Gears of War 3 stereoscopic 3D announced

[Excerpts from Eurogamer . net]

Upcoming Xbox 360 exclusive Gears of War 3 includes the option to play in stereoscopic 3D, Epic Games has announced.  …

“It felt like something we wanted to have. It was a feature we didn’t want to be deficient in. When you look at Gears 1, it was what people used to demo HD at the time.  …

A handful of Xbox 360 games have launched under the “stereoscopic 3D” banner, including Crytek’s Crysis 2 and Treyarch’s Call of Duty: Black Ops.  …

…  Meanwhile, Fergusson confirmed Eurogamer’s May story that revealed that full, PlayStation 3 level stereoscopic 3D is coming to the Xbox 360 – in effect a 720p image per eye.

“As you look forward, in the next XDKs [Xbox Development Kit] coming out of the Xbox, it’ll have more support for 3D or more higher quality for native support for 3D,” Fergusson said.

“We’re supporting the current state of the art for Xbox. Moving forward, the Xbox will be able to take it further.”

Fergusson’s comments here suggest full stereo 3D on Xbox 360 will not be enabled until after Gears of War 3’s 20th September launch.
