Prescription glasses ruin 3ds 3d effect

[WiiUBricker]

I wear glasses and I'll wait till I actually play the 3DS myself before agreeing to some idiot on the web.

Agreed.

Hideo Kojima can't stand games and doesn't play them.

That makes him nothing more than a common prostitute.

Lol, but I think the fees he earns would probably have him count as a high class trick.

I see no mentions of contacts, any issues with those?

You guys are suckers for instantly buying this bullshit. I saw a 3d movie wearing my regular glasses and it was fine. I'm willing to bet I can view 3d on 3DS perfectly.

This!
Unless your glasses have the thickness of a glass bottle bottom, I wouldn't buy any of this nonsense.

+1
My whole family has vision glasses except me, and we see 3D movies all the time.

3D with glasses still works well on me despite wearing glasses (I own a 3D television), so this most likely will work on me even if there's a few minor problems but even those problems won't stop me from playing this awesome system as there is a 2D option in case of annoyance or strain.

Actually my glasses are extremely thick... (Without my glasses something has to almost touch my face in order for me to see it sharp) Let's hope there'll be no problems. I preordered one anyway, if it is like the guy said I'll just keep the 3D off.

I have bad news for you guys who are picking up the NGP over the 3DS. I played it and it gave me cancer. I'm sure you'll all believe me, too, since i'm just as reputable as this guy...

 

[jceggbert5]

Well, Nintendo is advertising it as "3D, without glasses"... Just a thought...

 

[mysticwaterfall]

With how many countless millions of people wear glasses, I find it very had to believe this is a universal effect. Will some people have problems seeing the 3D on the 3DS? Yes, undoubtedly. Just as people have problems with 3D Movies and TV. But blanket statements like this are just silly, as is everybody suddenly thinking it's the end of the world based on one person's experiences.

Bottom Line: Sucks if you can't see the 3D, but the vast majority of people won't have a problem.

EDIT: +1 to Twinretro, and would like to throw I also wear a realtivly high prescription (-5.75) and haven't had a problem with 3d tv or movies.

The president of Nintendo wears glasses!!! You dont think he would have noticed the problem?! This is fucking stupid. Im not taking some random guy on the internet word for it. Of all the people who have gone hands on with the 3ds over these past months, you dont think any of them wore glasses? If this truly was a problem something would have been said day one at E3.


and even if it is a problem..... i dont care cuz I got 20/20 vision bitches! word!

 

[shakirmoledina]

ppl have seen cross eyed videos (on youtube) in 3d with glasses, tht is totally messing with your vision (even me)... maybe headaches will be more than normal though i disagree on tht too. i wear glasses in my house while my family does not (usually) and i was the only one who could see the cross-eyed 3d
notice no one commented on fast's post in the first page, IMO it was too difficult to grasp lol

 

[spinal_cord]

I don't wear glasses myself, but don't they work by magnifying the light in front of the wearer? Surely the only difference between wearing or not wearing glasses, would be that the 'sweet spot' would be either much closer or much further away from the 3DS screen?

 

[xist]

Glasses don't magnify, they refract the light to either bend it more or less (dependent upon your prescription which is determined by lens and corneal powers) so that it falls in focus on your retina.

 

[Pazuzu]

Pretty sure the guy just has a squint/lazy eye or something. Those of us with glasses weren't any less gapingly enamoured by the 3D at the Amsterdam event.

 

[xist]

A squint, or reduced stereo-acuity or any number of other eye issues that stop your eyes working binocularly would certainly cause issues. If you've got Prisms in your prescription that means you...

 

[ProtoKun7]

well that just sucks. guess I wont be using the 3D effects as much as I thought.

Unfortunately, I don't think there will be any way to tell if 3D is required to beat the game (without a walkthrough) except to either buy it and hope for the best or wait until someone has tried to beat it without 3D.

It's been stated that the 3D is just visual; though it may make some aspects of gameplay easier, it shouldn't be essential.

By "just visual" I mean just an add-on effect; it's obvious it's visual.

solution: buy an NGP instead!
