Looks cool to me. The eyes do give her a bit of a cartoony look, which is a smidge weird only because the rest of her face is soooo realistic. But hey, she's a robot.

If twitter were around during ST: TNG, people would be saying "OMG, why is Data so PALE?!" and news outlets would immediately brand the character and show a failure.

@djderek42 I agree, it's kind of ironic, Sony has abandoned 3d just as it has finally gained a foothold in people's homes. They tried to push it when nobody had a 3dtv, and now that lots of people do they've abandoned it. Good 3d makes a game SO MUCH MORE IMMERSIVE, and is the most significant graphical step in gaming since moving from sprites to polygons. You've got plenty of haters out there, but they're nearly all people who judge 3d by the terrible 3d in movies or from the substandard 3d of most 3ds games (mind you, there are a handful of 3ds games with great 3d).

Once you've played Tomb Raider in 3d on a well-equipped pc, you can never look back. I'll take crap graphics in rich 3d over any 9800p resolution dynamic lighting full bloom whatever ANY DAY.

It doesn't help that gaming websites have abandoned 3d, too - the same ones that all lauded it as the next big thing when the first 3ds demos hit.

This is exactly the kind of game that would look ridonculous in stereoscopic. Slightly isometric, view distance doesn't stretch back too far (see God of War Origins games, aMAZING 3d). Please add 3d support! Ironic that devs (and console makers) are turning their attention away from 3d now that everyone is going to have one in their living room by default, just cuz they cost about the same as 2d tv's now.

Even if all the big problems of the past get solved, there's still one huge problem I see that nobody seems to bring up - how are you supposed to AIM in a first person game? If the typical mouselook axis is simply switched to the headset, you would have to aim by turning your head. Which sounds incredibly, horribly no-fun and counter-intuitive. Will there be separate aiming and "looking" axes?


Looks fun for driving games, though.

Friggin'. Awesome. I was growing kind of weary of the Marvel License, and was thinking maybe they could go DC... but this is even better! Sidenote, if you only ever play one game in stereoscopic 3d on your ps3, it should be THIS game. Zen Pinball is the showcase for 3d actually enriching a game experience. Absolutely beautiful.

vongroove, not that I feel a super-urgent need to prove it to you, but it's an Alienware M18x with SLI'd 580m's - note that I put the "m" to show that it was the mobile version. You might say that I might not be a "real pc person" because I got an Alienware, and you'd be partially right - but it had by far the best deal out there at the time for what I wanted, so I went with dreaded Dell. I also have SLI'd standard NVIDIA 560's on my desktop out front, but that's running on an old gateway dual-core, and isn't nearly as fast (though on paper a 580m and standard 560 are about equivalent), but it still smokes any current console.

I've always kept up on video cards and consoles, had every console on or near launch for almost 20 years, but have only recently dipped into SLI.

I happen to agree that all the poor pc porting of console titles is a shame, and that practically nothing gets developed for pc as "lead platform" anymore. It really is a shame, and hurts the quality of pc gaming. No reason to take it out on console gamers, though. My main reason for maintaining a smoking pc is because I can't stand the 30fps standard on console - I'm a 60fps man. But I don't begrudge the people who are perfectly happy with 30fps. And there are a lot of amazing console exclusives out there.

Calm down, bro, there's fun everywhere.
