Yes, more 3D news. Many expect 3D to be a big topic at the E3 gaming trade show next week – and now one developer hints that Microsoft may be planning to reveal their 3D gaming plans. Andrew Oliver, co-founder of UK-based Blitz Games Studios, said at a forum in London: “Microsoft are going to be making an announcement about it at some point soon.”
While the PS3 was patched through firmware to be 3D ready, Mircosoft has said little on the 3D front regarding the Xbox 360. Oliver had a few opinions on that:
On the Xbox it [3D] has been rather quiet. … Our game did come out in 3D on the Xbox 360, so 3D is possible, even through an HDMI 1.2 cable. Ubisoft created Avatar [on the Xbox 360], which includes a mode for 3D on a 3D TV.Although Oliver didn’t say that Microsoft would make their announcement at E3, he did mention E3 when he talked about the large number of 3D games coming for the PlayStation 3.
There’s lots of games coming on the PlayStation 3 very shortly in 3D. There’s a big show on next weekMost of the rumors that have been reported recently regarding the Xbox have been referring to Natal and the possibility of a Slim Xbox 360. Almost nothing has come out regarding the Xbox’s 3D plans, although surely Microsoft is working on something as everybody in the technology space (except for consumers) is going crazy over 3D.
