So this year, everyone is showing off their 3d tvs.
I have seen a demo video on a Sony 3d tv and was very impressed but had nothing to compare it to until last night.
Firstly for all that don't know of 3d tvs - its basically the same as watching a new 3d movie such as avatar at the cinemas but at home. yes you still have to wear those dorky glasses :(
After checking out Panasonic's 50 inch 3d tv (also a 54" and 65" will be available I think end of May Sometime - the 50" did not have a confirmed price yet but the retail should be roughly $5,000) while plying Avatar the game in 3d I realized just how much I am looking forward to getting my hands on one of these puppies. The game itself i found boring but the 3d side of it was amazing.
This game was in full HD and had no ghosting effect as you see in old 3d movie technology. this game (just like the movie) wasn't created to have lots of imaging popping out of the screen at you but A lot of depth was added. The character that you play as was how ever appeared to be standing outside of the screen and seemed to come further out as you moved the camera around him)
What I am looking forward to is games that have 3d in mind when they are being created! I can imagine the next FPS games having people jumping as they playing their games due to bullets and shrapnel etc flying past ur character and jumping right out of the screen.. Or in any game just having things jumping at you from nowhere will be alot of fun!
In saying that, people will get over these things pretty quickly and that wont be as impressive as when you first saw a 3d tv. But after watching 3d movies / playing 3d games I find that 2d is just boring.
Just some more info on these for people that dont know much - 3d tvs do not make everyday tv look 3d and yes - you can watch normal 2d content on them.
The glassed that you wear are battery powered and wirelessly sync up with the tv.
3D content will only be released on Blu ray and you will need a updated ps3 or a 3d Blu Ray player ( sorry 360...)
I for one, am looking forward it!

I, for one, am not!
As one of the many people that suffer from ridiculous headaches from using 3D I shall never buy into the technology.
Not only that but I hate paying for over hyped bollocks...3D was pushed out by major movie and game companies to bring something "new" to gaming when the fools should be focusing on core game play and make sure their games are written right.
That goes for Hollywood movies too...they all suck atm.

i feel 3D movies're over rated.
i admit, when i watched some when i was like 8 they were amazing but now its just annoying, and most of the time i'd rather just prefer to watch the non-3d version of movies that offer it.

Did you see the movie demos last night as well? The fish swimming in the coral reef was amazing. I have been avoiding 3d movies for the same reason as Takuyafire, but on the Plasma sets with their special glasses, it was actually pretty amazing. Keep in mind the glasses they give you at the cinima are only worth a dollar or two but the ones you use with the TV's are worth a couple of hundy...
Yeah the fish were good - i missed out on what ever the other tv had on it tho.
Judging by some of the comments that Pana made (and others ive heard around) that the Panasonic Plasma's are they way to go with 3d.
takuyafire: yeah i agree with expensive headaches... if your unlucky enough to have that problem anyway.

I would only want to watch sports in 3D but then I wouldn't be able to have a few cold ones apparently.
Good luck to those knobs that want to wear glasses watching TV.
HDTV good enough for me

Be interesting to see if it gets past the gimmick stage, this could do good things for certain games.
There's issues with 3D tech for sure. I guess wearing glasses to watch 3D is a deal breaker for many. But we live in a 3D world and as soon as the tech is good enough everything we look at from film to TV to games will be displayed in 3D. I am pretty sure it's inevitable but maybe the technology isn't there yet? Maybe there'll be another bash at it down the track when tech takes the next great leap forward?!?
(also want to point out that Philips have had a tv tech for years now where u can watch tv without glasses .. i have seen it and it was amazing... except you had to sit/stand in one of 7 set places for it to look right... and if u wernt in those spots then it just ddnt look right.. and even in the right spots it wasnt as Hd as these new ones and still had ghosting. Heres hoping some1 will perfect this tech for the next gen of 3d tvs :)
I think 3D is something people may (or might) get used to. I was surprised that I did not sick or have a major headache while I was watching Avatar in 3D. And I get nauseous over anything.
3D is indeed the future although I for one won't be willing to buy a new TV. Too expensive at this stage.

