Sony Focuses On Releasing Games In 3D In The Future



According to head of Sony's UK Playstation division, Ray Maguire, the majority of the company's first-party games will be in 3D in the future, as the technology seems to become popular in the mainstream. The comment was made in a recent interview with CVG. The first of the 3D PS3 games were released today on the PSN network and include games such as Wipeout HD and SuperStarDust HD, both of which have been retrofitted with 3D technology. However, Maguire mentioned that Sony's attention will soon turn to its more popular franchises such as the Killzone series. The first confirmed 3D title Sony plans to release is Killzone 3 (set to release in 2011) which will be shown off at E3 2010 next week. You can watch a video trailer of the game below:


The studio plans to expand their interest in 3D gaming to other series as well such as God of War. When asked about further development of 3D gaming, Maguire said the following: "In time, yes. I think when you get to 2014 and beyond the majority of games will be 3D. You will be able to have backwards compatibility with 2D - as opposed to 3D being the exception." Sony also suggested that they expect 40% of households to have adopted a 3D TV by 2014. What are your thoughts on the whole direction Sony plans to take? Are you as excited as we are?
