Creative Industries Week 11:What is the future of 3-D gaming?

The future of 3-D gaming would rise in popularity depending on the gamers and with the success of 3-D films such as Avatar and Alice In Wonderland, which are trying to convert the succes through to the home in 3-D, it's only time that can tell when 3-D T.V's will be released, involving other medias such as gaming.

As games are being developed and improved as years go by and storylines begin to be repetitive the gaming industry would need to have a new attraction and many feel that as 3-D is becoming bigger in other medias, why not integrate it into the gaming world? Some experts are going as far as labelling 3-D gaming the saviour games as it has the promise of dazzling lighting effects, detailed backgrounds and more of a pure 3-D gaming speed.

With 3-D gaming along with 3-D T.V's and perhaps even 3-D sound the next step in technology will be the biggest as it will the best piece of technology to be more connected with what your are watching or playing. Different games may differ in the extension of game play using 3-D but games such as Gran Turismo, Motorsormand Wipeout would have a better benefit from depth perception.

However with this new batch of technology soon to be released and how much they cost in production will perhaps be a close enough price as £500-£700 and then the actual 3-D game play experience good or bad would only be expressed once you have triedthe 3-D gaming but from that the only expression from the 3-D gaming thing is that having all the 3-D technology around and maybe too much for purchase straight away the gaming public would have to wait to try the game play.



During game play with your 3-D glasses on would suggest that most gamers would be tired of using glasses to view the effect and resulting with themnot want to use the technology as having to wear glasses to view somethings detail would mean more purchases (with keeping up with he 3-D technology). Along with HDTVs, many suggest that 3DTVS would just bea repeat and cause nothing mor than simple gaming rather than enhance it.

Overall having 3-D gaming would expand the industry to involve other medias but having the choice of playing normally without having to pay for 3-D technology and wearing 3-D glasses would sound better but the choice is of the gamers, however involving 3-D gaming would result in more of an audience for games you wouldn't normally purchase.
