Batman Arkham City – in 3D!

I’m not much of a 3D person, whether it be movies or games – some work to great effect, but in my experience most do not. I’m not weary of 3D games, as long as it’s not the only way to play the game. I plan to check out the 3D effect, but I fear it may be too distracting overall.

Here’s the presser:

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and DC Entertainment today announced Batman: Arkham City will be playable in stereoscopic and anaglyphic 3D for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and NVIDIA® 3D Vision™ PCs.    Batman: Arkham City is scheduled for release beginning October 18 in North America, October 19 in Australia and October 21 in Europe and other global territories.

Gamers on Xbox 360 and PS3™ can delve deep into Arkham City’s breathtaking environments and immersive gameplay in stereoscopic 3D when playing on any 3D HDTV and wearing active shutter glasses that are compatible with the television.  In addition, Batman: Arkham City supports NVIDIA 3D Vision technology, allowing PC players to also experience the action in stereoscopic 3D on GeForce® GPU-equipped desktop or notebook PCs and compatible 3DTVs.

Fans with HDTVs can enjoy Batman: Arkham City in anaglyphic 3D with technology compatible with all high definition TV sets and visible to players wearing 3D glasses available for the video game.
