Some FAQs.

 


4. DO I NEED A SPECIAL TELEVISION OR COMPUTER MONITOR TO PLAY THE GAME IN 3D?
Yes. Call of Duty: Black Ops can output 3D signals for televisions that implement an active-shutter stereoscopic 3D technology. Xbox 360 users need a television that supports a “side by side” 3D mode. PlayStation 3 users need a television that supports a “top-bottom” or “over-under” 3D mode. PC users need a monitor that supports Nvidia 3D Vision 3D technology.


Side to side and over/under are perfect for me...It is interesting that they don't state that either version doesn't need HDMI 1.4.

Could it be that Sony have locked out only their own games from non HDMI 1.4 TVs?

PS3 doesn't have HDMI 1.4... but I don't know if was necessary TV with HDMI 1.4 support for 3D on PS3.

And "Side by side" mode was choice for 360 because limitation of HDMI.

It's funny, because the whole marketing campaign of "it only does" is simply telling customers what the system is capable, not that it's the only thing out there that can do it. Nothing to "lol" about

Im not talking about the marketing. Just people thinking PS3 is only capable of doing 3D gaming. People here (and other forums) have been saying 360 can't do it cause...

1. It only has HDMI 1.2

2. It doesn't have Teh Cell

3. It didn't have the "update"...that update did more harm than good as it locked all existing 3d TVs from being used with the PS3.

etc...

That is what I was refering to, not the marketing campaign.

Well, they're retarded then. I've seen from multiple places that have said the 360 can do 3D. Microsoft just isn't pushing it as much as Sony is.

Probably 3D on 360 will be better than on Ps3 after so much360 cant do 3D.. .Well Looks Like Activision and Crytek are pushing the 360 for 3D Gaming!

Side to side and over/under are exactly the same.If a device can do side to side, it can do over under...unless they are talking about HDMI 1.4 locked over under which has a slight data buffer in the middle.

And while PS3 doesn't have HDMi 1.4, that 3D update in June was to update the HDMI firmware to emulate HDMI 1.4. As things are now, PS3 will not display a 3D signal unless you connect it to a HDMI 1.4 device.

It does make me chuckle when I see posts by ps3 fans, happens  every now and then, that still believe that the 360 isnt capable of 1080p or 3D... there was one within the last few days.  I dont understand where this ignorance comes from, but to be fair I dont necessarily blame the individuals concerned.

Dont believe the hype.


Indeed. If a game can do split screen, it can do 3D. Its as simple as that. Since we are dealing with 720p 3d resolutions, having 2 images split down the middle (side by side or over/under) is a perfect format for 3D gaming.

Its cool that sony is pushing 3D with their first party titles, but it should be common knowledge that the tech behind it is not something which can't be done anywhere else.

...I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not.

No update is needed for 3D. Ps3 needed an update as they wanted to "upgrade" the HDMI port with software and lock out non HDMI 1.4 displays.

Avatar and Invincible tiger were out in 3D before the update and they worked on any 3DTV at the time. I am hoping COD Black ops will do the same and bypass the Sony update...



Still not interested in 3D.  I'd rather have the resolution than the 3D effect personally.

im not being sarcastic, before this day i didnt know that the 360 was 3d ready or that the ps3 didnt need an update to play 3d games.
