Patience, Grasshopper. I heard Halo and Gears of War 3 will also support 3D. If more and more quality contents support 3D, there should be better chance in 3D penetration and eventual price drop.

I think Mick Hockings implied that Sony is open to release a 3D version of Vita if it makes sense down the road.

 

Woot woot ! Chanced upon this 3D game website:

Don't shoot me. I have no idea why he or she doesn't maintain a PC 3D game list.

 

Following GameStop's footsteps...

Walmart includes free Resistance 3 with PlayStation 3D Display pre-orders:

I was going to say "nVidia does" but that list is far from exhaustive, and some entries are kind of out of date, for example:

Unreal Tournament 3 is rated as Excellent, however since one of the later patches it's very poor.

Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing is really great in stereo, works flawlessly and adds a lot to the game, however it's not even on their list.

The Elite name returns and with it, very good early impressions from calibrators on it's ability. Nice to see someone actually pick up the torch and try to progress PQ again.

So we're not off topic, it has 3 .

 

I think the venturebeat stuff is about microlens array, and thats nothing new Magic films at it again, comes at a fee, drops resolution, directional backlight is better

BTW nVidia employee dropped the bomb today, said they work on RAGE.

 

'they' as in nVidia worked on Rage?
'they' as in nVision 3D stereo works on Rage?
'they' as in something else?

...also why are any of the above so surprising?

 

yeah, its funny, because Bethesda had the worst 3d stance possible. So I thought it was a lost cause. Prepared to play 1600*1200*90hz on CRT, now back to rear projection rig.

 

If you mean this, Todd Howard's comments are about his feelings towards 3D. He works for Bethesda, not ID Software. They're both owned by Zenimax, but don't share all the same ideas or philosophies. I would be surprised if even everyone at Bethesda agrees with Todd's sentiments.

 

No , last year they had some gig, with audience cheering to anti 3d sentiments

 

A few chants from bandwagoners at a LAN party hardly equates to anything. If 3D does continue to become more mainstream then Bethesda will undoubtedly follow suit. Already with a few tweaks their games look great in 3D. Regardless, it has no real bearing on titles that ID produce.

I'll be more surprised if Rage is actually 3D ready certified because of John Carmack's 'meh' attitude towards it. At least it goes to show that one opinion from the top isn't harming the product.

If Bethesda continue to be stubborn about it when all it takes to give their fans the option of using 3D is to tweak the crosshair and make sure the skybox is at a proper depth then that's their own mistake to make. I can't see it generating any good press for them down the road, despite a few cynical people saying "Yeah, take that 3D gaming!". It's just lost sales and negative feeling from people who like 3D and want to play Bethesda games in their preferred format.

Apparently it's a Sony move:

I found the PlayMemories app in the PS Store. It allows the user to view regular and panoramic 3D photos in the app. It's pretty much useless now that firmware 3.70 can do the same thing in XMB. ^_^

The only good thing is it's preloaded with some pretty panoramic 3D photos. I wish I can use 3D photos and videos as my XMB background.

 

Which is pretty much pointless unless the person you are video-chatting with also has a 3D screen on their notebook! Edit: Also, what apps (Skype, MSN) support stereoscopic video chat?

Sony OLED 3D HMD in Nov and it's less than a grand. Hopefully Sony will continue to develop their HMD for several generations.

 

Yeah, impressive! I was worried that it'd take ages if ever for this thing to hit the market, but now it's getting here already this year at least in Japan. Impressions on this thing were really good, with its OLED brightness and no ghosting if I remember correctly. And not sure if I read it correctly, but you should be able to get this 100% right for your eyes, which is a big help.

Very excited to try this.

 

Dissapointing there is no headtracking, hopefully they can make an add-on for it later. Either way its a day one purchase for me as long as the image quality is as good as it sounds it will be an comes in ~£500. Was looking into a new 3d projector but this HMD should be far superior to anything in its price range in terms or brightness, contrast, screen size etc. The OLED screens might even hold up well to the current top of the line plasmas.
