Is there any info yet on the cost to produce a game in 3D?

It doesn't cost any more then it does to make a standard HD Game, its a driver setting that duplicates an image slightly rotated. Developers don't have to do anything.

The game is required to run at 120 FPS to produce proper 3D, that should put up some obstacles I think

Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.

I guess no 3D gaming for me any time soon. I won't be buying a new TV for at least 5 or 6 years.

For 3D TV/DVD/BRD/gaming to properly take off there needs to be cross party standardisation. You can't have something stupid like PS3 3D needs 1 of only 2 TVs on the market to give a decent experience.

I'm running games in 3D on my computer. It runs purely on Driver and sony is using the same 3D as I'm using right now. Shutter Glasses. And no games don't need to run at 120 FPS you just need a monitor that refreshes 120 times persecond which is different then a system running at 120 fps.

Games do need to run at 60 frames per second. You will notice on your PC that any time game dips below 40 frames per second game slows down... Considering most ps360 games run at 30 fps, in order for them to be 3D and keep the same experience, they will need to run at 30fps X 2.

This could be a challenge for some high end games... I mean, Forza 3 will never be 3D. Its already running at 60 fps therefore I don't see 120 fps possible with graphics like those.

if the TV's are a few grand then this is dead, if they are £500, then it will take off.....im sure in a year there will be 3DTV's for around £350....if you look hard enough that is

btw...Blue Sony glasses FTW



PlaystaionGamer on 18 January 2010

wait...if you have a 120 FPS TV...it will work?

if true then 3D is not going mainstream any time soon !



Time to Work !

If you have a TV that takes 120 hz input it will work. Or if you have a TV that allows for a checkerbaord pattern it will work. There are 10 TVs right now that do this...DLP and a few plasmas.

The good news is that you can always buy a monitor that supports this for cheap. Viewsonic's VX2265WM will support 3D as its 120 hz and it shouldn't be more than 300 bucks.
