Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot has revealed that Ubisoft will be making games which will require 3D glasses, as well as CGI films, books and a TV series.

 

In Ubisoft's defense, people said the same thing about spreading too thinly about Google when it branched from being a pure search engine, and look at the harm it did them.

 

I'd be more concerned at the likelyhood of people buying a "specific" TV just for playing a 3D game. Especially with the (relatively) slow uptake of HD sets.

 

You mean I have to buy a set of 3D glasses AND a new TV?

Sickos.

 

they need to forget about 3d glasses and aim for 3d screens why? you ask because not everyone has 20/20 vision >_< so that means they dont get to enjoy such things as others due where as a 3d screen will have a larger market where everyone but the blind can enjoy.

 

I don't understand where you are coming from. I have pretty bad vision and I have used 3d glasses before. Are you talking about for people who wear glasses? I wear contacts... I'm pretty sure the upgrade from glasses to contacts would cost less than upgrading from a 3d monitor/glasses combo to a true 3d display.

 

I think I'd settle with Johnny Lee-esque head tracking instead.

 

This is just plain stupid. You need only change transformation matrices in displaying engine (opengl or dx) to make your scene stereoscopic. They don't need to create whole new game for it, this option can be added to any exiting game.
