Sony's 3D TV Future

IGN: The use of 3D technology in TVs is something we're still waiting to become fully realized. Just about every manufacturer is making an effort to bring viewers into the third dimension, however, Sony is one of the few to fully commit themselves to focusing on 3D when it comes to their future lineup, even going so far to say they predict that 3D televisions will account for 30 to 50 percent of all the TVs the company sells in the fiscal year starting April 2012.

When will Sony ever learn any product they make = FAIL.......Natal = Future.

Kevin Butler6005d ago

VP of disaster recognition

And I'm here to tell you Xbox 360 + Natal=

foxtheory6005d ago (Edited 6005d ago )

I'm not a big fan of 3D in the first place, and I just can't see myself using this. I think it's a great new concept that has a strong future if it's done right, but this is not the kind of gaming experience I would like. Same with motion control, but that's another story...

Hellsvacancy6005d ago

I aint feelin the 3D revolution either, im all 4 head-trackin but 3Ds a no no in my book

Anon19746005d ago (Edited 6005d ago )

3D gaming is the holy grail of gaming! I don't care who makes it, Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo. I've been waiting 28 years since I first popped a cartridge into my Vic-20 for gaming to properly come into 3D, although full color, 3D gaming was science fiction for most of those years. I can't think of a single title that wouldn't benefit from going 3D. Even 2D titles like Super Mario Brothers would just pop in 3D.

When 3D games hit, I'll be first in line. I don't even care what the cost is. This is the future of gaming, not holding a pretend steering wheel in a laggy racing game or pointing my fingers at the screen and yelling "pewwww pewww" to fire a pretend gun.

sikbeta6005d ago

NAH... is not revolutionary, but still pretty GOOD!!!

Count me IN SONY

3D GAMING FTW!!!

Nikuma6005d ago

3D is going to bring game immersion to a whole new level. :D

Santa Hirai6005d ago

The future is here and the future is once again brought forth by Sony and its 3D.

ReservoirDog3166005d ago (Edited 6005d ago )

3D = headache for me after awhile. Meaning I don't care about 3D at all. It's annoying and gimmicky.

People argue 3D is equivalent to color in movies when black and white was only used. But I disagree. You can obviously use color in dramatic movies but I don't think for a second you can use 3D in a dramatic movie successfully. Why? Because it's gimmicky.

More power to the people who like 3D. But I'll never buy into it.

edit: @above

For the sake of conversation, why? The tv throwing stuff at you seems the opposite of immersion to me.

Anon19746005d ago

Tell you what. How about you poke out one of your eyes and go around with no 3D perception and tell us how gimmicky 3D is. I'm sure it will hardly make a difference at all.

Ju6005d ago

There is quite some difference between 3D movies and games. A game totally sucks you in because you are an active part of it, while a movie is still a passive experience. Ever played a 3D game ?

I can agree with getting dizzy after a while, though. Especially with fast camera movements in some games. It might not work for all type of games, either. But this makes much more sense than motion sensing as a stepping stone to the next game evolution, IMO.

This will push a whole industry like games pushed High Definition. It'll justify buying a 3D display like gaming justifies blue ray players right now. And there's maybe a reason, why the manufacturers will build a next-next gen console (wiggle controllers do not).

ABizzel16005d ago

Well hopefully the glasses from 3D movies work. I keep mine all the time :)

Just hope this tech is made afforable for the public.

i_am_interested6005d ago (Edited 6005d ago )

it wont be in the beginning, initially it will most likely be branded as a premium feature catering to a small crowd - rich people, parents who want to enjoy 3d movies with their kids, and gamers who want 3d TVs as opposed to computer monitors

but eventually it will become just another added feature to HD-tvs as time goes on, as if true 120-hz accepting sets will become a new standard feature, this is when prices will become more affordable

elcompa4256005d ago

FTW SCREW EDISON!!! lol...

On Topic: Regardless of how innovative it may seem, I won't be participating in this type of function. I enjoy the 3dless gaming, that's more than enough.

Cheers

akaFullMetal6005d ago

i really want to see what sony and others can achieve with this. Lets hope its real 3d not just a little pop up from the tv.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle12d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7712d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde19d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy19d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12519d ago (Edited 19d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7720d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga20d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199220d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga20d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman19d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger20d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box20d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion19d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7220d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7520d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit20d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14920d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7720d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
