3-D Gaming Lacks Depth

Games haven’t grown enough to warrant our new addition to its development. There currently is too much improvement that we can make internally to have new issues, like designing 3-D visuals, to come into the picture. Why focus on this when we could be making advances on in-game engines, or just our basic design philosophies? Games are still in their infancy and have plenty room for tweaking and fixing. We should focus on the more pressing matters and make games better to play rather than watch. People instantly assume that fancy new tech means progress when that’s not actually the case. Just because we can make technological improvements doesn’t mean that we need to. Some things have their place, but they need to be justified.

Not from what I`m hearing......

dangert125810d ago

Too much improvent does the guy in the artical say?
he should shut up,cause any improvement is a good improvement.

HighDefinition5810d ago

Exactly....I personally think people are still bitter about when they tryed to bring out 3D a long time ago and wanta just find a reason to hate it. 3D technology is here and it`s not going anywhere, so get use to it....just like BluRay.

Gamerbee5810d ago

Its KZ3 which is being built 3D from the ground up.

In Sony we trust.

A part of me kinda want to see some sort of graphics card on the PC to make 2D games into 3D. It probably looks stupid but im just curious how it'll look.

Crysis 1 on a high end PC in 3D in the jungle or see the nuke blow... hmmm...

WildArmed5810d ago

It's funny though,
2-3 years ago, when Sony showed their first 3D at GDC, EVERYONE died for it.

Now they confirm its coming, everyone wants it to disappear.
Everyone knew this tech would be expensive, and it's not going to change anytime soon.
If you can't afford a 3dtv (like me), then you can appreciate the extra feature that you may eventually use or just move on.

If you have/plan on buying 3dtv then you're golden. I wanna experience 3D gaming again xD
My local Fries had a 3dtv set up with PS3 and a few 3D enabled game demos.
It was fantastic. GAH! D:

Not necessarily.

When cinema was in its infancy, right around the time D.W. Griffith and Eisenstein were showing the world what editing, close-ups, and a moving camera could do, suddenly sound appeared on the scene. What happened next arguably set cinematography back twenty years: the camera was put into a soundproof box which made it bigger, heavier and practically impossible to move.

Ask any cinematographer and they'll tell you that at the time, the addition of sound was a horrible mistake because filmmakers weren't ready for it yet and it forced them to focus on something unessential to their stories. If sound had been delayed, movies and their visual language would have evolved much more quickly and developed many more tools. Instead, everything became more expensive, more time consuming, and much more bland.

Bottom line. If you don't want, like it, or are just going to bitch about it? Yah don't have to use it! It's not like Sony is forcing this down your throats. 3D games will support both standard hi def and 3D.

For me personally, any upgrade that adds to immersion is an upgrade I have to have!

I will have a 3D display with in the next 4 to 8 weeks. I am waiting until I get a chance to view them all and do some more research. For me 3D is a no brainer. I have a separate bank account just for my electronics and gaming addiction and I haven't made any serious upgrades for the past year. I am ready to pounce. I just have to way the pros and cons then pull the trigger.

cobraagent5810d ago

We shall all see this February...

hoops5810d ago

You can see it now. There are over 200+ titles for the PC for 3D gaming at 60fps in full 1080p. Depending on the game 3D is great

maddhatter1235810d ago

well it is a good thing it is optional then right? i really don't know why there are so many cry babies in gaming. if you can't afford new tech or don't think it is useful don't use it. the rest of us don't want to be held back by you whiny little b!tches.

Anorexorcist5810d ago (Edited 5810d ago )

things like 3D gaming are exciting. It's only the partialized journalists/bloggers and kiddy fanboys who can only upgrade when their parents allow them to that complain about things like 3D gaming and who try to marginize it to make themselves feel like they aren't losing out on anything.

maddhatter1235810d ago

this is the 1st gen of consoles where people actually get made when you want new things. people didn't want hd to take off, they didn't want blu ray to take off and now they don't want 3d to take off. what is is even funnier is none of these things take way from games they just improve them also none are forced on you(execpt blu ray which comes with the console so it isn't a problem).

extermin8or5810d ago

lol @ the irony in that title, im going to assume that was done on purpose

360kinect5810d ago

I haven't really read any impressions of what Killzone 3 looked like in 3D...like if it really made a difference or not for anything.

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.

solideagle19d 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

Relientk7718d ago

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