lulz at nvidia '3-d'. can we even call it that? you know, you can add as much perfume as you want to crap...but in the end, its still crap.

...oh, btw, killzone 3 has a confirmed release date of feb 22, 2011. goodbye pc graphics, hello true 3-d (and hello sony bravia 3dtv for me).

Any trailers/such for KZ3? I really liked the grafx for KZ2 and it was alright to play (didn't understand gameplay that much... :-\).
I'm sorry I crammed 11 cookies in the VCR.

Says the person who's never tried it.  Based on the same factor, Killzone 3 is nothing more than yet another halo clone.  And it can't even rip something off correctly.

since when were we discussing story material versus graphical performance? i could care less if it was a man on a mission to save a ham sandwich...ITS FREAKIN' TRUE 3D! :)

it is also not necessary for anyone to try it when anyone can see, for fact, it is a real 3d game.

They are quite amazing, I must say. Can you explain the gameplay of KZ? I didn't get it when I played....

i've never played a kz game myself, but as kittens pointed out, its pretty much a halo/gow-esque kind of fps. with cod and halo dominating the market, other fps' pretty much walk in their shadow and dont get noticed all that much. hopefully people will be drawn in by the 3d.

Very true. It's probably one of those games that you have to know EVERYTHING about it, like UFC Undisputed. I prefer button-masher fighting games.

I still, from the vantage point of never having anything to do with it, think it's terrible.  And all the three-dee stinks.

Or, I could go check it out myself.  I saw this trailer.  My verdict: another bland fps, this one substituting white for the usual brown.  Which is all well and good, if you like bland fps action (I don't), but that doesn't make the console "better".  As to the 3D, PC had it first.  Neither of us is qualified to determine the quality, so the only solid fact is that we had it years before you.  I would hazard a guess that most of the research come from us.

3D has been around since the 50's.  (Mainly in film form)

im a huge fighting game enthusiast myself...soul calibur 4, super street fighter 4, tekken 6, marvel vs capcom 2, blazblue...all great fighters.

I still, from the vantage point of never having anything to do with it, think it's terrible.  And all the three-dee stinks.

you're entitled to that opinion. but you're in a camp with very few other people. as has been proven with the success of 3d movies, true 3d is all the rage now (it would truly sadden me if you havent seen avatar in 3d yet...stunning).

Quote
Which is all well and good, if you like bland fps action (I don't), but that doesn't make the console "better".

3d versus non-3d...hmm, yeah, thats a tough call there...

As to the 3D, PC had it first.

false. please direct me to any pc videogames that were built from the ground up in 3d. you cant. zero. zilch. nvidia geforce 3d looks like a poor excuse for 3d. it more than likely relies on headtracking, which is what the new nintendo 3ds will be using...which isnt true 3d.

Quote
...so the only solid fact is that we had it years before you.

pc does not have true 3d.

I would hazard a guess that most of the research come from us.

...when admittedly you say the movie industry has been doing it since the 50's.

3D gaming comes from us.  And "true" 3D is when there are actual three-dimensional objects.  y'know, unlike a screen.

I'd rather play a 2D Portal 2 than a 3D (insert bland FPS here) any day of the week.

if you want to pass off poop-shine as 3d, be my guest. when it comes to movie-quality 3d that can be played on a 3dtv, ps3 will be the first, thank you.

I'd rather play a 2D Portal 2 than a 3D (insert bland FPS here) any day of the week.

bland is subjective. bland is irrelevant to the discussion. this entire discussion has been about true 3d (and lets clarify, when i say true 3d, i mean the best the industry can push out currently, which is the kind that is viewed on 3dtv's), not whether you favor a color scheme or not.

Look at your hand.  It has three dimensions.  Look at your screen.  No matter how images may appear to be 3D, it is not truly three-dimensional.

As to subjective, your argument that an entire gaming platform is better due to it having a certain type of graphics capability is entirely subjective.

I'm a little late to this conversation. Whatever.

I'm gonna buy a year of live and then I'll probably stop. They should be rewarding us for sticking with them instead of going with PS3 which has FREE online gameplay but nooo they raise the price..

Just finished playing an hour of Alien Swarm (Kinda like Space Hulk), for free.  Thank you Steam!
I also had the Colbert Report in my second monitor.  Multitasking!

you were the only one that has brought up actual 3 dimensional, real-life objects. i am the one arguing for the best graphics that appear 3-dimensional in the industry. i even clarified my (obvious to most) point of what i meant by 'true' 3-d as recent as my last post:

this entire discussion has been about true 3d (and lets clarify, when i say true 3d, i mean the best the industry can push out currently, which is the kind that is viewed on 3dtv's)...

...so really, unless you dont read or completely misinterpret everything i say, you really have no excuse.

if you argued that super nintendo graphics were better than xbox 360 graphics, i would be ashamed to call you a gamer.

oops.

oh yes, because its OH SO OBVIOUS i was referencing in-real-life (which, ftr, you have been the only person in this thread to interpret 3d in such a manner) 3d every single time i said '3d'. hmm, we're talking about videogames, we're talking about the graphical capabilities of 3d...it doesnt take a rocket scientist to put 2 and 2 together. oops.

Point 1.  You used the words "Real 3D".  I can either read your mind (which I can't), or take your words literally.  I won't accept responsibility for your inability to communicate.

Point 2.  You have very much to learn.  Do some actual research before using a term like "straw man", so you won't look like as much of an idiot when you shoot your mouth off.
       Subpoint A.  This is not an example of a "Straw Man" argument.  You can clearly tell by my use of the word "if".  It was a hypothetical situation, rather than postulating you said something you didn't.
       Subpoint B.  I simply rephrased something you said.  If this phrase was a game-changer, it was on both sides.
 Debate is okay.  Calling people idiots is not.

you should take responsibility for the inability to comprehend.

resorting to calling people idiots as a last-ditch effort makes you look even less intelligent than you're trying.

The straw man fallacy occurs in the following pattern of argument:

1.Person A has position X.
2.Person B disregards certain key points of X and instead presents the superficially-similar position Y.

looks pretty legit to me.

Subpoint B.  I simply rephrased something you said.

you mean, you distorted something i said into superficially-similiar position Y?
