Last year I shelled out the cash for a 3D setup since I needed an upgrade anyway. Ended up going with nVidia 3D Vision and it's made gaming much more immersive. Fallout and New Vegas are best with it, its like stepping into both games, and Oblivion is almost as good, aside from the fact 3D reveals that most items arn't actually standng on whatever they are placed on. Food floats a little above plates for example.

However, games that have been aware of 3D Vision and done something about it usually implement it with amazing results. Just Cause 2 as my favorite example.

I mean, unless it's completely unplayable in 3D either from system demands or just in general, i'll be using it anyway. I'm still curious if anyone knows anything or has heard anything? If the PC version is listed as nVidia intended that would be a good sign.

N.

Since the 3D sales and expectations have been booming recently, I don't see why they wouldn't.

Oh no. Todd has stated before that he "could care less" about 3D. "Honestly, I couldn't care less - having to wear those glasses! I'm not a 3D fan. It ruins the image for me," he said. "I want the clarity. I think everyone's going to keep trying, but I'm not sure."

Is funny joke, da?

i dont have a 3d tv soooo..... :unsure2:

Actually he is right. The average consumer can get svcked into anything

No. 3D is a stupid gimmick just like motion controls. Games don't need them and they svck.

Ah well, i'm sure it'll work anyway, since thankfully it set up to take advanatge of the games being already 3D. Being one of, if not the, big title of the year then it's likely the 3D Vision Driver Devs will put in the effort to get it working if it doesn't.

It's a little disturbing when a director doesn't care about another option, that is actually pretty simple to implement, when he gets so excited about being able to chop wood. don;t get me wrong, I like chopping wood, I just really disagree that 3D makes things less 'clear'. I actually see -more- detail in games with it. Picture quality doesn't degarde at all, it just gets a little darker, which your eyes adjust to. I find going abck to none-3D hard and bleak after playing with it. I really don;t get the argument over the glasses. Thats like saying 'ugh, those headphones' or 'ack, having to use that mouse/keyboard/wiimote'. I'll take it as code for 'Sterioscopic 3D is mostly on PCs at the moment, so we don;t care about it.'

Sad that it won't use it to the best effect, but at least it should still work, at least as well as previous Bethesda games.

Edit: I disagree, JerZeyCJ. I find that 3D immerses me almost too deeply into the games. Opinions are fun things.

Real open minded there

They add pretty much nothing, really, and nobody's doing it right anyways. Killzone 3 looks like a pop-up book.

please no.

And I agree with him. A good game/movie doesn't need 3D to be good. If it does need 3D tacked on, then chances our it's not a good game on it's own.

No. Just No. The current 3D technology is nothing more then a gimmick that requires people to buy brand new T.V.s, glasses, service providers, games, just about everything. Theres no need for it, and until we have holographic curved OLED screens that surround us there never will be.

Commonly know as 'sheeple.'

So I suppose there is no room to disagree with your divine decrees? I bow to your obviously superior viewpoints.

Not meaning to be insulting, but I find such statements insulting to those of us who actually appreciate and enjoy 3D. I'm not going to argue about it because there is no point, but 'statements' rather than opinions on such thing are a sore spot. They disregard what othe rpeople might feel, unles sof course they share the viewpoint, and are overall uncalled for. History will tell whether its a gimick this time around. Either way, i'm not selling my 3D glasses and will continue to enjoy my 3D games. Hope that isn't a problem since I have apparantly sold out and bought into a pointless gimick, even if it is one that has increased my agming enjoyment twofold and has been constantly used for eight months. And i'm also apparantly a sheep. My deepest apologies.

However, a holographic curved screen does sound pretty sweet.

I'm so happy this is Todd's attitude on 3D gaming. Personally, I think it's a gimmick.

i have to laugh because one of my neighbors bought a 3D tv and he and his familiy sit there wearing those stupid glasses. its great if you have specific 3D movies, unfortunately most movies only have a couple of scenes where they actually use 3D effects. one day i walk in and they are watching a regular TV show with the stupid glasses on. i told him that hes wasting his time cause its not in 3D. just move your head. does the image move with you like in avatar or parts of toy story at the very end? its like a lightbulb went on in his head. all this time he and his family had been wearing those stupid glasses and they didnt even realize it wasnt 3D. :rofl:

Wow, this is actually quite scary, the venom this brings out in people. D=

You didn't sell out so to speak. Also, your question about Skyrim was answered
:3

Yup. as I said earlier, disapointing, but won't stop it working. Just means I might have to wait for nVidia to get their drivers out.

I just compiled the various insults together. People throw insults around too easily.

It can get nasty but this is a passionate topic. The best example of a 3D gimmick I can give is Avatar. Almost everyone says the movie was awesome because of the 3D. However, not much mention the plot. It's basically a Pocahontas/Dancing with Wolves remake with awesome 3D. Without 3D, people can see right through the plot.

I actually never saw Avatar n 3D, my first 3D film was the latest Resident Evil a long time after getting my computer set up for it. I just play 3D games. I don't feel its a 'deal breaker' either way, but it really has changed gaming for me. If I go back to 'normal' after playing Sterio 3D it takes a while for the game to start looking good again.

I don't quite get why it's so 'passionate'. Its a feature in most things, not something forced upon someone.

Then you are doing it wrong. I've been using nVidia 3D vision technology and it is fantastic. I'm not talking the crappy red/blue classes here, I'm talking the shutter glasses. 120 htz dividing the frames up for each eye (effectively making it 60htz each eye which is the norm). actual 3D modeled games (which pretty much all new games are) are certainly not over lapping 2D images at different depths. If you see that, you haven't set your computer up right.

Now some people can't even see the 3D (no two brains are alike and they work in mysterious ways) and for them I say, since you can't experience it, you really have no opinion on how it affects gaming experience.

It would be nice if they worked with this. Not only is 3D for the pc, now with 3d tv's taking over the scene. Oblivion in 3D was absolutely astonishing and Skyrim is supposed to have even better graphics over Oblivion.
I can see it being no big deal though...for Oblivion I had to turn down water and glass detail to get rid of shadowing/ghosting and the 3D didn't work so hot with shadows so I shut them off (all of which increases performance anyway). I saw two 'crosshair' icons when not focused on it directly but the geforce technology comes with its own crosshair (a page of different styles to choose from).

The shadowing/ghosting, I'm afraid is inherent to my setup (monitor maybe, I don't know for sure) but the problem with shadows has to do with the game (The Witcher 2 has shadows that work just fine with it).

That's my problem with a lot of these people. Passion is fine; wonderful in fact. What would the world be without passionate people? But just because you are passionate, does not make you right, nor does it mean your opinion is greater than that of another, nor does it mean their opinion is wrong. Some people are passionate about art (like, museum art); I'm not one of those people. I find most art museums to be rather boring. But does that mean there is something wrong with people that love it? Nope. Does it mean there is something wrong with me for not liking it? Nope.

I for one am glad people have different tastes than me. If everyone liked the same things I liked, and disliked everything I dislike, the world would be a pretty boring place. And stagnant.
