3D Gaming

Who does it?

Recently upgraded my TV and there was a lot of people complaining about 3D saying it is awful and not worth the price etc etc. (like they do with the iPhone...)
Downloaded Classic Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow and the Killzone 3D demo and they are great! Killzone took my eyes a few mins to get used to the action but it was really good.


Also does the 360 have 3D support like the PS3 and PC does?

I believe the 360 has 3D support now, at least Gears of War 3 claims to support 3D.

I've not got a 3DTV yet mostly because I've yet to see one in action, every time I see one of the demos in a shop it's not bloody working so I have no idea what it's like. I have had a quick go at Borderlands and Company of Heroes on a 3D laptop though and it was pretty good so wouldn't mind getting some for myself.

I wear glasses so until they bring out 3dtv that you don't have to wear stupid glasses it's a no from me.

I've only played those 2 games in 3D at the moment and struggled to see why people don't like it.
I'll be getting the new Batman game and I'll see what thats like in 3D.

Active 3D glasses fit over glasses as far as I am aware. Or from what I've seen anyway, mind you I don't think it would be comfy.

I've got a 3D TV and an Xbox, played COD in 3D, it was OK, gave a bit of perspective, but I was worse than usual so died a lot.

Played GT5 and thought the 3D was poor (though not a poor as the game itself)

I haven't tried anyhting else, and I'm not in any hirry too either.

I imagine a racing game to be poor in 3D. Cockpit view might be okay but not much else.

I have a Nintendo 3DS, and have to say I'm quite impressed, has a lot of potential

The issue I find with the 3D stuff is the refresh rate is so low so you get an aweful amount of ghosting which really annoys me.

The 3DS hurt my eyes. Not sure why but couldn't focus on it properly.

Are you not sick everytime you use it?

I went to one of those white tents they put up all around the country to launch the game (Edinburgh) played on a number of games but ended up with street fighter and tbh it made me feel queezy. The reply to them is that users should turn it down but whats the point having it at all if you cant use it to the max?

Anyway i voted yes, as although the hardware and platforms arent quite there atm, soon they will be. What the man on the street needs to recognise is that 3D wont mean the picture will always be jumping out at you but is there to add another level of depth to the field of vision.

Apparently from what I have been reading, Uncharted 3 will be a huge step up in the quality of 3D gaming. I'm obviously going to buy this game and will probably play in 2D for my first play through but once completed I'll dabble with 3D.

I regulary play Killzone 3, Wipeout and GT5 in 3D. It adds a lot more depth to the game, BUT it does make your eyes tired,

I think 1 hour max on 3D before a break is needed, although I wear glasses so this may not help.
