Well, I don't believe that i've ever seen a 3D image before. Never bothered to watch a movie in 3D or fiddle around with those red-blue glasses.

That being said, 3DS will pretty much be my first time seeing 3D! Oh, i'm going to be so excited when I unbox this thing! :D

So, are there any going to be any other first-timers out there or am I one of the few that haven't seen 3D? :P

nope. i don't think i really consider 3D it all that great either. WELL maybe the first time. after that it'll be like a stale act or something.

i actually prefer playing catch with my gameboy. feels like the game is really coming at me. cause it is.

and hello bruno.

oh wow, is that really all you have to say to me. oh goodness. right when i was predicting love confessions... TSK TSK.

but seriously. AP has been KILLING ME the whole school year. not getting much sleep either.

oh. and im drawing manga now.

-quick side note to stay on topic-- i see no reason why 3D will actually benefit the games. seems to me like its just some cool idea that will bring in money cause its innovative. and since im not wrong. ever. thats probably what it is.

Nahh. I've only seen one 3D movie, played Avatar in 3D. It was all very impressive, but I'm a little sceptical about how they're going to pull off proper 3D without the glasses. We shall see, it'll be interesting if nothing else.

nah, 3D is basically the next step in terms of graphics, since there's not much left 'till we reach the other side of the uncanny valley. it still has potential for some creative stuff.

Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it isn't there.
The move to go to 3D screens is not made to get "cooler" graphics but to better be able to move around in a 3D world. On a 2D screen there's no way to see the depth in a 3D environment, for instance in Super Mario 64/Sunshine/Galaxy 1 or 2 it can be very difficult to jump just right when you move in the z-axis as you can't judge the depth, with a 3D screen this will be as easy as jumping the right distance to the side.
3D will be a big benefit for games.

You can actually see 3D on Youtube if you don't mind crossing your eyes. Seriously, just do a youtube search on 3D cross eyes. Lots of them there give a 3D effect if you can stand keeping your eyes crossed like that (And the word I hear is that, though it might be uncomfortable, it's not harmful to your eyes).

Just search for stereograms instead, no need to cross your eyes.

A lot of people probably saw 3D before, 3D isn't exactly that new, it's actually very old. Back in the early 1900's people had actually made movies that had a lot of scenes with objects flying towards the camera. This was because they were already anticipating that 3D technology was coming out, sure, they didn't exactly have it back then, but they knew it was a matter of time. I watched a few 3 Stooges episodes that were made for 3D a long time ago but just recently had the blue and red 3D edges added. It's off topic, but i'm just saying. ;)

Shrek 1.5 3D was the first "film" I saw in 3D (It was a kinda bridge between the first and second that came with the DVD of the original movie. I have also seen Avatar in 3D, which was amazing.

I saw some Spy Kids movie and lion Nationial Geographic IMAX thing in "3D" but it was more like let's-see-how-long-it-taks-for-this-to-give-me-a-headache thing.

Hopefully the 3DS will be satisfactory.

No, I've had a few prior experiences with 3D stereographic gaming. There was with an arcade game that employed a helmet device. I can't remember what it was called, but it involved tanks. And then there is the PSP game Metal Gear Acid 2, which came with this funky gizmo to allow the game to be played in 3D. (it also has some MGS3 cinemas pre-rendered in 3D)

Actually, come to think of it, I also had a very brief encounter with a Virtual Boy many years ago.

Dang, looks like most people have seen 3D in some form. I really outta check out a good 3D movie some time. :P

I haven't even been able to get those stereo-pair and stereogram images that people have been posting lately to work for me. Hopefully i'll be able to enjoy the 3DS effects properly without worrying about that silly cross-eye nonsense.

That'll make the 3DS that much more awesome when I finally unboxing the darn thing. :D

the last step actually. anything beyond that would be no more than a minimal change.

what im saying is that its losing its appeal quickly. for example, movies in 3D are lots more common now. i used to be all gaga for 3D when it was unique to a few movies. i think that it should have a function too. 3D had zero purpose in toy story 3. made it look nicer, but still completely pointless. same with games. i dont think that games are going to be enhanced at all by adding the 3D aspect. the point of making the games in 3D is to earn money while 3D games are still unique. motion controls have lost a good amount of their market due to how all three major companies are already incorporating them into their games.

This 3D is not the last step at all. We only get the illusion of 3D and only from a specific point of view. There are many more areas where graphics can and will be developed.

Movies is one thing, there you have no control over what's going on so 3D is merely an experience enhancer.

No, no, no. You are wrong and have apparently not understood why the ability to perceive depth is so important to gaming.
We've had 3D games for several years now, but all the while we've been playing them on 2D screens making it impossible to judge depth in a 3D world.

Ever have problems jumping just right in a 3D platformer, ever have problems breaking right going into a turn in a racing game? This is due to the fact that you can't really see the difference in depth on a 2D screen.

With a 3D screen and a game that uses it you'll be able to see depth just like in reality and that will in turn make movement in a 3D game-world much more exact and natural.

Going from 2D screen to 3D screen is a much more important evolution than going from SD to HD resolution and it will have greater impact on gaming.

first issue-- i meant 3D in general. i mean that i doubt a major leap (graphics surrounding you) any time soon. but who knows? chinese people are monsters these days.

second issue-- so you really think it makes a difference if you interact with a character in a 3D interface? i dont think so. aren't we still kinda limited to where our eyes are? i think its gonna take a while for developers to create a 3D system without using a sensor.

third issue-- No, no, no. you are wrong and have apparently not understood human adaptation and perspective. because a character only moves how much you control them to move, there is ZERO difference between watching your character move in 3D and 2D. watching mario jump in 3D isn't going to make it easier for you to control. you're also unaware of adaptation. once you use a character, you become used to their actions because they are PRESET. pressing the A Button will always do the same action as it always has.

you might be right tho. i haven't tried 3D yet, so it might be easier to learn from. if you've tried it, go ahead and correct me tho. heehee.

Actually yes, it will be easier to control a character in a 3D world when you use a 3D screen.
I just explained it, it is impossible to judge depth on a 2D screen and as such you have to "guess" how long to jump when moving in the z-axis, with a 3D screen you will be able to tell how far into the image you are by depth perception.
You won't have to rely on for instance watching the shadow on the ground to know when you're over the point where you want to land.

I've done the 3D movie thing. Problem is I wear glasses and the 3D glasses weren't all that comfortable as a result. The glasses also made everything darker, and wasn't perfect either as I saw ghosting often enough to give me a mild headache.

If what I read about the 3DS is true then those problems should be resolved, cept maybe the headache part maybe.

I try to see 3D movies at theaters, even though it costs like $8 per person.
