Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft dismisses 3D as "future" technology

leatherhat said:

This time next year 3D televisions will be readily affordable for the average person. I admit in the short term its worthless due to its price, but by the time games like Killzone 3 come out it will be a much larger factor. 

That's the point. Let's think back to the beginning of HDTVs, they were also too expensive for the mass market, and now... well, they are very cheap. For now I'm more hyped for the 3DS because it probably won't be very expensive, but I also can't wait to get my hands on games like Killzone 3 in 3D (it's just too expensive for me right now...).

how does dtewi get away with those kinds of posts?

3D with glasses is retarded and just absolutely stupid. Annoying, bad for glass wearers, causes headaches, and the list of negatives just keeps on rolling and rolling. Until they make actual, viable 3D, yes, MS is right.

3D on the PC is far less expensive, and it is STILL not worth anywhere near as much as companies ask for. Current 3D = epic fail.



If MS wants to do 3D games they could easily just use the Kinect camera for head tracking and create a 3D effect for the 1 person playing the game without glasses and a special tv being needed. I hope they do this. 3D gaming will not be mainstream for years. Anyone who bought a HD tv recently isn't going to go out and buy another just for 3D. I bought my tv 3 years ago and I'm still not buying one anytime soon.



I'm saying that he's being insane for thinking the 3DS will be too expensive and too "futuristic."

Microsoft also said that 1080p was unrealistic for consoles, big HDDs weren't necessary, and digital downloads were the future.

I'm not listening to them....

Except he never said anything about the 3DS. He specifically mentioned the living room.

So, Nintendo unveils the 3DS.

Then Microsoft says 3D is the tech of the future.

some people are really missing what he is saying here....


"Waaah, waah, damage control, 3D is t3h future even though full-body motion control is just as, or even more, futuristic! T3h price as well, even though ours is a tad absurd." -Thompson


What the hell are you talking about?

Reggie said 3D console gaming was too expensive in his Ninty keynote speech... he also said glasses are for idiots.

MS say it too and MS are idiots all of a sudden.  Is reggie an idiot too?

No, dtewi is saying that he's bitching that 3D is for the "future" and is dumb now...even though FULL BODY MOTION CONTROL is just as futuristic...yet he's backing the product (well, obviously since he works for Microsoft). 

He's making a hypocritical statement
