MLB 11 The Show to Launch in 3D

Re: MLB 11 The Show to Launch in 3D

There may be another option for 3d gaming in the form of a 3d monitor. I do quite a bit of my gaming on a 24" Dell monitor,when the tv is in use for other things. I imagine 3d monitors won't be too far behind tv's. A good 24" monitor can be had for $ 3 - 4 hundred,so my guess would be around $600. Still alot of money,but not the 2 grand I see most of the 3d Hd's are going for.

3D monitors have been around for a few years now. They already make them for use without glasses.

Besides, with the time spent on making sure the 3D stuff works right, it won't leave much time for other features, or more importantly fixing the numerous bugs and glitches that have plagued MLB 10.

It seems like this conversation comes up every year...."I can't believe they are adding Feature X....that will tie up the entire dev team, and nothing else will get added..."

I'm not picking on you, cardsfan2222, just reassuring you that won't be the case. There is plenty of new stuff in MLB '11, with new things being added every day.

I think the last part of your post got cut off where you give some nice examples of the new stuff.

Jk. Sounds great and I can't wait.

Like getting rid of that "Catcher sweeping tag" animation or "Outfielder running into the wall for no reason" animation? Please?

Yes please. The outfielder suction animations too.

Re: MLB 11 The Show to Launch in 3D

I'll be honest, I think 90% of people do not have such a TV, and the more I think about this feature, the more I'd love to see a sample of it in action. It's almost exciting to imagine the experience.

I'll say this, I sure would rather have the ability to upload my personal heckles and cheers first though. But that's just because I fall into the 90% mentioned above.

You do not have to play in 3D. This is an option.

Yeah, I'm not sure why some people are freaking out about 3D. It won't be required to play MLB 11. Personally, I don't see myself getting a 3DTV (just got an HDTV) and I see 3D as being more of a fad than something with staying power, but you can't blame companies like Sony for trying to evolve and come up with new ideas. Who knows, 3D may catch on and all of us guys that already wear glasses will have to figure something out.

The problem with 3D is that it forces the consumer to buy entirely new technology that eats into disposable income. Not everybody has the money to go out and buy one of these sets, but when they become the standard, consumers are going to be stuck between a rock in a hard place. Either upgrade or miss out.

Then you have people like me who get actual migraines from watching something in 3D for more than twenty minutes. There are those who can't adapt well or at all to 3D, and people who wear glasses in everyday life. The problem here is with 3D itself though.

That all being said, if 3D is being done by another group away from fixing, refining, and perfecting the Show, then it's fine by me. In five years time we'll laugh about the 3D fad of the 2010's and move on in life.

I don't disagree with any of what you said. And, as I stated, I'm not a proponent of 3D myself. I'm just saying is that there's nothing wrong with companies like Sony to try and make 3D viable. It doesn't have to be for everyone. If it comes to a point where 3D is attempted to be sold as the 'one and only' way to watch TV or movies or play videogames, then yeah, I'll be joining the picket lines on that.

I really don't see this announcement affecting how good/bad 11 will be in any tangible way, but that's just me.

Re: MLB 11 The Show to Launch in 3D

This topic is getting dissected to no end. The game has the ability to be viewed in 3D, great! If you have the means to view that perfect, if not no loss. No different then how movies are being viewed now. If I am not mistaken I thought the Show 10 was shown off in 3D as well at a show? Why is everyone freaking out now?

I'm not sure this will be true. I went to Orlando a month ago and there was 3D everywhere you looked. I went to 6 different 3D shows throughout the week. It's one of the main entertainment things down there in the parks.
