If you don't like it or it makes you sick then don't fucking use it! Just turn it off! I think it seriously adds to the experience when used properly and I would much rather they DID spend their time on something like this, which is actually game related, instead of FACEBOOK, TWITTER AND MSN INTEGRATION!!!!

Agree wholeheartedly. I don't think 3d is the "killer app" that going from black and white to colour was, or moving from 2d to 3d in games. But I do believe it's about equivalent from going from SD to HD. Remember back when the current gen consoles where "next gen" and HD TV penetration was relatively low? There where similar debates all over the place about whether HD was worth it. I was even in two minds myself (wondering whether the extra processing on the higher res was worth it, or better spent on higher frame rates/bigger worlds/better ai etc). Now I think very few people would dispute the worth of HD, or think of choosing to play in SD rather than HD. Give it a few years and I think we'll be in the same situation with 3d... |

I think 3D is horrible. We checked it out at the shops in JBHiFi on the TV's and games on Friday. The only thing going for it is it does add depth and fair detail of crispness but its terrible for me as I find if you're not looking at the focal point its directing you to it looks blurry and almost like its screwing with your eyes like a hyperspace tunnel effect almost. This was wearing their goggles and glasses, I didn't see any 3D TVs that didn't require goggles etc. The sport/action scenes were ok, the basketball one I watched seemed jittery and badly focussed on so not sure if thats TV related or what, but some of the stuff shown did look good e.g the golf one as I said for the depth and it did seem quite real when looking at the object they want you to focus on, though I found heavy action/motion sequences seemed jittery. I don't think 3D is the same as saying its similar to when SD and HD came out, as its not improving the quality of the picture/scenes like SD and HD was, its adding a new effect to the outcome of the item being shown if you know what I mean, increasing resolution and quality is one thing and adding a virtual 3D like depth is another I think.

Jammers, if all your basing your opinion on is a brief demo in a shop then you've got nothing. For decent 3D, the TV can and should be calibrated to the distance you sit from it along with your own acceptable level of depth. Even then, it takes a while for eyes to really adjust. It always feels a little forced for the first 5 minutes and then you settle into it and it just clicks, like with those magic eye pictures. It looks far sharper with the TV's than it does in the cinema's. Ultimately though, it's just a standard feature now. Your next TV will in all likely hood have 3D just built in. It's not an argument of whether it's worth paying any extra money for anymore, it's just part of the furniture (pun intended). The screens that don't need glasses, like what the 3DS has, requires you to be sitting square in front. It turns into a mess from a different angle, which is I'm sure what the hold up is with that technology. Fine for a handheld, but the glasses are still a better option for the TV. Missing my point anyway - if you don't like it then don't bother with it. At least though it does contribute something to gaming for a lot more people than the years they've wasted with social media and advertising crap that they have been. What exactly causes this urge in people to have to speak up against something like this? Fark, let us dumbasses with the goggles enjoy it and by the time the rest of you get onboard then they may have just done enough research to improve it to where you want it to be, unless you'd rather tell them you need more Facebook. |

I could never see those magic eye pictures. But anyway, I wouldn't go out of my way to pay for 3D, even if it was a 10/15min sample test in a store, its still rubbish, even at the cinemas I never liked it and spending a couple of hours watching something there in 3D. I don't get excited enough over it to bother which goes the same for anything with social media rubbish in it and linking to Facebook and so on. As with social media crap, 3D is being force-fed and overhyped to everyone so its bound to cause people to argue its usefulness and irrelevance to things. My main gripe with 3D typically stems from movies being forced into using 3D for its fancy effects and story lines being compromised to suit the use of 3D, they all try to make use of the 3D and it ruins the decent camera action and whatever else all to suit the stuff coming out the screen etc. But I said all that before in another thread anyway. |
