Is 3d Vision still worth getting into or should I just wait for Oculus Rift?
I have a lot of old titles still to play that could use it and I have a compatible monitor, plus it's presumably cheaper than OR.
But I see a lot of 3d Vision is dying and stuff like that with less and less support from NVidia it sounds like.
Official support is likely (mostly) dead going forward, but the back catalog titles (and perhaps some future unofficial Helix-style mods) that give you full parallax and convergence controls are still the best 3D content around--even better than the current state (e.g. DK1 and DK2) of VR IMO. Games that give you such control can actually be made to look like a 1:1 physical diorama existing within your display's bezel, which is an undeniably incredible looking effect. It is a crying shame that display manufacturers went to market with such horribly deficient product and content producers put out such shitty samples (e.g. all Hollywood films, most console games), cause the hype was real and the technology works. Problem is virtually no one actually got a chance to see real 3D, which I define as the 1:1 diorama effect.