Yeah, my eyes aren't too good with the whole 3D thing. Also with a possibly $5000 retail price for a 3D TV I can't exactly say the concept interests me that much at the moment. Maybe one day when I get a real job. :)
Not a bad blog bud. Maybe a couple of pics next time?

3D sucks. Just the whole idea of bringing it back makes me think that as soon as Sony, Toshiba, Samsung etc got as far as they could with advancing their TVs by making them as thin as a game case then they needed another gimmick. So with that a 20 year old technology was brought back from the grave and stuffed down the consumers throat as if we have no choice or what but to go 3D.
I don't care one bit for it...

Due to the way the tvs work... all the photo's are going to be of is a tv with a fuzzy image on it.
(this is not old tech - its new tech on an old idea) - these tvs send two images (1 for each eye) at a really fast frame rate and basicly the glasses sync up to the tv and block each eye so it only sees its intended image - thus tricking u into seeing a 3d image.)
You dont notice anything like this happning as its happends too fast for the human eye to catch

Just searched for proper tech terms and thats what Pana have to say themselves. Its pretty much what I just said.
There will be cheaper models out then the Pana 50" im sure - but to be honest - this will be the tv to go for due the better quality of it (you can look at this tv on any angle - including tilting ur head to the side etc
I really am looking forward to a game that has been created with 3d in mind. will be awesome

Will be avoiding it as well until the technology advances some. Avatar is the only thing i've seen in 3d but every half hour or so I had to take off the glasses to stop feeling nausea. Not gonna put up with that gaming, if it advances though it could be something worthwhile in the next few years.
The tech in the tvs will be basically beta... and expensive. Will definitely wait for it to advance, become more mainstream, and cheaper...
Yeah, I can't see 3D catching on anytime soon... A few hundred dollars for the glasses??? If you have alot of friends or family over, you won't have enough glasses to go around...
I'm also against it because I'm unable to see it...ha
I'll stick with my LCD.
Can't afford a new 3D tv, and don't really want one.
I don't see the point tbh, LCD,LED,Plasma... They're good enough as is, without this 3D stuff.
And wearing 3D glasses over my prescription glasses, i can see being a royal nuisance.

Interesting report mate. To me, it's still just a gimmick though. Really, it's "pseudo" 3D isn't it? Coz the game itself can't really make any decent use of what little 3D effect there is. It's not like the TV has gained a genuine z-axis.
Also, slapping the 3D effect on a movie doesn't suddenly make it good - it can add a small layer of novelty or interest, but that's it. A crap movie in 2D will still be a crap movie in 3D, and this will apply to games in exactly the same way.
A main concern is that devs would start focusing on this aspect, putting more important aspects of the game (i.e. everything else) on the backburner.

3D is a natural progression in TV, hardly a gimmick. Adding depth to a 2d screen, i'm not sure why anyone would be against that.
3DTV's being expensive is a misconception, they will be around the same price as HDTV's on the market now.

"3D is a natural progression in TV, hardly a gimmick. Adding depth to a 2d screen, i'm not sure why anyone would be against that."
I don't hate 3d, I wouldn't go and torch a store for selling 3d tvs. I go and see 3d movies.
By gimmicky, I mean it's just not very convincing - yet. The depth is a bit "pseudo", and we all know "pseudo" is a nice word for "fake". You never actually have to turn around and look behind you to see the film (which would be stupid anyway).
When developers create games with 3 dimensions of movement, it's a psycho-visual effect thing isn't it? You know, coz it's all happening on a 2d panel? Yeah, "3d" tvs don't really provide much of a difference over that, because they still essentially rely on a single 2-dimensional panel. I think the multiple-monitor setup supported by some games, like Forza Motorsport 3, is more 3d than the so-called 3d movies and tvs.

