The last of us: No 3d support.

Naughty Dog's Last of us will not support 3D it has been confirmed. The news will come as blow to those feared the death of Sony support for thier expensive 3DTV's.

 All the major consumer electric companies have dipped their toes in the murky waters of 3d technology; but up until now, it could be argued that no single entity has gone as far as Sony has in championing the cause. Right from the offset, the company has used its PlayStation brand to promote 3d around the world, in much the same way it used it to promote DVD and Blu-ray before. The Japanese giants have even produced thier own dedicated PlayStation 3D monitor. Since the advent of 3DTV's it has become the norm for high profile Sony releases such as Motorstorm and Gran Turismo to fully support the function. Last year saw Sony release what has arguably become the flagship of mainstream 3D software - Naughty dog's Uncharted 3. Even with a clear drop in reolution; Uncharted 3 was a resounding success in the added depth department and an obvious winner amounst the 3DTV owning community.







With a recent history of outstanding support, especially at trade shows,  it confused many when at E3 2012, Sony seemed to go quiet on the technology, prompting many to question whether they remain serious about 3D moving forward, prompting Sony to insist they still considor it to be an impportant feature of Playstation gaming. Chief executive of SCEE Jim Ryan was quoted, on gaming site cvg, recently stating “where it makes sense, 3D technology will be included into our games“.
Hardly the ringing endorsement though - hardly the battle cry for 3D Sony sounded at E3 2011, and now with news that Sony's flagship title for 2013 will not support it, many will be left wondering if the company will continue to back 3d at all going forward.
