| Dr.Grass said: But even though it's not new to most of us, it most certainly is very exciting. Imagine: 2vs2 player fps/tps game. Each team shares a split screen but can't see what the other's are doing. This will be foeking amazing. Or, I can play God of War 4 (OH YES PLEASE) while my girlfriend watches something... This technology needs to be pushed, because imho it's much exciting (for gamers) than 3D TV. The only downside is that it will be a power-hungry affair. But then again, PS4 won't have a problem with managing 2 screens @1080P and 60fps will it? |
Personally, the more interesting application of this technology is an extension of what I think the most interesting application of HD resolutions are ... Many more people being able to play locally at the same time.
One of the things that I am most disapointed with on the HD consoles is that they don't support 6 player split screen games; after all, with modern widescreen 1080p TVs you can split the screen 6 ways and give people a larger screen with more pixels than most of the TVs many of us grew up playing games on.
By using 3D televisions in this way, it is theoritically possible to allow for games to have up 12 player split screen local multiplayer. If/when you combine this with online or lan multiplayer you can produce a social gaming experience that is difficult to replicate.
