I really don't think the displays are ready yet, and gave devs are even further behind. It's taken years for cinematographers get this right and the fantastic, subtle, and non-migraine-inducing films number in the single digits.
You've got to love a technology where you get the convergence an inch off and your entire audience throws up.
I really hope companies don't push things to the point where you *have* to get 3D to play anything in terms of games or movies.
IMHO, 3D is not the new HD, at least not this time around. Maybe in another 20 years they'll have something worthwhile, when we can just plug HDMI cables into our foreheads.
I tried those games. They're FANTASTIC. 3D is wonderful, i've almost cried when i touched the joypads. Really, it's an experience that i wish to everyone, it MUST be played. I spend about 2 hours going around those HDTV drooling. Super Stardust HD (something like that) is exceptional and it's the less impressive, according to me. Now i see if i can afford a 3D TV in these days and then i buy a PS3... unless Micosoft decides to release a firmware update and shows me at least 1/20 of what i saw there.
What does this have to do with the 3D TV's? These headaches have nothing to do with 3D screens not being "ready". Certain people just can't handle 3D. The brain sees the images but can't rectify what the eyes see with the body's other senses which causes the dizziness and headaches associated with 3D content. Until 3D tv's can move your body around to match the images you see on the screen, some people are unfortunately going to get headaches, just like some people now can't do FPS's without having the same thing happen.
3D will get better but these headaches won't for some people, but the issue isn't as much to do with 3D sets as it is with the brains of people using them. If you want to enjoy the tech, it's just something you have to train your brain to deal with.
Wow I tried the 3d games and thought they were awesome, I didn't get a hint of a headache -- In fact after I tried them I went ahead and ordered the Samsung 3d bundle deal on Amazon (55" TV/ 3d Bluray player, 2 glasses and a movie) I can't wait till it gets here next week! The reporter said it OMG awesome minus the headache he got -- if you don't get the headache its just OMG
Also I saw Dr said you shouldn't get headaches and if you do you may need to get your eyes examined or prescription checked because that may cause the problem if your eyes our out of wack with each other.
KyleK, I never bashed on Sony's TVs. Quite the contrary, I admitted to them being very sharp and beautiful. The HDTVs are fine, and I'm glad Sony is finally in the 3D mix. With their sets competing against Panasonic and Samsungs, prices and tech will become competitive.
The 3D effect was certainly nice, but wholly unnecessary in a gaming environment. At this point in time, it simply does not match up to the effectiveness of the cinema.
I think for 3D gaming they should mostly focus on depth into the tv instead of things flying out at you. I feel that making it look like you are looking into a window would work better than making things fly at you.
