Well if it says it works with GW and EoTN, it works for all, lots of companies get the games mixed up into different games when it is all just one game. Dunno.... but this would be really cool...lol

I think you misunderstand how the glasses work. What it essentially is, from what i've read, is those blue/red 3d-glasses you used to get with magazines to see 3d-pictures but less crap =P. You'll see the same stuff on your screen but the screen will appear to have more depth, it will look more 3-d, more real.

There's been quite a few articles written about the glasses, I remember reading one and the author saying that a lot of games don't really have much difference, there are noticable changes but nothing drastic. He did mention that some games where quite wonderful and the 3-d demo Nvidia gave blew him away.

It will hurt my eyes alot especially when my screen is close up shot of RoJ's pillar of lights...

You also need a certain Series of nividia graphic card for it to work. (they listed a bunch)

I think new egg has these for 199.99

snaek · Apr 08, 2009, 06:19 PM // 18:19

yes it will work. how effective is it for gw specifically, im not sure.

if you guys are unfamiliar with what the "3d" actually implies, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereoscopy.

if you know how to do those cross-eye 3d images, its very similar. heres an example of a cross-eyed 3d image you can see in 3d without using glasses: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:1080par.jpg

"Special", in this context, meaning "astoundingly expensive."

I have played GW in 3D at my cousins house on his LCD monitor and it was great. But you have to be willing to sit in front of your screen with those ever so lovely 3D glasses and it also takes a little getting used to.

Evil Eye · Apr 08, 2009, 11:13 PM // 23:13

looks dumb guys
