She said, “I think a studio of our size could think of an amazing experience that would use that technology in a meaningful way, but I don’t want it to be another checkbox.”

Hocking agreed: “it must add to the experience… It won’t be that all games suit 3D.” However, he said “High quality 3D does really work very well.”

Yoshida extrapolated the idea of 3D further: “I think what people want is the whole graphic display, so your character can stand up and talk to you and you can chat.” Hocking said holographic games are “definitely feasible” in the next 10 years.
