Anyone played Metro and Just Cause 2 with 3d vision?

Hi,

I just got time tonight to play these two maxed out in 3d vision on a 90inch screen. WOW is all i can say. 3d in these two games has amazed me tonight, so much that i am typing this post. I have been around for years and never felt the urge to post a gaming experience straight after a long session, but right now i have to.

Anyone else played these 2 in 3d? What are your opinions? Any others you can recommend to give a similar wow factor?

Thanks in advance,

Phil.

only 30 posts and you been member since 2003 ? nice ! What kind of screen you got thats 90inch ?

Acer H5360 projector, got it a few weeks ago. Only 720p, but im good with that as it ensure my fps in 3d are smooth. Brilliant projector, no crosstalk at all, and cheaper than most lcd tv's in the uk. But even more amazing than that are thesetwo games tonight in 3d vision, im still thinking about them :D (The cuda water with light effect at sundown in 3d whilst swimming, visual heaven!!)

Ouch!

I quite like Ati, i had a 5870 and was very very pleased with it. Its a shame i had to sell it for a gtx 480. Over here in the uk the 480 is £150 more than a 5870. That is a hell of a lot. In the game im playing were framerates are most important, bad company 2, i get slightly worse framerates now. Noticeable on a 120hz screen. Overall the ati 5 series is waaaay better value. Not to mention the noise of this thing, its making me seriously consider watercooling..

So like i said, its is a shame, i already had 3d, couldnt go back, and was gutted to see the price/performance/heat/noise of Fermi. But such is life.

pojector = 90" display? 720 p = max out??? people do have their very own peculair sense of grandeur.

Just Cause 2 plays and feels great in standard 3D vision (1920x1080), but my GTX280 proves to be not powerful enough to play it smoohtly max out starting from the 3rd level.

not trying Metro 2033 with 3D vision yet since don't have a nvidia Dx11 card. guess will hold it for a bit longer since I'm not going to get a GTX480 just to play these two games.

btw, some of the most impressive 3D vision gaming I've had: Tomb Raider: Underworld, RE5, Jericho, and DA:O. the few levels from JC2 stand somewhere between RE5 and Jericho.

Why do I have the feeling this is nothing more than a praise Nvidia thread.millerlight89

What's the main advantage of gaming in 3D? Is better the perception in a multiplayer game (specifically: shooters) or is merely a waste of cash and a drop in quality? I read that particle effects (as fog, smoke) are horrible running in 3D assets in games as Crysis...

It does have it quirks!

I would never use it for a multiplayer fps i took seriously! Reason being it is harder due to your eyes having to focus at different lengths. The immersion factor and gfx are better. but your frag count will be reduced as a result taking a split second to focus, that isnt needed in 2d. Would be immense in the future if they released a 3d only game, or servers.

Concerning the compatibility with games. It does indeed have many quirks with many games. Your example about crysis is spot on. This game is actually the worse game to play in 3d. Many things rendered at wrong depths etc. Other games can be perfect, except for crosshair being stuck at wrong depth therefore making unplayable.

However when a game works well eg the two i mentioned plusbad company 2, tombraider, gta 4, batman etc... they are simply amazing. This list is getting longer. So in my eyes it is worth it for these games, plus that there is alot more games being made with it in mind. Currently people will pay alot of money for a dx11 card when there are far fewer games that utilise it than 3d. In my opinion 3d when done properly is far more immersive and better looking than even the heaven 2 benchmark with all its tessellation.

So to me it is the opposite to a waste of money, infact i compare it to the days i bought my first 3dfx card. It was the beginning of something BIG. Back then it only worked with games written for it (glide), but was such a leap (even though not all games where compatible) it never felt like i wasted my money, like many others.

"pojector = 90" display? 720 p = max out??? people do have their very own peculair sense of grandeur."

hmmmm, what is your problem? I am very aware 720p isnt very high, hence "only 720p". I meant max out as in all sliders to max except for aa. I have a feeling you knew what i meant. Ireally likethe projector, not just because of the 3d, but because it actually costs £500 compared to £1000-2000 for a half decent lcd that doesnt even do 3d at half the size. For 3d especially, size really makes a difference. I see this as a cheap option for many people to get into 3d who have the right circumstances to use it in home. Alot cheaper, and the overall result is infact better than lcd due to lcd crosstalk when viewing 3d. To me a win/win situation.

1st and foremost i have to say that alot of you guys on this site are just rude...bad attitudes and ego's and for no apparent reason.You fools make me lol...Now anyways TC i have a 61 inch led sammy that does 3d and i've played thru fallot 3 on it.I loved every moment of it.This was on my 4850 ati tho and not the nvdia 3d but i doubt the effects of stereoscopic 3d alter that much.I would love to see a pic of your setup,i always wanted a good projector but havent figured out how to justify it to my wife yet.3d>dx11

the weird thing is even thou the gtx480 is a high priced over heating piece of crap but yet its quite powerful against ati 5970 its like it wants u to have all MSAA FSAA and god knows what elsa and the gtx proves its a monster prepared to ati

you like your setup great for you. just to note that decent 120HZ monitor doesn't cost much, probably even lesser than your projector but do 3D vision in true 1080P.

big screen, 3D or 2D, simply trades off the image quality -- you get bigger size of image but half of the image quality; it depends upon which one you care more. I personally love up close n personal PC gaming experience just like it always has been.

if you do exactly try both projector and LCD monitor (not TV) 3D vision, you'd know, projector pulls you away from the displayed image, but LCD allows you to be close and so get the same 3D vision effect, but differs in image quality.

as for multiplayer and crysis. I don't MP while gaming and so I don't care. Crysis isn't that optimized for 3D vision and so the smoke/fire effect is off. and the true advantage of 3D vision cannot be contemplated, you have to experience it to get what it actually add to gaming.

is praising 3D vision just nvidia praising? well, yes only if you just have to throw in gpu brand war into anything. a while back I started a thread about both eyefinity and 3D vision; there are pros and cons for both, but currently evidently 3D vision wins in the amount of supported games.

The following is just my opinion, i can see others could be the opposite:

Yes, i have a 22inch Viewsonic monitor @ 1650x1050 probably around the same dpi as the 24inch screens. It is the first display that got me into 3d gaming. I love the sharpness of it. Something i miss from using the projector. How i wish it was 1080p :( However the loss in resolution is not as important as the screen size for me with 3d. More so than 2d gaming where i always use my monitor. I still use the monitor for all my muliplayer fps games in 2d for the 120hz. The is because as you said, you feel more disconnected with the bigger display, as i take my mp fps serious i dont want this disconnection as it makes me play alot worse, so i use the monitor. But for everything else 3d wise it has to be the bigger screen. EXCEPT, nearly forgot, i play wow on the monitor as it has to be played mouse and keyboard with the screen in your face, and this always reminds me that i wish the projector had a higher resolution. Biggest plus being in the end no ghosting at all for the dlp.

But back to the games, been playing some more Just cause 2 tonight. Still gobsmacking, cant put the game down :D
