3D would have been pretty cool, you guys

3D Gaming would have been really cool if it stuck around long enough to be a standard.

Maybe it'll catch on in 25 years when they try to make it mainstream for the fourth time.

decrypt3867d ago (Edited 3867d ago )

Yea you hardly hear console makers now talk about 3D. Well they tend to run their mouths on many things, for instance they been talking about 1080p gaming since last gen, yet still cant completely deliver on it. They will probably need another gen to get there after 2 decades of trying.

I have 3x 3d monitors in an eyefinity setup. It requires a monstrous setup to drive them (3 x GTX 780s oced), but dam the effect of 3d running across 3 monitors at 60fps is mind blowing.

Specially its cool PC can do 3D on just about any game ever released. I love Left4Dead running in 3D.

TardcoreGamer3867d ago

Problem was Sony and the industry in general pushing the tech out the door prematurely. PS3 didn't run games fast enough for 3D to be a good experience. A frame rate of 120 is par for the course with 3D (60fps for each eye).

Also issues such as "cross talk" with the shutter glasses were not addressed with first gen 3D TVs pissing off early adopters, like myself.

ramiuk13867d ago

while 3d looked cool in gaming,i couldnt get my head round it.
things felt to 3d that i couldnt sense depth or something,i not sure what it really was i struggled with but even after few hours i was getting wupped online.

i think the problem is the screen side of it is easy and quite cheap yet the power to create the game in 3d at an aceptable resolutuion and framerate is expensive and that cost on consoels i would expect to be another 10 years away to make 1080p in 3d gaming @30/60fps

badz1493867d ago

I would have love for 3D to stay. the PS3 clearly lacks the power to run 3D games at their full glory but couldn't change the fact that MS Apocalypse was amazing in 3D and some other games too. I hope we didn't see the last of 3D yet.

2cents3867d ago

I hope it doesn't die off.

I just bought the Samsung H6240 48" LED 3D for £550 from argos yesterday. haven't even taken it out of the box!

Cant wait to hook it up to the PS4 and X1, I've wanted a decent panel for a while now and this one seemed the best for the money for 2D, having 3D was a great bonus for me as I never really considered it before. it has that 2d to 3d conversion feature and I'm itching to see how bad of a headache it gives me on Halo MCC :)

I'm sure there are some indie devs out there who could try something in 3D with a smaller game. Well... I hope so.

mixelon3867d ago

The only ps4 game I know to have full 3d support is Trine2. Enjoy your TV. :)

Resogun really should support it given how well it worked in Stardust, but I don't think it does! :(

FriedGoat3867d ago

Trine 2 On PS4 can run in 3D and also Pinball FX. Although the other Pinball game on PS4 is much better.

2cents3867d ago

Thanks mixelon & FriedGoat!

I didn't know of those. I think I will have to check them out, if only to say I have tried 3D gaming on a home console :)

bigbearsack3867d ago (Edited 3867d ago )

Sniper Elite 3 is in 3d as well. (ps4)

ramiuk13867d ago

3d films will continue to be made so its not a total loss.

3D is always cool at first when it's reintroduced. In the end, most people don't want to hassle with special glasses most of the time and always go back to 2D

filchron3867d ago (Edited 3867d ago )

weve had glasses free 3D since 2004. trouble is people dont want to focus on 1 glasses free 3D screen technology and that stops progress because you have every company making their own proprietary glasses free 3D tech instead of refining an idea that works (new screens out now have a full 160 degree viewing angle before the image breaks up).

filchron3867d ago (Edited 3867d ago )

Auto-stereoscopic displays that are coming out soon will play an even bigger part in gaming than 4K displays. if they dont i will have lost all faith in game companies.

filchron3867d ago (Edited 3867d ago )

@GreenRanger pff try 2. most companies are bringing out auto-stereoscopic displays by 2017 if not sooner. in 25 years there probably wont be any 2D displays left as holographic lightfield displays (which the military will be using AS STANDARD by 2016 http://www.businesswire.com... will be ubiquitous and can show full 3D to even the most cockeyed of inbreds (the main naysayers of the technology) if you think holographic 3D isnt going to be a big part of the very near future then you've got some big screws loose buddy.

If they solve the problem of eye strain and fatigue, 3D may catch on. As of now, I don't see it being used anywhere else except movie theaters.

GryestOfBluSkies3867d ago (Edited 3867d ago )

eye strain is only a problem in active displays. i have bad passive 3d sets for years now, and ive never heard a single complaint about it. active 3d tech, with its eye strain, expensive glasses that need batteries, and syncing, killed the 3d movement. its unfortunate because 3d games and movies are amazing when done right.

FriedGoat3867d ago

Thing is though, Active looks so much better. Passive displays bump the resolution down and just don't have the pop.

I've had a fair few 3D displays and unfortunately eye strain and fatigue are problems with the person, not the display.

