As if no-one guessed already – Sony has officially announced plans to release 3D enabled games for its Move motion-sensing controller.
At the Tokyo Game Show, the Japanese consumer electronics giant revealed to the mass media plans to introduce 3D games to its PlayStation Move, while announcing 3D Blu-ray movie support for its PS3 console with a firmware update, which according to reports will be released on 21 September.
Opinions are divided, with others saying that 3D technology is both still in its infancy and an unattractive proposition to most consumers – a situation not expected to change for three years – and others claiming that it makes good business sense as a way for Sony to tout it’s OWN 3D TV sets. There’s also a belief that the Nintendo’s 3DS hand-held gaming device may steal Sony’s thunder, as its technology does not require special glasses. But Sony’s spokesman has refuted all anti-3D opinions, stating that the company is trying to promote the technology in content and that the 3D titles fall in same price bracket as their 2D variants. What do you think?
It’ll be interesting to see how Sony do with 3D Gaming, considering Nintendo are getting the new 3DS and 3D games out in the future. I guess we’ll have to wait and see which of the popular companies comes out on top with all of this!
Solid blog. I got a lot of good data. I?ve been keeping an eye on this technology for awhile. It?s interesting how it keeps varying, yet some of the core components remain the same. Have you seen much change since Google made their latest acquisition in the field?
