The glasses-free 3D on the 3DS was amazing and it should have become a standard feature on all portable devices.
Fuck you cowards for now full blasting it on every game (unless you are stereoblind, which you probably aren't).

What were some 3DS games with great 3D that you liked?

>>717603305 (OP)
Ocarina of Time 3D

>>717603305 (OP)
Woaah I looked at that picture with red and cyan lenses and it was in 3d!
anyway mario 3d land I think was pretty good.
If you have hacked 3ds, I'd recommend trying virtual boy emulator on it. It's actually pretty good 3d effect

>>717603305 (OP)
The 3d was good, though underutilized. I'd be more happy about the 3ds if the 3d and ds weren't entirely nuked, but that's just standard Nintendo fare

>>717603305 (OP)
Im pissed they got rid of it and that itll never come back because the meme that it was shit already set in by the time they fixed it with the new 3ds. Games on a 3d screen genuinely felt like a generational leap without fucking with VR headsets or 3d glasses.
Bravely default was the best looking game in 3d, I remember the monster hunter games looking nice too.

>>717603305 (OP)
It's surprising that Nintendo was the one to use such a cutting edge technology. Though the original model's specs were so bad, it should've been 800mhz at launch

>>717603305 (OP)
It fucked up my sight through the years.

>>717605679
how?

>>717605302
There's been a few glasses-free 3D phones, but the biggest problem is that there is just no 3D content.

>>717605782
If TVs had glasses-free 3D there would be so much content, too bad it died before they could figure it out, hope it makes a comeback.

>>717605679
No it didn't you just never took the time to get used to it

>>717606042
must have been too hard to do on big displays where people might watch from different angles or something like that

>>717607227
Yeah it was that plus cost. I remember seeing a couple for sale like a decade ago but they were like $5-10k and only supported ~30 degree viewing angle IIRC.
Then there's also just the fact that 24fps video looks like shit in 3D, but everyone is afraid of HFR movies, so a lot of people either don't like or are indifferent to 3D movies which further stagnates adoption; keeping production and research low which prevents cost of 3D from coming down.

>>717608534
I saw an eye tracking solution (like New 3DS) at CES sometime ago, but I don't know how people would feel about having a camera that can tell you're looking at your TV. It would probably be used for advertising. What a gay world.

>>717603305 (OP)
I full blasted it and enjoyed it a lot.
Was excellent in games like Etrian Odyssey IV and Animal Crossing New Leaf.
The only games that didn't do it well were Pokemon, for some reason even only in battles or camera modes the limited use of it caused extreme lag not present in other games.
The 3D also sharpened the low res and colors for some reason.

>>717603305 (OP)
>What were some 3DS games with great 3D that you liked?
Mario & Luigi Dream Team
Bravely Default
A Link Between World
Kirby (triple Deluxe or Planet Robobot)

just a few off the top of my head. I fucking love the 3DS and play that shit daily

>>717603305 (OP)
I'd rather have smell o vision than 3d.

>interested in buying a new 3ds as an upgrade from my OG model

I swear it should be legal to kill people.

>>717611929
Japanese markets are probably your best bet since they're a hell of a lot less expensive and you can change the console region by softmod.

It has stereo cameras so you can take 3d photos, resolution is low but it's fun.
Cross your eyes to view this, but not too long or they'll stay that way.

>>717611737
I can see why

>>717603305 (OP)
Basically every early 3DS game was on-point for stereo.
Only had 3D Land when it was the current gen console, but I played Starfox 64 3D multiplayer and that was also pretty damn good with its 3D. SEGA 3D Classics Collection was also solid as the flat layering of sprites is fairly difficult to fuck up.
Still livid about Pokémon being shitty about not doing 3D and in general as the console went along fewer and fewer games even bothered to set up the stereoscopy properly. By the end of the console's life most games looked like flat ass in 3D.
Still want to get a 'New' 3DS, not the shitty XL, because the homebrew scene with the 3D is something that looks like a ton of fun. Only had a launch console, getting a console at launch being a mistake I'm never making again.

>>717603305 (OP)
Resident Evil Revelations has Jill's glorious ass in 3D

>>717612826
Are there any commercial 3D cameras out there or was the 3DS a one of a kind?

>>717613509
*Only had 3D Land as far as early 3DS games. Had plenty of 'em later in its lifespan.

>>717603305 (OP)
Unfortunaletly (?) the N64 remakes like OOT, MM and Starfox 64 had the best 3D effect
It's like for ever future 1st party title they decided to chicken out and make the 3D less pronounced to not get complaints

>>717613509
I have a New 3DS XL and the eye tracking was so good until the cameras suddenly stopped working :"(

>>717613509
There's people who are making cheat codes to improve the 3D depth.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/better-stereoscopic-3d-patches-cheat-codes-releases-development-and-discussion.625945/

>>717613610
not him but fujifilm had some point and shoots like the w3, an iphone 15 or 16 pro can shoot "spatial video", and canon has various lenses for certain cameras.

>>717606042
Passive 3D was fine, the glasses were lightweight, very cheap and TVs came with 5 pairs of them. The only problem is that in order to display 3D vertical resolution had to be halved, that and it was a tech exclusive to LG TVs so if you bought any other brand you had these horrible glasses that gave you headaches and ghosting up the ass.
With 8k displays it would be possible to have a proper 4k image and with how big TVs have gotten it would look amazing. The only caveat is that it would have to be downgraded to miniLED/VA because OLED has terrible grey uniformity.

>>717603305 (OP)
Star Fox 3d was nice, ALBTW I played it years ago on an emulator, some parts of it really benefit from the 3d effect.

>>717606042
the current tech requires knowing exactly where the user's eyes are, with a couchful of people it would be impossible.

