Ok, so I realize that not everyone has embraced 3D gaming, and lots of people simply don't have the machine or the monitor for it to be practical. I also realize that in many cases it can be tricky with a shooter. However, for those of you like me who have fallen for the immersion that 3D gaming provides and have a rig to support it, I bring good news (to those that haven't already heard). On a whim I checked today to see if Nvidia had any plans for Planetside 2, especially as far as 3D support goes, and was pleased to find the following.

Technologically, Planetside 2 is not only a massive step up from Planetside, but it is also one of the finest-looking shooters on the PC, as the impressive videos and screenshots attest. Furthermore, a number of yet-to-be-revealed GPU-accelerated PhysX effects add greatly to the spectacle, and for those with 3D systems, Planetside 2 will launch with full NVIDIA 3D Vision support.

For those that don't know, 3D gaming requires a 120hz monitor, which allows for 120fps. I'm no tech expert, but I can tell you it also calls for a pretty serious system in order to pull a max 60fps (that is 60fps x 60fps side by side = 120fps).
For example, I have an i5 2500k sandy bridge, dual GTX 560Ti, and an Asus VG278H 27 inch monitor. I run Skyrim on Ultra settings with 25% depth and high convergence, and pull around 55-60fps.
I can't wait to see what PS2 will be like, considering Nvidia has already announced its plans to include 3d support on launch. As always, it will take time (and most likely a few driver releases) before it is perfected, but knowing they plan to address it immediately is a great sign.
So I ask...who loves 3D gaming and is planning to play PS2 in 3D?
<--This guy for sure.
