Companies like Sony and Nvidia have been making a case for 3D gaming for some time now, but EA Sports president Peter Moore isn’t quite sold on the tech as of yet. Speaking with CVG, the former Microsoft executive remained unconvinced that a potential tradeoff in visual fidelity for the sake of 3D is worth it to gamers.
“I’ve seen a couple of our games running in 3D [behind closed doors],” Moore confessed. “There are some cool moments, but there is a cost for my development teams to do it. There is a tax on the hardware — you know, you need two cameras. There is a framerate issue.”
“I don’t think gamers want to sacrifice a smooth framerate,” he added. “In other words, games that are current running at 60fps going down to 30 just for 3D.”
