Sony finds 3D Cheap and Vita pushed back for US, Europe

ps3dtvSony Computer Entertainment Europe senior development manager Simon Benson has pride in his work. Whilst I'm not a big fan of the work 3D has done, but I am a big fan of the independent spirit when the going gets tough  and Sony has let the 3D flag fly saying how cheap the current technology is.

 

Benson explained the amount of time and effort it takes for the current gen to make 3D games. "It can literally be the render programmer spending a couple of weeks manipulating it. Particularly if a game already has split screen in it, just take that mode of the game and reauthor it to deliver really high quality 3D. So often it's the case of it doesn't even hit the radar of whether we should or shouldn't, it can just be done."

 

Benson talked to Game Industry.biz about how a lot of games currently being developed sometimes cost only "half a per cent of the overhead", whilst 3D may not be the way to go for some companies, I think Sony has a stronghold on the technology.

 

Being pioneers of the technology however, 3D is being campaigned their next handheld is being pushed back a few months missing the Christmas holidays in the Western world. Whilst early reports claimed the Vita might be out by Halloween, a 2012 release is more believable according to the Associated Press. Sony Executive VP Kaz Hirai confirmed the report. I'm just wondering why in 2011, when we have the internet, airmail, games about infidelity and sheep and awesome puzzles, that releasing internationally is such a problem...

fail, lets miss the biggest and best chance to move units, push it back 4 months,and have 8 months of lack luster sales, because everyone just spent there xmas money on thins that were already out.

i mean seriously gears of war 3 was delayed to land near xmas for a reason, all those kids that normally cant afford it can beg for it for xmas and get it, pushing more sales. sony screwed up.

at first i was disappointed with the delay. but its just a few months and i have things to do and maybe when Vita is released on Japan, some stores here on the Philippines might already sell one. but i'd rather wait for the western releases.

that would also give me time what game i want to buy first.

Where the hell does it say that the vita is getting 3D?... This is a poorly written article. Should actually be two articles, one saying that Sony finds 3D inexpensive to implement and another with the Vita push back.

so the vita was pushed back to implement 3d on it? i thought they said 3d didn't matter gameplay wise or is this just sony being sony and copying the 3ds. Mindset of sony "OH snap we got the touch screens on there OMG the 3ds has 3d without glasses now we got to push it back so we can perfect it and not have any competition

I don't think the vita is being pushed back for 3D, it's just poor editing on the post which makes it look that way.

Why else would they push the Vita back, for the lulz?
If I remember correctly, they don't like Lulz.
I believe they might end up using built-in 3D though, as it is becoming the new "in style" thing and would probably boost sales.
I personally don't care for 3D however and find this news saddening seeing as I wanted to get one of these to replace my PSP. :sad:

Really guys? Blame Sony? Yes because they caused the earthquakes in Japan they damaged a ton of their supply and manufacturing facilities...

For them to launch in more countries this year it would require the production of millions of units per country. Do you really think they want to miss the holiday season? They tried to get enough units produced and they fell short. Really no ones fault when natural disasters play a part.

Wow.... Common sense on this site. Very rare to see, but I'm glad it's not extinct.

Right, weren't they slightly hit? I could've promised it was in a different region of Japan but oh well.
