OK, can we just look into the history books for a second? Wasn't this 3D thing a fad back in the 80's or 90's that fell on its face, crushing the plastic wrap and cardboard glasses you had to have? I know technology has improved since then, but I wear glasses anyway. So why the heck would I want to wear some ill fiting 3D glasses along with my perscriptions just to shoot something in a game in my own home?
Am I just naive? Am I wrong? Am I cheap? Do I not make any sense? What? I need a strait answer, and it seems this is the only place I can get one.
Well like anything it's a matter of opinion. I personally can't wait for 3d gaming. Some people hate the idea. Whatever. As to what happened 20-30 years ago, that was crap and died with good reason. The colours were bad, there was lots of washover between lenses and it just generally didn't do a good job of being 3d. The technology in place now is almost completely different.
The 3D tvs are still very expensive and the glasses suck, so my bet is either it'll become popular thanks to dual projectors (I linked in my post above) or a new tv technology that allows it to somehow polarize it's light with only one screen. Well that or possibly glasses with the screens right on them a-la virtual reality.
Either way, it's coming on in full force now and it's really just a matter of time. I guess wait and see what happens!
