Whats to hate about 3D?

I don't hate it. I've always disliked 3D because of the glasses, I already wear glasses making the 3D glasses very uncomfortable. I think the 3DS is fantastic though.fabz_95

This. See no one hates 3d but people want value for their money and they dont want to wear glasses and gobuy new Tvs for it. The 3ds ate Sonys lunch with this one bigtime.

1.red and blue, polarized, shutter, no glasses needed tvs I saw at a trade show last year the first prototype generation's....ALL gave me headaches and made me physically ill.

2.what I have seen didn't impress me, Let alone that movie makers seem to do all these in your face useless scenes of characters doing things in a certain way so as to put them selves in a jump or turn or such so its comming towards the camera doesn't impressed me.
All Pseudo 3d really does is make certain parts of the scene seem like they are foreground and background...then you have the fact stuff in the background must be blurry for being the fact its in the background...which totally ruins the fact I have a 1080p tv... I got a high resolution tv cause every thing would be brought into greater detail even stuff far away Pseudo 3d negates this except for foreground imagry.

Nothing I have seen really has shown it will be any different for video games.

iam missing about 30 percent of my vision in my left eye. not enough to hamper my regular everyday vision (i can see alright, for games and driving and such)....so needless to say 3d doesnt work. my eyes and brain arent able to mix the images in my head correctly given the fact that i have a partial blind area. thus making 3d obsolete for me. watching 3d is actually quite weird when your brain only displays half of an image in one eye.

so if 3d becomes the way of the future ill be stuck gaming on old consoles and old tvs.

Poor? this is really funny you think that everyone that does not feel like shelling out $200+ to play a 2d videogame must be poor? Wow thats interesting.

hmm, one more thing, why do people complain about the glasses?Lable1985

all i can tell you is to read the reviews before putting up the money for a 3d tv. i love the sony bravias but they are getting trounced in the reviews and are currently the ones to stay away from (when it comes to 3d)on all the hdtv review websites.

cuz it's pricy for its value, and ppl cant afford it.

The average person just is not ready to pay $2000 to play killzone in 3d.

Its come to my attention that alot of hardcore gamers seem to hate the idea of 3D gaming, and revile it as a joke, and as a gimmick. What I wanna know is whats to hate about it, and whats to love, or even expect of it? I as an open minded individual can always see the potential in just about everything(excluding handheld 3d of course, but thats an entire subject entirely) and I see alot of cool, and expressional way to immerse we as gamers deeper into the games built around the technology.

What's to love? 3D screens makes it much easier to navigate in a 3D environment as you can judge depth and height much easier than on a 2D screen. Anyone that has played a 3D platform game knows that it can be difficult to jump just right or see exactly where in 3D space an object is relative to your game character. Also the games utilizing the 3D effects will give literally add another dimension to the game experience.

3D screens are compared to regular screens or tv (including HD) what analog control was compared to digital control.

lol @ your future buying plan, an year from now, ha, you are the 1st person i know who plan to buy a TV next year, ppl usually dont plan to buy a new TV For "next year", if they want a TV, they will get it "now". since you sounds like you are so rich, why dont you get a 3D TV and a super high speed HDMI cable now?

I'd try 3d if it didn't have glasses.

as in justifying a purchase or something.....but I'd still dislike it if glassesless 3d wasn't affordable.

the angle and thickness of the lens/screen.

you might be a little more limited in how you have to sit in front of the TV, but that could be adjusted or improved upon.

it halves the graphics of a game.

The only thing I hate about 3D is the price.

The "Jump out of the screen tons" is a gimmick... But when it feels like you're in that world I beileve it's a new form of technology and a awesome one at that.Ringx55

I hate the movie and television industry's idea of a forced mandate on expensive 3DHDTVs and a peripheral (glasses) to experience it.... which I already have a pair of glasses and I don't need another set just to be immersed. Works like a charm though.

