Actually that's not the stereoscopy Sony pushes. This kind of 3D can be incorporated in pretty much every game so this is not the future. It's good old anaglyphic image.

Hideo_Kojima5883d ago

anaglyphic is fun but that stuff DOES give you a headache

kingdavid5882d ago

So did widescreen tvs when they came out. I think we'll get used to it.

Chris_TC5882d ago

Well, this is the only reasonable way to present screenshots on the internet, even if the quality is nowhere near frame sequential 3D.

david I'm not sure why u got disagrees. When I bought my 50" Plasma I had problems watching it for 2 weeks because of the size of it was messing with my eyes. I couldn't view it for more than 45 minutes before it killed my head.

They had the same feature in PGR4. You could turn on the 3d effect for replays if my memory is correct.

extermin8or5882d ago

all this 3D stuff, i played batman:AA in 3D gave me headache ad didn't look as sharp, personally I'd rather play in HD however as long as they alow people to do both I have no issue its if they decide to go 3D only that i'll probably stop gaming, watching films ect ect

JustTheFactsMr5882d ago (Edited 5882d ago )

That's the cheap anaglyph for you. It's why it never caught on.

It's the solution you will see from multi-platform titles because HDMI 1.2 found in the 360 doesn't support the HDMI 1.4 spec for stereoscopic 3D used by PC's and the PS3.

The only way the 360 can support it is if the developers write in special support for every TV on the market like Avatar had to do. And they didn't so there was just a subset of TV's on the market it worked with. No standard also meant no industry wide adoption and more problems and time consuming development.

Or you can buy a PC or PS3 which will both get full stereoscopic 3D using the HDMI 1.4 spec on any of the 3D tv's now coming to market.

And it's optional. Just like Live. Nobody is shoving it down anyones' throat. And it's a free firmware update. For both movies and games.

Would have to track down the link but the real percentage of people that real issues with stereoscopic 3D is around 6% and for many of them it's actually and indication they need glasses or a new prescription. IOW the 3D convergence issues and the tolerances required simply highlight an underlying issue that should be addressed anyway. It just brings it to the forefront.

phalanx_mark5882d ago

theres no consensus that 3d actually benefits movie-making. However i think there will be gaming. There are so many games where sensation of depth and motion through a 3d environment are critical. 3d will help you predict a grenade arc in an fps without needing a tracer line. it will also let you better judge the distance of corners and your approach speed in racers. Because essentially there is an input- feedback cycle in games that does not exist in films 3d will become essential.

Chris_TC5882d ago

3D in games will eventually be combined with head-tracking. This will then give you "real" 3D environemnts which update their view as you move your head. This kind of thing is not possible in movies.

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.

solideagle70d 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

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.

DarXyde76d 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.

Soy77d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12576d ago (Edited 76d 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.

Relientk7778d ago

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

Cacabunga78d ago

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

S2Killinit77d ago (Edited 77d 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.

neutralgamer199277d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga77d 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

1nsomniac77d ago (Edited 77d 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.

medman77d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger77d 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_Box78d 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.

robtion77d 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.

darthv7278d 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.

Agent7578d ago

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

S2Killinit77d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14978d ago

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

Lightning7778d 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.
