I was at my friends house this weekend, and he told me that he had something that I absolutely had to check out first hand. So he sits me down on his sofa, and hands me these 3D shutterglasses. He puts Avatar into his Xbox 360 and turns on the 3D mode in his HDTV.
I must say, it was pretty freaking impressive. This isn't your grandma's red and blue 3D glasses from the 1950's, this shit was legit. In the game, I was one of the marine/soldier guys, and I was running around in this jungle. Seeing the jungle in 3D was pretty trippy to say the least. Especially if you look down at the ground (in the game), while your guy is walking forward. It literally seems like you are looking thru a window at a real 3D scene taking place in front of you. The effect is even more pronounced when you are driving a vehicle. The game allows you to drive a dune buggy type thing, and also some speedboat type thing. The 3D is very convincing during these scenes.
I didn't get to play the game very long as I had to get back home, but I definitely left his house thinking that 3D might actually be the future of gaming. I asked him if the actual game itself was any good, and he thought the game was pretty substandard, but he bought it just to test out the 3D goggles that he had.
Anybody else try out this game in 3D?
