XBOX 360 Full Stereoscopic 3D update...... ( About Time )

Really about time. I forgot when was the last time I played a game without Steroscopic 3D on my PS3 / PC.

I can't believe just now X360 is catching up with what became the default in gaming for sometime now. I dare anyone to name 1 game that doesn't support Steroscopic 3D on the PS3 / PC released during the past 2 years.

I'm all for 3D.. I got a 50 inch 1080p 3D 2011 plasma after all.

3D effects will be out of this world when they can finally get out new consoles.

3D is deader than Lazarus. I laugh at these movies and games that trotted 3D out as some new tech. I am just glad this idea that media is somehow better in 3D was short lived.

It's not dead, it simply become more common, is there something left from HD boom? No because HDTV's are now normal thing. It wont change the fact that 3D will evolve, because this is only direction video technology can go other then incresing the resolution, which got it's limits of sense same as refresh rates. No to mention 3D is only way to go for augmiented reality and virtual reality.

3D is not evolving it is devolving, and why is it people actually think almost 100 year old gimmicks are fresh and new?

3D is nowhere near main stream and if you went to a store you would see fewer and fewer monitor manufacturers talking about the tech. I laugh when I see people putting on the goggles in the store to try 100 year old tech.

Look ma new antiques.

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="donalbane"] Clearly you don't know how the 360 has handled 3D relative to the PS3 until now, which makes sense because one has to own a 3D tv to have a basis for comparison.

EDIT: One good edit deserves another.

Actually if anything I don't know why people seem to jump on 3DTVs as being expensive to begin with, or calling them rare.

Example a TV like the Panasonic ST30 is a 42inch plasma which only costs $800 with exceptional performance in 2D and 3D playback. By no means is this an astronomical price.

[QUOTE="donalbane"][QUOTE="delta3074"]i edited my post becuaese i realise i made a mistake, i am man enough to admit it,what's your point? no i don't own a 3D TV, some of us have other prioritys in life, like a wife and kids to support, i have no intention of buying an overpriced TV for a feature which,quite frankly, does not justify the cost of such a purchase in my opnion.NVIDIATI

Most people don't make $800 a month on a global scale. We are a privlaged bunch to think $800 is not a lot of money.

[QUOTE="NVIDIATI"]

[QUOTE="donalbane"] So people who have 3DTVs don't know how to prioritize their lives? Seriously... I think this whole "I HATE 3D!" thing gets way out of hand all of the time on these forums, often devolving into some sort of masked financial superiority/inferiority debate. I'm not some elitist who is bragging about how much money I have... I make an extremely modest income, am also married, and had to save for a year and a half to afford a my 3DTV, which I needed because my old, cheap-ass Westinghouse was on death's doorstep. If you have to buy a new TV anyway, and look hard and long enough for a good deal, you can get one for almost exactly the same price as a similar sized 2DTV. I really wish we could talk about cool features and technological innovations in gaming without pushing peoples buttons regarding personal matters like one's commitment to their family. kuu2

If you can afford $60 games...

I'd prefer if the technology that was being pushed for games was more along the lines of HOLOGRAPHIC tabletop games. I enjoy 3D from time to time, but it really is bad for the eyes.

Don't think 360 owners will feel much differently.

[QUOTE="donalbane"] It could do crappy 3d - their old solution halved the resolution when in 3D mode. This update will allow the 360 to provide the same 720p 3D currently enjoyed by PS3 users. Not moot at all. donalbane

Did Eurogamer (Or another such site) not compare both 3D solutions in Black Ops and judge the 360 to be superior?

I'm not saying it's 3D solution is better thern Stereoscopic 3D, but in that particular title it was, If I recall correctly.

How is this embarrassing again? vashkey

did kuu2 just say that 3d tech hasnt evolved? you think the active/passive glasses used today are the same as the anaglyph glasses used in the 50's? i never knew 3d was 100 years old, did they even have 3d material in 1911?krayzieE99

As you can see, saying that modern 3D is a devolved version of this sort of technology is just inflamatory hyperbole to get attention.

*sees lens of truth link*

Sorry any thread that contains LoT in anyway, shape or form, I consider an automatic fail. It is one of the most dumbest things about this gen, by far.

*walks out*

[QUOTE="donalbane"]

[QUOTE="GTSaiyanjin2"]Its still the same. Some PS3 games can do 720p 3D like stardust, and wipeout, but games like uncharted 3 and killzone hvae to run at a lower resolution. For ex Killzone 3 3D resolution is640x716 the reason for that is because the PS3 has to render everything twice, and in some cases textures, effects, and frame rate have to be lowered so the PS3 can actually run them.

Gears 3 looks terrible in 3D. yuck.

[QUOTE="donalbane"][QUOTE="delta3074"]moot point,360 could already do stereoscopic 3D, avatar on the 360 was already in stereoscopic 3D, this update really is pontlessGTSaiyanjin2

I used to think 3D was a massive gimmick until I played around for a 3DS for a bit, I was impressed with the technology and now I love 3D. Does everything need to be in 3D? No. Should 3D however always be an option? Yes. I think when used right 3D can create new effects and visuals not before possible and can really help imersion with a game. That being said I'm holding out a 3DTV until they go glassless like the 3DS is.

Actually, I may be the first person to say this, but all movies and games are in 3d.... The movies and games already have depth back into it, the 3d just shoves the picture in front of you too. And the 3ds isn't even the new 3d, all it is a is the technology of an ipad + a 3D environment. Amazing, and guess what their coming up with next? A 3DS XL!!! It's just a bigger version of the 3DS!!! These people are so inovative.

[QUOTE="donalbane"]This is great news! I wondered why they hadn't implemented this sooner... I had to make macros on my Harmony One remote when switiching side-by-side 3D mode on and off to play Black Ops. I don't know why people hate on 3D so much. It's totally optional. It's not like they aren't going to make the games you like anymore. Maybe people are just angry that some people can do it while most can not. AmnesiaHaze

It would be nice if 3-D would drop dead again, already.

Cool, must be fun to mix Kinect and 3D same time :lol:

Personally I don't mind 3D, but I'm extremely disappointed in the manufacturers for slowing down progress of performance in displays to introduce this to the market. Still the best display which can be found is a 2D display from 2008, even the best 3D display on the market the Panasonic VT30 can't match up.

mix this with Kinect, AWESOME
