Just curious...have you seen any 3D games on PC? And maybe compare that to uncharted 3?

The difference between console 3D and something like Trine or Metro 2033 on the PC is like PS2 vs PS3 in graphics.

Isnt that a pretty piss poor comparison.  The top graphics on PC without 3D make PS3 and 360 games look like PS2 games.  So its a little unfair. You are comparing 2 things where one has a limit and the other really doesnt

I listed Trine as an example as its on PS3 and it looks pretty much the same on PC and PS3. Yet it has amazingly stunning 3D effects that nothing even comes close to of the console 3D games I've played. ( Black ops(360), Crysis 2 (360), Avatar and Motostorm). Out of the 3D games on consoles, Avatar still probably stands out as the best one.

I agree that the pixelization ruins the 3D effect on consoles. So graphics do play a role... however very few console games allow you to change the depth levels. I need my 3d depth to be cranked up as high as possible. I hardly see 3D effects on console games...just a horrible resolution loss 2D game with a slightly 3Dish background.

You have a 3DTV so I suggest to find a way to watch youtube 3D and to find some good PC made 3D videos for games. Hell even PS2 and gamecube wii emulators look amazing in 3D on the PC.

Well I have played PC games in 3D, you helped me figure out how.  So I know how great they are, and games like Killzone 3 and SOCOM 4 in 3D pale incomparison.  

But again none of this really matters as this wasnt the point of the thread,  it was about how Uncharted 3 may have finally done 3D right on the PS3,  something all the other games cannot say.  And who knows,  maybe it has,  I know Im excited for it.

Hence why I asked the OP how Uncharted 3 compares with PC 3D if hes played any PC games... :)

If its 90% as good, It may be time for me to get an Optoma 3DXL convertor for projectors and fire Uncharted 3 3D on an 80 inch screen :)

@ disolitude, is the issue with power? Because in my opinion, Sony is really just trying to get a few early adopters with the PS3, and actual good 3D content will mostly have to wait until PS4, as even with films, people haven't quite got to grips with 3d

I think the main issue is with some devs not knowing what they are doing to be honest.

Like the 3D effect on the Sonic Generations demo on XBox live is appaling. Its garbage. Even with low resolution it shouldn't be this bad. I haven't seen many Ps3 games in 3D, but the general concensus on 3D forums is that they are not good.

I think the biggest obsticle for Sony trying to push 3D as they are is that they are not creating a 3D driver themselves and then letting game companies build games around it. It would be much easier for game companies to grab a default 3D driver like the one Nvidia or IZ3D have, and just build a game around it with best results possible.

I've never played 3d on pc so I can't say but I've played just about everything I can get my hands on for consoles. The only game I've played that does it better than uncharted is avatar the game but that game was built from the ground up to be played in 3d. But Uncharted's 3d pretty much destroys killzone, crysis, black ops and pretty much any other 3d game I've played.

Gotcha. Yeah Avatar 3d on the Xbox 360 (and PS3) was the best implementation of 3D I've seen on consoles. This is mostly due to the fact that it was built for 3d in mind and it supported checkerboard 3D mode, which hides the resolution loss much better than any other 3D method.

Yeah, the other thing avatar did that other games haven't been able to master is the pop out effect. Uncharted 3 has good depth but very little pop out. Overall I'm just glad that uncharted 3 was able to maintain a decent resolution with a clean presentation and noticeable 3d. Some games like crysis have 3d where you really can't tell the difference between 3d and 2d.

...3D TV's are not very common around the world yet so why is Sony even putting 3D in PS3 games? By the end of 2014, only 40 Million homes are supposed to have it around the world. I would bet that the 3DS sells 40 Million by the end of 2014. I don't really think 3D should have been a part of the PS3...it seems like a waste of time to be honest. PS4, Wii U, and XBox 3 could have it...though it won't be significant until the end of the gen like HD with this Gen.

Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong
