Will anyone buy a 3D TV just to play C2? Is it worth it? : Crysis

Will you pony up the 2 Gs to get a new samsung or should we wait till they drop in price. I am thinking since I am going to get one at some point anyway, might as well get it now when it will really rock. Going to have to sell some magic cards though....

Waits for lottery win, or down in price

Good call on the video card, I don't think my ASUS G73 will let me change mine, I think it is fused to the Mboard

Nope... 3D meh

i thought they said that you'll don't need a 3D TV to play Crysis 2 in 3D ?!

» Mon Nov 10, 2008 9:01 am

Not worth it. And 3D on a PC is much cheaper, its only like maybe a total of $500 for the monitor and the glasses (assuming your video card is 3D ready, GT8800 or better).

[quote]i thought they said that you'll don't need a 3D TV to play Crysis 2 in 3D ?![/quote] requires 3D glasses, and 3D capable monitor or TV, if you watch the Vid you will see, massage says, "Creating sterioscopic field" I believe thats the monitors job, ???

I heard the 3d was limited to just the HUD, at least thats what ppl at e3 said. i could really care less about 3d tech right now..

>> goes down the shop, to pinch a pair of 3D specs from the demo TV, << just in case, lol.

While I was at Game Dev Conf, they had a 3D TV set up and I watched as the camera panned through a jungle. It was frickin amazing! I cannot begin to imagine how great it will be to play on a big screen and have the whole game come to life... intense.

lol @Guss, Is that why the Best Buy never has a pair of glasses I can use!

» Mon Nov 10, 2008 3:13 am

hmm I hope the glasses wont be dorky supernerd glasses that make us all look like idiots

I've used a 3d tv in a shop and wasn't impressed. Maybe the technology will get better in a few years. Personally I'm going to wait for the prices to drop and the 3d to get better. Can't wait for crysis 2

u need a min. 120 HZ monitor and the 3d gadget of NVD?A a windows 7 or vista , ( xp is not supported ) then it costs more than 1000 US dollar , or you can buy a 3d TV and a wirles KB and Mouse adabp it to your existing system , but i do not think that t he technology need evulation around 1 year and then you can see many examples and comments at web.
so i think it is early rigth now .

that would be great, because I've seen 3d in other fps games and it looks really out of place, like pop-out picture books, except for when it's the HUD

It looks like those orange viewfinders you used to look at as a kid (If you were a kid in the 80's) where you would swap between picture of the Serengeti and Niagara falls. I don't understand why that would not be preferable to 2D. It is not real life images but it's a step up from what we got now. Weird for someone to say "3D < 2D"....

lst time I saw 3D, was a Jaws movie, dad made us all some 3D specs from sweety wrappers n cardbourd,

» Mon Nov 10, 2008 10:49 am

Nah, it's not worth it. But if your a real C2 enthusiast it may be...

» Mon Nov 10, 2008 8:51 am

Avatar was pretty epic in IMAX 3D, but that is really the only good experience i have had with it, and the 3D in that movie made me really dizzy when i took the glasses off, so it had an undesirable after affect still.

I dont like how 3D is being pushed. I mean like, my 2D Crysis graphics make me just peachy with the eyecandy. Maybe in 5 years i will want pop out books in a game if its done right, but right now i am content.

» Mon Nov 10, 2008 5:16 pm

Too expensive for me now, I will wait until the price of 3D TV drops.

» Mon Nov 10, 2008 10:32 am

I wont buy anny 3D equipment before it can be used without glases

» Mon Nov 10, 2008 4:50 am

Stereoscopic 3d is usually the 2 coloured seperation that can be viewed on any tv/monitor using 2 colour glasses

» Mon Nov 10, 2008 7:56 am

How awful can it possibly be to have to wear glasses? It's not like you're trying to impress girls when you're playing games I hope...?

» Mon Nov 10, 2008 2:41 am

You only need nvidia graphics card and pair of paper glasses to get 3D, then there is more advanced methods with actual glasses and 3D monitor, which is basicly monitor with 120hz refreshing rate, so you get 60hz for both eyes.

Or something like that, I haven witnessed 3D gaming myself but I've heard its great and I probably will buy "3D" monitor and glasses later when 3D is used more widely.
