[shadowsdarknes]

I've wanted to try Wipeout HD in 3d for the longest time.

However, I still turn 3d off on the 3ds. Don't like it one bit.

[RedNumberFive]

You haven't lived until you've played Child of Eden in 3D.

[11redder]

I still haven't gotten glasses for my Panasonic ST30, so I haven't played any console games in 3D. My PS3 has had several YLODs over the last year, so when I eventually get around to buying the glasses, the PS3 will probably be dead. I'm most looking forward to playing Ico and SOTC in 3D.

I play in 3D on the 3DS the whole time, with the exception of Revelaitons, it just looks so much better in 2D.

[famousmortimer]

Yes. I have a passive 3d monitor and I love it. It's a nice compliment, like 5.1. And like 5.1 - i don't always want to use it - but when i do im glad i have it.

[bigjimmystyle]

I have a 3DTV, and whilst I don't mind playing games in 3D I honestly just could not be fucked putting the glasses on. It's not that much of a hassle, but it's not really worth the extra effort either. I only play games in 3D on my 3DS that are worthwhile (Super Mario 3D Land)

[DimmuBurgerKing]

3D games that use the 3D to good effect are great, and that includes most 3DS games. I'll never understand people who hate 3D games or movies, unless they just can't see it at all.

[T-Matt]

Not yet, but the playstation display is tempting me. Anyone have that and enjoy it?

[yellowjacket25]

I do sometimes. I played all of Ico in 3D. Tumble, in 3D with the Move is a pretty fun and unique experience. The novelty of it has worn off a little for me though.

[burgerdog]

Just to check out the effect and then I go back to 2D mode. The resolution drop is too drastic, unfortunately.

[ReBurn]

I love Super Stardust HD and Wipeout HD in 3D. These games prove that console 3D is no joke.

[cakefoo]

I recommend:
Uncharted 3
ICO/SOTC
God of War Origins
Motorstorm Apocalypse
Killzone 3
Wipeout HD
Super Stardust HD
Tumble (Move only)

I hear good things:
Child of Eden
De Blob
Avatar

Didn't care for their 3D:
Gran Turismo 5
MLB 12 The Show
Resistance 3

Games that have fake, assy 3D, yet get praise:
Crysis 2
Batman Arkham City

[teebs33]

I tried Batman, and Uncharted 3. But much like any time I try to use the 3d on my 3d TV I got motion sickness within 30 minutes and decided stop.

[teebs33]

I recommend: Games that have fake, assy 3D, yet get praise: Crysis 2 Batman Arkham City

What's the Fake 3D? How does it differ?

[Q8D3vil]

i tried uncharted 3 and it was a piece of shit.

in the other hand i play 3d games on pc with nvidia vision and its the best thing ever.

[Cold-Steel]

I just recently picked up a pair of PlayStation 3D glasses to go with my Panasonic 50" GT30 and over the past two days I've been basically trying 3D for the first time with a bunch of games.

I'm loving it so far. I was pretty skeptical at first but once I tried it, it was great. Here's how I'd rate the 3D in the games I've played so far:

AAA Tier 3D [The 3D is REALLY, REALLY good]
-Super Stardust HD (PS3)

A Tier 3D [The 3D is very well done and/or implemented]
-Uncharted 3 (PS3)
-Batman Arkham City (360)
-Crysis 2 (360)
-Gran Turismo 5 (PS3)
-Assassins Creed Revelations (PS3)
-Wipeout HD (PS3)
-Motorstorm Pacific Rift (PS3) [Demo]

B Tier 3D [The 3D is pretty good or adds a neat effect]
-Gears of War 3 (360)
-Swords & Soldiers (PS3)
-Motorstorm Apocalypse (PS3) [Demo]
-Killzone 3 (PS3)

C Tier 3D [The 3D is meh or below average]
-Mortal Kombat (PS3)

Games I haven't tried in 3D yet but I plan to when I get around to them:
-SOCOM 4 (PS3)
-The Fight Lights Out (PS3)
-Batman Arkham Asylum GOTY Edition (360)
-Resistance 3 (PS3)
-ICO/SOTC Collection (PS3)
-Call of Duty Black Ops (PS3)

[Danthrax]

I've only tried it with Gears of War 3, and it was pretty cool. I liked it, it worked well. I tried it because it was the only thing I owned with which I could try out my new TV's 3D effect, heh, so it's nice Gears had it.

