I had the same problem, at first. When you see a 3D image, you expect everything to be in focus - but film makers often blur out the foreground or background and focus the camera on what they want you to look at. For me, that took a little getting used to but once I learned to relax, stop trying to focus on things I shouldn't and let the camera guide me to what I should look at, I was fine.

What I find surprising is the lack of knowledge this editor has about 3D. They know exactly why some people get dizzy/headaches when watching 3d and it has zero to do with "It's harder for your brain CPU to switch focus." Researchers concluded that the effect is similar to those who get motion sickness, or the people who feel sick playing first person shooters. The brain sees movement but doesn't feel the type of movement in the body and inner ear that it thinks it should based on what it sees. This can cause certain people's brains to short circuit, and it's why people who are motion sick can close their eyes and feel some relief.

3D is the same. Everything on the screen is telling the brain that the subject should be in motion, but the other senses aren't and that can cause issues. I understand that with repeated viewings your brain will eventually learn that it's ok to see 3D images and not feel motion that goes along with it. In the meantime, drink some ginger ale for your stomach and limit your viewing. Apparently, you'll get the hang of it eventually.

Personally, I think 3D is the holy grail of gaming. To add depth perception to games is as big a leap as when TV's went color. Don't believe me? Try walking around for a day with one eye covered and see how much depth matters.

Like he proved with video games time and time again, Robert Ebert just doesn't get it. He's pushing 70, he's used to the way things have been his entire life and like many older people he doesn't understand new technology so he becomes dismissive of it. Just read his many rants against video games for proof of that.

I know there is a dislike for Kotaku on N4G but this is the Aussie Kotaku, not the American one.

There is also a Kotaku for Japan-

The degraded image quality isn't the only problem.

It's also very isolating once the glasses are on.

A large and understated aspect of gaming, especially offline multiplayer/co op is the interaction between the persons playing outside of the videogame.
With huge dark glasses on the eyes are covered, which makes conversing naturally difficult.

I agree, in it's current form I don't think the effects makes up for huge loss in overall image quality. Give me a high res 2D image any day of the week, this goes for games and films.

Yep, and Black ops is K3 in 3D.....

I've tried it, my Grandparents own a 46" 3D TV, it's used mostly for Sky Sports 3D.

From the games I've seen on it, Motorstorm 3D.. It's not worth the time nor money, the backlash will come, as it does with everything... It happens now with the Wii, it used to be the PS3, soon enough it will be Kinect (That's already begun.)

And when it does happen and you're all bleating about how 3D was a gimmick doomed to fail, remember that you were once willing to invest huge amounts of money in it. (Buying a whole new TV.)

We're making huge leaps in terms of quality graphics on consoles, let's not hinder it with 3D.

but...you customize your own characters now? l dont like that boys neck. holy shit it's about as strong as a twig

oh for sure. The franchise just shits on the male version more and more per new entry, lol