Like it (I love it ) or not 3D is not a gimmick it is the OBVIOUS evolution of moving picture technology. To ask if it is here to stay is the same as someone in the 70's asking "is this colour TV gimmick gonna last" DAH. Thanks for the blog brettz0r I for one will be picking up one of these rinky dink 3D TV's soon as pos and it's good to hear a positive impression of 3d Gmaing. Nice xmas pressie for myself I reckon.

What if you only have one working eye or one of your eyes isn't as fast as the other, the 3D would simply be useless.
What if you have a family TV event, you have to buy a pair of glasses for every single family member, tricky for those with large families.
What if you require glasses to focus on anything over 1m away? You have to wear two pairs of glasses or worse yet, get some custom made optometrist?
Yeah...put some more thought into things before you actually say them. 3D is a widely known as a gimmick and will stay that way...my bet is that it will die out within 5 years.

@takuyafire: Some of your points are a tad overblown. You're going to extremes. Why are you so against it? It's not hurting you in any way, a 3DTV does everything an HDTV does, it's not like you can't watch 2D content, and you don't have to buy one.if you OBVIOUSly think its the natural progression then you OBVIOUSly are just stupid.

"What if you only have one working eye or one of your eyes isn't as fast as the other, the 3D would simply be useless."
What if, what if, what if.
What if you were blind, a TV would be useless, yada yada.
"What if you have a family TV event, you have to buy a pair of glasses for every single family member, tricky for those with large families."
If you can afford the TV, you can afford the glasses. Most TV's will come bundled with some, and places will do deals for you, so you won't have to fork out for much more. And there is nothing stopping you from watching it in 2D. If they have a 3DTV, they can bring their own glasses.
"What if you require glasses to focus on anything over 1m away? You have to wear two pairs of glasses or worse yet, get some custom made optometrist?"
Contacts? Just wear your glasses under them? My mates with glasses didn't have a problem at all. If you wear glasses and don't use contacts, look for some 3D glasses that are comfortable to wear over your regular glasses, simple. The $1 glasses in the theater aren't going to be the only size/shape, companies will make variations to fit over regular glasses.
"Yeah...put some more thought into things before you actually say them. 3D is a widely known as a gimmick and will stay that way...my bet is that it will die out within 5 years."
You should've taken your own advice here. 3D isn't widely known as a gimmick. It's as much of a gimmick as HD was really.
Actually, shouldn't have said that last sentence as it's yet to be proven. I should've said 'i think it'll end up being as much of a gimmick as HD was'.

Also as far as "not hurting you" read the first comment by me.
3D is a gimmick no matter how you look at it...sure it might add depth but 9 times out of 10 it doesn't really improve anything. Case-in-point: Go watch How to train your dragon in both 3D and 2D at the cinema's atm (no srsly...its a cool movie) and honestly...I paid extra money to see 3D and it did nothing but force depth of field on me...something I don't like seeing as I am a normal human I much prefer to control that myself.
So instead of an "in depth" experience, I was forced to pay extra to see some blurry lines scream past me.

What I hate however is gimmicky crap pushed out by major game devs and movie companies to convince the general populace that something is good.
To relate to games I can point to MW2, whose campaign was downright rubbish...anyone that says otherwise never played MW1. That much is obvious...so when people start running about claiming 3D is "the future" and a "natural progression" I get extremely frustrated at how blind those comments are. Especially seeing as its a remake of 20 year old technology done better.

I guarantee to you that 3D is here to stay. Like all technology it will improve and change. I really don't see how the fact that it is improved technology has any bearing on the arguement. My Nissan is improved technology from over 50 years ago, is that a gimmick too. A lot of people are really enjoying this so improvement in 3d. Did you ever see those 2d movies 20 years ago. I did and they were 3d was crap, however Avator and the such were truely awesome and similar technology in out lounges at home rocks. Now if it's not fear of change, is it fear of price tag? Wat...no...way off, I love change.

