a much as i want 3d gaming, im not going to buy another 3500 buck tv just to do so, i could care less if the ps3 does it or the 360, it doesnt work without the new 3d tv's, let me guess 50 people worldwide will go out and even bother.

Innovation pushes forward to the next generation.
hmmm, though if you think about it:

"play, b3yonD"
lol. 3D^^^^^

or can also mean play b3yond "3D", which if anyone remembers has already been discussed on ps3 and labeled "4D"

Sarcasm5581d ago

The whole point of the technology is to make it 3D without the required use of a 3D TV. So you would be able to use your LCD or Plasma and let the other hardware (PS3 in this case) do the calculations.

Can someone imagine a game like F.E.A.R 2 in 3D and in 7.1 surround sound? Holy F'in hell that'd be one scary experience.

Beast_Master5581d ago

Rumor is that GT5 will be availible in 3D. it will come with 3d glasses bunduled not require a new TV dummy. It will require HDMI on your PS3 though.

I think if it is true it will sell out the roof. I am not interested in racing games, so I wouldn't buy it but many people would. I think it is a good idea to try it with one or 2 games a year.

Agent VX5580d ago

Oh my gosh... they really should worry about making games run at 60fps with good textures, not this sooooo old 3D crap.

Really, didn't 3D die like 15 years ago???

rockleex5580d ago

They're actually awesome. I saw Beowulf with it, very "eye opening". ^_^

3D died down years ago because it was those red and blue glasses and they didn't work that well. Well, at least not as good as RealD.

"We used this method for the demonstration simply because we made another demonstration with Real D's projector for business use and decided to use the same glasses for the home-use display. Also, this method displays right and left images simultaneously and was the most appropriate for the LCD panel with a frame frequency of 120Hz or less."

So this is proof that this tech (realD) does not require a 120hz set.
Very interesting. I can't wait to see this on my ps3. :)

badkolo5581d ago

does it require a new 3d lcd or not, that is the question, if it does then it will never become mainstream and is pointless, if you dont need a new 3d tv then im eagerly waiting.

getupahh5581d ago

You do not need a new LCD, if they make the 3D tech that they used for the demonstration (RealD) as the standard for Blueray.

The standard for 3D is now in discussion and will be determined by the end of 2009.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space

Jayz2cents a supporter of there products also has issues

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg4h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv723h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast5h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood5h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK2h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

gold_drake59m ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.
