Dear Unknownworld!

Nowadays many games are supporting the 3D SBS technology, and in my opinion the NS2 can become more enjoyable in 3D. Please, think over my suggestion and tell us what do you think about this. Thank you!

    This 3D format, commonly used in 3D broadcasting, works by halving the horizontal resolution of videos to store left and right eye images in each frame. It effectively displays up to 960 x 1,080-pixel pictures to each eye, enabling TV stations to telecast 3D content at a much lower bandwidth compared with 3D Blu-ray discs. Typical supported resolutions are limited to 720p and 1080i for 3D TV programs.

    Users will need to manually select the correct 3D format to properly display side-by-side 3D content on a 3D TV.

    Pros:
    1. One of the two ways free 3D content is transmitted
    2. 720p and 1080i compatible
    3. Most common 3D broadcasting format

    Cons:
    1. Halves the horizontal resolution for each eye resulting in softer visuals
    2. Slightly higher resolution than DVDs at 720p
    3. Have to manually configure TV to display side-by-side 3D

    Performance is bad enough already, rendering 2 scenes at once will likely kill your framerate, even if NS2 was eventually optimized for 3D. Unless you have a Rift, enjoy crossing your eyes to play a video game. Definitely not worth the man-hours for UWE imo.

    Maybe yes, maybe no :) If you have a stronger video card, you can test and debug it. The most games in 3D produce lower FPS, that's a known and
    accompanying problem.