I'm at a loss as to how anyone can object to this????????? If you don't like it don't buy it. Sit there with your 14' CRT and let the rest of us enjoy the ride :)
Above should read '3d movies 20 years ago' not 2d !!
Let me point out here that I am an IT student and I love technology...I also understand it to a certain degree. Of course this means I love change and I will go hungry for a week just to try out a new keyboard.
However I will not waste my money on crap...again looking at things like MW2...its a pure waste of money for those of us into competitive gaming...just like 3D is a waste of money for anyone that likes to sit back and enjoy their screen without putting on and taking off some ridiculous goggles that will eventually give you headaches.

Oh yeah and whilst I'm still on the subject of how damn cool 3d is, the Aussies are getting the Sate of Origin broadcast in 3d. Now how f##cking cool is 3d sport gonna be!!!!

These companies aren't forcing anything down anyone's throat, certainly not mine. I've seen 3D working, and i'd like that experience at home, with the movies i buy and especially the videogames.
Here's me relating it to games: If 3D didn't matter or add anything at all, we'd be playing Uncharted 2 on a 2D plane. Games started out in 2D, then shifted to 3D (perspective), yet we're still viewing them in 2D. In real life there is depth, in 3D (perspective)games there is depth, we can't see it properly, now we can. That is adding to the experience, it definitely isn't necessary (like most things), you can view content perfectly fine as it is, but 3D adds a lot for me personally.
It sounds more like your fighting is against commercialism.

There really is no point in me arguing further and so I wont.Oops, ignore the first paragraph, i quoted the wrong message.
However to point out we didn't go from seeing things on a 3D plane into suddenly seeing 3D...3D itself (as I said earlier) forces depth with various layers...it doesn't project true 3D or even anything close, it simply attempted to enhance the 3D planes we currently employ.

That is as obvious as looking at someone on TV knowing it's not a real person you're looking at, but a TV.There really is no point in me arguing further and so I wont.

I know how the 3D effect works, what it is/isn't, and it's as good as we'll get for a long time. I'm happy with the effect it's mimicking, and i want it.
The current format of 3d tvs makes the tvs themselves nothing special (all they have to do is add 200 htz to them and add in the wireless glasses)
Now have a 3d Samsung 55inch led/lcd tv at my work (i bet alot of places now have em too)and and im planning on taking in my ps3 tomorrow to check it out (havnt got any 3d blu ray players in yet lol) wich should be good.
samsung have a chip in their tvs which turns everyday 2d content into 3d - this is pretty average on the transformers movie i tried it out on but im gona try it out on a bunch of games tomorrow. should be good.
ps - why so many downers saying that its gona be a flop? lol - look at 3d sales (and 3d sales projections) in the states and say its a flop - i dare you.
Obviously some people are not going to be able to use it but the majourity of people can.
No, current movies in 3d do not make the movie and better but non of these have been filmed in 3d. non of them (that ive seen) most are animated...
Im more looking forward to games with a proper 3d engine mroe so then movies.

ps- there is 3d technology out there (and has been for several years now) which doesn't require glasses (look up philips 3d tv) but for this to work you HAVE to stand / sit in one of 7 set positions or everything comes out blurry and ghosted and even when in the set positions - the image is not in full hd and still has ghosting.
it works and I was super impressed when i saw it! This technology needs to be advanced so its not super expensive and that you can sit / stand anywhere and enjoy the content in full hd 3d.

oh and umm... i just read a couple of my comments... my "e" button my my keyboard is a bit skrewed so ... non = none :)
Just trying to make more gimic money than create something good
I havnt heard about 360 doing it but from what i hear - 3d movies have to be played on a 3d capable blu ray player - I just figured that games would be the same. could be wrong though
So what games have been announced so far, that they're going to be in 3D? I'm willing to give the 3D thing ago, I think it could be fun. As long as there is a decent amount of games coming out that support 3D. Obviously Gran Turismo 5 and Killzone 3 so far, but anything else as of yet?
