World's First 3D TV Games Unveiled

Blitz Game Studios [http://www.blitzgamesstudios.com] is bringing stereoscopic 3D games for the XBox 360/PS3.

In front of an audience packed with members from Sony [http://www.disney.go.com]: Blitz Game Studio's CTO Andrew Oliver revealed the first of the series of games that prove that a humble Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3 can create games that replicate the full HD 3D experience.

In his speech Oliver said, "Many TV manufacturers are already selling sets capable of displaying 3D imagery and we envisage that these sets will rapidly gain popularity as content in the form of movies and games becomes available. Our technology allows for games to run in both 2D and 3D in one version - by simply flicking a 'switch' between them. It really has to be seen to be believed."

He's right, that has to be seen to be believed, as im very sceptical of it, though it do really hope that it is true and will become a new form of gaming, that would be awesome, only bad thing is that horror games wont sell anymore...cause no one would be able to play them without wetting themselfs xD

I liked what Johnny Chung Lee did with head tracking on the Wii. I haven't really researched it lately, but I am somewhat curious if it is getting anymore attention, or if it has improved at all. It'd be interesting to see "virtual reality" games out there.

Jeez Root, you're just pumping out news like crazy aren't you? But no, seriously, good job with the News Contribution job.

Anyways, am I going to have to wear 3D glasses for this?

Well, I will say that the new 3D glasses they've been making actually work, unlike the crappy red-and-blue ones I grew up with.

Hey, you think I got 4000+ posts by just talking rubbish?

Hope I can keep you lot informed/entertained.

Interesting news.
Well, I would want to see it in action. I probably wouldn't play it though. Every attempt at turning things 3D so far caused me massive headaches--damn IMAX theater, etc.

Sounds cool. I might not buy it, but it sounds cool.

Yeh! Now my one eye brother will no longer be gaming because he will see everything in doubles.

No, you got them by talking Doctor Who.

You do have a point. But I have a special surprise lined up for my Xmas Report.

If your talking about the new polarized 3d glasses they hand out for the 3d cinema movies they do seem to work, but only when something pops off the screen which doesn't happen very often. I have only seen journey to the center of the earth with them though so that is all I have to base my opinion on. They also strained my eyes fairly badly, don't think I could spend more then an hour or two with them on at a time.

Why didn't MS have people there and Sony did?

Thanks Root, you're doing an awesome job with the news.

I've never heard of Blitz and I'm always skeptical when a company I've never heard of claims an innovation in gaming.

Now this could be exciting... or turn out a complete failure. Just have to wait and see.

About that: Please remember that the BBC Doctor Who Christmas Special is not worldwide, no matter how much I plead with both the ABC and the BBC, and most of us won't see it til mid-winter. So, please no spoilers, no ZOMG PRINCE HARRY IS THE NEW DOCTOR, or something like that?

Well, point 1 : The Christmas Special will be netwide [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/mediatechnologyandtelecoms/media/3525327/BBC-broadcasts-BBC-One-and-Two-live-over-internet.html]
Point 2: Doctor Who is a serious business. Do you really think I'd spoil it?
Point 3: ZOMG! HE IS??
