if they made it more fun, without aliens... that would be a better future for the game. i could only get into crysis games for the beginning levels. once the alieans started floating about, the appeal planed off. not expecting a whole lot out of the new crysis game due to that.

hahahahahahano.

Crysis 2 is said to have LESS DEMANDING graphics than the original. Its pretty believable considering it will also be on consoles. You'd never see a console run the original.

3D may be the future, but is the future this close? I mean, computers are way ahead in technology (or are the consoles too old?), but the hardware for 3D is still too expensive for the mainstream. Here in Brasil, I don't know anyone with 3D TVs, or even 3D monitors, etc.

I still believe 3d is just a fad. I've tried to watch things in 3d all it does is give me headaches and cost more.

I am not a fan of 3d, no matter how well its done in theaters or even in the home it still gives me a headache and takes away from the experience in my opinion. If I want 3d I will go outside and enjoy it. The fact that everything is being converted to 3d for the sake of charging a little extra even when the 3d is poorly done and is an afterthought (Clash of the Titans and The Last Airbender come to mind) does not help 3d's case with me.

In the gaming world I think we are many many years away from having the technology (at an affordable price) to truly integrate 3d into our games, what they are doing now seems more of a gimmick hologram type of thing.

who here prefers the poorly implemented 3d of today over full definition 2d?

Minimum system requirements are less. AKA, low end requires less, high end requires more. Console version and PC version dont look the same (although in terms of a console game, the console side still looks very impressive).

I'm on the fence as far as 3D goes, that includes movies, games, or T.V. However, let this article serve as a indicator that the future will be 3D, whether you want it or not; you will be dragged into the 3D revolution kicking and screaming.

At least as far as cinema goes, there is no way that 3D is going to become the de facto standard format. I'm not so sure about video games. If all the publishing heavyweights decide to push 3D from here on out, people like myself who despise it as a cheesy gimmick may be forced to look elsewhere for entertainment.

Here's the thing: 3d might cost a lot more and be annoying right now, but as technology advances it might become more viable and a lot better to something you do want. But for that to happen, you need to take the first steps. Just thing about the first computer made... Would you want that in your room? Look at computers now.

I look forward to Crysis 3D bringing the next ten years worth of PC technology to its knees.

Huh, 3D will require twice the framerate, and most computers could barely squeek out a playable 30FPS for the first game. Still, 3D is the logical progression of SLI/Crossfire, if you already have each card render every other frame (depending on the mode), nothing says it has to do it from the same angle. The entry cost though is just too much (special monitor + graphics card(s) + glasses -OR- console + TV + glasses). However, if they make it truly playable in 3D mode, it will be even more playable for those of us sticking with 2D.

Roger Ebert had a really good article about how 3D is just the current gimmick being used by Hollywood to try to get people into theaters (where the real money is made). With BluRay and HDTVs over 60" in retail stores, people don't need to go to theaters to see a big-screen and high-definition movie. 3D is a marketing ploy to offer something in the theaters you can't get at home (in the early days, it was moving pictures in general, then it was air conditioning, then color, then picture size/quality, then surround sound, now 3D). I'm not sure what Hollywood will do if 3D TVs take off (I don't think they will), but it won't be pretty.

I really don't see why so many people hate 3D or even glasses... It's soooo cool, and Carvat is right, cause it's very unlikely that so many 3D TVs were made and now they will just stop making those anymore. Crysis is a great game, I am just waiting to get a better V-card so I can play it in 3D. All of my games are just on disk waiting for that. Don't hate lol, cause I don't care haha.

I personally don't care for 3D at all. Hopefully there will never be a game, movie, or other form of entertainment that does not included a "standard" option. If a game I would normal love only comes in 3D, I won't be buying it.

Most 3DS games will not require 3d and you can easily turn it off with a switch. Good thinking on Nintendos part there.

I keep on seeing that OCZ Vertex 2 SSD advert on this page. So sick of the " expensive like made of gold" kind of storage. Who in the right mind will prefer 64 GB with some speed to 1,5 TB at normal speed...? Dear OCZ I'll gladly hear of " the best of the cheapest" instead of "the best of the most expensive" aka " the best of the best". You're paying those Ad Agencies only to discover that my first line is way better than yours. He-he...good for me, bad for you. Remember dear ssd makers : we the IT users want nothing more than the best of the cheapest. Since money don't grow on trees except fr you who pay for "the best of the best" line. A superlative is absolute, only "the best" suckers.

It doesn't give me a headache at all. But I tried the Nvidia demo at Fry's the other day and I was getting used to it. It didn't feel a whole lot different from playing a normal game without 3d glasses after a short period of time, much like the demo in the nvidia drivers with the red/blue glasses.

It is just somewhat novelty, but I believe it will be more interesting on the Nintendo 3DS. It is mainly a gimmick but at least Nintendo is finally putting out a console with good graphics at any rate and there's a slider to turn off the 3D if one needs to.

Everyone seems to be ignoring the complete LACK of 3d content. There is only ONE, that's right, ONE 3d blu-ray on the market at the moment.

3d Vision? Pff, even a gtx480 slows to a crawl. I've considered selling my gear everyday since the day I bought it. It simply isn't nearly as impressive as the hype.

When Gabe Newell at Valve says "The future of Half-Life will be 3D" I'll bust out my wallet for a new HDTV and stupid glasses.
