Is 3D gaming really the future?

3D gaming is great!

3D gaming is a terrible idea.

Too early to tell...

My buddy just bought a very large 3D TV, as a result we've decided to play Halo CE: Anniversary in 3D. I just have to know before I disappoint myself, is 3D gaming any good? Will it be fully embraced in the next-gen? Just searching for some thoughts and opinions.

  • 3D's a nice feature, but I don't see it as [b]the[/b] future of gaming. There'll always be people who don't care for it, and people who's eyes can't percieve it.

    I think it is very likely that we will almost completely skip 3D gaming, what with the new technological advancments we are seeing. Now, I'm not saying 3D gaming is a bad thing, but it just isn't all that impressive and shouldn't be our focus.

  • I have a feeling it's a step towards VR, and was one of the stepping stone for the next step, the occulus rift..

      3D movies are great, and 3D gaming would be fantastic too. A lot of games deal with a character traversing a three-dimensional world, but because of the 2D projection we're robed of depth perception - making movement cumbersome. I haven't yet played any game projected in 3D, but I believe the current generation of consoles too weak to provide an enjoyable 3D experience. The industry standard is 30 frames per-second, but in 3D projection 30 FPS becomes 15 FPS, 60 FPS becomes 30 FPS, 120 FPS becomes 60 FPS, and so forth. I won't be happy till the home console is capable of 120 FPS at the graphical fidelity consumers are used to. 3D games are a great idea, but the required hardware for a great experience isn't yet available to the consumer.

    • As long as it doesn't take away from the game or become the focus it should be fine. Things like the Oculus Rift are going to be better in my opinion.

    • I think 3d gaming is one of those things that will be a preference. sure it might be fun for a little while but i think its going to die out. For me i dont want to worry about finding my 3d glasses every time i want to play a game. i know HCEA had it but idk how many people used it. Now, compare 3d gaming to Microsoft illumiroom, i would prefer illumiroom