I've since gotten Batman: Arkham City, but I haven't tried out the 3D in it yet. I've been meaning to.

[cakefoo]

What's the Fake 3D? How does it differ?

Rather than render two camera angles like true 3D, they render the image for one eye, apply a depth map to the same image, and pass off the resulting frame as the second eye view. It looks like the early rushed postconverted movies, like Last Airbender and Clash of the Titans.

[Gameboy415]

I do! :)

I got my 3DTV back in January and I've gradually been trying out all of the 3D games I have.

So far I've played and recommend these games in 3D(all PS3):

-Avatar: The Game (it's not automatic 3D, but still looks pretty great)
-Child of Eden
-ICO/Shadow of the Colossus HD
-Sonic Generations
-Super Stardust HD
-Uncharted 3

Other 3D games I have but have yet to try:
-Assassin's Creed: Revelations (already finished it before I got the TV)
-Batman: Arkham City (just sold my copy to upgrade to the upcoming GOTY edtion)
-Crysis 2 (got it for $2.50 used with Best Buy coupons, haven't gotten around to it yet)
-Motorstorm Apocalypse (got it on clearance a while back, haven't gotten around to it yet)
-several Playstation Move games that I got on clearance over the last few years

Also, my TV is able to do "Simulated 3D" which converts 2D content into 3D.
It's not perfect, but I tried playing Rez HD on 360 in simulated 3D and it was amazing!

I actually don't mind it that much. I hardly noticed it was 'fake' when playing it.

From what I played today, it was pretty cool to experience. I found playing Crysis 2 to be one of the better 3D experiences.

[Metalic]

3D is and shall always be a gimmick to me so no.

[Trancetronic]

I would like to but I don't think I could do it. The last time I watched "full scale 3D" was seeing Tron Evolution in theaters. Although it was awesome, it made my eyes extremely tired after the movie was over.

[cacildo]

Dont have a 3d tv, dont care to buy one.

[Bebpo]

ICO (no downgrade in 3d mode and the 3d adds a lot to the artistic vision of the game)

Silent Hill Downpour (because the framerate for some reason is BETTER in 3d lol)

That's about it.

[ZealousD]

I did it in God of War Origins. I thought it worked pretty well. Helps that it never dipped below 30 fps.

[NIGHT-]

I love the 3d on my ST50. For some reason, I can't calibrate Resistance 3 to work right. It always looked really off in 3d

[2real4tv]

I like 3d games more than movies, enjoyed Killzone 3 alot.

[Smokey]

I do occasionally, but I have a beefy rig that can run PC games in 3D at 1080p, maxed settings, and average 50-60fps.

That experience makes it very hard to go back to my consoles and play in 3D, sub-HD, <30 fps etc. Some console games look like a beast in 3D, but I can't help but feel it's a bit too much for this round of consoles.

I think next-gen will do it justice.

1%gaf? Has nvidia 3d things gotten good yet? 3D games on consoles sounds terrible due to even more shit fps.

Yup. I use nvidia 3d vision and it's great. They also have new monitors out for 3d vision 2 that makes the picture brighter, and the glasses are wider. It's a pretty good experience.

I cant play games in 3D on my consoles due to frame rate and generally shocking image quality bar a few PSN 3D games but when im using my HTPC gaming rig on my 50" 3D plasma it looks great! My favorite is PES in 3D

[HeresSomeWeapons]

I have a 3ds and never used the 3d once...

...Then why buy a 3DS?

[Dacvak]

...Then why buy a 3DS?

Maybe he only has one eye. >_o 'yarrr'

[consoul]

Motorstorm Apocalypse and WipEoutHD/Fury.
So so good in 3D. You must play these.

Silent Hill Downpour really does seem to perform better in 3D than 2D. The effect is good.

Resistance 3 was absolutely worth playing in 3D. Very immersive.
Uncharted 3 and Killzone 3 were OK in 3D. Better in 2D.

De Blob 2 looks amazing in 3D. Game didn't grab me though.

Tumble. In 3D with Move controllers, you'll feel like Tom Cruise in that movie. Especially if you're wearing shades, socks and underpants and cranking some Bob Segar. Oh wait.

Child of Eden. 3D makes you trip harder.

Sonic Generations. The impression of depth is very good but I found this one too hard on my eyes to persist with.

Batman Arkham City does a pretty good job of fake 3D. It's no match for real stereoscopic 3D but it manages to give the illusion of depth without compromising the visuals.

[LeleSocho]

...Then why buy a 3DS?

