Let us know how crysis 2 is (or killzone 3 if someone is playing it)

It's ok. Lot of ghosting but the effect is really cool. Doesn't have the same down the sights look that black ops has but it's pretty neat. Killzone 3 I really am iffy on. Kz2 wasn't that great after all the hype. Id like to see a god of war 3d remake.

I think the the 3d in Crysis 2 looks better than it does in black ops and is much better done. You can tell they spend significant time focusing on developing this game for 3d. I feel after playing black ops on my Panny for more than 30 mins it starts to bother me. I never have a problem watching hours on end of 3d movies, both directv and blurays.

With Crysis 2 the 3d effect just works. It looks great and ads Lots of depth and detail to the game. I played for 2 hours last night with out any eye strain. Definitely worth downloading the demo if you have 3d tv and an xbox.

By the way, is the graphic quality reduced quite a bit when playing in 3d versus playing the same game in 2d? Thanks.

Crysis was ok to me, it didnt really blow me away because the effects were subtle (although i didnt turn the 3d slider all the way up cuz i dont want a migrain) but its good for continous play with no eye strain. Also does anyone know if you can play the kz3 beta in 3d? I know you can play the campaign demo thats coming in 3d =, but im not sure about the beta!

Can anyone verify if Atari's Undergarden recently released on PSN is actually 3D? It advertises 3D graphics, but like an idiot I bought 3D minigolf adventures 2 a while back wrongly assuming it was 3D.

There is a demo and beta out?

The beta dropped today, and might I add the 3d is stunning (to me atleast) and the campaign demo will dropp on the 9th for playstation plus subscribers and the 16th for everyone else.

This is correct. The currently-out beta and the upcoming single-player demo both support 3D (and have Move support, if that interests you). I have the beta downloaded but won't get to try it out until later tonight.

I'm really looking forward to hearing impressions of the retail release while using the KZ3 gun peripheral with Move while in 3D. It has some pretty immense potential on paper to be amazing.

Looks like I have some downloading to do when I get home. Interested in the move support. Tried using the move controller for modern combat and hated it. Gonna see how this turns out. If anything the 3D content will be cool.

I have both systems, for the 360 I played Modern warefare Black ops, Avatar, the Crysis 2 Demo and 3D Infinity. For the PS3 I have Pacific Rift, GT5, Super Star Dust, Wipe Out and the Kill Zone 3 Demo. I was showing my friends the PS3's offerings after the superbowl game and they were impressed! But it wasn't until after I turned on my 360 to show that platforms 3d offerings we came across a little game that blew us all away... 3D INFINITY drew the most ohhs and ahhs and head jerks during gameplay of the whole lot!! It was one of my first 3d games but its just a shooter reminisant of the likes of Space Harrier so after a week or 2 you move on to 3d games that are more engaging like those on the PS3. If you ever get the chance try 3d infinity! I would love to see a R-TYPE game built around the same engine!

Where can I get 3d infinity? Is it just a regular type game I could buy at a store or is it a download?

Believe it or not 3D INFINITY is a indie game! You can only get it thru download from the market place.

I also have 3D Infinity, it's a simple but fun shooter in the vein of Space Harrier. The game uses side-by-side 3D and features nice depth and lots of stuff popping out of the screen. You can download it from the Indie games section of XBLA and try the entire first level in 3D for free; if you like it the entire game is only 400 points ($5).

I tried 3d Infinity today. Really is most effective 3d coming-at-you effect that I've seen. Reminded me a little of the missile defense 3d game I used to play on my old sega master system, but that game was played with a light gun.
I'm played through modern warfare 2 and now almost finished black ops. I keep thinking Black ops is much better but perhaps its just more immersive for me with 3d turned on.

Really enjoying 3D RIFT ... can't wait for the new full Motostorm game (Apocalypse?) to come out. (Motorstorm is my fave racing game, so it was easy to adapt to 3D - I can imagine it might be awkward if you are new to the game).

Was a bit underwhelmed by GT5, but haven't adjusted any settings yet. Also have Black Ops, but haven't tried it yet. (I'm surprised how much 3D content is available already)

Also looking forward to MLB in 3D, as well as Top Spin 4 and Virtua Tennis 4.

