Is 3-D gaming dead?

Dear Tek,

I bought Nvidia's 3D vision 2 kit a while back as well as an Asus VG248 144hz monitor.  I thought the good times were gona start rolling and never quit.  However, the only game I played and enjoyed while using 3D vision 2 was Telltales' The Walking Dead, and The Walking Dead 2.  Nothing interesting has popped on my radar since besides The Wolf Among Us, which I imagine will also play well in 3D.  I know there are many other games out there with 3D support and I've tried a few of them out, but where do you guys see the future of this segment going?

P.S. I drive a BMW similar to the one Logan recently gave away.  I'm curious does he miss it?

i think it was something that people thought was cool and bought then never used.

I think it's dead. but i do believe there's people out there that still use it.

Being blind in one eye ... it was never alive for me     : (

I know the feeling. I have astigmatism, and I have perfect vision in one eye, and I am nearly blind in my other eye, so putting on 3-d glasses and watching something gives me major headaches.

3D is like herpes.  It flares up every now and then over the years to generally annoy the shit out of you, makes you spend money on it, and then goes away for a while.  The 3D fad has been coming and going for decades, and the same thing always happens.  It gets a lot of attention at first, then people realize it's stupid (or at least not important enough to them to spend extra money on), and then it goes away for 20 years (or until movie/TV execs decide they need a new gimmick to increase revenue).  It happened in the 50's, it happened in the 70's/early 80's, and it's happened again recently.

So get ready for the next big 3D revolution in 2030!  And then get ready to be tired of it by 2031, only to have it shoved down your throat for another 3 years before it finally, mercifully, fucks off once more.

Haha, very well put, I enjoyed your analogy.
