As per topic.
I was wondering that since Avatar the movie has proven that audiences enjoy the 3D version
of the movie very much, could the same experience be translated to a PC Game also?

Personally i have no idea of any upcoming PC/Console games that will be making use of this
3D view technology, but i think it would be freaking cool to implement this on a game like TESV.
It may also be an industry first i think.

Imagine running thru the grassy field with the 3D grass rushing towards you.
Imagine overlooking a panoramic view in 3D view....breathtaking.
Slashing away at a monster that seems to almost be coming out of your computer screen.

Perhaps gamesas can make this as an optional mode, or maybe even as a seperate 3D version package.
Personally i think this is the way forward how future games are to be experienced.

Waddya'll think? i know i'll be the first in line to queue up to buy if there was such a version even if i have to pay a premium for it.

Actually, if you have a nVidia graphics card, they have a setting where you can change the view to 3-D. However, you must buy some pretty expensive glasses for it to work. <_<

:rolleyes:
Really guys?

That is true. There are a lot of televisions, games, movies, and a few (the new DS, for example) companies that have started using 3-D.

As long as it wasn't something that took a lot of time or resources, it would be pretty neat, although I probably wouldn't use it myself. 3-D won't be accepted by the majority of people until they can watch it without needing special equipment (namely, dorky looking glasses, or even the decent looking shades). It's gotta be plug-and-play for most people.

Not really sure what you mean on this one BoH...

3-D...pfft.

Call me when Holographic Imagers hit the market.

i dunno that dude is back to the future 2 was stylin it with the 3d glasses....

I mean 2 things. #1, this is a suggestion, and there is a official suggestion thread in this section of the forums, yet people keep posting suggestions in new threads because they "deserve" their own topic.

#2, all these "we need this for TES:V!!!" ideas and suggestions are just getting a tad bit ridiculous. WE SHOULD POSTPONE TESV FOR THIS, THIS IS WORTH WAITING FOR TESV, TESV SHOULD BE IN 3DDDDD!!!!!!

It's just kinda to the point like, really? 3D? I'd be happy with a simple RPG.

Alright, thanks for that. I wasn't really sure which part of the whole thing you were talking about

My apologies. mods, please feel free to close or move this thread. thanks.

Theres a few vids of this done with DiRT2 and it looks awsome. And also theyve done it to STALKER and that looks awsome. Only problem though because its rendering 2 frames at the same time (red/blue) it runs at half the speed because ur gfx card is having to render it twice. I dont know how to turn it on though, and I dont know where to get the glasses. I dont see any reason why they should charge so muich for the glasses , after all its just a plastic frame and 2 colored lenses.

Not to be asinine, but 3D view is absolutely meaningless to me. Having never had depth perception, I'm kind of hoping this "3D fad" loses steam and goes away like the last one did. If it becomes the standard I'm going to have to quit electronic media like movies and videogames, because all I'm going to get out of it is blurry images and a splitting headache.

Personally I'd rather they spend more time on content like quests and game mechanics than optional graphics settings that I have no use for.

Absolutely not. I wouldn't want the flagship Bethesda game series to turn into a guinea pig for technology Bethesda's not used to. Just look at the difference between the physics in Oblivion and the physics in Fallout 3.

If there's going to be 3D I'd rather Bethesda test it out on another game first.

Ahem Oblivion used a few technologies bethesda wasnt used to. Such as Antialiasing and HDR Lighting. Compared to other games which came out after it it lacked alot in thos areas, such as you couldnt have both AA and HDR on at the same time, but now its the norm. Most games dont even have the HDR lighting option, because HDR is the norm now for games and is on by default.

One might also argue that Oblivion's use of such technologies is not ideal.

But on the other hand, if Bethesda isn't willing to risk using new technologies for the first time in their games, they'll never get anywhere.

That said, though, I don't really care much if Bethesda uses this or not, I'm still very much satisfied with the way video games are conventionally rendered, even if you can simulate a 3D view modern technology is still not quite good enough to make the graphics actually look real anyway, in the case of Avatar, being as it's a movie, they could use detailed special effects that can't possibly be achieved in a video game, as since video games need to be rendered in real time, ultimately how detailed, and therefore how realistic, their graphics can look will be limited by how powerful the hardware that runs them is, and besides, I don't want to need to wear funny glasses just to play the game. But on the other hand, if it's an optional feature, I suppose it wouldn't do any harm, as long as it isn't too much trouble for Bethesda. Still, I don't think an option for 3D technology like this is ready to become astandard in video games quite yet.

3D is a hardware problem/feature rather than software. And it is possible to play a huge list of games in 3D. All the game developers should do is adding a little compatibility.

Am I the only person who hates 3D or something? It's fun only when it occasionally comes out, everything shouldn't be 3D. Besides, it gives me headaches and rarely actually works

3D is going to happen, and it's going to be awesome (once it's done right).

I'm not talking about glasses-required 3D. That's just a fad. However, just wait until E3 rolls around. I think we're going to be seeing a lot of new 3D tech over the next year. Think about it. Both Project Natal and the Playstation Move feature head tracking. With head tracking comes simulated perspective. If we see games using this tech by year end, then there's a very good chance it will get incorporated into not just TES, but just about everything going forward.

Nah, not really. I consider 3D in its current and foreseeable form just as much gimmicky tech as Microsoft's hand-wavey machine. In the end, it's been a huge conceptual fad that's honestly given virtually zero to the experience of the medium it's employed in.

This.
No thanks.

I don't see how so many people could be so vehemently opposed to something, as vtastek pointed out, that could be added with a simple plugin for compatibility.

I just don't want to play video games in 3D. That just seems ridiculous. :shrug:

Well, I just want to play video games in 3D. Seems awesome to me. :shrug:

Edit: Seriously, Avatar looked AWESOME in 3D - despite the glasses.

But yeah: My eyesight is 20/20. Suppose it'd be an annoyance if you normally wear glasses.

While I'm no expert, but I'm guessing it would add at least a month to development time. That's quite enough reason for me.I'm all for more options, but if they're going to to work on something visually for the next game, it ought to be something that's a bit less of a niche interest. If you really wanted it bad enough, again, being no expert, I wonder if a shader could be developed by the modding community. They've dome some amazing things in the Morrowind engine. It couldn't hurt to ask...

I just don't see what it truly adds. Was Avatar any better or worse of a movie because it did or did not have the illusion of three dimensional movement? I just can't compare it to other graphics advancements, like bloom, HDR, depth-of-field, AA, etc. Those were and are all things that changed how I think of visuals. Whereas 3D, to me, is just sewing on faux impressionism onto things.

If its optionality is quick and easy to implement, then I've got no real gripe. I just don't understand the drive or hype for it.