I applaud Nintendo's 3D attempt as an optional feature. Because it gets rid of the glasses issue and it works like a charm.

I think 3DTV from the sounds of it is great.

I havn't tried it out myself but lot of articles mention the experience is pretty impressive.

Will have to save up for a later generation 3DTV set.

I'm a technophile- but sometimes I have problems catching up with a lot of new devices and technology these days but in a good way.

I just recently got my Ipad

will upgrade to an iPhone 04

get the Xbox360 slim

Kinect

Move

(paying off a 8 core Mac Pro)

want to get a Emperror computer chair

a Ninendo 3DS

gained interest in Microsoft's research and development in 3D.

learning VMWare

waiting for flying Cars and holograms to make their debut.........

The 3D effect is wasteful and silly. And it's not nice on the eyes.

Its a matter of hating things you can't have. 3DTVs are way too expensive and the companies are trying to shove it in our faces. :P

I think that 3D really doesn't enhances the gaming experience in the same way as going from stereo audio to 5.1 surround or better. In fact I think that in some games -online shooters, specifically- the perception is worse and reduces your chances to detect potential foes.

3D gaming has other disadvantages, also: is expensive, and in monitor displays the 120 Hz technology can only be achieved in LCDs with TN panels, which are a lot worse in image quality than the ones with SIPS and MVA panels (TN only uses 6 bit per color channel as opposite to the 8 or 10 bit in SIPS, the contrast and view angles are much worse, etc.).

This is why I'm not excited about 3D gaming.

For some reason a lot of the gaming press loathes the concept of 3D. I listen to a lot of podcasts and visit many sites and there seems to be a large number of people under the impression that 3D must ruin games. It can never be good and it will never be good. If you add 3D to a game, it is a bad game by default.

I never understood that line of thinking. If you could overlook a vista in Uncharted 2 and there was actual depth to the image, how would that ruin the experience?

3d gaming will fail (not referring to the 3ds). it may be cool for the first half hour or so but nobody is going to wear 3d glasses for a 6 hour gaming session.

I can only speak for myself here, but it makes me nauseated. When I went to see Alice in Wonderland with my wife and her little sister, there were certain points where I had close my eyes to get a grip. I don't care about it one way or another when it comes to gaming, but if it becomes industry standard or mandatory for games, I will probably be done gaming. Not because I necessarily hate it, but just because I physically can't handle it.

other than the cool effect, what does 3d bring to gaming that will fundamentally change the way we play? It seems like nothing more than a visual enhancement. HDTV's were a huge step in quality improvement, The jump from SD to HD was a big one. Of course it is not necissary to enjoy games in HD, but graphics do play a big role in immersing players and helping to visually tell a story that SD tv could not do from lack of quality images. Now the jimp from HD to 3D is not as big as SD to HD. In fact current 3D games look wrose than regular HD games. a good percentage of population cant see 3D effect, or many get headaches from it.

Sure 3D may be a nice option, but b/c it doesnt alter game mechanics it really is just a gimmick. Its disturbing to see 3D being the main focus point of a game instead of the gameplay mechanics it offers.

[QUOTE="vashkey"]As much as hardcore gamers like to pretend they embrace new things and change, constantly complaining about a supposed lack of new IPs, they actually hate change. They whine about 3d. They whine about the new motion based peripherals even though they do not have to buy them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with 3d so long as it remains and option and not a requirement for the bulk of releases. Gamers just like to complain about everything.Vinegar_Strokes

bloody hell mate I think you mean over £2000 for a 3D tv but my problem is the Samsungs dont come with any glasses and cost £70 for a pair or the Panny's come with glasses but only two and there are 5 of us in my house, not to mention all the exclusive 3D blu-rays that come with each brands players and not available anywhere in stores.

although we do have a dedicated HD3D TV channel in the UK there doesnt seem much content available, so I think Ill wait for a bit and see how all this tech pans out.
