Forums - Gaming - 3D is the future of gaming, say Ubisoft

We'll use this photo a lot. We're going to milk it.

There are strong rumours that the most successful home console on the planet, the Wii, is soon to embrace the brave new world of HD graphics. It surely won’t be long before the majority of gamers are playing their games in High Definition; but what’s the next step in Bigger Better More graphics?

According to Ubisoft, the inevitable next step is 3D. Their James Cameron’s Avatar tie in, while it doesn’t require a 3DTV to play, will be the first mainstream Ps3 and Xbox 360 game to fully support the technology’s 3D imaging. Brand manager for the game in the UK, Phil Brannelly, told us in our interview that 3D is definitely the future for games. He even went so far as to say “In the future, we’ll be saying to our grand-kids ‘I remember playing games in 2D’ and they’ll just tell us to shut up!”

Brannelly also told us he believes TV’s future lies in 3D technology as well. We shudder to think how much pornographic TV subscriptions will skyrocket, and the thought of elderly Jedward in our living rooms quite frankly scares the hell out of us.

There isn't many TVs on the market that are capable of this yet. Is Ubisoft right about this?

it will take at least 20 years. I don't see many people throwing away their HDTV's to adopt 3D HDTV's any time soon. I, personally, plan on using my Bravia for at least 5 years.



need a tv that does 120HZ. it wont take over until like 2030.



It's true.

Eventually there will be holograms in gaming. It's all working toward virtual reality.

They also said that the average game will have a budget of $60 million in the next gen, so I'd take that with a grain of salt.

Their view of the industry doesn't seem sustainable or realistic to me.
