Okay, I've seen a lot of adverts for this new movie, My Bloody Valentine 3D, and for me I think this would be quite an awesome film, just because it's 3D.

Now, since this is a gaming discussion board, what would you people think if they released a video game (of any genre) that could also be in 3D. (Not a game where it's all 3D, you'll be able to turn it on and off whenever you felt like it.)

I only know one video game that had 3D in it, and that was Sqaures Rad Racer in the late 80's for the NES.

I'd love Viva Pinata in 3D. It'd be like being hugged with joy and colour

3D Shutter Glasses had a lot of potential. Sinistar Unleashed was awesome wearing a pair of those. So also was Natural Selection. Unfortunately, not a lot of games had proper Z-Buffer support, but I'm hoping that Stereographic (or possibly Holographic) Monitors catch on as a standard, in which case we'll see some true 3D games before too much longer.

no no game in complete 3d will be good it will be very complicated and give more seizures than the first game boy.

Sly 3 in 3D did not enhance my gaming experience whatsoever.

I guess if anyone was going to make a game in 3D nowadays they should do it right, but lately it seems that companies don't even test their games before releasing them.
Maybe one day someone will make a new 3D game and do it right.

there was a pretty cool contra game that had 3d and was pretty fun, i think it was for ps1

Now that you mentioned that, I remember it, but it didn't really make you feel that something was coming out at you from the TV.

Burnout. If anything should be done properly in 3D it should be Burnout.

Or Motorstorm.

I think something like condemned would work pretty well, or maybe stalker. That moment when an unarmed enemy jumps on you in condemned would be pretty scary in 3d.
The only problem is that weapons used wouldnt appear to make contact with the enemy would they? The 3d would mess up contact physics pretty badly.

I agree with you, I think if there was to be a new 3D game it should be in the horror genre; it would sure make it a whole lot scarier.

I'm sure there might be problems, depends what kind of gameplay the game actually is.
Maybe a horror game that has the gameplay like Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) and is 3D in cutscenes might work.

I suppose it doesn't have to be the enemies that are 'jumpy out of screeny' (brand new term i invented)
Using 3d for environments, cant help but think about left 4 dead regarding this one, it would really help build up a claustrophobic feel.
ooh and weather effects!
OOH and FIRE!!!

Condemned 3(or whatever it may be called), Burnout ____, and Bioshock 2 would be great with 3d visuals :3

Gaaaayyyy...
(When's it coming out!? When!?)

A guy on the internet through some clever projector-trickery managed to (allegedly) play Metroid Prime 3 in 3D with 3D glasses. I'm not sure how successful it was, but interesting nonetheless.

imagine a movie like the exorcist as a game in 3d O_O id freak

The Alien games would be great in true 3D, imagine it, you're a marine walking through an abandoned Medlab somewhere and a facehugger leaps up onto your face (as in actually on your face, not just filling up the whole screen) now that...would be freaky.

I remember hearing about a vest that you could wear during games that send vibrations to your torso when you're shot/take damage etc., again, in an Alien game this would make it ever more immersive and downright scary (think about it...chestburster?).

Just a thought...

I first saw the preview for this when I was went out with my friends to see saw5. Really the only intresting thing about it is the guy kinda reminds me of HUNK from Resident Evil. May be if you play as the guy it could be good but I have to see the movie before any good ideas come to mind.

Every PS3 game?
I don't think 3D would work for all games and I'm sure using the 3D for a long time might do stuff with your eyes.

Indigo_Dingo:

I didn't say it could work, just that it can be done.

Yeah, and I doubt many people would want to wear 3D glasses for every game they play; I just think it would be better for some games, mostly horror ones that would probably make the game more intense.

Mirror's Edge would be crack in 3D to me. If they could also make some sort of wind machine that blows in your face whenever you sprint/jump that would be even better.

My Bloody Valentine 3D?

What is it? A bunch of bored middle class kids, sitting around, listening to bad music and cutting themselves?

Indigo_Dingo:
Well I wear my regular glasses for nearly every game I play.

Same here, I think wearing two pairs of glasses at the same time would be irritating too.

That would be quite awesome, and perhaps improved gameplay too would be good; and with the wind effects, just get a friend to watch the game and just have them turn a fan on when ever you're running.

I've only seen adverts, it is mean to be a violent gore horror I suppose, in 3D.

Nah I don't think my friends would appreciate that xD
There should be a way to make a custom program that does it... But I'm not that good at tinkering.

What ever happened to cheap cardboard with red and blue plastic eye lenses?

I'll wait for a quadragraphic system to go with my quadraphonic stereo. Oh yea, my stereo is four-way.

I think 3D gaming is lame. I mean, what's so good about looking at a screen with goggles on having it jump out at you - as soon as you move your head the picture skewes in a random direction and crap.

3D gaming is lame; they should just be able to diectly stimulate your brain to make you feel like you're in the game.

Though i'd rather they didn't 'cause that'd be freaky.

If they did manage to put us into games, I'd like the first games to be adapted to be the Metal Gear Solid series.

Well, it's me, so what do you think I'm going to say? Rock Band of course.
Now before you say I'm off at it again, hear me out. The noteboard, the characters actions, the crowd, they could all come out at you as you play. I think it could work.
Not with 3D glasses though, that would be stupid. As I have seen with my (Hopefully to be) trademark hat, rock out too hard, and nearly everything on your head will fall off. My glasses don't because they're reliable, but 3D glasses are one of those things that are BOUND to come off while playing.
