Nintendo is 100% right...3D gaming with glasses is LAME!

Ok, for the record, I bashed Wii a LOT. That being said, I watched every conference, and Nintendo restored my faith in their brands, and I CAN'T wait for 3DS!!! That being said, their statement about glasses being a limitation of 3D gaming is a true statement imo.

I was lucky to test out 3D at a Sony exhibit back in April. To say the least, it was underwhelming, and the glasses didn't do much either. I got to try out some Killzone 2 stuff as well as watch a few National Geographics shows.

Anyone agree with Nintendo that 3D gaming with glasses is ridiculous. Heck, even GI's review of batman Arkham Asylum said they almost prefered the regular version.

It's true. I think Sony are way off base thinking any significant number of people are going to buy 3D TVs and sit at home wearing special glasses.Ninja-Hippo

I think the biggest problem is the glasses cost so much as well... I am not paying $150+ dollars for a single pair of those hideous looking glasses.

3D movies cost 30$ a ticket. 3D TV's cost thousands. So, yeah, it's a stretch.

I don't really know, I'm not usually paying for them. I honestly just made up a number. :P

I do know for a fact that 3D TV's are currently running for thousands of dollars.

The only problem I forsee with the 3DS (this is only rumor on my end, though), is that the "3D" aspect of the 3DS will only allow for depth. There really isn't anything "popping" out of the screen, hence the need for 3D glasses. Once again though, only rumor on my end.

3D glasses are teh best thing after jesus and ice cream

one pair of 3d glasses costs more then 3ds 360 and wii

Me too.

Too bad it'll be a couple of years more 'til we get a decent and affordable 3D tv.

[QUOTE="HarlockJC"]When I can afford it. I am looking forward to 3D gaming myself. mrmusicman247

I work at a movie theatre and for some reason a lot of people dont like watching movies in 3D. That being said i think 3D will take a while before its popular in homes

You have been ripped off.

My problem with 3D gaming on the TV, or 3D on the TV period, without glasses is that you have to keep your head level. When I'm laying on the couch my head is definately not level. I don't know how well 3D without glasses would work on a TV for me because I'm often looking at the TV with my head resting against the arm of the couch.

That said, I don't care for 3D with glasses, either. I'm waiting for the holodeck!

This is false but it seems to be spreading.

"We had a look at several demonstrations, including a selection of Nintendo characters (think Smash Bros. trophies) in different settings. The Pikmin blended into the grass, Yoshi's nose seemingly protruded from the screen and black particles surrounded Link, almost appearing to float in front of the top screen."

From Joystiq's hands-on. Other previews say much the same thing.

i was at a sumsung tv store. and they had a 1080p tv next to a 3d tv. the hdtv looked great but i got the classes on to view the 3d tv it was great but everything became DARK. hd still looks better.

anyways they will probably be releasing 3d tv without glasses soon.

I'm betting it'll be only to a certain extend. Find it hard to believe those effects will make me drop the 3DS as a result of a nice pop out. :P

$12-$15 to go see a 3D movie in the theatre is not a big deal. Dropping 3 grand on a 3D TV, wearing PROPRIETARY 3D glasses with a battery right next to your brain, having radio waves shot directly at your head, having to drop an extra $200 EACH for glasses for other people who want to watch or join in, and the reported headaches after 20 minutes? Those are kind of a big deal...

3D at home has NOT been thought through very well.

And a 3.5 inch screen with faux 3D isn't "lame"? Does anyone remember the price of an HDTV in 2003? I think a 40" display that couldn't produce 2.1 million pixels on screen was around 8,000 dollars. I wonder what they cost in 1998. In 3 years the price will go down, and a lot of people will start to buy digital 3D technology for their private use. stiggy321

See my last post, particularly the part about proprietary glasses and headaches...

Anyone agree with Nintendo that 3D gaming with glasses is ridiculous. Heck, even GI's review of batman Arkham Asylum said they almost prefered the regular version.

And you don't think they'll come up with better tech as the years go by? 3D TVs may still require proprietary glasses, but they could make it so it isn't headache inducing as you claim. The only real problem with Sony adding 3D to games is that it's too early for most people. It's still a free feature, so who cares?

The glasses allow you to see the 3D. So if you want 3D you will have to wear glasses. Like Sunglasses allow you to see better in sunny conditions. ...Is the real concern of glasses is they don't look cool? pfft okay

I never get headaches from 3D. I believe it only happens to certain people with motion sickness issues.

And furthermore, theres nothing wrong with proprietary glasses. If I buy a Sony 3DTV, I will buy Sony glasses. Problem solved.

I'll wait until Sharp releases a glasses free 3DTV and until the price drops under $1000, in which it may take years from now.

The technology will get better over time, which is why I mention for years from now on. The 3DS is only the start to what we will expect from the future of gaming and watching movies. I'm sure Sharp is trying to find ways to view glasses free 3DTV in different angles.

microsoft (you read that right) has developed a 3dtv that works for 2 people, as it calculates were you are positioned and adjust the image. so it's only a matter of time until we see this getting better, and eventually 8+ will be able to watch it. it depends which gets better quicker.
