Sly 3 goes 3D (glasses)

I always think that posting news here will result in some old person's picture in my thread, but here we go:

IGN said:
When Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves was announced alongside Jak X: Combat Racing and Ratchet: Deadlocked we figured that this would be another adventure very much in line with last year's Sly 2: Band of Thieves. With just one year of development time there couldn't be any big, big news, right? Well, this turned out not to be the case because the Sucker Punch development team is bringing us Sly in three dimensions this time. So get your red and blue glasses ready and watch this platformer acquire an all-new sense of depth.

The immediate effect of a game in 3D is obvious. It looks cool to see a game pop off the screen and with the style of the Sly Cooper games already being cartoonish, this is an easy fit. But it also won't be something that will overwhelm the game either. Sly 3 will feature specific missions that are designed for the 3D glasses that will come with the game. These glasses will help players get a cool view as Sly navigates through invisible lasers, decrypts puzzles, and uses his power-ups. As the game gets closer to completion, more missions and mini-games will have the 3D option designed for them.

Instead of just a little gimmick of seeing a game in three dimensions with lots of pieces flying towards the viewer, this feature will help players out as well. Dodging lasers will be easier with some depth perception. For the collectors out there, there will be some objects that can only be attained in the 3D mode. Of course, there will also be levels that will be designed with 3D in mind just to provide a fun and unique experience.

I'm a little disappointed, honestly...Rad Racer was enough to convince me that 3D glasses add nothing to gaming, not with that level of technology. I'm sure improvements have been made since then, but just wearing the glasses in itself is annoying. It could be enjoyable in a cheesy way if used in small doses, I guess.

REVOLUTION!!!

OMG, Sony is now preemptively ripping off Nintendo!

Imagine this scene: Reggie is closing up his speech at E3. "And now to introduce the Nintendo Revolution, please give a warm welcome to..." following by Miyamoto walking out on stage wearing a pair of red/blue glasses and a power glove. The forum could not survive.
 
Hahahaha.

HAHAHAHAH
 
Does this mean they will take the Revolution back to the drawing board AGAIN?

And who cares if it's 3D? IT'S SLY COOPER. Haters need to play the game before bashing the series.

oh, I'm not hating. I just think it's hilarious. It IS Sly Cooper. Sly fucking owns. But come on, wearing cheesy 3D glasses is sooo 80s. I love it, actually, but it's so fucking funny.
 
i cant remember its been so long, but is it the red/blue lensed 3D glasses that give you the killer headache or the grey toned ones?

as long as you can turn the 3d off i'll be getting it.
 
Sly Cooper is such an awesome series. I loved the first one, and the second was even better.

The idea of the 3-D glasses makes me question their sanity, but at least it sounds like it will be a minor part of the game (just a few levels/puzzles and some secrets).
 
I think it's a cool idea as long as you can turn off the 3-d effects (If you don't feel like playing it in 3-d)

Dude, come on. I like Sly Cooper too, but...this is ridiculous. Hopefully it's just some cheesy fun on the side and we can still enjoy a regular Sly game.
 
Do they have to use the red/blue,
why not the other method?
 
I enjoyed the Sly games as well - but I can't get excited about this. Every time I tried to use 3D glasses - whether it's those cheesy red-blue theater glasses or some other type - it's never worked right for me.

I'll just play the game without them.
 
Fuck glasses. I already got them and I don't want anymore.

That's because they suck.

ALL OF THEM.

I shouldn't have to wear glasses. Ever. Fuck glasses, I'll wait for holograms.
 
It's a gimmick, but it sounds like it'll be fun anyway. From the preview, it also seems like it's only used for a few portions of the game, and that most of the game will be played without the glasses. I did notice that they are planning to include objects that will require the use of the glasses.

Sony has a stereoscopic headset out in Japan.

It would be neat if they somehow implemented support for this device as an alternative to the red/blue tinted glasses.
 
If it would have been Nintendo announcing this for a mario platformer or something, imagine the shit storm that would have erupted. But when its sony/sucker punch everyone is all like "sounds interesting. I'll try it."


Fuck you guys.

What the fuck, are you reading the same God-damned thread? only a few of us are like "It sounds neat, we'll try it." The rest are like "Uh, that is some stupid shit." This EXACT SAME REACTION would occur if it was Mario, albeit it on a grander scale because Mario is more fucking popular. Jesus Christ.

Come out of your dark cave and end the conspiracy theories.

Hey guys, learn to read! K! Some people think it's neat, others don't! Like every single thing, including if it was a Mario game that did it!

Hush now.
 
I started to read those quotes, but then I blacked out for a few minutes.

You're still talking about this? Go outside or something. Its a beautiful day out.

Right right. It's good to see what you're called out and proven wrong then you shuttle into your little shell and try to make lame insinuations.

Seriously though, I can just see you over on your PC putting together the post with all the quotes saying "haha! I have him now!" and getting upset with my initial reply. But god man, who cares? Who really gives a shit about whether the reaction to a Sly game that uses 3D glasses recieves more or less hate than some hypothetical mario games that doesn't even exist? I sure as shit don't, and you shouldn't either. I've just been trolling you for like 4 posts now.

Good good. I'll remember to use the trolling line, when, you know... you are trolling either way.

No kidding.

Plus if it was Nintendo this thread would be on it's 4th or 5th page of bitching....but since it's Sony, "It looks interesting".
 
sounds really cool but sly 2 was terrible. I hope Sly 3 is more like Sly Cooper.
