Disney's G-Force to use off-axis 3D News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

Seeing double the fun.

Disney's upcoming G-Force game will include 3D options.

G-Force, based on an upcoming film about guinea pig spec-ops, will use off-axis 3D with red/blue-lens glasses, Kotaku reports.

Apparently it's a system where - thank f*** for Wikipedia - "the optical axis of the aperture is not coincident with the mechanical centre of the aperture". Makes sense. A toggle will be available through G-Force on both PS3 and 360.

As previously announced, Wii title Toy Story Mania also uses 3D for some of its mini-games.

Why cinemas charge an extra �2 just for you to wear some shitty glasses while watching 3D films I'll never know.

@Eraysor - I agree. They say it's to pay for the extra equipment they need to use 3D, but it's not really. 3D is being pushed to combat piracy in cinemas (you can't record it very well), and this is a sneaky little earner for the cinema.

Would be nice to have at home though. The PS3 already supports 3DTV with one of the recent firmware updates but it'll be nice to see a pseudo-3D on a normal HDTV. I imagine it'll look rather like the Killzone 2 loading screens.

Coloured lenses is the most rubbish form of 3D there is. Not only do you lose a huge cunk of the colour from the image, but unless the filters in the lenses AND the projected images colours are perfect then you quite often see a ghost of the wrong image in the wrong eye.

Ok that's the most pointless addition to a game ever. Wait for circular polarisation TVs and then do 3D!

What about those of us who wear glasses on a daily basis and are completely reliant on them? Are there special glasses made for us?

You can always just put the glasses in front of your own glasses.

@Eraysor & systems

The increased ticket price is to pay for the extra equipment required in the cinema and also to pay for the increased production costs of making the actual film in 3D.
