Also Sega already did the 3D games with their firs tsystem.
I refuse to use goddamn 3D glasses.You know what's absolutely useless? A video of Wipeout HD being played in 3D, with some schmuck wearing 3D glasses and babbling on about how much fun he's having. Well, that schmuck is this Engadget editor, the video can be found after the break, and we've gotta say: we loved it. Especially for something like Wipeout HD, whose neon-infused tracks make for an almost too convenient example of rapidly approaching vanishing points, we'd say 3D could really be a quasi-"killer app" for consoles going forward -- especially if those fancy new motion controllers don't catch on for Microsoft and Sony. In many ways, 3D just seems to make more sense in a video game than for a movie, and the whole problem of finding content to deliver in the format has already been solved: a software update for the PS3 sometime in 2010 will enable it to provide a 3D viewing experience to "all" existing games on the system. We're sure there will be some exceptions, but it sounds very promising. The console itself pumps out a quite regular signal over HDMI, which the TV syncs up with your 3D glasses. A 200Hz TV, for instance, alternates 1080p frames, with 100Hz for each eye. Of course, you'll need a brand new TV, but at least it won't be restricted to just Sony televisions. Start saving those pennies!

You know what? fuck 3D. Like when I went to go see UP and I was forced to sue the goddamned 3D glasses, they darkened the colors so much the whole movie looked like shit, and I don't know if something is wrong with me or what but through 3 3D movies ive seen at theaters, I couldn't see a single "3D" looking thing. It looked like a normal movie, but with shit for colors because of the 3D "sunglasses" I had to wear.
/rant *breathes*
I don't want 3D games.
What steps are they taking backwards exactly? This is a fairly useless feature for 99% of the planet but it's not like it's holding a gun to your head and forcing you to use it.
As for 3D itself, I saw Superman Returns in 3D (for parts of the movie at least) and it looked pretty neat. I wouldnt want to wear those glasses while playing a 30 hour RPG but I'm guessing some people might.
Please don't take this as an attack, but, maybe you should get your eyes checked? I saw UP and there was a lot of 3D in that film, everything seemed to pop more, and then there was stuff that came right out of the screen at you. Believe me, the non-3D version wasn't the same.
3D doesn't mean that everything flies out of the screen at your head.
I have pretty shitty eyesight (so I wear glasses), and some things wrong with my eyes (weird shaped optic nerves), but I don't think that would affect it. Like, I could see the 3D in the commercials before-hand for Bolt, but I don't think I seen much, if any 3D effects during the movie. Same with Up.
Maybe i'm just weird
I went and saw Coraline and while I could see some 3D it fucked up the colors a lot. The screen just wasn't vibrant like it should be. It was muted and blah compared to without the glasses. The group of friends I went with felt the same and when we saw Up we refused to see it in 3D. And then Coraline on Blu-Ray's 3D option was beyond bad. I couldn't watch more than a scene in it. The colors were just awful and had a weird purple and green tint to them. It just kind of hurt to watch it like that. If 3D gaming starts anywhere near that bad I will not be getting in on that for a while.
Yeah, UP was amazing in 3D. Like Scotty said, not everything flew out of the screen, a lot of it was just showing distance between foreground, middle-ground and background and it gave an amazing sense of depth. The same for Monsters vs. Aliens and the first 15mins of Half-Blood Prince.
The huge thing with this I don't like though is, the game will look like shit to anyone trying to watch you play. You'll need to have glasses on just to watch someone play? That'd get annoying real quick, and I can pretty much say good-bye to having my gf tolerate and watch video games.
But, if you can toggle it and only do it for a bit of fun here and there, it'd be a neat little trick.
I know, the colors in 3D movies, because of the glasses, are just terrible. I seen Ice Age 3 in 2D instead of 3D and it was great. No glasses, and the colors were how they should be. I really feel I would of enjoyed UP more if it wasn't in 3D.
UP looked ok in 3D, would've enjoyed it just as much normally.
Wasted money to see Superman Returns in 3D because none of the good scenes were actually in 3D.
Fuck Sony and this idea.
Quasi-related: They're planning to film a new Resident Evil movie (the Milla Jovovich kind). It will be in 3D.
Yeah, but you need a TV that's made for 3d technology for it to work. Either a TV that has electronic 3D glasses (those hurt my eyes) or a TV that supports Sensio/RealD, the same glasses that you get when you go see movies in 3D. Gaming with those is easier on the eyes.

so I can so I can
play ps3
I'm sure some people will enjoy it.
I'll stick to my dumb computer games and retro-fitted Wii nonsense.
At any rate this sounds optional so I don't see why there should be any fuss about it.
Ah I didn't know that, that's a fun fact.

They would then cost a bajillion dollars instead of just a lot of money.
Wasn't it $100 per pair of glasses under Sony's plan?
Yeah, after a half-century of freebie 3D glasses, that plan won't fly.
Nah, that was just wikipedia. I'm trying to find a price for them other than on ebay.
And for those that can't "see" the 3D effects, things aren't really MEANT to pop right out and be in your face, the best use of 3D is for depth, it adds extra realism and a sense of immersion. Personally I'll be shelling out for a new tv when the opportunity arrises.

Also, does anyone remember pressing select in "Rad Racer" to engage the 3D mode?

Hi5 my non-luddite brother. I've only recently bought a new HDTV so I won't be upgrading yet (Sony's plan of every home having a 3d-capable TV by the end of 2010 is absurd to a whole new level), but I am absolutely for the inclusion of 3D technology in things.
It's not going to be mandatory, people bitching about that need to grow up.
It won't be anaglyph either, that's unreliable and butchers the colours.
I've been to an IMAX twice and both times it was awesome.
The reason you need a TV with at least 120Hz is because the image has to be rendered twice, once for each eye. To get approximately 30FPS, that means you're actually rendering 60 frames every second. This is how Nvidia's 3D goggles for the PC work as well, and whilst they do work, it entails a lot more processing power if you want to use them. If you go less than that (this isn't the first time Nvidia have tried 3D goggles, and whilst it's Sony doing it here, the hardware and the principles at work are fundamentally the same) you're going to for 15FPS, which back in the old days, caused any number of headaches and nausea simply because the picture wasn't smooth.
Most of the high end games this generation have a hard enough time maintaining a steady 30 FPS, quite a few don't, even after they drop the resolution from 720p. Having to render twice as many frames will result in some hefty slowdown, even on older generation games that weren't particularly pushing the hardware. I think a game like CoD4 would probably be guaranteed headache territory until some newer hardware becomes available.
EDIT: Actually I think I got my numbers wrong for the Nvidia glasses. The new ones output at 60FPS (60 per eye, 120 frames rendered total per second), the old ones from years ago output at 30. V-Sync needs to be kept on as well in order for it to work, but that's standard in PS3 games IIRC.
Also, why does shit need to pop out of my tv? That's not very realistic. I'd rather have realistic depth perception, as though rather than looking at a tv, I'm looking out a window into another world.