You know... Nintendo stuff.
Anyway it's not like i can't see the effect or have bad eyesight the fact is that i don't like it one bit, think it doesn't add anything to the experience and i can totally see in the long run damaging your eyes if you do long sessions of gameplay so in the end for me not using it is like to pick two birds with one stone.

[PigSpeakers]

...Then why buy a 3DS?

To play games on.


I play my 3DS in 3D because I quite like it. I switch between having it on and off depending upon the situation though. At night, it's quite nice. In the sunlight, it's a no-go.

[Ocaso]

This "fake" 3D, though certainly not as good as true 3D, is still better than the sloppy conversions because the depth information is actually in the game and not merely inferred from a flat image. I can't vouch for how initial implementations of it were, but Arkham City looked great, as does Crysis. As a plus, they don't have to decrease the resolution to pull it off.

[SaintMadeOfPlaster]

Maybe it hurts their eyes? I don't own one, but have used one a few times and it just makes my eyes go all fucked up. Have to turn it off.

It's like that for everybody at first. It took about an hour for me to get used to it, but now my eyes don't have to work at all to adjust.

[Linconan]

I play 3D on my HMZ-T1 all the time.
Craps all over my 3DTV in comparison.
No crosstalk etc..

I love and support 3D.
If a games got it, i'll get it.
It's more immersive than playing in normal 2D.

Socom 4
Uncharted 3
Batman AC
StarDust HD
Resistance 3
Gran Turismo 5
Killzone 3
Mortal Kombat

and many more, all awesome!

Can't what for that one to release on this weeks update
Cant remember whats its called atm dammit.. starts with D.
?
edit: Datura

Most Playstation 3 games in 3D is wicked (depending of), but Next Gen i hope SONY will allow 1080p 3D since they put the restrictions on the PS3 (i'm pretty sure i read somewhere) and the only one to allow/had 1080p was Stardust HD i think before they put the cap on.
And,
to make it compulsory to include an option for 3D in all games, but that's wishfull thinking.
Especially with peoples comments like Todd Howard,... and yet could'nt even get their game working properly in 2D! LOL

3D would be the only way i'd fly, if i could.

The 3D made no sense. In the real world our perception of depth/layers starts out strong up close, and progressively becomes muted as we look farther away. In BAC the immediate surroundings in like a 15 foot diameter would often look completely flat, or only barely embossed. Then as you looked further out you'd see things start to look more 3D than things that were in your immediate vicinity, which is the complete opposite of natural native stereo. Plus the 3D was very weak overall- the TV size cheat didn't help. Games like BAC might as well be played in 2D so I can enjoy the graphics without the distraction of all the 3D flaws.

[CaseyTappy]

I just started playing games in 3D on my HMZ and Killzone 3 was an unreal experience, I finished it in 2 days and just ordered Resistance 3 cause I need that 3D FPS fix again .
Flicker free 3D without any crosstalk on a freaking huge virtual screen , the scale of that huge mech near the end was breath taking .

[ShinUltramanJ]

Maybe it hurts their eyes? I don't own one, but have used one a few times and it just makes my eyes go all fucked up. Have to turn it off.

It can annoy me after a bit, but I've been using it more and more when playing.

[yankeehater]

I have a 3DTV that I use all the time for games. I also have a 3DS but I cant use the 3D on it. I cant hold the 3DS still enough when playing and the 3D looks horrible on it for me.

Yeah, I play using my HMZ-T1 as well. The unit isn't very comfortable, unfortunately, but the 3D effect is second to none.

[TriGen]

I really find it weird when people say they dont use the 3d on their 3DS. I always use it, it feels weird using it without the 3d on.

Same here, I thought SM3DL was a very pretty game, always have it on 100%, without the 3D it probaly wouldn't of impressed me in the same way.

As far as a full 3D tv, I do my gaming on one, but I don't play in 3D that often. Some I do though, and they are really impressive, SotC looks real nice in 3D.

[dark10x]

I really find it weird when people say they dont use the 3d on their 3DS. I always use it, it feels weird using it without the 3d on.

Well, the problem is simply that the 3DS screens are too reflective, not particularly bright, and suffer from severe viewing angle problems in 3D.

Depending on the lighting conditions around you it can actually become very difficult to enjoy. I sometimes game a bit over lunch and the bright lights in my office reflect on the screen making it more difficult to see. With 3D games, it just becomes annoying and I wind up turning it off. If I play the system in a dark room I'll usually use the 3D function, but it just doesn't work for me in all cases. The viewing angle is also an issue if I'm not seated in a comfortable position that allows me to keep it steady.

