Call of Duty : Black Ops 3D Impressions

Geoff from Lazygamer was at a secret Black Ops event and had some hands on time with Black Ops in 3D on the perfect setup...

"One of the least publicised features of Call of Duty Black Ops is that it has full support for stereoscopic 3D – yeah, the sort that requires those incredibly expensive new TV’s. Sony have been pretty heavily pushing the fact that their console does 3D, while Microsoft have not.

Both though, are capable of running Black Ops with that extra dimension. PC gamers will have to use an NVIDIA solution. At a recent Black Ops event I had the opportunity to play various sections of the game in stereoscopic 3D. What did I think?"

I am still wholly unconvinced by 3D gaming...but I suppose I'd need to play more games.

Money is the only thing standing in my way. I would also prefer if I am dropping about $1,000+ on a TV for it to not require glasses. Other than that I am all for 3D. I don't think that the future of gaming will be 2D for ever.

Dramscus5292d ago

Most of what's bees seen so far are a few older games with 3d added.
I'm totally stoked for 3d. The glasses are a pain but glasses free shouldn't be far behind, they already have working autostereoscopic tv's but they don't yet have a great enough viewing angle or a low enough price point to matter.

Perjoss5292d ago

Seen it with my own eyes (3D in general, not black ops), some games are glitchy but some are amazing. Had a persnal lengthy demo at my cousins house and saw many games, was so impressed I ordered myself a monitor and nvidia glasses, monitor arrived today and the glasses should arrive in the next couple of days, I cant wait :)

I LOVE THE WAY IT LOOKS IN 3D. looking down the scope is really cool it's like the gun kinda sticking out of the t.v!

Relientk775292d ago

I don't like that 3D blurry image

BillOreilly5292d ago

Interesting, people said 360 cant do 3d. The 360 had done sterioscopic 3d many times and can if developers impliment it. The spin stops here.

Trroy5292d ago (Edited 5292d ago )

People have said the 360 can't do 3D without a severe resolution and performance hit, unlike the PS3 and PC.

e.g.: CoD Black Ops. The res is really low, and the framerate in 3D is, frankly, bad, unless you have a PC.

GavinMannion5292d ago

This article just stated that it was 3D on the 360 at near 60fps with no major knock on the resolution.

DreamTension5292d ago (Edited 5292d ago )

PS3 takes a performance hit as well when implementing 3d:

"Killzone 3 on a 3DTV in its E3 demo guise operates with a frame-rate penalty compared to the 2D version and it does indeed run at half resolution: 640x718 to be precise, with bilinear hardware scaling used to make up the difference."

@LazySAGamer

The article doesn't mention the 360, and all the major review sites are claiming its a pretty hefty hit. I think that, without the proper analysis tools, the article author is probably just guessing at the rez and FR, after playing at an "event".

EDIT: I see in the comments the author mentions that he played on the 360, now.

@DreamTension: You're comparing a game that hasn't been released to one that has. Performance tuning always happens at the end of a project. The article mentions that pretty much verbatim, with regards to CoD, so I don't see why the same wouldn't be true for other titles.

Mannn… worlds scaries police chases… that took me back lol

Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.

Max Payne Series
Infamous 1 & 2
NBA Street Vol 2
SSX
Skate

i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately

YourMommySpoils84d ago

They are making the first one, as we speak.

jznrpg85d ago (Edited 85d ago )

One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons

jznrpg85d ago (Edited 85d ago )

Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those

Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.

And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.

I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
