Game exec hints at 3D gaming on Sony's PlayStation 3 in 2009

Take this one with a sizable dose of salt, but one Neil Schneider, President and CEO of Meant to be Seen (MTBS), Blitz Games Studios, has made known that Sony "fully intends" to throw in its support for "stereoscopic 3D gaming and Blu-ray 3D on PS3 in 2009 with the Blitz Tech engine." Granted, MTBS is a stereoscopic 3D certification and advocacy group, thus the whole "salt warning." The meat of the story is that 3D gaming on consoles will likely need a BIOS upgrade to work with its technology, and that capability could be unique to Sony's PS3. Like we said, this here is far from carved in stone, but given how emphatically movie studios, cinemas and home entertainment companies are pushing the third-dimension on us, we wouldn't be surprised one bit to hear that the next installment of Madden is one that requires tinted glasses to fully enjoy.

I cannot see why this will not work on X360 or even PC games.

But wait, I thought the PS3 was 4D.. Isnt that what they said when they started marketing it..

So really this is Downgrading the console isnt it..

LOL

F'in Sony will be having to fight that whole 4D thing again if this would ever happen.. They should have thought b4 they spoke...

Plus as far as 3D gaming goes, there was just a dif article yest on a dif site that talked about a dif company stating that their 3D tech would work w/ the PS3 & 360 w/ only a software upgrade.. So I dont see why it would be limited to the PS3.. The console just has to be updated to it and games coded for it.. Why wouldnt it work??

I have a vision of the next gen. nintendo console will have Metroid (Prime 4?) 3D. 10/10 on IGN and it will be ground breaking for fps's. you heard it here- that my theory.
