As to its strength, the other month I tested out an ancient 3D DLP projector by using it to project this game onto the ceiling and its 3D at just the title screen rivaled in strength the best of what Bronze Age 3D I've seen theatrically. |

On my 3DTV, when I tested it years ago, the real D 3D glasses weren't able to eliminate ALL light from entering the other side that was supposed to be filtered completely out from being seen, and because the bright neon glowing lines are set against black backgrounds, that extreme contrast lets the viewer see ghosting of the eye that should be blocking that light out. A limitation of the technology of 3D glasses. I'll test it out on my 3D projector and use my DLP 3D glasses, which eliminate ghosting really well. Thanks. |

Slap a SSD in the ole PS3 if you're feeling for a snappier experience and give it a go someday. I hear there is an adapter to use PS4 controller on PS3 with full support, for something to maybe look into for quality of life improvement. Although, the PS4 seems to brighten up and possibly enhance the 3D effect for me on some 3D blus, vs my Panasonic player (which is older than my PS3), so I wonder if maybe Tron Legacy would look more 3D to me on a PlayStation. |

With PSVR1 and PSVR2, nowhere in the advertising from Sony does it ever mention the words "Stereo 3D visuals". Sony proudly calls stereo audio "3D Audio" but that's the most they ever mention 3D from what I've seen. Awful marketing by Sony, because the stereo 3D is a huge feature of VR gaming and yet Sony ignores it. I had to do research for PSVR1 to learn it was in fact a stereo 3D gaming device. At least that utilized the PSVR's 3D ability through PS4. PS5 is stronger, but still has to compromise graphics for PSVR2 from what I saw. I haven't gotten it yet; waiting for a big sale price and a lot more must play games. So far, I see mostly FPS games. A few good ones in there. |

Honestly, I think Sony and others think that 3D is a bit of a dirty word; they don't want their headsets to be associated with the failure of 3D TVs. Stereo 3D gaming is so much better in VR than those old stereo 3D games on a TV (I tried Uncharted 3 but wasn't won over by the tech back then). Speaking as someone whose head's been inside a PSVR2 for the last couple of months, it's something I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. The games look absolutely fantastic and there are plenty of good ones already. Currently playing Galaxy's Edge and, as ever, it's the sense of scale that's so overwhelming: I've said it before, but even if you hooked up a games machine to an IMAX screen and sat in the front row, the game world wouldn't feel as big as it does in VR. Perhaps it's just my personal perception, but I find the stereo 3D views in VR to generally be more impressive from a 3D point of view than in almost every 3D film ever made: For me, the 3D in VR tends to make a bit of a mockery of the 3D in 3D movies. Anyway, all of that brings me back to Tron Legacy in 3D. Actually, no it doesn't: I'm not sure anything could bring me back to watch that depressingly poor 3D offering again. Then again, a Tron game in VR, now that could be epic, and a chance to finally see that world with all of its beautiful stereoscopic potential finally fully realised. |

Trine (older PC platformer-type game) in 3D is stunning on a 3D TV. Absolutely jaw-dropping depth and gorgeous colors and visuals. Even with Nvidia's newer drivers that dropped 3D support, the game has an option to output SBS 3D which any 3D TV can recognize, with no 3D video driver needed.

I've dabbled in 3D gaming and it's quite fun, but for everyday it can be cumbersome. Gaming sessions usually last much longer than a movie, and even seasoned 3D viewers cannot use active 3D glasses that long without getting a headache. Also, because processing power is limited, some other visual element must be sacrificed in order to render two camera views (usually the framerate is halved). Still, it's impressive that a console from 10-15 years ago could do frame-packed stereoscopic 3D at 720p. |

I'd love to see a VR Tron Evolution style game, but sadly this studio was dissolved after this game's release and disappointing sales figures for the distributor in charge. But yes, the VR stereo 3D is usually strong 3D, which is awesome. With Skyrim 3D on PSVR1 however, because the 3D is probably stronger than human eyes normally see, I think that could explain the "miniature" scaled humans in that game, who seem to be tiny compared to the size they should really be. A matter of the interaxial distance of the game's stereo 3D camera rig to view the world. If we could adjust it, we'd be able to get those characters in proper real-life scale for a better effect when talking or fighting IMO. I need to finish some PSVR1 games, but I'm waiting for more must-play games to arrive on PSVR2 and a price drop too from the hefty $599 range. Quote:

Silent Hill Downpour 3D is not too bad, but mild to medium 3D. If your 3DTV supports side by side 3D, Avatar the game on PS3 has very strong 3D, at the cost of lower resolution due to the side/side 3D split screen effect. Test Drive Unlimited 2 on PS3 is great for 3D too if you like driving. On topic, I'll try to test out Tron Evolution tonight on my 3D projector to see how it holds up. |

Interesting point about Skyrim. Do some VR games have an adjustable depth slider? I know the Nintendo 3DS did (and I have a feeling that some people still think that the “3D Strength” setting on their TV is doing the same thing). Back on topic. Actually, I’m not sure I can get back on topic. I’ve been banging on about how massively over-rated Tron Legacy’s 3D is since the day it came out and have totally run out of things to say about it. (In truth, I probably ran out of things to say about it ten years ago - but carried on doing it anyway..!) On a positive note, I do think its music is excellent. I'm sure I'm being thick but, apologies, I don't understand your question..? |

Seems to me that this would really enhance the 3D effect, so I'm curious how VR's 3D stacks up if you look at it without moving your head. Joining your attempt to get back on topic, I see my Tron Legacy lenticular in my display rack and I again have to wonder: does TL's case have stronger 3D than the film itself? |

Glad to hear GT7 VR and RE8 VR both are easy on the sense of balance in the ears/brain while in PSVR2. RE 8 I bet is really cool to explore, looking at everything in strong stereo 3D. RE7, I was fine for most of it but the evil father in the garage with the car, I couldn't complete it in VR and had to finish that boss fight in 2D mode to avoid sickness. I did hear PSVR2 somehow might be able to counter motion sickness with some features, including haptics in the headset itself. For all games sadly on PSVR1, there wasn't a slider to change the interaxial distance between each camera of the game's stereo 3D rig. So whatever they have it set at for the distance apart, usually results in strong 3D most times, but too strong for normal human eyes in a game like Skyrim, resulting in miniaturized humans out of scale. Almost like a Tiger or Lion seeing in 3D, looking at a human. Those big cats with eyes much further apart than any humans. I bet they have very strong 3D vision. On topic, Tron Legacy, I saw 3 times in theaters as a big fan of Tron's visuals and style, and very much enjoyed Tron 2. Except for the 3D sadly, I agree. I was thinking when Sam entered the Grid, "Okay, hopefully this isn't the switch to 3D, because this almost looks 2D still." |

Since there is very little separation between both eye views the 3D effect is mild on the Tron Legacy 3D GIF. Look at the below GIF on the bottom of my post to see how it should look with Strong 3D. Quote:

EDIT: This is not a complaint, just a fun observation: I think you may have placed her left foot a little too far in front of the couch, so it looks like it's propped up in free space! (It's still a vastly superior to view to how it looked in the film though.) Last edited by Telegram Sam; 09-02-2025 at 11:07 AM. |
