A firmware update that will give the Ps3 ‘Full’ 3D capabilities will launch on June 10th according to comments from Sony via Reuters.
“The maker of the PlayStation 3 game console plans to release 3D game software around June in time for TV launch”
The update will coincide with the launch of Sony’s 3D TV range which they hope will rival Samsung, the update will allow PS3 consoles to be able to display compatible Blu-Ray fulsm in 3D as well as Sony’s upcoming 3D range of games, users will need a compatible TV (Which apparently arrive in the UK in June, Convenient.) but we’re guessing Sony will only be to happy to supply you with one of those as well as a pair of 3D specs which you will also require.
To date Ubisoft’s Avatar is the only game to offer a 3D mode, though the upcoming Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition will also offer a limited selection of 3D levels but if the whole 3D hullabaloo kicks up again expect many new 3D capable titles to be on the shelf this holiday.
UPDATE: Reader Guy 3DTV dug up some information and it looks like the upcoming Batman title will not be in 3D. Check the comments section for more details!
Thanks, Guy 3DTV!
Batman: Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition won’t be using the new 3D technology because it works with regular TV’s. I looked into it. See…
