maybe finally this will be the last nail in the coffin for 3D.... it's such an expensive waste of money

thekhurg3817d ago

Not really. You get a 240hz refresh rate with a 3D TV, and that alone with worth the extra couple hundred bucks when you're already spending over $1500 for a reasonable model.

ikkokucrisis3817d ago (Edited 3817d ago )

Hmm, I wonder if the digital 3D movies on the PSN Video Store and Netflix will work?

Chris5583817d ago

well for 800 you get 400hz led 1080 p tv easily

SniperControl3817d ago

@ikkokucrisis

Yes they will, all the movies on there are Side by Side 3D, It is the TV that does the 3D processing.

A Blu-Ray disc is set up differently, in affect two of the same movie are mixed together on the disc, a dedicated 3D Blu-Ray player decodes the two streams for 3D playback, this 3D affect is generally better than side by side 3D.

The PS4 will be able to do this after a patch.

@Chris558: You could spend $800 on a 400hz 1080p TV, but you would be stuck with a plasma TV with a horribly dim and overly glossy screen.

3d isn't as expensive as so many people think. I've seen smart passive 3d TVs go for $10 - $20 more than their non-3d counterparts.

Personally, I love my 3d TV. I don't watch a lot of 3d movies mainly because I don't buy/rent movies often, but I LOVE games in 3d. I hope at least Resogun is 3d for now. From the gameplay, it looks like it should be.

I have an amazing 3D Samsung 40" smart tv, its certainly not a gimmick. Try playing gears of war 3 in 3D and tell me it's not amazing!

Most blurays I purchase these days, I opt for the 3D version if available, I love it.

As imt558 says below, PACIFIC RIM IS AMAZING IN 3D!!!

Joe9133817d ago (Edited 3817d ago )

I also have a samsung 40" and KZ3 in 3d with the move sharp shooter combo is the best time I had gaming in forever I was hoping they did the same with KZSF but have not heard of any move support or 3d prob so they can get it out for launch.
@tiremfej I agree only reason why this bother me is because they already said they will support at launch now they went back on what they said and I think in the big Q&A thing it also said it will be added with the day one patch so we will see.

Replied to wrong comment

Cyb3r3818d ago

Ah for fuck sake! I bought a 3D TV for my PS4

KUV19773817d ago

I am buying a rather expensive 3D-projector, not just for PS4 but was fully expecting support.

"Sony's PlayStation 4 will not support 3D Blu-ray playback at LAUNCH."

Translation: The PS4 will support 3D Blu-ray in an upcoming patch.

Saviour3817d ago

but MS got bashed for same title :(. wonder what makes sony magically better.

C0LLAT3817d ago (Edited 3817d ago )

Maybe because Sony is Making Games the number 1 priority, therefor its excusable.

We all know the number 1 priority for Microsoft so I need not say.

What's with the dislikes on my original post??? xbox fanboys I guess, what can you do lol.
ah well.

tiremfej3817d ago

Wow. Sony just lied about it the other day stating the PS4 did it. X1 couldn't at launch. I read comments like "another nail in the coffin for Xbone" now all of a Sony sudden Sony is lying to everyone saying it does...and it doesn't??? I'm sorry but blatantly lying about something and everyone turns a blind eye proves to me...PS4 people have lost it.

nasnas763817d ago

Sony fanboy hypocritical fact # 12:

MS: being at front early on what it can't do = OMG worse console ever!!!

Sony: announcing the same problems as MS but only less than a week before launch = it's ok

C0LLAT3816d ago

REALLY??? you guys are obviously all Microsoft fanboys commenting, therefor I don't even know you care. You guys are making a big deal about nothing. Unlike Microsoft, Sony listens to its fan base and this will be added in a upcoming patch I don't know why you guys are acting like it will never have it. geeze get a life.

How......and why would it not be available at launch??? They were partially responsible for the 3Dbr's...lol

QuickdrawMcgraw3817d ago

The PS4 should be able to do at least the same as the PS3 and more.This it's just about the games is a free pass to Sony.Anyway can't wait to copy and play my huge CD collection on my PS4....Oh wait

I cant help but feel like a sap for listening to Sony about buying their Sony 3D TV. They were all for 3D two years ago

TomahawkX3818d ago

3D movies are still popular in the theaters, when that starts to change then I'll start to worry. The lack of next-gen 3D games is however quite alarming.

kratos_TheGoat3817d ago

3d tv/movies is only good for a hour... 3d is a borefest

xXxSeTTriPxXx3817d ago

Either you have a really ceappy 3dtv or you never owned one, take your pick.

