Forums - Microsoft - Will MS embrace 3D gaming aswell?

I think there is already a 3D game available on both PSN and XBLA.

screw 3d gaming. Especially this early. The hardware is not going to be powerful enough let alone the 3dtv adoption rate. Next gen will be much like this one with hopefully 1080P a@60 FPS. THats what developers need to aim for. Not some gimicky 3d visuals



Long Live SHIO!

first of all it doesnt need 3D TVs u just need some kick ass glasses lol and second of all the 3D thing isnt coming for next gen consoles its just coming in 2011 for ps3 so..... nobody knows if sony is gonna make ps4 3D



3D is a gimmick, just like Motion Control and no Control is.

 

Its fun for 10 minutes but you want a controller and no 3d games.

But you need computing power. Most PS3 games run in sub 1080p resolutions at sub 60 hz refresh rate

 

If you want to make your game 3d, then you half your frames per second.The Ps3 is not powerful enough to make a 1080p, 120hz (ie seemingly 60 hz when in 3d) game. Except for non graphics intensive games

I don't know if Microsoft will embrace it or not, but I think I can still answer a few of your questions:

Q: Does MS have the technology?
A: On the console side, the technology is nothing special, very simple actually. All you need is a powerful enough system to output at 120 frames per second, and the shutter glasses (really a 1-pixel LCD screen for each eye) which alternately block each eye's view, resulting in 60 frames per second for each eye from the correct perspective. In fact, the Master System from Sega already had a similar technology.

On the TV side, however, you need a TV which can not only display at 120 Hz (many already do), but also accept a 120 Hz input (few do, and they're not cheap). I think 3D-enabled TVs will be more rare than HDTVs were when this generation started. This is what makes it hard to say if MS will be interested, and if people will actually adopt it.

Q: Does Sony have a patent on it?
A: I don't think so, since Nvidia has already launched a 3D gaming product for the PC.

Q: Would you like to see Gears and Halo in 3D?
A: Probably, but I don't think I will have a 3D TV any time soon. I may buy a 3D-enabled LCD for my PC, any more than that is probably going to be too expensive in the next few years. Besides I probably don't want to wait long enough for prices to come down before upgrading my current TV.

These topics have been duscissed to death so anyone that wants to make these threads, send him a question message before hand... :)



@Ghazi4

 

Yeah but just like motion CONTROL, lol its just a gimmick

your tv needs to be able to do 120HZ... and not much ppl have that. so i think itll be an optional thing in the future for gaming


mines does 600 hz if i am correct
