PS3 Getting Enthusiastic 3D Support from WWS

Posted March 16, 2010 by David Radd

3D is really in vogue right now, and Sony is pushing very hard for the technology on the PS3. While Ian Bickerstaff, Sony Computer Entertainment's senior engineer on the stereoscopic 3D, is upbeat about 3D, he's also realistic.

“We're taking a cautious approach,” said Bickerstaff to Gamasutra. "I think [3D gaming uptake is] going to depend on the uptake of 3D televisions. We're not going to spend crazy, crazy amounts of money [on 3D games] expecting everyone tomorrow to have 3D TVs, clearly. But, we believe this is the future, and three or four years from now, you won't be able to buy a television that doesn't have a 3D capability."

As for support for 3D from Sony Worldwide Studios, Bickerstaff said, "It's all a bit confidential, but [there'll be] a lot, let's put it that way. We've been amazed by the enthusiasm from the developers. To be honest, we have not had an internal project to throw at people to make their games in 3D, yet there are loads of games in 3D, like [MLB 10], Super Stardust HD, that looks fantastic, and so on. And that's really just because of the enthusiasm from the developers themselves."

David Radd has worked as a gaming journalist since 2004 at sites such as GamerFeed, Gigex and GameDaily Biz.

The only real downside to not having blu-ray or hd-dvd is that some games will have to be on multiple disc. But I didn't complain about that during the PS1 days so I won't complain about it now. driver downloads

It's supposed to be comforting that all the layoffs at Fox Interactive Media amount to less than 5% of the overall workforce there in MySpace, FoxSports.com, IGN, and PhotoBucket. online fax

What it comes down to is that the rights to the intellectual property has been treated as basically public domain. Make all the Elves and Dwarves you want, but only Lucas can make a game with a Jedi. sell products online

# Retro-gamers are partly responsible for the popularity of console emulation. Some collect old video games and prototypes, or are in the business of refurbishing old games, particularly arcade cabinets. Some even make their own arcade cabinets.driver downloads
