There are significant doubts about whether the success 3D has seen at cinemas can translate to the home.
For one, consumers have only just upgraded to HD, and it’s going to take something big to encourage adoption of another large, flatscreen TV – especially as 3D TVs currently cost over £1,000.
Another issue for 3D to overcome is the sheer number of people who can’t or shouldn’t view it. Both Nintendo and Sony have warned that young children should not view 3D because their eyes have yet to fully develop.
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
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.
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

A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
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.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
Maybe I am missing something but doesn't 3D games mean that they have to render twice as much and won't that affect the framerate or detail in those games? Now considering hardly anyone on the planet even owns a 3D TV it just doesn't make much sense to make those games now.
If you look at KZ3 its look like crap.. and I really wonder how they will pull that off in 3D though.
I really don't get the hype for 3D. I mean it bombed pretty bad in the 80's and I really don't see it succeeding this go around. Outside of Captain EO or a few other "Cool" amusement attractions its simply not worth it in the long run.
Someone has to push the boundaries. I don't see anything wrong with getting 3D in the home now.
The early adopters help pay for R&D and drive down manufacturing costs until a sweet spot on price/performance is found.
3D may not become really mainstream until PS4 / Next Xbox / Wii2 or maybe Wii 3 launch. But the 3DS will help build an appetite for 3D on a screen bigger than a handheld.
I love 3D in the cinema, but I won't jump in to 3D at home until the price falls - but the combination of motion control and 3D opens up some amazing gaming opportunities; and I would anticipate the next step after 3D / Motion Control to be proper haptic feedback.
Of course it is. I mean Avatar was a total disaster in the Boxoffice and Hollywood stopped supporting 3D. Sony, Samsung and Panasonic are even considering stopping the production of 3D
TVs

I've bought a 3D TV, you can get a 40in Samsung for £850 on Amazon, it doesn't just have 3D support though it's a high spec TV, Internet enabled, 200Hz screen, high contrast, PVR functionality by plugging in a cheap USB drive, HDMI control of the PS3, and more.
I had some LCD shutter glasses on a PC about 10-12 years ago, played games like HalfLife1 and King Pin in 3D, but you couldn't use the glasses for more than 5-10mins without getting a headache. The new 3D tech is much better, I've used the glasses playing 3D games on the PS3 for 1-1 1/2hrs at a time without any problems.
It's not just Sony who are pushing 3D, all big TV manufacturers have 3D TVs, there are 3D films, Sky 3D plus 3D games, there'll be a lot more content about in the near future. In the longer term I'd expect there to be TVs that don't require the glasses, but as with any new tech the prices will drop rapidly in the next 6-12 months. Even Sony have said they expect 3D to take time to become mainstream.
