Sly 3 to use 3-D glasses

[EvilBob46]

PS2.IGN (http://ps2.ign.com/) is reporting (http://ps2.ign.com/articles/611/611683p1.html) that Sly 3 will use 3-D glasses.

Sly 3 will feature specific missions that are designed for the 3D glasses that will come with the game. These glasses will help players get a cool view as Sly navigates through invisible lasers, decrypts puzzles, and uses his power-ups. As the game gets closer to completion, more missions and mini-games will have the 3D option designed for them.

Okay...so it is a 3D 3D game then? is that 6D, 9D, 3Dsquared over pi?

Actually, I loved the first Sly Cooper game (never played the second). Apart from the completely different mini games you HAD to beat to progress, it was a very funny, polished and generally nice game. If 3D glasses makes it neater, well shit. Count me in.

[KamaItachi]

This will be great until you lose your glasses/sit on them/drop them in the toilet.

[mkelehan]

Hopefully they won't be of the red/blue variety.

[Murtaug]

Blah.

What of the people that have prescription eye glasses? It's a pain in the ass trying to wear those stupid cardboard glasses over (or under for that matter) regular glasses.

Sounds neat, but lame at the same time.

[dr_qwandry]

god I hate those cardboard things.
But at least they're thinking

The one thing cooler than playing video games is playing video games while wearing dorky glasses.

Haha... if that were true the virtual boy would have been a smash hit. :rolleyes:

[EyesNoMore]

Gimmick! ... Oh wait, this isn't a Nintendo game. Nevermind. :p

I hate to break it to you but it will be. The only other kind of glasses that will work on a TV are LCD glasses which are A.)Too expensive and B.)Reduce the refresh rate of the TV to 30Hz. Blue/Red aren't so bad.

I'm having Rad Racer flashbacks.

[funtownarcade]

Hell yeah! Who remembers pressing select in Rad Racer to enable 3d glasses mode?
Good way to combat piracy too.

Not true, there were a completly transparent type of 3D glasses that were made popular in the mid-90's, used for a 3D episode of Home Improvement among other things. I still have a pair that came with this 3D Dinosaur Adventure thing for an OLD PC I had (the previous owners threw it in when we bought it).

Huzzah! I wasn't the only one who hated those god damn mini-games while loving the rest.

Dear God this is retarted.

Umm, Speedy Richard, what are you trying to say? Proper spelling should generally accompany declarations of stupidity.

Anyway, I trust the Sly guys to do something cool with this.

Correct, it used two differently polarized lens' I think... They were each slightly 'shifted' a bit differently so the picture came together -- the picture just needs to support it and it will work.

I can't really remember exactly how it worked, but there are better ways than the red/blue glasses that don't cost a lot and don't have moving parts.

[VolantDave]

This sucks.
Being stereoblind the 3d gimmick stuff never works for me. I hope those parts are playable without the glasses.

[bobbler]

I decided to read a bit on the different 3d glasses, it seems the polarized 3d glasses require 2 projectors to work (meaning I don't think that will work on a tv). Theres also pulfrich 3d glasses are kinda nifty, it works by using 1 darkened lens and one clear -- light passes through the darkened lense slightly slower which causes it to be a frame behind or so (this is your best bet VolantDave, the picture looks perfectly fine viewed normally) -- not sure how well it would work with the game though, it only really works when the object is moving horizontally and going one direction, you'd have to flip the lenses for it to work going the other direction (oddly enough, otherwise the picture gets reversed and foreground objects look further away than background objects). The anaglyph 3d glasses (also known as the red/blue) are what everyone dreads but it seems like they are the easiest to implement for the game =/

By doing what? Making the game really fucking ugly?

Sly 1 & 2 were totally cool. I'm looking forward to this, gimmick or not.
