Sony definitely had a pretty decent showing at E3 this year, showcasing some great upcoming games and features. However, one thing they really tried to highlight was their implementation of 3D technology into games being released as early as of the end of this year. It feels far too early to be pushing this tech though as 3D in the home entertainment center is not nearly popular enough as of yet to really justify a marketing push like this. While it is a neat concept, it’s too impractical as of right now for many as such a feature requires a television that supports 3D, which are currently very new and quite pricey. For the general public it’s just not feasible right now. To really get the audience at E3 excited for it, they did show a trailer for the upcoming Killzone 3 game.
Unfortunately the trailer lacks any real punch, much like the rest of the series. It’s baffling as to why Sony keeps trying to market Killzone 3 so hard when they have much stronger franchises that would have probably showed off the tech much better and actually enticed the audience. On the whole though, 3D is a neat idea that really just seems unnecessary at the moment and it’s unlikely that too many people will be rushing out to get brand new TVs just for this anytime soon.
