Has anyone read All Star Batman & Robin, where Batman reveals he spent his childhood in a cave eating raw rats to prepare to become the Batman? Ellie's like that - she spends all year reviewing Barbie games for the Wii to prepare for hilarious and insightful articles come E3.

Ellie I love you.
I'm actually quite excited about Avatar - both the game and the movie. I thought I wouldn't be but Cameron seems to be delivering on it. |

Whens this game out then? beacuse it does seems a little silly to put it all that effort & keep banging on about it being 3D if its only going to work on tellies hardly anyone can afford? I (& im sure a lot of other people) upgraded to 1080p 12 months ago & im not looking for a new telly for at least another 5 years.

I haven't had a HD telly for long, buggered if I'm shelling out for a new telly any time in the next 5 years.
Not until 3D pr0n at any rate |

Also, I thought only the super-expensive 120Hz monitors and tellies could actually do polarised 3D. NVIDIA certainly seems to think so. I'm not shelling out £400 for a new monitor and some fancy shades when I have a perfectly good monitor and some nice shades already.

@ Tomo
As far as I'm aware this the most information that's ever been released about the plot. Empire magazine had an on-set interview with Cameron last month and he didn't go into nearly this much detail. |

DLP can switch very fast and thus display 120hz quite easily - hence almost all DLP sets supporting 120hz. Many of the new-ish projectors also support it. LCD & Plasma are starting to support - the difficulty has been image quality with less than 2ms response time - anyone with an old plasma (Panasonics were very bad) had phosphur trails. |

Yeah but I was wondering why you'd need 120Hz, 3D films using polarized glasses have been made since the 30s, and surely these projectors weren't 120Hz.
But apparently it's hard to reconstruct on a television as some polarization is lost. Still I think it's a better system than shutterglasses. Well according to this article at least http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news... |

I think this game uses the shutter glasses (hence the batteries). For shutter glasses, you display one image to one eye then the next to the other, so if you want a '60fps' game you actually need to be able to output your game at 120fps / Hz.
If this is on console, it's very unlikely that this game is going to be running at 120fps. Still quite unusual for 3D games to run at 60 tbh, so it's quite possible this demo was shown running at 30, which would have been 15fps for each eye which would partly explain the discomfort when watching it. |
