With different avenues to play games coming to our living rooms at a quicker pace than ever before it helps to be on the cutting edge of videogame technology. SCE showed off its 3D gaming capabilities at CES in Vegas earlier this year and now a new alliance has been formed to bring 3d to the masses.
The Sterioscopic 3D Gaming Alliance, or S-3D Gaming Alliance, has been formed to set standards for 3D gaming in the industry. This way consumers without natural 3D TV's can still game in 3D since they are making a pair of glasses that will look and feel more natural to the player. I welcome a group like this because let's face it, 3D HDTV's aren't coming down in price quick and unless they are adopted by the mainstream they won't. For all game consoles this will blend perfectly with motion controlled gaming, adding in that extra step of realism.
Here's what the Gaming Alliance had to say about what others are doing:
“As a technology demo, Electronic Arts Inc. worked with Dynamic Digital Depth (DDD) to give a flawless glimpse of what their upcoming award-winning title, Need For Speed SHIFT, will look like when played with stereoscopic 3D drivers. Other technology demos included Crytek’s CryEngine3 running in S-3D with native support, and a showing of Blitz Games Studios’ Invincible Tiger: The Legend of Han Tao, arguably the first console game to support modern stereoscopic 3D technologies. To add to the fun, all demos were presented on a huge RealD projection screen as part of SIGGRAPH’s Computer and Animation Festival.”
More and more companies will be implementing 3D in the coming months and years. James Cameron's Avatar game was confirmed to be in 3D at E3 in June of this year. Anticipation for this kind of tech in our gaming will reach a fevered pitch in no time and I can't wait to see what else they do with games in the next couple of years.
