How is an FPS in 3D? Does it seem like the bullets whiz right by your head?

Depends which one. Halo 1 on PC is like a brand new game. Depth ads a lot to aiming and you can't land a melee attack for like 30 minutes. I game on a 67 inch 3D capable DLP and i LOVE getting shot by the needler in the face...lol.

Left 4 dead as well is really impressive...blood on your face.

Other ones I played like Crysis, Bioshock...weren't that cool.

It will depend on each game and the 3D drivers.


When I played the MAG beta I would see bullets fly by all over the place. I would love to know what that is like with 3D.



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

3D is awesome.

I am so pissed that Mass Effect 2 on PC doesn't support a controller. Otherwise I'd be playing the PC version in 3D on my PC using Nvidia 3D vision.

If PS3 can do this and do it right...count me in.

So u do think 3D is awesome? Make up your mind already. Cos from other posts it seems u were a lil disappointed in it.

Btw, I think ur the only one on VGC who has 3D in your home. Cool huh?

lol...I always said 3d is awesome. PC 3D gaming that is.

Console 3D though has my scepticism :)

I just don't believe PS3 and 360 can get the frame rate up to do proper 3D in 720p. You just can't do uncharted 2 or Gears 2 at 60 frames per second without some sort of a trickery which will shortchange the experience... on the PC however I can do full 1080p 3D if I want to and have enough video horsepower to run most games on high detail.

There is one more fella that has 3D vision on VGchartz...I forget his name. The dude is running dual Nvidia GTX285s in his PC...compared to my dual GTX260s. Hes the king of 3D...spec wise :)

Yes, thats it...

He messaged me few weeks back saying how im completely wrong in saying that 3D won't be impressive and that its awesome. I had to explain just like I did here, that I love 3D but that my comments were directed towards PS360 3D which is going to be limited to handful of titles or will be severly low quality.

I'd be happy if PS3 can produce 75% of the 3D depth and effects that PC does using 3D vision.

Now Im confused again by the frame rate demands... So is 60fps output by the console enuff if the monitor does 120Hz? Cos some ppl say the game needs to be rendered in 120fps or else the pic will flicker - or if it's 60fps render from the GOU, the monitor needs to double the frame rate (if the monitor has that ability that is).

Cos if 60fps is enuff then console games could well do 3D. Like Rage will do steady 60fps.

Thanks for the infomation Disolitude.

Just sucks that I bought a new tv just about a year.

the TV needs to do 120 hz so you don't get a headache. It shows 60 hz flickering image to each eye. Any less and you'd go dizzy or blind...or both :)

In game 120 fps would be ideal but it won't happen any time soon so the game can get away with some slack and do 60 FPS. This equals to 30 FPS per eye. Current TVs have 60 hz and games run at 30 fps. 3D games will need to run on 120 hz TVs at 60 fps. Everything just doubles.

That's very nice. So u got Dante's Inferno and Rage upcoming confirmed 60fps. Maybe GT5 is 60 fps? So it certainly is possible. Maybe Halo.

I can't wait. And I havent seen Avatar yet, so Im very excided and ready to be blown away.

Never seen anything in "3D", not Avatar, nothing...IDK whether I should be hyped or meh'd out.
