MLB 11 The Show to Launch in 3D

04:11 PM - June 18, 2010 by Steve_OS

According to Jon Robinson, over at ESPN Videogames, MLB 11 The Show will launch with 3D support.

	"When you're standing in the batter's box, we want you to look out and feel like that outfield wall is over 350 feet away," he explains. "It's all about adding that depth of field. But the most important thing for us, in terms of gameplay, is pitch recognition. We want you to see that slider break as it flies toward the screen. We want you to see that high fastball speeding towards you. This will really add another dimension to the game, and that was our focus. It's all about getting those pitch breaks in and the depth of field in the stadiums. If you crank the slider all the way to the right, you'll get a very exaggerated 3D effect," explains Russell. "If you want to turn it down and make it more conservative, just slide it back to the left."

you know, 3D isnt exactly what it's cracked up to be, so far at least, i played the show in 3D at the allstar fan fest in the gaming area with my dad, sometimes the 3D would turn off and it would basically be what you see without the glasses, (which made no sense, how does it look 3D without the glasses when i'm wearing the glasses, lol, that really didnt make sense, but you get the point) not to mention, it just hurt my eyes instead, i'll stick to 2D gaming for now, lol

also, does that mena it will ONLY be in 3D? if so, i may unfortunately have to pass up mlb 11, and i've bought every the show, from 06 to 10, and i dont plan on stopping t 11, but if it'll only be 3D to where i'd have to buy a 3D tv, i'm gonna have to draw the line right there, i hope, and am sure this isnt the case, but still 3D isnt the big thing IMO, tey to make the stadiums look like the roman cathedral in Gran Turismo 5, lol, those graphics would be awsome

Do not have a 3d TV or plan on getting one, but, why are you guys so down about this? I'm sure they wouldn't neglect mlb 11 just to add a 3d feature... I mean they're smart enough to know many won't have one by release. They wouldn't waste all of their resources on something they knew many wouldn't even experience. Plus I'm sure they have serperate divisions for things like graphics, gameplay, presentation... So even if this was time consuming, its not going to effect any gameplay upgrades, or other problems.. Graphics never really were an issue, so if that department is spending a little extra time on this, then it probably won't have a very big impact. This is the best sports game out. Their not going to risk ruining what they've built to add 3D, relax....

Yeah...what this guy said....but with more line-breaks...

I am hopeful that after all the time the animation team has put into working on the 3D feature, we we will have enough time to add a few "runner rounds base in real time after a home run and DOES NOT touch his helmet" animations!

For those talking about the prohibitive costs of a 3D TV, Dell is selling a 3D-ready 60" Mitsubishi DLP for around $800. I got one a couple of weeks ago and the HD picture is fabulous...every bit as good as the picture on my 52" Sony Bravia which cost twice as much. It will cost another $400 for the 3D starter package which includes adapter, emitter, and two pairs of glasses which I plan on ordering soon. So for around $1200 you can have a brand new 60" 3D TV. That's not cheap but it's nothing like the $3000 some people think is required to get into 3D TVs.

Personally I can't wait to try out The Show in 3D.

No it wont only be in 3D. They are just adding 3D to the game. You can still play it in 2D.
