Blitz dates stereoscopic Kung-Fu game
Invincible Tiger for XBLA, PSN in August.
Blitz Games co-founder Andrew Oliver has told Eurogamer that Invincible Tiger: The Legend of Han Tao will be released in August.
That's the stereoscopic-3D enabled Kung-Fu platformer, which will apparently cost 1200 Microsoft Points (GBP 10.20 / EUR 14.40).
Stereoscopic 3D means you can - if you have a telly that can handle it (and only one in the UK currently can) - pop goggles on and play the game in proper 3D.
Oliver demonstrated the game to us at the Brighton Develop Conference. After donning a pair of clunky prototype 3D glasses and switching to 3D mode, lo and behold, the 2D platform levels were lent a very impressive level of depth, as if one could reach into the scene.
To achieve this, the engine Han Tao runs on needs to pump out a 60FPS game. The details are less intricate, then, but the game has a fast and furious Hong Kong cinema pace and feel as a result. It's quite tricky, too.
Look out for our full interview with Andrew Oliver about the technology, plus our hands-on impressions of Han Tao, soon.

"if you have a telly that can handle it (and only one in the UK currently can)"
You misunderstood. Check the context.

Although it's probably so expensive only one or two people are silly enough to buy it.

Probably save me the cost of a very expensive TV, though!

First, 3D viewing modes are optional - the game still runs in traditional 2D-o-vision and looks pretty damn lovely too imho
As well as the full stereoscopic mode the game does indeed support the old red/green (and red/blue and red/cyan and cyan/yellow and green/pink) anaglyph type glasses that we've all seen before that give a 3d effect. So even if you don't have a spangly new 3D Ready TV yet, you can still get in on the action so to speak!
Also the tech was very much developed alongside the game - marrying the two together just sort of happened and we definately didn't spend less time polishing the game in order to add it

Will this make 3D games ala Wolfenstein, Crysis yadda-yadda more immersive? Or will we see a GOTY Edition of LBP in "3D"?
This idea works for films because it's passive entertainment. Games? Hmm... I'll pass thanks.

Always nice to see developers respond to comments about their games. You've pretty much addressed my concerns, looking forward to trying the game out next month.
