3D as we know it is fake 3D though, not holograms like in Star wars.
When they say 3D, they're talking about the kind where you used to put on those nerdy glasses in a movie theatre.
Though, I hear there will be no eye-piece / glasses for the 3DS (thank goodness)
I'm pretty sure the name 3D suggests that it's main feature is the 3D, and DS, suggests that it is a sequel to the DS. I'd bet money that it is not it's own series of consoles.
Getting it out of the way that a bigger screen, nor better hardware would be innovative in any way shape or form, I am quite confident in having this discussion as is.
Also 3D is an age old fad that took a grip on movies for a while. It was an illusion that made it seem as if things on the screen had depth stretching outside the screen, to a limited degree of course.
I recall seeing movies that used it. There were scenes practically dedicated to the cheesy effect.
I'd definitely classify it as overrated , and it hasn't held very well either in the movie industry. It is however being re-applied to games suddenly.
Is there any reason to believe it will be any different for games? =/
I mean heck, I configured my old Nvidia card to use the 3D glasses effects in games once, and it made the games look worse if anything.
