The Future of 3D Gaming

Zukan · #1 11-24-2010, 01:20 PM

I made mention of a 3D summit panel a while ago which Lorne would be attending called "The Future of 3D Gaming". The entire discussion has been uploaded onto youtube now which can be seen here:

Part 1
Part 2

Lorne talks about how the current 3D trend is ultimately making way for augmented reality, where their social networking platform might fit into it and lots more...

Same here; the "coming soon" thing really mean nothing

I don't like the whole idea of 3D. Gaming should stay where it is for a while, take a breather. Also, purely out of interest- why does Lorne get invited to these things? I mean of course he's good at them, but he hasn't released a game for over 5 years. Why do important gaming people still think of him?

Because he's fucking suave.

I'd do Lorne.

Back on the topic of 3D gaming, virtual reality and so on please...

You mean Augmented Reality. That's a way a lot of companies (mainly advertisers) are going.
Will be amazing when it becomes popular and more main stream down the gaming line.

On the topic of Oddworld, I would love to see a fusion of 2D and 3D, similar to Little Big Plant (Lacking a technical term), Oddworld (With the exeption of SW) hasn't been the same in 3D.

So you'd like a sidescroller, possibly featuring Abe, made in 3D?

AlexFili · #12 11-30-2010, 01:42 AM

You'd be able to hug Abe (or Alf)!

Yes I'd find that suiting for Oddworld, Keeping the fans from the start and also the first timers happy.

Then the real question would be "how many dimensions would it have?"

***Nate*** · #15 11-30-2010, 11:33 PM

I can see what you're doing, Phylum. Don't even try.

***Xavier*** · #16 11-30-2010, 11:35 PM

oh no, not this discussion again... I meant like the new Donkey Kong.

So did I, I think that would be best.
