Sony To Launch First 3D PS3 Games On Friday

Stoobalou writes "Sony plans to show off the first 3D PlayStation 3 games in the UK on 10 June, with a retail launch on 11 June. If you were wondering why Sony is shutting down half the PSN today for maintenance, then wonder no more. We reckon the company's simply gearing up for the launch of the PlayStation 3's first stereoscopic 3D games. Unfortunately, many game developers are seemingly indifferent to the 3D revolution at the moment. In fact, EA CEO John Riccitiello reckons that it's going to be a good three years before 3D becomes a standard gaming feature. Riccitiello explained that there's a big difference between converting a game to run in 3D mode and properly developing it to take full advantage of the extra dimension."

No, you haven't.
You've played games with a 3d world locked in by a 2d interface.
Doom would be 2,3d, quake would be 2,6d and now, finally, comes 2,9d.
Full 3D will also require multiple screens or bent screens.

hahahaha what? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax says that it involves stereoscopy or two viewpoints.

Parallax is an apparent displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight, and is measured by the angle or semi-angle of inclination between those two lines.
Nobody talked about the guy moving around, especially considering archery.
