MLB 11 The Show to Launch in 3D

[spitoon]

I suppose it's possible, but I think that SCEA has shown over the last few years that they are not typically prone to that kind of decision.

I think it would be a major set back in the series (to focus on 3D development at the expense of other features), especially since they are smart enough to know that only a very small percentage of gamers are even going to have a TV that's capable of playing the game in 3D.

They will still have focus on game play, front end, audio, stadium graphics, lighting etc...

I agree...that's what I was saying.

The Show should concentrate more on improving MLB 11. 3-D is an overrated fad that will not catch on.

Exactly, fix the game before any of this 3D crap is added. I want to play a game not watch it.

Absolutely love the idea. I realize most consumers don't have the discretionary budget to go out and procure a 3DTV to take advantage of such a feature, but I think it's an added dimension to gaming that's inevitable.

It's all in how it's handled. Juvenile, incompetent developers will make it a gimmick, but talented, savvy ones will use it just right and we will probably look back at 2D gaming as... flat.

I think what you guys are missing are two key points:

1. Sony makes 3D TVs with their electronics division. I'm sure support of the 3D technology was mandated to SCEA and its many studios for its more successful titles to help launch this new tech. Synergy baby!

2. This is the type of feature that probably has been a WIP for a couple of years now. So any assets and personnel have have already been in place and will not "take away" from bug fixes and other features.

I just dont like the idea in having to play my mlb 11 in nightvision looking goggles. the only way to see the 3d is to wear a pair of battery powered glasses that only work on the tv they cant with, no other 3d sets. so u have to have a seperate pair of $100 goggles for each different brand 3d tv you own

You do not have to play in 3D. This is an option.
