Aren't games already in 4D? I mean, they have 3D environments and they of course have the fourth dimension, otherwise nothing in the game would move.Keane Ng said:
PS3 Enters the Third Dimension

It will be disorientating and head ache inducing if your head is angled slightly, from what i can get from these details. So you would have to be up right and straight in front of the TV if you want it to be optimal and not like that.
This is an assumption that it will be like the IMAX (darling harbor by the way, biggest screen in the southern hemisphere!) that i have been to. As the description here is similar to how that screen's 3d works...
Also didn't Nvidea(?) do something like this already? but aims to not have these set backs...
other than the fact that it costs heaps.

I thought you could download a certain programm for pc, with which you can play games like L4d with 3D glasses.
Ummmm.... Keane, you made a mistake, it's not a 2000Hz HDTV you need, just a 200Hz. I was suspicious because I've never even heard of a TV running faster than 200Hz. So it's not like we'll all need some mythical TV that doesn't exist yet, most of the current high end sets will do just fine.
I'm happy, this was just the excuse I need to buy a 200Hz tv, I better start saving.

Okay not really however now that you bring this up all I can think of is
I really hope it doesn't end up like that.
Well with the recent advances in 3-D technology it is not surprise some one is trying this. It will most likely be just a gimmick for a while though. A very cool gimmick but but a gimmick non the less, however hopefully once we get used to the idea of 3-D it will just become a step forward. Movies are likely to have a lot more 3-D now too, might be like the advent of colour or might end up like smell-o-vision but only time will tell there.
Considering this is what waggle and motion tech really needs to succeed (give me a reason to dodge!), I was wondering why Nintendo didn't do it. Now hopefully we'll see games that are truely immersive...
If this has anything to do with red/blue 3D then I'm out.
If it's Real-D or similar technology then one more motivation to buy an overprized console, yay!
Games in 3D = awesome.

So if it succeeds, it will put Sony ahead in sales.HT_Black said:
And if it fails...it will put Sony ahead in sales? Cool. By the way, NVIDIA says hi. I don't even have the money for that, so god knows I won't have the money for a PS3, 3D glasses, a 2000+hz T.V. and games.
No, stereoscopic glasses are completely different, check them out.Voodoomancer said:
Either way, it's nice to have, but I would probably buy 3D glasses on the PC before I buy them on the PS3.
Yes because this idea has worked so well in the past without being stupidly expensive. No wait, no it hasn't. Not one bit.
Also do note who's leading the field in 200Hz TVs. Take a Guess.
Well ok besides Samsung.
This really just feels like a "what the fuck is the point" technology step. Unlike motion controls which made sense because arcades were already experimenting with that, this whole stereoscopic 3D venture keeps feeling like a "because it's there" move, even in movie theaters.

If they do this well, then I think the 360 might have some serious competition, especially seeing how a new game that the name escapes me needs HDMI to run 3D, and I don't have HDMI.
If 3d games like Armored Core are soon a reality, I will literally kiss the game developers.
Screw motion controls. They failed me. Time to see what else the industry has.
Though that's in my opinion.

More immersion I guess would be the main argument. While having gallons upon metric tons of blood and arms and legs thrown upon you in 3D in God of War 3 would be totally kick ass, it wouldn't shake the feeling that it's just trying to go "LLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKK!! It's going in front of you!!"AceDiamond said:
Well, if it's God of War 3, I doubt people would care
But I say why not, even if it is a "what the fuck is the point" piece of technology, why wouldn't we try to advance further? Really, why do we need a controller-less peripheral with voice recognition with Natal? Well, why wouldn't we have one? It's just technology advancing, and I see no problem with giving games and 3D a shot, or actually getting a more widely used "EyeToy" esque peripheral (damn you EyeToy Antigrav! You were the only game that used the EyeToy fully!)
