EA says Xbox 360 can do 3D

 

We just received a press release from EA claiming that Crysis 2 "will be the first major video game on multiple platforms to take full advantage of true stereoscopic 3D." Up until now, we've been under the assumption that the PlayStation 3 is the only current generation console capable of 3D because of its newer HDMI specification.

 

If this is the case, why didn't Microsoft announce such a thing at the company's press conference this morning? Sony has certainly been riding the 3D bandwagon, so a Microsoft counter-attack wouldn't be out of the question.

 

The original Crysis took advantage of the horsepower-demanding proprietary CryEngine and impressed gamers and critics alike with its over-the-top physics and other technical achievements. Crysis 2 will use the updated CryEngine 3 and drop gamers into a war-torn New York City amidst an alien invasion. Available in either 2D or 3D, Crysis 2 will hit stores for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC on February 22, 2011.
