3D support mysteriously absent from PS3 version of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit

Despite having being announced by the developers themselves back in June and even demonstrated during the last E3 2010, the PlayStation 3 version of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit lacks a stereoscopic 3D mode.

OH NO! (yep, sarcasm at its finest)

Edit: that mofo NBT91 below knew what i meant "+1 to u buddy"

CountDracula4945d ago

haha?

Anyway. It will probably be in an update that will be up shortly.

Perjoss4944d ago

kind of the same story with the PC. 3D support is broken for now, doesn't look very good with Nvidias glasses, but hopefully they will add a profile and some driver for it.

Anyways, the game is poop, stay away unless you enjoy driving models like Ridge Racer or Outrun2006 (no manual gears and perfect hairpins at top speed) Game has been quite boring for me so far after 3 hours of play. Far inferior to Most Wanted.

NBT914945d ago

OH NOOOOOO! Guess we'll have to "make do" with Gran Turismo 5 in 3D 1080P and 60FPS.

Cevapi884945d ago

along with head tracking and move support

Hell-Helghast4945d ago

NBT91 that deserves a bubble.

Substance1014944d ago

Lol for what? for spreading misinformation? GT5 in 3D is not 1080p and 60fps.

Guys, NFS:HP is a really good game. I picked it up today and played 3 hours straight!

This is coming from a long time GT fan (all the way back to GT1), do yourselves a favour and get both games.

Both games are/will be great games for their own reasons. And I can tell you from first hand experience, NFS:HP is awesome. Will also be getting GT5 day one.

NBT914944d ago (Edited 4944d ago )

I wasn't saying NFS was bad, I was referring to how it doesn't play in 3D on the PS3 version. I do in fact plan on getting NFS and GT5 next Wednesday when I pick up a logitech DFGT Wheel to play them both the way they were meant to be :).

Boody-Bandit4944d ago

I am a wheel racing fanatic and NFS doesn't support them. No cockpit views, no manual transmission, no wheel support or force feedback, no customisation.

Most racing games support wheels. Hell Shift wasone of the better wheels games I have played this generation. The FFB I got from Shift was excellent! I ended up playing and completing it on all formats.

NFS:HP is a full on gas and go racer.
I love pure arcade racers but they need wheel support or they are very short lived. I blew thru Blur (both versions) and Split Second in a little over a week.

"Guess we'll have to "make do" with Gran Turismo 5 in 3D 1080P and 60FPS."

The 3D version of GT5 does not run in 1080p60.

Boody-Bandit4944d ago (Edited 4944d ago )

No but it's still 3D and the game looks flat out amazing.

I personally can't wait to try it in 3D. Now all I have to do is purchase a 3D display and a PS3 camera for head tracking. If I am patient I will probably be able to get both in a bundle deal for Christmas.

lzim4944d ago

Are you people making shots at PD and Criterion for making the most of aging consoles or are you going to play the games anyway?

There are no "thoughtful" ads in video games, EA

I think the only type of games that can gets away with it would be sport games, having those sponsors ads on the side like on real life.

But don't put freaking Doritos ads in Star Wars or something, it breaks the immersion. If it is a pop-up ads, then big no.

Hofstaderman16d ago

EA can thoughtfully eff themselves.

Makersbreath216d ago

EA coming back for the crown of being perceived as the worst company in gaming.

Chocoburger15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

One of my favorite series is the THPS franchise, and it was packed with ads, but it didn't bother me. Posters for skateboard companies, JEEP, and Nokia phones. It did sort of fit in with the game world, but that was the past, these days ad would be intentionally intrusive or unskippable loading screen type of imagery. Ugh, I know EA would do it in a horrible fashion. Screw them.

Report: Sexual Misconduct Investigation Conducted at EA, Suspects Named and What They Did Revealed

EA senior staff has been investigated for sexual misconduct involving female coworkers, and these said people have been named publicly.

isarai21d ago

Aye just call Phil, i mean he somehow made Bobby Kotick's scandal disappear and gave him a few million dollar high five on the way out.

Cacabunga21d ago

I wonder if it will be censored with some in game ads.

MrBaskerville19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

Microsoft did, Phil Spencer played a minor part. He instigated the buyout that led to Kotick escaping all his controversies while getting a golden handshake.

Someone on Twitter calculated that the people hired in Tango and Arkane Austin could get a decent salary for roughly 17 years for the money Kotick was paid.

InUrFoxHole18d ago

Yeah some thing tells me Kotics $ was already guaranteed before MS made the deal. As for the studios... Let's be honest here... none of those studios made system sellers.

XiNatsuDragnel21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

EA about to go down like Activision and then Phil saves the day saying.this is good for the industry and consolidation will help create competition. /s.

MrBaskerville19d ago

Then they shutdown Codemasters and studio behind Jedi Survivor.

Atleast they could hardly do much damage that EA hadn't allready done. EA has shut down most of their studios by now.

ravens5221d ago

What's up with all these horny creeps. You gon be horny, fine. Just not at work take care of that shit before you go in. Rub one out if you have to. Don't be a creep at all. ESPECIALLY at work. But don't be one AT ALL.

Extermin8or3_21d ago

I mean part of the issue is that things transpired outside of work....

MrBaskerville19d ago

That's the thing he mentioned about not being a creep at all.

KwietStorm_BLM21d ago

You think deviants care where they are? Work sometimes makes it an even better situation for them because they can abuse their power.

mudakoshaka20d ago

Nerds think they are Gods when they are making video games.

NotoriousWhiz21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

"it seems that according to EA, given the events transpired outside of work between two adults, and the fact that once investigation has started that the alleged perpetrators didn’t do it again, the investigation is considered closed. [...] The victim still has to work with the people that harassed her."

Yep, EA is disgusting.

Extermin8or3_21d ago

I mean the fact stuff happened outside of work puts EA in quite a difficult position legally. These women don't seem to have reported the matter to the police which kinda ties EA's hands on what they can do. If they don't file reports of the crimes then yeah from EA's perspective it is stuff that happened outside of work. The only exception is the guy that apparently referenced things in the slack channel for work, spending on what he said proving it may be very hard and he may well be able to get away with plausible deniability. I don't like EA and I think these people need to be dismissed but without any legal action being taken, EA can't really do much without risk of being sued themselves for unfair dismissal etc.

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

EA stocks haven't been profitable in over 5yrs. They better hope Take-two don't get the FIFA license lol.
