Interestingly enough, Black Ops has decided to make itself available in 3D when it releases on November 9th. It's not really a surprising move, considering Killzone 3 will also be in 3D upon its release. However, if done correctly, it could certainly add an interesting twist to an already extremely popular title.
Here's the Official Press Release:
CALL OF DUTYR: BLACK OPS TO UTILIZE STATE-OF-THE-ART ACTIVE SHUTTER 3D TECHNOLOGY
3D Version of the Most Anticipated Game of the Year Set to Deliver Unprecedented Immersive Action Experience
Santa Monica, CA - October 5, 2010 - In what could become the definitive 3D game experience, Treyarch's Call of DutyR: Black Ops will also be playable in stereoscopic 3D when the game launches at retail outlets worldwide on November 9th. Activision Publishing, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI) today revealed that the game will be compatible with 3D-ready HDTVs and 3D PCs utilizing state-of-the-art active shutter 3D glasses, delivering true depth of field and an unprecedented level of immersion that is perfectly suited for the Call of Duty action experience. Call of Duty: Black Ops will be playable in both 3D and non-3D on the Xbox 360R video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStationR 3 computer entertainment system and WindowsR PC.
"Development of stereoscopic 3D began as an R&D project, but once we saw what the technology brought to the Call of Duty experience, what a great fit and how immersive it was, we knew that we had to develop it for Black Ops. Aiming down the sights of your weapons, flying in helicopters, rappelling down mountains, and moving through highly detailed environments are just some of the awesome experiences you will have in 3D with Black Ops," says Mark Lamia, Studio Head of Treyarch.
"Call of Duty: Black Ops is already the most anticipated entertainment launch of the year, and the addition of a fully playable 3D version will truly take gaming to the next level," said Chris Homeister, senior vice president and general manager of the home entertainment group at Best Buy. "Through our footprint of nearly 1100 retail locations across the country and online, as well as our wide selection of 3D-enabled products, Best Buy is uniquely positioned to bring this exciting experience to life for consumers. We're thrilled to partner with Activision to support this great new chapter in home entertainment." Added Lamia, "we made sure the experience is seamless for gamers to use with a simple menu option to enable stereoscopic 3D or disable it at any time whether playing in the single player campaign, multiplayer or Zombies."
Call of Duty: Black Ops for Windows PC is NVIDIAR 3D VisionR-Ready and supports stereoscopic 3D gaming using 3D Vision active-shutter glasses and NVIDIA GeForce GPUs. For more information, go to www.nvidia.com/get3D.
For Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 system consoles, 3D features require a compatible 3D-ready HD TV. See www.callofduty.com/3d for more information.
