You are truly ridiculous if you watched a 3D version of Avatar without the glasses because you thought it looked better that way. Avatar was great in 3D.

“I think next year we should maybe see 15-20 percent of games that will be 3D on next-generation consoles."

What next-generation consoles?  I haven't heard anything from Microsoft, Sony, or Nintendo about a new generation of consoles.  In fact I heard the opposite; that they're content with what they have.

 

Surely he doesn't mean those boxes in the living room that are half a decade old?

Surely I'm not the only one that is getting seriously tired of all this 3D nonsense. Its marketing hype people. 3D has been done before and faded away because it was nothing but a gimic. They're not just rehashing old movies now but old marketing ploys as well. I saw Avatar and felt that it was a great movie encumbered with this awefull 3D garbage. I watched most of the movie minus the glasses because it was better blurry than popping out of the screen. Does anyone truely think this adds any value to the material your watching or is it just wow factor that you haven't gotten over yet? I refuse to see any more movies in 3D and will not submit to games being in 3D either. I am absolutely sure I can't be alone in this.

After reading this article, i thought to myself, "Isn't Ubisoft about a year behind?" In the pc-gamming world Nvidia launch 3-D graphic cards and they had a small, but very good selection of games that you could indeed play in 3-D. It was only a matter of time before 3-D gamming would come to the console, even faster with the release of 3-D T.V. Keep in mind, those t.v.'s are not true 3-D. They are a new version of 3-D that was created, which many where exposed to when they saw any 3-D digital movie in the past 2-3 years. This version of 3-D was created for people that are color blind. If you remember the old 3-D glass (like the ones in the above picture) you had a red lense and a blue lense which picked up on those colors. Due to it beening colors, color blind people could not enjoy 3-D movies. Then this newer version of 3-D came out, where the main image is closer to the camera then the background, kinda gives it a 3-D feel, but actually would be kinda the oppeste of 3-D in the aspect of the image not popping out, but pops in.

I already enjoy playing W.o.W in 3-D and would like to see an xbox360 (or any consel) nooked up to a 3-D t.v.

By the very nature of how video cards render a video game, every 3d game is already in 3d.  It's simply a matter of the video driver being enhanced to output the third dimension in the protocol that 3d TVs expect.  It's just software, no hardware change necessary.  Even the consoles only need a firmware update.

I want to believe, but the news is coming from Ubisoft... can't really trust them anymore.

I bet they will only allow 3D Mode if you're connected to the internet while playing their games lol.
