Does 3D Enrich Gaming?

The 3DS price drop has opened up 3D gaming even to those on a tight budget. But does 3D really add anything to the gaming experience or is it just another gimmick.

I think it depends on the game. In some cases it does, Ocarina Of Time 3D is one kick ass game in 3D. But like the author says, it's way less effective when it comes to other genres.

Best handheld gaming experience since Pokemon GSC.

I tend to agree. I'm not a fan of 3D but Ocarina Of Time was definitely impressive. Ashphault 3D on the other hand - totally was not.

gedapeleda4635d ago

Ageed,marketing makes it seem like it super enriches
gameplay.

FriedGoat4635d ago

does loads for gaming if your running a pc hooked up to a 3DTV. very impressive.
3ds and ps3 not so much.

bumnut4635d ago

Yes it does, I see no reason to buy a 3DTV due to lack of content.

Gaming solves that problem for me.

tiffac4635d ago (Edited 4635d ago )

I actually have to agree with your comment. I also purchased an HDTV for gaming ^^

When you don't have good vision or anywhere close to 20/20, then its pointless

DigitalAnalog4635d ago (Edited 4635d ago )

3D has been in movies for generations, and yet, it's because of AVATAR did the industry took the idea seriously. What exactly did they do right that the others didn't? Was it because it was actually IMMERSIVE, or maybe because they really pushed the boundaries of 3D unlike before.

It's the law of unique concepts: bring something that truly delivers to what it's advertised to do and you will get your promised reception. One can't be lackluster in these things you know.

That is a good point and an important principle. On that same token, if a product does things that may be appealing and the masses are not informed, it wont necessarily sell itself. In a world where people are constantly bombarded with marketing/advertising, the quality of the marketing can be just as important as the quality of the product in some cases.

As far as 3D gaming goes, IMO in some instances it can enrich a gaming experience. It's somewhat like sound, it may take a while to be perfected, but when done correctly can really help with immersion.

Personally, I can't wait to pick up the OOT remake and it's been a while since I've played it.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is the anti-Breath of the Wild

Polygon: "To get back to the way Ocarina made us feel, it was necessary to reject almost everything about it."

Ocarina of Time changed my life forever, such a masterpiece

Zeldafan64122d ago

Hard to believe it's 25 years old already.

Cacabunga122d ago

The feeling this game gave me the first time i had my hands on it is indescribable.. i still get the chill from that day..
botw is like a spin off of the series.. it’s fun but with many flaws and the most important which is Zelda formula isn’t there..

FinalFantasyFanatic121d ago

I can't even remember how many times I played through OoT, I finished that game, and collected everything so many times.

Vits122d ago

I generally agree with the author here. However, if I had to point out a single game as the 'anti-Breath of the Wild,' that would be Majora's Mask. Pretty much everything in that game is interconnected, relies on something that the player must have done previously, is timed, and can be considered a puzzle in itself.

gold_drake122d ago

but still considered the best of the seties.

i would have liked botw to be more like ocarina.

franwex122d ago (Edited 122d ago )

25 years from today whatever Zelda is out people would too be looking fondly at Breath of the Wild.

Ah the more simple times of the 2020s.

It isn't...

Zelda: Ocarina of Time - A Legend 25 Years in the Making

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time debuted 25 years ago, forever changing the face of video games and becoming a legend of its own.

Number1TailzFan154d ago

I used a guide to beat part of it but some of the rest myself, still enjoyed it regardless. Too bad they didn't stick with this kind of gameplay for the rest of the series as I would prefer it over what they're doing now.

TheBrainZ154d ago

A definitive moment in video game history. Played it countless times, and Zelda was the best reason to own an N64.

FinalFantasyFanatic154d ago

I played through OoT so many times on the 64, then I bought it on the 3DS before the Eshop shut down. I wish we could have a Zelda collection like we did for Mario, I still can't believe that never happened.