>>717613785
Yeah there were like a handful of reports on 3D causing headaches, so Nintendo muted the effect after maybe a year.
Kid Icarus, RE Revelations, DOA Dimensions, the Genesis releases and Star Fox looked incredible with the 3D on full blast.

>>717614260
Active shutter glasses and a plasma, not lcd, screen, has little or no ghosting, full resolution, great, not horrible at all.

>>717614508
Why make the experience worse for everyone because a few couldn't adjust a slider?

>>717605080
It's sort of back. In the form of a 27" 4k Samsung 3d Monitor. for $2000

>>717613337
imagine the taste

>>717612826
the 3ds camera is low resolution, but you can get 3d photos from elsewhere, put them on the memory card and view them on the 3ds screen.

>>717603305 (OP)
>Remember jerking off to a bunch of 3d porn some gentlemen made
I have been debating figured NG out whatever software that guy used since he said it's super quick and easy and buying a display. The idea of a full monitor with 3d hentai is just too fucking good to not have even if the screens are 2k

>>717615890
Fuck, that sounds like a great idea, if you're making sloppa there are extensions to make a 3D map of your gen and directly convert the image to either a 3D compatible format or save as side by side .png easy way to goon yourself to death

>>717605782
>>717606042
3D TV/Displays mostly died for the same reason VR has where they market it as a full on replacement for standard displays and don't really invest in getting media producers to offer functionality for them.
This kinda sucks too, since like imo some games are pretty objectively way more fun to play in 3D.
Like when I got my friend to play Sonic Generations in 3D.

>>717613610
This >>717605782 can do full frame 3D 4k pictures and 1080p video, though its sensors are kinda shit.

>>717615278
Which is never going to take off and will immediately die because its too expensive, too niche and so will get no content. If you're going to spend 2k on that you might as well buy a VR headset, at least you'll have shit to play. Someone like nintendo leveraging the tech was the ideal scenario, I'm still waiting for them to save VR too.

>>717614260
>The only problem is that in order to display 3D vertical resolution had to be halved,
This is slightly less of a problem these days, as you for movies anyway, you can't even buy UHD-3D discs because the retards making the spec didn't have provisions for 4K 3D (or 48fps / 60fps 4K either), so you're stuck at 1080p for 3D-BD anyway. Meaning, on a passive 4K display you're not loosing any information there.
For PC games (Lol, lmao even for 3D with current gen consoles) in 3D this is still a downside, but honestly full 1080p in stereo isn't too awful.
>>717616256
>mostly died for the same reason VR has
Wat? VR is alive and well, just in an awkward state halfway between the PC enthusiast + sim equipment it was always destined to be, and being dragged into a general standalone "Smart"phone console like experience, with absolutely 1000% of all the cancer that entails, because of Facebook.

I am incapable of seeing 3D (I only have one eye) so I'm glad VR / 3D died.

>>717616752
God imagine UE5 slop in 3D, gotta be vomit inducing

>>717616752
I don't want to be an asshole, mostly cause I have a VRheadset too, but the VR scene is just completely fucked. Dedicated software never really progressed past alyx and while there is middleware for injection, it's kind of a fucking mess.

>>717612826

>>717616908
t.

>>717617097
If you only count dedicated VR games as being 'real', then yeah as far as high profile AAA shit being made for it, VR's been fucked for a while.
But, even if Facebook hadn't fucked everything up, that was never a realistic expectation to have. It was always inevitably going to fall to being up to hobbyists injecting VR support into normally flatscreen games, building on top of the already existing 3D enthusiast efforts to make flatscreen 3D work, with the occasional dedicated game and shit like VRChat popping up to make full dedicated use of the hardware.
Which from that standpoint, given the options for VR hardware we have now at all sorts of price points (even ignoring Facebook and other standalone shit and just focus on the used market for old hardware), VR's been doing absolutely fantastic, relatively speaking.

>>717617706
See like this is what I'm talking about. I brought up injecting it into other applications and you didn't at all register that it was mentioned.
You're recommending VRchat which nuked itself for nft fuckers like 6 years ago.

>>717617706
VR sucks because no one wants to have a dedicated empty room to play waggling games with a scuba mask on.

>>717618189
>glass table
this guy was too stupid to live

>>717617972
I did register, I was making a point that was what it was always inevitably going to be, and as such it's as much of a success as it was ever going to be because of such things happening. Corpo types dumping millions of dollars into AAA releases isn't the end-all-be-all marker of success.
And you're thinking of NeosVR that fucked themselves with crypto bullshit and was entirely replaced with Resonite when its programmer walked away with basically the entire game along with its userbase.
Also good god no I'm not recommending VRChat, only that it's the kind of game that would naturally result in making the most of the hardware in lieu of le high profile AAA releases.

>>717603305 (OP)
>Fuck you cowards for now full blasting it on every game
based. i finally got a 3DS in May and i'm a big believer in the 3D. i leave it on in pretty much every game. not sure why people hate it so much
and before you say i just didn't get tired of it yet, i finished close to 10 jrpg's since i got the thing

>>717603305 (OP)
>turn on 3d in street fighter 4
>framerate massively drops

>>717603305 (OP)
Does anyone still have the 3D hentai pics that used to get posted?

>>717618189
I play seated at my PC. Don't need a dedicated room.
>VR sucks
You've obviously never experienced VR

>>717603305 (OP)
A Link Between Worlds is the only game I'd never play in 2D

>>717616957
Silent Hill 2 Remake looks incredible in VR

>>717603305 (OP)
Kot

>>717617097
I think valve already makes more yearly revenue than nintendo, If they really want to push VR they have to realise its a software issue not a hardware one and they are the only company with the resources and the talent to make it happen. Valve should have a game development empire backing its initiatives, they could easily be funding a dozen AAA VR devs
