Iwata admits 3D excitement is Fading

[IBNobody]

I don't get excited by rumble and analog these days. Doesn't mean I no longer want them.

Rumble and analog don't lead to eyestrain or headaches.

if this was about the vita it would have been closed or moved right away for "trolling".

I usually play games with 3d off anyways, it doesnt affect gameplay at all. only battery.

I meant when someone says something negative about a system.

Vita = this is not news. Moved.
3DS = lol lets keep this here and laugh at it.

Hence why it would be removed for trolling, lol.

But seriously, what would the Vita version of this 'article' be? "Sony exec admits people don't want HD handheld? Thinks Vita would have been better name than PSP HD?"

Personally, whenever I played a 3DS, I used the settings. I wasn't stupid and blasted them full-on, but found the level I was comfortable with, and I liked the effect. It's not really a negative for or against the system--but you know what is? The horrible anti-aliasing. I don't remember the DS being so jagged. Even if I don't want the 3D setting, I leave it on ever-so-slightly, just to get rid of the jaggies.

It leads to blisters! And dead batteries.

Well that's just because of the rudimentary technology involved in current 3D displays. I wouldn't write-off the entire future of 3D entertainment because of this.

 

[ferofax]

Let's face it, this is like optical wizardry... some people like it, some people, not so much.

Me, I enjoy it. Immensely. And I will continue to enjoy 3D and stereo imagery when I get my 3DSXL.

 

[Wizerzak]

couldn't agree more i hate 3d both in gaming AND movies! that's why i don't go to the cinema much anymore cos nearly every god damn movie is only in 3d and they won't show the non 3d versions! when i get my 3ds xl (this month) i prob won't ever use the 3d setting i get enough headaches already.

They almost always have non-3D versions.

not at MY cinema their in love with it so damn much they only have the 3d versions.

Just wear the glasses and close one eye the entire film.

Anyway, I don't see how this is news; as yuyuyup said, this is badly paraphrased and is completely biased. Every wow-factor wears of eventually, but that doesn't mean you still don't want it.
Hmmm... I think the excitement of having a colour TV has worn off for me.... gonna go back to black and white. /sarcasm

Personally I use the 3D on max on my 3DS all the time and it even bugs me when I have to turn it off if I know I'm not going to be near a mains socket for another few hours. Never had any of this eyestrain or headaches and honestly, even 1 year on, I can't believe people are still attempting to laugh off the 3D as a 'gimmick that destroys your eyes'.

 

[The Milkman]

I honestly think devs could have made 3D something worth turning on if they had just used it in a way like 3D land did. Use it in a shooter as a way of jugding distance and assisting aim, or a puzzle solving element. But sadly they didn't. Personally, if 3D didn't augment scratches and all I would use it much more. I still standby that it is not a gimmick, it has practical use but it just hasn't been utilized yet.

Get two pairs of glasses, flip one pair upside down, and wear them on top of one another. It would work.

 

[chavosaur]

I bought the 3ds for the games. Not the 3D. But the 3D is just there so its nice to have every once in awhile. Its like an ice cream topping. Sometimes the games sweet enough, othertimes you want some gotdang sprinkles. (The problem being most of the time the sprinkles murder your eyes...)

Yeah and look like a dummy while doing it.

Huh?

Also, they have been doing so while looking awesome. Except I didn't think I seen it used for puzzles.
Not saying all games do so,but the added 3d is still pretty nice.

*fixed

I hope they keep 3d for their next handle and improve upon it(with whatever else they add). Really, better batteries should be out by that time.

 

[DiscostewSM]

The 3D is a nice effect, and I keep it on all the time. In fact, the games themselves seem a bit odd when the 3D is off, since it loses that depth. That's just me though.

As was mentioned by yuyuyup, it's not the 3D effect that is losing excitement. It is the initial reaction. Back when the 3DS was first publicly displayed, a lot of people were excited and shocked because of the fact it was glasses-free 3D. Not a whole lot of devices like TVs had this, and this was being incorporated into a mass-marketed device. Now, the initial shock reaction is lower because there are more glasses-free devices released, so it now seems like the 3DS is just part of the crowd, even though it was one of the first to start it up.

People are supposed to be watching the movie, not you.
Why do people care what others think, anyway?

 

[trumpet-205]

I think it has more to do with how 3D is an nichie to viewing experience but does not become part of the gameplay experience.

 

[DaggerV]

That's like saying everyone is wowed when something first comes out and then no one cares two months later, what's new?

 

[Deleted_171835]

Shit news thread once again.

3D is awesome and extremely immersive. In fact, I hope 3D becomes more widespread in the videogame medium. It's great for immersing myself in the game.

3D on the 3DS doesn't result in eyestrain or headaches for most people anyways.

It can take some getting used to, since the method to experiencing that 3D is different to how one usually sees 3D in the real world.

 

[Midna]

I don't think they ever really pushed it as the coolest new thing. They were all about how 3D adds immersion and is a natural step to gaming.
Iwata's also said that their next handheld will also probably feature 3D, not as a selling point, but as a standard.
