Many of us really aren't sold on this whole stereoscopic 3D thing -- whether it be for movies, sports, or even gaming -- like, at all. But hey, that's not going to stop companies like Sony from pushing forward with the trend while it's still all up in our faces.
The new line of 3D-capable Bravia HDTVs will soon be appearing in stores, now that they are up for presale. Wait, isn't this a gaming blog? Yeah. Here's the relevance: four PlayStation 3 games are going 3D tomorrow for those with a fancy-pants TV and the willingness to flip the magical dimension-adding switch.
Those titles are WipEout HD, Super Stardust HD, PAIN, and the demo for MotorStorm Pacific Rift. If you happen to buy one of the aforementioned Bravia sets, you'll get a voucher for these PlayStation Network downloads.
Yes, this is only a taste of what's to come. 3D support has also been announced for The Fight: Lights Out, which actually sounds somewhat interesting to me. PlayStation Move working in conjunction with 3D could be cool, I guess.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Having said that, there's nothing I care about. Not until they get all of Planet Earth on 3D Blu-Ray.
I've been pretty impressed by the stereoscopic 3d films I've seen.
So yeah, screw your anti-hype I'm stoked.
Oh wait, no I don't...
I will still be rocking my crappy tube and using other people's expensive TVs until then... because I can't bring myself to spend so much money on toys- even really cool ones.
"real 3d will be the future of gaming, all you losers can stay in the past with your bitch ass NES & stupid 8-bit shit."
You sound like an ignorant redneck with your Reductio ad Absurdum. But, hey.. if it makes you feel better to insult people that happen to disagree with you then you go for it, tough guy.
As 3D stands right now, I think it's a stupid gimmick. Wanna fight about it?
Now one day in the far off future it may somehow become more compelling as technology gets better and it's not so obtrusive. But until that happens it's not going to be the future of anything.. except our landfills.
I'm sure 3D will be "the shit" in 5-10 years, but as for now, color me uninterested.
3D isn't going to reward you for sticking up for it
that's a shame I was looking forward to playing God of War III in 3D
"I remember back when people threw a shit fit about the switch from 2d to 3d. most gamers are still stuck in the past & if you cant move on, well you can just stay there."
You say this as if 3D is suddenly the mainstream and has already proven that it isn't a fad, yet. It hasn't. 3D, if it's here to stay, has a loooong way to go before it gets the point where you get to call others "stuck in the past". Therefore I ask you, what the hell are you talking about?
"Haters gonna Hate. "
And people that spout dumb shit gonna spout dumb shit.
Remember people, 3D will always be optional, like it has been most of the time. Don't like it? Don't use it.
I think *you're* stuck in the past. This lame, gimmicky 3D tech was developed in like the 1950's.. This isn't a new technology.. It's not even really 3D.. you realize that right.
Just like blu-ray was supposed to be the next big thing... OH WAIT.
What does motion controls have to do with our conversation about 3D?
By contrast, the new 3d TVs are at least backlit. I still haven't seen the killer app for 3d, but I think TV's are and will be doing 3d much better than cinemas until they can come up with a way to get the image back up to the luminance of a 2d film.
For a bunch of people who share such a progressive hobby you guys sure are afraid of change.
