Is 3D the next big thing?

Check it out. 3D newspapers, seriously?

It seems like there's a big emphasis on 3D lately, and a lot of people seem to be trying to cash in on this "trend". We have movies that utilized 3D exceptionally, like Avatar, and movies that did a crab job like Clash of the Titans. Then we have the 3DS, and all the games receiving 3D support on PC. And now these 3D newspapers.

What do you guys think? Do you think this is just a gimmick that will soon die after people get bored of it? Or do you think it's here to stay for a while?

It makes me sick, I really really hate 3d.


I HOPE its a gimmick and I think it is kinda a gimmick, but I think we'll have to deal with it for a few years - this years e3 is going to be 3d spamfest and I think alot of people will not approve.

I feel like 3d would be nice every now and then but I don't understand why people feel like its the "next" thing, its certainly a side step in display tech not a step forward. I don't want to buy a 3d tv or put on Glasses (curious on how the 3ds is going to do it without glasses though). To me it doesn't improve the immersion at all, it dose the opposite.


Fuuuuuuuu please die off 3d T_T

My feelings exactly.

Anybody see Sunshine...they had something like a holodeck in that movie, only far more realistic and believable tech. they used it to make the very long trip to the sun bearable. That's the direction I hope we head once we get over this Second Coming of 3D. Total immersion, not just flimsy glasses.

Here's the trailer...



Awesome movie by the way. Didn't get the recognition it deserved.

Anyone who is against 3D viewing is going to miss out on a huge part of entertainment history. I'll dish out the 5 grand when I get a job. It is worth it. If someone is bad sick by them, suck for them. If they can't afford it, suck for them. I think people that dislike 3D viewing just can't afford it.

Oh, I can afford it...I just don't want to blow money on repackaged 1950s tech. Granted, its far superior now...its just not revolutionary.

No.. it's just fucking awesome. 1950's tech? Seriously? It's fucking 3D TV. How can't you enjoy that? I can't understand it! It's Killzone 2! Blood flying in your face, bullets going past your head, explosions in the middle of your god damn living room!! COOOOOOOME OON!!!!

Just wanted to say its one of my favorite movies.

I'm not saying it isn't cool or anything...I just want us to get past this infatuation with it and move on to full immersion.

Islandsnake was right in saying this is a sidestep in display technology, not a shove forward.

[Warsaw]

Soo 3D tv's are bad...

full immersion holo deck is good.

Um.... I'm sure 3D tv's are really fucking holding back house hold holo decks.

[Visions of Khas]

I'm tired of 3D. When it becomes a transmissive medium, then we'll talk. Otherwise, as far as I'm concerned, it's a dead-end. Sorry, Warsaw.

Sunshine was a spectacular movie.
