this game needs real-3d support for PS3 release

[kazaran]

The Ps3 hardware is already stressed even with the 2.0 revamp and new engine, so adding 3d capabilites isn't goign to work out well. They are still vamping issues with the PS3 displaying more models on screen at once, so expect the ps3 to have a reduced distance that players and mobs apear. Even with Luminous running it.

Stick with a PC and Nvidia vision to play it in 3D, which acually can be a pain in this game.

Isn't the 3d fad dead yet? <.<

No, and it's not going to die either, thanks to James Cameron.

Unless you buy a cheap brand like LG. You're still going to pay almost $1,000+ over a same size HD non 3-D TV.

This is where all credibility goes flying out of the window. Firstly, LG isn't that bad a brand, and secondly even a year before when the post I'm quoting was written I could've bought a brand new Sony Bravia 46" 1080p LCD (HDTV) for only $650, not even at a discount(/used/etc.) price, but the standard price. Around the time the quoted post was posted, I was also looking into getting a brand new Panasonic Viera 40" 1080p LCD-3D (HDTV) which would've cost me about $800.

Currently the standard is now HDtv. 56% of american households have a HDtv in them, and it's projected that only 2% of americans will have 3D HDtv by the end of 2011.

2011 was only 3 months away from ending by the time you wrote this.

It's great if you have disposable income and can buy neat gadgets. As a younger gamer I did just that, I bought a huge TV (multiple!)I bought surround sound systems, I bought consoles, PCs blah blah blah. On a whim I'd go out and buy a couple hundred bucks worth of games. Now, my perception has changed. I have a mortgage, A wife and a family. I'm not going to plop down another $1,500-2,600 for a 3d-tv and another $220 for the glasses. How many of you will be in a similar situation in the future?

Disposable income is one thing, lying about how much something costs is another thing entirely.

The TV market is trying to go the route of cell phones and have people "upgrade"every 2 years. 3-D is todays drive for sales. then it's going to be 3-D w/o the glasses, then after that it's going to Ultra HD sets.

A lot of people just bought a large HD tv in the last few years. 3D is a gimick, I just don't see that 56% of american s who own a HDTV to go right back out and buy a new 3D set so soon.

Avatar and Resident Evil: Afterlife would both like a word with you if you really think 3D is just a gimmick.

Edit: actually, for that matter, every technological invention has started out as a gimmick. Nothing stops being a gimmick until people adapt to it. U3DTV is like anything else, and it soon will become the standard, and probably even faster than HDTV ever did.

Ah... the PS3 limitations-crap have already begun. Please do tell us of your PS3 ported 2.0 revamped FFXIV that you've been able to stress test with on your PS3.
