advance, and from that, developers can keep making games so that should glasses-free 3DTV ever arrive, today's games can run on the
FIFA Coins format. Importance
Of StandardizationBenson believes that with time, 3D will inevitably become
standard. "If people just bought an HDTV, they'll be hesitant. But when that TV
breaks down, they'll
to a new TV, and it'll likely be 3D-ready. The cost of
RO Imperial Coins glasses and standard tech will come down in the next five years. They'll have a vast array of games
to enjoy in 3D, because we're establishing the content now." AMD's Nalasco
believes that cost, content and accessibility are key to adoption. "We need to
lower the barrier of entry for the consumer...When you bought an HDTV, there
wasn't a lot of content. [Consumers] were being asked to buy TVs that made their
existing content
worse." he said. "When you can buy something that looks as good as a 3DTV in HD, people will be interested in your TV because it offers a feature set that is
a bonus," he claimed. "Even content that isn't created in 3D can be converted.
Having the middleware in place allows them to try games in 3D, even if it's not
necessarily as good-looking as games designed natively in 3D. Low-cost solutions
like middleware, and driving cost of hardware down will be key." Naughty
Engstad added, "We're still learning [this new format] but we've already gotten very far and we can already tell people 'hey, look at this in 3D, and
you'll see why this is so much better. It's not that hard; a lot of devs can do
it. It's here to stay, it'll be great for gaming in general." Nikolai was more
succinct: "I bought a 3D TV after working on