Just downloaded Kill Zone 3. Thought the 3D effect and resolution was very good on my panny plasma; very little if any ghosting.

I would say the resolution is close to 720P.

Downloaded the KZ3 demo last night (no longer a PS+ exclusive) and played thru it.

In terms of 3D, I thought it was a pretty good presentation with decent depth and the occasional object seeming to pop out of the screen. I did notice some very faint ghosting in a few of the in-game cinemas; dropping the in-game 3D depth setting to 85% helped out a lot in that regard while still maintaining a good sense of depth. Even with the in-game brightness maxxed out, the display was still a little too dark and I had to jack up the TV's brightness to compensate. The drop in resolution in going from 2D to 3D was not particularly bad but still noticeable to me, probably exacerbated by the fact that I have a fairly large screen.

In terms of gameplay, it felt about the same as KZ2. I've never been a big fan of this franchise and this demo did little to change that. I've never cared for the art style of the KZ games as it doesn't make sense to me that two spacefaring races have technology that looks like it came from mid-20th century Earth. The characters, dialog and overall plot are really cheesy and the control (at least with a DS3) just doesn't feel as fluid and responsive as in other FPS games. The jetpack was a nice addition (if not particularly original) and it seemed easier to take down the Helghast as I didn't have to unload an entire clip for every enemy.

3D aside, the demo felt a little generic to me as there was not one element that really stood out and made me go WOW!. I'll probably still get it but KZ has never been a particularly impressive franchise to me and this demo would seem to continue that.

But that should change in the retail version:


I'm looking forward to De Blob 2 and Killzone 3 this Tuesday. So I'll have a nice balance of dark and muted, and bright and punchy 3D.

Are COD: Black Ops, Avatar & Shaun White Skateboarding the only 3 games in 3D for XBOX 360? Or are there others?

There is an indie game on XBOX Live that you can download called 3D Infinity that will blow your mind. It shows what 3D is really all about. There is also Invincible Tiger that you can download from Live.

I've heard about 3D infinity - will give that a shot! As far as retail games go - are those the only 3 on the market? I'm getting my PN63C8000 this weekend and wanted to pick up a couple of 3D XBOX 360 titles. Little surprised that's all we have. I think PS3 has more.

For right now, I believe that is all that is available. I read somewhere that Microsoft is leaving it to the game developers to provide 3D.

I know a couple are coming up, like Crysis 2 and NFS. Alright, Thanks!

Undergarden is NOT in 3D per say that we are thinking of. However its got mulitple layers in the game that when I turned on 2D to 3D mode, played up the depth quite nicely.

Geez that xinfinty game on the 360 is nice.

Yeah it is, Hollywood could take a page from these guys in making better 3D movies.

If you're referring to Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit, you should know that it is not currently in 3D. When the game was in development, Criterion made some announcements about supporting 3D on the PS3 (no mention of the 360) but when the game shipped the feature was nowhere to be found on either console. To date Criterion has been very evasive about when or if the PS3 version would get a PS3 patch and the recent v1.2 update still didn't have 3D. If you're getting it for the 3D, I'd hold off on that game until there is an official announcement, with particular attention to what console will support 3D.

The other 360 game that supports 3D is Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, but there are a couple of gotchas. 3D support is available via the Pigsy's Perfect 10 DLC which sells for 800 points. It adds a standalone adventure featuring Pigsy and implements several 3D modes for the add-on and main game including side-by-side and top-bottom. The actual 3D effect however was pretty disappointing. While the sense of depth was visible, there was also a pretty drastic drop in resolution and the characters had an odd, shimmering appearance to them when in 3D, probably because of the drop in resolution.

Your PN63C8000 will support 2D>3D upconversion; I own the same TV and in my experience Halo: Reach, Gears of War 2 and Batman: Arkham Asylum work very well with 2D>3D. If you have those games, check them out as you may like the effect.

Played MLB The Show 11 in 3D today. It was pretty decent, but just don't turn the 3D up any more than halfway. If you turn the 3D up to full, your eyes will hate you forever.

i had the 3d all the way up and it didnt seem to bother me

i was a little disappointed that the 3d was pretty much relegated to the batter/pitcher matchup
