Sony: More Than 50 PS3 Games To Boast 3D
See Full ImageDo you have your 3D-enabled HDTV yet? If not, you should know a whole lot of PlayStation 3 games will have that feature in the near future...
Sony Computer Entertainment Europe studio director Mick Hocking told Develop that interactive gaming in 3D isn't merely a passing fad; indeed, developers are readying a slew of compatible titles. "We're applying 3D to more than 20 internal games at Sony," said Hocking. "Overall we have more than 50 titles currently being coverted into 3D, and this number is growing fast." Some super high-profile games will have the benefit of this advanced technology, including next year's Killzone 3, along with other titles like that ICO Collection.
Gran Turismo 5, which launches today, is another one that boasts 3D so if you've got the means, you'll definitely want to see what such games look like when displayed in that extra dimension. Hocking added:
"We're actively talking to developers and publishers, and we're also offering training to them to help them get up to speed with 3D. 3D isn't just about adding depth to a picture--developers need to know how to get the very best out of the technology on PS3 and we'll ensure that they do."
There has been talk about how 3D has a negative impact on resolution and game performance (i.e., frame rate), but perhaps that's something certain developers will deal with better than others. The technology is definitely in its infancy so we'll have to see what happens down the road.

They can easily pull the same off with 3D, they just need to realise they need to do all that.

But hey, Sony is in the position for gaming goodness. Imaging, 3D gaming with Move (of course, w/o the glasses. I know there are 3D TVs that have the special filter in the screens themselves in lieu of the glasses)

1. In its current state, 3D tech is not for everyone.
2. You've got some rich friends

For 3D I do not have one yet. I am going out on black friday in search for a nice HDTV(40+ inch). The best TV I have is 27" and I don't even think it has 620i. I want a 3D TV but can't afford it. Maybe in a couple of years when the tech improves and the price drops... a lot.
The wait is over... for everyone else. 2 more days!

One thing I have to agree with Adam Sessler from x-play is that now in days, all the graphics in video games are beautiful/stunning.
I feel that the gaming industry should focus more on game play. This is why nintendo is winning this gens console wars. This is just my most honest opinion of course.

consoles just are not equipped for 3D, tis why allot of 3D games are only 30FPS instead of 60 and allot of 3D games are 720P.
PC yea its fantastic, playing mafia 2 with DX11, physX, 1080P 60FPS in 3D looks freaking amazing!!!!!!
3D taxes the hardware too much, i mean i got 2 of the industries most powerful video cards and there struggling to keep a solid frame rate.
so how the hell is a single card based on a 7 series card suppose to keep up?
sony should of left 3D for the ps4, that way the console is more than powerful enough to do 3D justice.
ATM it cant, its short changing 3D.
if anything its hurting it because people see it and think this is the best you can get, when its not, far from it!

Personally I think the technology has tremendous potential to increase the immersion of the experience, but the barriers to entry are to high at the moment. But those costs are already coming down...

Since Sony is a huge player in the 3D market, I hope they do come up with some means of making the technology more affordable.
