Posted September 9, 2013 well it will be the first game i switch 3d off for then! even MGS3D i could bare the non 3d first person it made sense and was not too noticable.......but everything outside of battle in pokemon is none 3d....WOW i'm sorry its just lazy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 9, 2013 That's gutting. I never thought we'd have a first party game not making use of it. Really disappointed. I'm guessing that X/Y is built on top of the DS Pokemon engine so the overworld still has sprites on top of 3D models. Difficult to make into S3D. Nope. None of it is sprite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 9, 2013 That's surely impossible, what with the likes of Resident Evil Revelations and MH3U not having any trouble utilising 3D at all times. Capcom's staff have a LOT more experience with developing 3D games (and with working with modern shader hardware) than Gamefreak though... It's the only explanation that makes even a lick of sense (and even then, it's not much as the game isn't exactly much of a looker outside of battles and that Harmoknight was a pretty damn pretty looking game!) Suppose we'll find out in the Iwata Asks? (meanwhile Zelda ALBW has no trouble running in 60FPS S3D, while also simultaneously looking better than PKMN X&Y's overworld ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 9, 2013 Nope. None of it is sprite Really? I've only watched two trailers (purposefully trying to avoid anything about the game) and I thought the rose bushes in the one city didn't change even though the camera angle did. If it's all made using 3D models I'm not sure why it isn't in 3D. Maybe it really is performance related. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it was a lack of experience in 3D development on Gamefreak's part, Nintendo would've assisted them.No, there has to be some other weird and irrational reason behind the omission of constant S3D in this game. And whatever that may be, it's insane. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 9, 2013 Maybe trying to decipher any logic in what Nintendo & their partners do is a fool's errand? :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 9, 2013 It only features the X and Y planes. so the inevitable third game Z will be fully stereoscopic 3D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 9, 2013 That's really the weirdest decision I've seen a company make in a looooooong time haha! I don't mind too much because I never use S3D, REALLY curious what the thought behind this is.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 9, 2013 Suddenly the 2DS releasing alongside Pokemon X & Y not only makes sense but it actually sounds appealing for anyone just buying the system for only those games. :p Next thing we'll be hearing is that stereo sound is limited to in-battle only.

Posted September 10, 2013 I was on the fence over buying one of these, but leaning towards buying Y, but no support for 3D throughout the whole game, no purchase for me thank you. Love the old S3D. Makes my backlog a lot easier now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2013 Just to clarify I'm still buying it, the 3D battles at least will surely be stunning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 10, 2013 I don't think no field 3D justifies a boycott, but Nintendo should have made this clear as soon as they knew what was happening. At this rate we'll get it briefly mentioned in a Nintendo Direct a week before the game releases. Maybe the lack of field 3D is simply because the game will be played by millions of children and they've already had a lifetime of seizure controversy from the anime series?

Posted September 10, 2013 3D is always on for me, it only ever goes off if i know the battery is low and i can't charge it. @Serebii have we had any official word on why they have done this? i still think its a lazy decision, far better games maintain 3D throughout, and MGS3D is the current worse offender for switching it off for "reasons" and even then its first person aiming for a guy who *spoilers* has only 1 eye, so its easily explainable. No offense to pokemon x/y but they look by no means as performance hungry as the likes of that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 10, 2013 Oh Lord. I'm calling this: NINTENDO to release 3D glasses alongside the NINTENDO 2DS in order to play Pokémon X & Y in 3D. Pokémon X and Y have that ol' school 3D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