3d is awesome.

Scatpants3817d ago

AC4 is in 3D on PS4 or so they were claiming. Maybe they changed their minds.

kratos_TheGoat3818d ago (Edited 3817d ago )

smart tv is a better value then 3d tv. for me i get really bored fast with 3dtv/movies

Such a good game to me. Crazy how different peoples opinions can get.

Crows905h ago(Edited 5h ago)

For me it wasn't that surprising. There was some bad press before. There's also the matter and element of a person's disposition when trying out a certain game. Sometimes you're just not really into the type of game that you're playing so you put it down because you don't like it. Not necessarily because it's a bad game but because you're just not up for something like this. Reviewers have a tough because no matter what they feel like playing they've got to play what's releasing.

I have many times gone back to games that I put down only to thoroughly enjoy them the second time around because either there wasn't another exciting game coming out around the same time or I just had no other games to play and haven't played that type of game in a while. I'm not the type of person that can just play a souls game through all this iterations one after the other without getting burnt out on the formula.

In my opinion this game was great from the start. Some bugs here and there but nothing worse than the most AAA releases during the same time after and before. All I did was wait one week and I had a phenomenal time with the game. No other zombie survival game comes close to how I thoroughly enjoyed this one

-Foxtrot3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Yeah I thought it was pretty decent, it had its flaws but for their first big console single player open world game it's a solid 8/10.

I have never seen an AAA "zombie" game feature as many enemies as the horde sections did, you really had to think about your surroundings and plan carefully.

I feel journalists had an issue with this game from the moment it was announced, they really didn't like the Biker characters and the overall Biker gang theme. If they were anything else I feel it would have had a better chance or at least they'd overlook some of the flaws like they do for certain other open world games. They don't mind waiting weeks or months for a patch knowing its coming but a game that has it Day 1 it's suddenly a big no no? Yeah this was one of those moments that showed you how they cherry pick who to suddenly decide to go harsh on when they want to.

mkis0073h ago

Ill never forget the reviewer who tried to claim the "ride me like you ride your bike" line was anything but a joke...they (sarah and deacon) explicitly call it a joke and the reviewer still misinformed the reader about it as if it was a literal thing.

Michiel19893h ago

the score on metacritic is 71 from journos, its 9 points lower than your review so stop making stuff up. They didn't hate it from the start, they on average just liked it slightly less than you.

-Foxtrot3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

@Michiel1989

I'm not making anything up, they held a grudge against it and made stuff up themselves like mkis007 has just pointed out. That 71 on Metacritic is why it didn't get a sequel.

Anyway how can I make anything up when I didn't even mention metacritic in my original post?

Leeroyw5h ago

Second act of that game far surpassed the first. Which is why people felt it didn't live up to the hype of the trailers. Personally I loved it. But it was a slog to get your bike and weapons up to skill.

Inverno5h ago

Was gonna post a brick wall of text but I'll keep it short. Pardon my French but f**k the media for the hate they gave this game. If you have a PC to play it on you can get it as low as 10 bucks, and if you have a PS then it's a no brainer. Totally worth a play.

phatak4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

I don't even comment here often but had to for this game, I still stand by my opinion that this was one of the top 10 games of the ps4 generation, I preferred days gone over god of war, horizon and last of us 2, the launch version was definitely piss poor and that messed up the reviews for this game, honestly some games deserve a re-review or post patch review as the metacritic score stays forever but the reality is its not even the same game anymore, the ps5 patch is amazing and the pc version which I play on nowadays is one of the best looking games ever, complete shame that we wont get a sequel, god of war got one, horizon got one, last of us got one, spider man got one,ghosts of tshushima about to get one but this game wont get one, sucks to be honest.

Ps3/360 era had some hidden underated games for me it was shadows of the damned, alice madness returns that deserved more sales and a sequel/ higher scores, and similarly for the ps4 era it was days gone, and dying light 1 that deserved much more love, dying light atleast got a sequel, everyone needs to play this game once and judge for themselves, for me its officially the most underrated game of the ps4 era, go play it if you haven't.

andy854h ago

Awesome game. Just bought it for my laptop last week