GryestOfBluSkies3867d ago

@friedgoat

its unfortunate that 3d didnt come out at the same time as 4k sets. the bump in display resolution solves that problem. i have 4k passive set now, and it looks absolutely incredible

Jdoki3867d ago

I'm not a fan of 3D in games or movies - but I'm glad these tech things come along now and again. It's good when a company tries to be disruptive and change the market for the better. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

madmonkey013867d ago

i tried killzone 3, uncharted 3 and gt5 in 3d, but in the end i just preferred playing them in plain old 2d

FriedGoat3867d ago

PS3 3D was unfortunately terrible. The resolution was dropped because the ps4 couldnt handle it and it just looked plain horrible. Playing 3D on the PC is a whole other story.

Enmson3867d ago

The PS4 couldn't handle it? are there other games out there? i thought Trine 2 was the only 3d PS4 game.

FriedGoat3867d ago

My bad, I accidently typed PS4 instead of PS3.

Sony's Licensing Strategy May Be the Best Route to Reviving Some of PlayStation's Lost Classics

Sammy: "It’s sad that PlayStation has moved on from some of these iconic brands, but it would be worse watching them rot. At least with this licensing strategy, there’s a legitimate opportunity for more great franchises to get a second chance. And if they sell really well, there’s always the chance Sony may decide to bring them back."

Love this idea. Let other companies release reboots of these classics to a wider audience. Everyone wins.

Eonjay76d ago

It's what most IP holders do.

jznrpg77d ago

Remaster Puppeteer. It looked great on PS3 but it would be nice to have on PS5 with fast loading and some sort of 4k

Little Big Planet, lol. No.

paddy95110d ago

LBP3 and rayman legends are the best here.

jznrpg109d ago

Puppeteer is really good. Nobody played it because it came out right before PS4 came out. When I went to pick up Puppeteer from GameStop some people were trading in their old consoles for PS4 preorder.

Sony Japan Studio Closed Because AA Market 'Disappeared', Says Shu Yoshida

No place for Puppeteer, Gravity Rush

Goodguy01114d ago

Man I'd love to see GR3. Unfortunately Somy didn't do well to advertise these games and AAA gaming is what most gamers preferred.

This gen has been different, indies and smaller games are what people absolutely love now so I wonder how these games would do if they were to release now. These games would also need a PC release.

Cacabunga112d ago (Edited 112d ago )

GR2 was nice but i don’t think it’s made for a home console. It played like a dream on vita. Same for tearaway. Ps4 version was boring but vita was glorious.
Japan studio made amazing titles for everyone. Call them AA if you like but they can work on jrpg reboots and sequel of bloodborne. Maybe even let them remake old gems even from other developers. I don’t think a partnership with SNK to develop Koudelka remake will be unnoticed. But bad management is where it’s at. AA disappeared but let’s invest everything in gaas

Knushwood Butt112d ago

GR2 was never on Vita, oddly, but yes, the fist game was best on Vita and the gyro controls really suited the game and worked well too. Vita had a ton of tech built into it.

I platted GR1 on Vita and PS4.
I couldn't play GR2 more than a couple of hours. Bought it day 1. Still have it. Tried twice but just couldn't get into it.

isarai114d ago

I mean can you really say it closed when 90% of the staff is at Asobi Games which was originally a team in Japan Studio?

blackblades113d ago

Don't try to spin it the studio is no mo end of story

pwnmaster3000113d ago

I mean he has a point.
I get it the studio is gone but what makes the studio, the people who works there.

For example people say BioWare is not BioWare no more because the people who made BioWare left.
Team Asobi may not be named studio Japan no more but if 90% of the workers is from studio Japan then it’s damn near the same and they still in Japan.

isarai113d ago (Edited 113d ago )

Not trying to spin it, that's literally the facts, Asobi absorbed Japan studio, and a small portion left but most of the Japan studio staff are still there 🤨. They're certainly taking a different direction that Japan studio but it's still the same people in the same office working for the same publisher 🤷‍♂️

Hell even the DNA is the same. Astrobot shares a lot in common with how it feels and controls with games like puppeteer and knack

blackblades113d ago

Saying that is like saying they gonna be making gravity rush 3 which is a no. The studio itself is gone the workers that went to asobi isnt gonna be making the same games

isarai113d ago

Wtf are you going on about, no one said any of that, why you makin sh!t up just to argue? 🤣

Scissorman112d ago

that's a bit of poor argument. i mean look at naughty dog. they don't make crash, jak & daxter , or uncharted games anymore either.

jznrpg113d ago

Bring Puppeteer to PS5 please! Love that game. Gravity Rush collection would be ice as well.

isarai113d ago

I've been shouting that games underrated nature for so long. I honestly think it has more unique charm and heart than astrobot, and if people rediscovered it they would really see Japan studio has always been a special studio

jznrpg112d ago

All the different heads and abilities were awesome. The aesthetic was awesome. The level design was so much fun. It is the true meaning of underrated, sadly.

Melankolis113d ago

Understandable. Adult gamers, while still having interest in AA gaming, have so little time that they choose to play AAA instead. Indie too, being fun and cheap, who could resist? they are too, time-consuming.

Eonjay113d ago

I think your on to something but for me it feels different. For one, even AAA games can get too time consuming. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is gigantic. Some would say obsessively so. It's quite an achievement simply due to the amount t of content. I definitely have less time for games now and the problem is that there is so much to play. I don't even get to half of the AAA games I want to play.
