Playing the game based on Terminator and Titanic director James Cameron’s next big thing, Avatar, in full 3D sure sounded like a neat idea. After all, the movie itself is being shot to take advantage of the growing number of digital 3D cinemas popping up across the globe. Leave it to Ubisoft prez Yves Guillemot to get us all un-jazzed by revealing to GamesIndustry.biz that the game will only be playable in 3D on certain HDTVs.
According to Guillemot, the technology used to 3D-ify Ubi’s Avatar game has been designed only for “a specific TV” and glasses that work with it. He goes on to say that the display is already available in the US. Could these TVs and these glasses be what he’s referring to?
So … no new TV, no Avatar 3D. Bummer. Though Guillemot has confirmed that the game will be playable in one less “D” on that nice, big old style HDTV you just spent your economic stimulus check on.
