Uncharted 3 is already one of the most anticipated games of 2011 and joins a plethora of other titles in having a 3D mode. Still, EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich thinks that the Naughty Dog game could take 3D in games to a whole new level.
“Even though 3D televisions don’t fall in the budget of mainstream America and adoption rates will likely continue to be slow, something must be said about how beautiful Uncharted 3 looks in 3D,” Divnich commented after viewing the game at a Sony analyst event. “I’ve personally never been fond of games in stereoscopic 3D. Sure, Killzone, Gran Turismo, and MLB: The Show look great in 3D, but I ve personally never felt that 3D added anything significant to my gaming experience. Now that I have had to chance to experience Uncharted 3 in 3D, that opinion has changed.
“With a core focus on cinematic, story, and action, Uncharted 3 is the prime candidate to convince the naysayers that 3D belongs in video games it certainly has convinced me. Uncharted 3 could do for 3D gaming what Avatar did for 3D movies. However, given the significant difference in cost to experience Uncharted 3 in 3D over Avatar in 3D, one certainly shouldn t expect a mad mob rush of consumers to drop $3,000 on a 3D television just for Uncharted 3. Instead, Uncharted 3 will solidify 3D’s legitimacy in the interactive entertainment landscape, just as Avatar did for the 3D movie experience.”
