Bigpoint brings stereoscopic 3D action to browser games

(Excerpt) Developed in-house at studios in San Francisco and Hamburg, Bigpoint’s first titles to support 3D technology are the post-apocalyptical action game “Ruined Online” and the high-speed racing adventure “ToonRacer”. In Ruined Online, players can fight epic battles before the breathtaking backdrop of the Golden Gate Bridge, while gamers in ToonRacer can heat up the racecourse in action-packed 3D races. Just like in 3D movies, the impressive sense of depth created by stereoscopic 3D technology will pull players in and make them feel like they’re part of the action.

Both the Unity3D engine Bigpoint used to develop these two titles as well as their in-house-developed Nebula engine allow for 3D browser-game graphics. The games will communicate directly with the PC graphic card and no additional software will be necessary. Players will be able to immerse themselves in the game’s stereoscopic 3D realm immediately, provided they have all the necessary equipment: a 3D monitor, graphic card and LC shutter glasses (Costs: approx £400 depending on manufacturers).
