's use of HDMI V1.3 vs the 360's HDMI V1.2?

[killzowner]

The 360's HDMI 1.2 doesn't have the bandwidth for it. It's a shame because shutter glass ttechnology is actually much, much better than stereoscopic 3D

[etownone]

wow ... this is great news. 3D was one of the advantages PS3 had over the 360, and now thats gone.

Either way, props go to SONY for pushing 3D, cause if it wasn't for them, MS would have probably waited till next gen.

[The Wood]

i could swear SOME 360 only owners were calling it a gimmick....interesting but yeah. MS and sony both push each other. Its good for us. comp is good

[ArchangelMike]

...seeing as PS3 tech can do 3D better than the 360 due to the better HDMI bandwith. Plus as the article states, they get to sell more 3DTV's and puch through the 3D tech.

I guess M$ finally learnt somehting from the BluRay vs HD-DVD war!!!

[iliimaster]

not really this is great news because now the tech will come stronger and more powerful and cheaper! not only that the tech will develop since the fierce competition will be underway

[divideby0]

just got to LMAO at all those comming out now seeing 3D as a good thang.

just because the 360 may have some sort of 3D implementation.

question to all of the above, has anyone seen it ?

btw what version of HDMI is my 360 using now ?

[raztad]

I know what you mean. It is kinda funny because I'm conviced COD is using the same tricks Crytek talked about at E3 and nobody payed attention it seems.

[visualb]

from a gamer that isn't interested in 3D at all for now, this is...meh

[ThatIrishGamer]

This is merely that 1990's trick of wearing hideous red and green glasses :D:D

Stereoscopic 3D glasses with a 3DTV is the ONLY WAY to experience true 3D in games.

[Nicky7]

How many of you own a 3dtv, one or two?. So why do you all care so much. It's as if the game companies tell you what you should be talking about and you do it.

Why not talk about things that actually are relevant to you, all you talk about is 3dtv's and kinect and move.

Puppets.

[PS3_lifer]

3D computer monitor is very affordable option these days. http://bit.ly/cdyUtw

[Luthiens1]

Because as all tech investment is exspensive it pays to do research. I haven't got 3d yet but it is on the horizon. As soon as them sales hit in Jan I'm bagging the Sony 50" my wife agrees so sorted. Yeah what's up with move, have that as well so it's all relevant to me. Seems just because you can't be assed to work harder and won't buy said Relevant items don't make out no one else is interested!

[The_Claw]

i own a 3d bravia bud, and im really wanting to know if its going to be stereo or that red green stuff.

[Luthiens1]

i have a nasty feeling the cardboard glasses will be included and labelled as 3d. Then when the misinformed play it will be seen as crap and 3d is gonna be talked as a fad. Another underhand tactic there microsoft as i sure havent had my 3d system update yet although only a month to go till black ops release.
edit: my conspiracy theory just got shot down by jasons link below. I was way off the mark, kudos to treyach!

[ThanatosDMC]

After i destroy my bravia, i'll get a 3dtv. Gonna do the warranty switch thing.

[ngecenk]

red blue tech is the shame of 3d technology. its the reason why 3d graphic dead during the 90s. human perception of blue and red is different. only 60-70% at best can enjoy the maximum 3d experience using blue red technology.

honestly i think this is the way ms going to hold (if not kill) the 3d hype, like they supporting hd-dvd but letting it dead. xbox got a strong processor but not strong enough to support shutter technology.

[divideby0]

LG sets are ok.. They are clearly not as good as the Sony XBR line or even the top end of the Sammy line..
For those that recall, MS and Sammy were working together, now MS is working with LG on 3D. Kind of tells you Sammny was not interested in this 3d implementation

[juggulator]

So let me get this straight. When Sony announced 3D gaming and movies it was just a gimmick with people bitching about it being locked @30 fps and 720p. But now that Microsoft has jumped on the bandwagon it's ok and everyone is "excited".

Oh well. Looks like 3D is definitely here to stay.

[Paradise Lost]

That's how it usually works. Sony Innovates, people get mad. Microsoft follows, people praise.

[gamingisnotacrime]

are mostly internet folks. in reality 3D has been praised for a while now

[CGUpdates]

But 3d gaming isn't really much of a step up

[gamingisnotacrime]

and now all those black ops buyers are potential 3D market. Sony knows this is great news, just like they responeded to the 3DS, it draws more attention to the 3D push, and Sony is heading it with 3D production from camera to tv and PS3

[gcolley]

do yourself a favor and go plasma for 3D. unfortunately Sony Fanboys will be stuck with inferior LEDLCD because of those 4 little letters in the middle, below the screen. once again, just as in 2D, plasma trumps in everything but marketing. Sony know this, but it is just an unforeseen disadvantage to focusing on LCD a few years back

[JasonW1972]

I'm amazed by some of the misinformation in this thread. Microsoft didn't push the 3D tech. Treyarch chose to do it. The 3D tech for both systems is stereoscopic. However, the Xbox 360 has to use side-by-side 3D mode which is inferior to the 3D display of the PS3. The 360 has to be set to 720p as well. However, most people will never notice the difference between the two.

Lastly, you need a 3D television for both versions, which almost no one has. Next time go to the source if you want to confirm something rather than just make stuff up.

Jason

I have to give you a bubble buddy. Your post is very informative and quite correct.

[JasonW1972]

Much appreciated!

[Luthiens1]

looks like i too join the list, wow this has raised serious implications for me as 360 was natural choice to buy. thanks for the link mate.

[air1]

All I want at the moment is god of war 3 in 3d! The boss fights would be so damn epic.

U ppl get too damn cought up on specs "780p 1080p" "red and blue" stereoscopic" who gives a sh!t I'm old enough not to feel a shamed for wearing glasses and I can't tell the difference in 780 snd 1080p.

I want it all. I'm getting move this weekend can't wait for kinect and I'm praying for gow3 in 3d.

If you ask me the only gimmick I see are these gamers that are scared to move forward. Seriously how can u not want 3d gaming?! I'm sure it will be much better next gen but I will settle for how ever they both implement it this gen

[Motorola]

When 3D games are on xbox? NOW 3D gaming is cool?? Cmon.. thats pathetic.

[GaMe01]

I know this is off topic but I really cant seem to get the answer.I'm new to this whole 3d,I am aware that theres different versions of 3d and I do understand that 3d affects performance but what does that mean for us gamers that dont use it? will there be 2 different versions or will we all run the same game with the downgraded performance?

Thank you for the help

[jade0732]

Was Arkham Asylum in stereoscopic on the 360 and ps3.?
