So I’m up in the air about 3D. As you see from this video gameplay in 3D is horrible for people not wearing 3D glasses so you’re basically cutting yourself off from anyone who wants to watch you game. That said, 3D in games looks pretty amazing. This footage from Avatar – looks like a run and gun – includes some commentary by the folks playing the game.

Will it take off? In niche markets, I think it will. As one of the the other wags here noted, 3D won’t get big until they score some porn distribution deals. But is Blu Ray porn even taking off? You can only get so close to HDOB before you get a little turned off.
