Cnet: After spending 20 minutes playing Wipeout in 3D at Sony's CES 2010 booth, I'm officially a believer in gaming in the third dimension. It was only after I was made aware of the fine print did I become grounded in reality. But before we get into the gory details about what you'll need to get this working, let's discuss how it played.
Sony had a few games playable in 3D including Super Stardust HD, Avatar, and Wipeout. The experience playing Wipeout in 3D is truly immersive, with layered graphics giving you a surreal sensation of being in the cockpit of a futuristic racing ship. The HUD (heads-up-display) felt almost touchable, and its subtle shake was very realistic.
It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.
Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.
They're scum.
"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."
Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.
Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.
But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?
Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

I found this part very interesting:
'The HUD (heads-up-display) felt almost touchable'
Now bear with me here. You know in Dead Space, the HUD is like active and dynamic.
Now take a FPS like Killzone and add the 3D effect to where the HUD is similar as explained in the article about Wipeout in 3D. Now add the Playstation Eye and developers could make it appear as if the 'almost touchable' HUD can in fact be touched to manipulate settings for the character.
That would be absolutely amazing.
people just upgraded but many will upgrade again because tech is getting better and i for sure dont want to miss anything
What's crazy is the fact that these games that Sony is demonstrating 3D with were never built from the ground up for the tech but still works so well. I could only imagine how much better it would be if a game was developed from the ground up with 3D in mind. I think PS4 is guaranteed to have 3D support for all games.
Woah. Look at all the hate for 3D. None of the commenters at Cnet had anything possitive to say about 3D. Is it because their box isn't capable of doing it so they drag down the whole industry?
