3D TV and 3D YouTube Coming To PS3


Mick Hocking, head of 3D games at Sony Worldwide Studios, shared some valuable information on the future of 3D on the PlayStation 3.

"So you'll see 3D games in the next 12 months, you'll see Blu-ray movies in 3D, and as soon as the broadcasts start through our PlayTV services, you're going to watch 3D content [via that].

"YouTube will be supporting 3D content over the next 12 months as well - and you'll be able to watch that on the PlayStation 3. And as you start taking 3D pictures of your family or 3D camcorder movies, you can play those back on PS3, too."

So what we can pull from those two quotes are that YouTube will enable 3D videos in the near future and they will be viewable on the PlayStation 3. Also, 3D games, movies, and even television are incoming. This is the big push for 3D, let's see if it succeeds.

SOCOM 4 Announced




Zipper Interactive's SOCOM series will have a sequel. According to Sony, their "surprise sequel" announcement is related to SOCOM 4.



SOCOM 4, the latest addition to the SOCOM series, will take place in South East Asia. In this place is where "a revolutionary army has seized control of a country bordering one of the world's most vital waterways; threatening to disrupt the global economy," according to the European PlayStation Blog.

    "Your mission is to step into the well-worn boots of the Ops Com, a NATO Operations Commander of an elite, five-man squad. You must venture deep into inhospitable jungles, city streets and crumbling urban ruins to engage an army of rebel fighters and discover their plans.
"Although you're vastly outnumbered, you're armed with the latest weaponry and your men are second to none – but do you possess the stealth, speed and tactical thinking to lead them to victory? Time is not on your side: you have just six days to complete your mission. To emerge victorious, you must lead from the front, maintain control of the situation and fight with sheer intensity."
The first trailer will be shown on GameTrailers TV tomorrow morning. No date has yet been confirmed.

What about Killzone 3 in 3D by Christmas? That's what we're hearing here at GiantGamer tonight.



From over at VG247, a massive rumor regarding Sony's graphically inclined shooter series Killzone has been unleashed to the internet. The sequel to the highly successful Killzone 2 for the PlayStation 3 may be available for play in your house by this Christmas. Excited? We know it.