Also, in some cases, games can operate at a faster framerate OR offer anti-aliasing when using the non-3D mode.

I enjoy 3D quite a bit, but the 3DS isn't as well suited to it as I would have liked. A larger, brighter screen with a wider viewing angle would do wonders for the system.

[BibiMaghoo]

I game in 3D about a quarter of the time on my PS3.

Some games make little difference, some are made worse, others better. I've found generally if it's a graphically impresive game it isn't worth using, as they usually take a hit in visuals. Racers seem to do the best in my opinion, with Motorstorm, Gran Turismo and Wipeout being better for it. Crysis 2 was ok aswell.

Uncharted wasn't great with it for me, the visual hit was to much in single player. I also found R3 unplayable in 3D, as the point the crosshairs met made shooting difficult. It hindered the game.

[Ocaso]

Since I'm a proponent of stereo 3D, and since this thread is still fairly recent, I'd just like to point out that the 3D in Halo Anniversary is fantastic! I purchased it in the recent Toys R Us sale and I was not expecting it to be anywhere near as good as it is. I'm not sure if it surpasses Shadow of the Colossus as the best showpiece for the tech, but anybody who enjoys 3D gaming has to try it out.

[Cjdamon042]

I use the 3D on my 3DS all the time because why not, it's there, it's one of the main features and in most games it looks great. Doesn't strain my eyes, don't have many problems with ghosting or losing the 3D. Honestly, I really like it. Some games don't do the 3D as well as others, but there's never been a case where I've had to turn it off completely.

As for consoles/PC, I don't have a 3D monitor or anything, though I'm willing to bet if I did it would be on a per-game basis, unlike the 3DS where I have it on all the time. It would depend on whether the console/PC could handle it well or not with little sacrifices to the graphics. That and if I could be bothered or not to put on the glasses. Don't have a problem with glasses but obviously with the 3DS it's there right in front of me with no effort on my part.

I'll probably wait until glasses-free 3DTVs or something for 3D console/PC gaming.

[UrbanRats]

I always thought 3d was merely a gimmick, i doesn't impress me in movies (the one i saw, anyway) and photos.. there's this cardboard effect going on that is ugly :\.
But i was curious about games, so i decided to take the risk and pick up a 120hz monitor with Nvidia 3d vision 2 (since i have an nvidia card) to try them.
First i hooked up my ps3, tried SotC, Ico and Uncharted 3; the first two were ok, but again i was a bit underwhelmed, the latter was far better, really natural round shapes and cool looking, still though, not incredibly impressed.
I was a bit bummed, to be honest, but then i hooked it up to the PC and tried a few games (Just Cause 2, Trine 2, Batman Arkham City, Tomb Raider Underworld, Napoleon Total War, The Witcher 2 and others) and.. i never eat a crow this tasty, wow, this shit is unbelievable, Trine 2 is literally a physical diorama inside the screen, Just Cause 2 with superman mod in 3D is astonishing and so are all the others.
Frankly i'm seriously shocked by how well it works, it's fucking with my brain.

I was playing Assassin's Creed 2 when a flying leaf "left" the screen coming in my face, and i instinctively dodged; i felt like a fucking moron, but it was awesome.

Well, now i'm definitely a believer in the technology, if done right.

EDIT: I want to add that unfortunately, several games have minor to huge bugs, but so far i'm pretty satisfied with the ratio of unplayable versu playable games, i wish it had more support, though.

[Alex]

Nope, dont care for it and it's a power hog at that so I'd want it to remain the meek afterthought it is currently. It's a shame the 3DS is saddled with it, especially on that one cm viewing angle shit screen on a wobbly hinge, but at least theres a few games on the platform that add anti aliasing and other perks when you turn it off. Should be a damn requirement, I am disappointed when I flip it off and it's still a jagged mess with no compensation.

[Piggus]

It's the only way to play WipEout HD.

This. Wipeout HD in 3d is awesome.

[Afrikan]

yeah I love 3D gaming..

we have a 80" 3DTV in the living room....and I have 42" Plasma 3D in my room (which I don't use for 3D anymore)...and I have the Sony HMZ 3D head mount.

I want to play Skyrim in 3D though, but I don't have a rig.....anyone know if AMD A6 laptop with 6gbs of ram could handle that?
