With the tools in the engine already I was hoping you guys would enable 3D support for MWO. I know a lot of people are not yet fans of 3D, however as a Jr. Game Designer and an avid Battletech/Mechwarrior fan I feel this is prefect for the Genre.

Sorry if this is a re-post.

Cheers,

Konrad

I for one would hope there is no 3D, tried the glasses in the store to check out a TV and got a splitting headache after about 5 seconds.

That and the fact my tech base is older than 3025 and my hardware would not support it.

[Vulpesveritas]

Just because a game supports 3D, doesn't mean you have to try to play it in 3D. And some of us like it.

+1 to 3D. It shouldn't be hard to do with CryENGINE 3.

[Adridos]

There was already a discussion for it. It is expensive and doesn't add that much. Not that it couldn't be implemented later, ofc.

@Adridos. There is no need for PGI to spend resources on doing 3D as as far as I know, it is as simple as flipping a switch in CryEngine 3

yep this is somewhere else in the forum.

It is NEVER as easy as that.


3D is basically a waste of time and money right now. not enough people own 3D sets to make it worthwhile, and i would much rather they spent the time working on the game rather than gimmicks surrounding the game.
But you never know.

FYI that "stereoscopic pipeline" = yes it is pretty much just flipping a switch for 3D for stereoscopic 3D (depth of field instead of 'in your face' 3D) when it comes to CryENGINE 3. (unless I'm hugely wrong)

I really don't have much love for 3D. It's seriously gimmicky. Now, holographic? Give me a call when they get that working.

[canned wolf]

3D doubles the required framerate which isn't a big deal in prerendered movies, but in games it means dumbing down graphics to accomodate the extra load on the video card. 120 hz refresh rate is asking alot of most PC's for a technology that is not well developed or supported. Track IR would be way easier and I'm not holding my breath there.

[Vulpesveritas]

/me points up at previous posts which keep being ignored

CryENGINE 3 is good for 3D, stereoscopic 3D means they don't have to code the graphics specifically for 3D, they do the graphics standard then the engine can do the work so if you have a graphics card that supports it it can run the 3D >.> <.< Unless, somehow, I am hugely wrong.

[canned wolf]

I'm sure cryengine can support it, but can your pc? Once again 3D DOUBLES the required refresh rate that a video card has to support. You have a limited amount of processing power for graphics, so to accomodate this you can reduce screen resolution, reduce graphical complexity, or retain both and listen to people complain when they turn on 3D and their systems crash.

What are you willing to give up to get 3D? Nothing is free.

[Kaemon]

I am ready for 3D, bring on the pain (migraine pain that is).

For those who have GPUs who can support it just flip the switch on their graphics options. simple as that. All the devs have to do is let people who can run it have the option.

[canned wolf]

I'm going to do some reading, maybe there's something i'm missing here. Nothing happens in programing by just flipping a switch though.

"The world's most advanced game engine, CryENGINE 3, now ships with full Stereoscopic 3D (S-3d) support at the click of a button."

[Fyrwulf]

If you have a 6xxx or 7xxx series AMD video card, you have single monitor 3D support. nVidia, I know, have certain cards that support triple monitor setups. Frankly, I'd love nothing more than to be able to hook up the PC I'm going to build to a new Vizio 3D TV.

[Vulpesveritas]

the 79xx series supports 3D on up to 6 monitors.
