Am I the only one who doesn't like 3D? "Oh but now it's in HD too!"
You know my personal opinion, HD TVs stopped selling because everyone had one so they figured out a gimmick to sell the world.
Granted some movies have done it well, like Harry Potter using it scarcely to immerse you in action, or Avatar, but until they find a way to rid the glasses element then I'm not in.
Of course there's the Nintendo DS, but $300 for a handheld? No thanks.
And now games like the next Call of Duty and others are being released with 3D integration, but it just makes me wonder what other stuff I would have given a shit about gets cut so that we can have this feature that only a handful of people who own an ungodly expensive 1st generation 3D HDTV can use.
*Sigh*
Oh, right. Just like how standard-def TVs stopped selling back in the 70s because everyone had one.
There's still a bunch of people who don't have HDTVs…
I imagine they cut nothing because the game was already far along when the decision was made to add 3D.
As an aside, I have three PC's (two of them modern gaming PC's), two microwaves, four sound systems (two surround), and four consoles hooked up at this moment in a two-person home. I am the model of electronics excess.
I have -0- HDTV's. Why? Because I rarely watch, and my two normal def TV's work just fine. If I need less pixelation, I'll run something on the PC.
I blame our binocular vision.
That's just silly, you don't get something for nothing. They either added to the budget or cut something to make time to develop the 3D. That's not to say that they explicitly went and cut a specific feature, but one or two of those wish list items that may have made it won't because of this.
Fuck 3D. It didn't really work with those cardboard-plasic thingies for centuries and won't take off now with those even more expensive plastic thingies.
Also fuck Move and Kinect.
You derned kids better git off'a my lawn!
Cevat Yerli would probably say it's almost something for nothing.
cry moar?
Also, isn't this the same kind of poor reasoning that lets people think they would lose an aspect of a game when a team works on code for dedicated servers or LAN support?
Fucking German warlocks.
Lets *EXPLETIVE* an Ipad too!
O wait, you meant in the hate sense.
I would have loved, if they had invested in VR technology instead.
The biggest thing is that your game has to run at a significantly higher framerate than you want to show. Not quite double, apparently, which surprised me. But a good chunk. So a 30fps game in 3d will be too slow to play -- and if you want a 60fps game in 3d, it's going to have to run way faster.
(note that this is for the new 3d tech in TVs, not the 3DS, which I know little about).
So really, your trade off will be lower graphic fidelity in exchange for an effect that likely won't be used in an interesting fashion.
Agree with all this.
If you don't like it, don't buy it/see it. Pretty sure there haven't been many movies released only on 3D, and no movie or game studio is going to switch completely to a certain technology unless it's already got a majority market share or they've got something that'll make that technology become the majority.
3D is this year's gimmick, nothing more. It's the new "blast processing".
Meanwhile, you might be late for your meeting of the Telegraph Enthusiasts Union. I hear they're doing a Morse Code rendition of the latest Prairie Home Companion.
I clicked on this thread hoping for a 2D vs. 3D debate, leaving disappointed.
(For the record, 2D for life!)
On topic, I can't imagine anything that'd get me to invest in 3D, particularly while glasses are part of the equation.
I look forward to 3D television, but without glasses. Glasses are a no-sale barrier for me. Make it work with just the screen in front of me or GTFO.
I bet you don't like hula hoops or poodle skirts either.
Isnt there like 1 out of 10 people who gets dizzy and nauseated when watching a 3D movie with its current technology(Glasses, that is)?
I doubt that will help in the succes.
Microwaves are not a symbol of excess, grandpa.
lol - yeah, but two in one kitchen is a little odd, or so my techo-geek friends tell me. I suppose it's more a symbol of eccentricity :)
I'm one of them. Needless to say, I am not excited about 3D. Well, I want a 3DS, but that's because it's a Nintendo handheld and I can turn off the 3D effect.
So what's the second microwave for?
Movies suck anyway
probably when you don't want to walk to the first microwave
I played a PS3 running 3D Super Stardust and it was cool, but not nearly worth the money and inconvenience. In exchange for a non-gameplay-related effect, I lost the ability to select my veiwing angle and had to wear special glasses.
It's hard to see that as a breakthrough technology.
That and rejecting HD technology. HD is awesome, you are just denying yourself a significantly better viewing experience just to, whatever, stick it to TV manufacturers or something.
