Remember when 3D video was AWESOME?

by admin on May 10, 2010

I sort of do, I have obscure fuzzy memories of inexpensive horror films making an attempt to push SuchandSuchgetsMaimedandMurdered 3D!!!!!! every now and again during the late eighties and early nineties.  Of course, I had no possibility of seeing them at such a tender age, and that superb 3D!  Didn’t carry over to VHS, whether or not they came packed with those delicate paper glasses-you weren’t seeing **.  Latterly Hollywood has been making efforts to bring back 3D in the theater, I guess they have realized that IMAX isn’t that superb as they try and market it.  Unless you like vertigo, everybody has their peculiarities.  I’m going to admit the one thing I saw in theaters with the legendary 3D aspect was  ‘The Nightmare Before Xmas a few years gone, and the sole remotely three-dimensional part was the pumpkin at the beginning making an attempt to psych you up for the excellent 3D!  That was going to slam into your eye sockets.  Needless to say I didn’t expect much after that. 

Now, there’s a steady push in the market for 3D in *television*, particularly in the field of gaming.  I thought it was impossible, that kind of stuff could certainly only be available in, THE FUTURE.  But you can now, in fact drop anywhere from eight hundred-to a thousand on a decent tower capable for 3D computer gameplay.  In a couple of months, the leading company in the field Nvidia will be releasing a 3.5 foot tower with a clear Plexiglas side to show off it’s super power 3D water cooling inside.  Obviously, your going to new hardware if you want to play with leading edge technology.  Which is to be expected, naturally, 3D gaming needs double the framerate the 2D gaming does.  You can technically have it on an older system, but unless you like watching everybody on your screen doing the robot, then it time to start saving.  Or not, like everybody who isn’t an elitist, hardcore pc gamer. 

As for the majority of game players out there who like their consoles, don’t fret.  The slowly reviving PS3 will be seeing a 3D upgrade this summer, and the Xbox 360 is sure to follow.  Even still, you will need a new 3D HDTV that supports HDMI 1.4 to even support that.  Since I really like to assume that many people are like me and do not also have a HDTV ( Ok, I haven’t got a television at all ), we will not have to fret about spending scratch on a new TV simply to keep up with the locals.  Especially since we’ll be pretty much needed to buy a completely new group of games to play, since we can’t be able to play ANY of the games now out there on these new 3D systems, they just do not have the framerate required.  Now, this doesn’t take away from the amazing things I’ve heard about 3D gaming, in fact it could be the future of gaming.  I further said the same about the Wii, but this time I believe I’m right.  I know Microsofts next-gen console will have 3D technology built in, and if that doesn’t change the way we game I don’t know what will. 

As per usual, it will take a bit for 3D anything to become cheap.  And it won’t really become wide-ranging until console’s are pushing it, it will be a few years before we see that.  Not to worry though, remember when DVD players were going for a grand a pop?  I do, and it’s a decade later and you can find a decent one on the sidewalk during Bulk rubbish Night.  If your desperate for some 3D like it 1985 [however ,] imaginary just commented that it’s imaginary Engine will shortly be ready to go 3D with an easy switch flip.  A decent gaming rig with a young graphics card connected up to a 120Hz monitor can handle a large amount of games in 3D at the moment, but Nvidia’s 3DTC Play just commented that soon you’ll be able to catch up a gaming P.C to a 3D HDTV.  In all honesty though, if you are actually going to spend the cash on a first gen 3D HDTV, you can’t overlook a P.C that will 3D GAME.  I do not care how much you loved Nightmare before Yuletide, seeing it in 3D in you living room will never match up to the Awesome that’s playing a game like Bioshock in all it’s 3D glory.
