"Technically, the PS4 system supports 3D gameplay at launch on day one, though no launch titles are currently 3D compatible. 3D Blu-ray movies will not be compatible at launch.

More information about disc complatibility can be found on the PS4 Online User's Guide."

If so, why?

was it ever alive?



Yes. As you can see not many people want to even comment on it. Also, Kaizar over advertised it and that left bad glare in people's eyes.



That link is wrong.

PS4 right now can do 3D gaming perfectly. Trine 2 supports 3D. When the link was made, Trine was suposed to launch in Dec. instead of at launch.

I have no interest in 3D gaming or 3D movies at the theater. If its available I always choose to not view anything in 3D, even my 3DS has it off all the time.



Albion - Its Fun as Ballz !!!!!

Joe is right! Trine 2 is 3D there is a demo on PSN. I also saw interviews with Micheal from Housemarque, when asked about updating Resogun with 3D and he said it's something they're considering. So it's possible we might see more 3D titles in the future.



Yes, because it sucks. Technology just ain't there yet.

I'm just waiting for Kaizar to comment on this ...

Anyway, it was never really alive on consoles anyway and the general consumer does not care enough to get a 3D capable HDTV. Even on 3DS I have to admit people aren't buying them for the 3DS effect (even if I think it's awesome). You can easily see how many people are actually gaming with 3D on by checking Miiverse pictures on 3DS.



I like 3d gaming. Resistance 3, Uncharted 3, Crysis 2, Doom3 BFG, the new Trine, and Super Stardust all look awesome in passive 3D with motion smoothing...However I think once the Oculus Rift becomes streamlined it will massively hurt standard 3D gaming, especialy if it gets console use somehow. TV manufacturers price gouging on 3D TV's during the timeframe when 3D gaming was trying to find itself (2010 - 2012) massively hurt it.  I mean, why would someone pay 1500+ for a tv that has 3D and a few more specs than a TV that is 7 or 800 bucks?  Most people wouldn't.  I did but only because latest and greatest technology is important to me.  Most people aren't going to do that and now so much time has passed that 3D could certainly die out.  DirecTV has even been adding and dropping 3D channels left and right because no one uses them.
