“Happy Birthday MTBS! Congratulations on the implementation of GameGrade3D. DDD’s TriDef 3D supports 3D gaming on consumer electronic devices from the world’s leading brands like LG, Samsung, Sony, Intel, AMD and more. We know gamers rate GG3D highly, and journalists can easily follow the results. It’s a real benefit to the 3D gaming marketplace, and demonstrates MTBS’ ongoing commitment to advocating good 3D in video games.” – Chris Yewdall, CEO of Dynamic Digital Depth.
Game Grade3D
GameGrade3D (GG3D) is a community driven database of PC video games and their compatibility with the leading stereoscopic 3D technologies like AMD HD3D, Dynamic Digital Depth’s TriDef Ignition, and Nvidia’s GeForce 3D Vision drivers. Each GG3D submission includes tested hardware and software information, required game settings for best results, visual flexibility in 3D mode, and remaining errors. To make debugging easier, the service also lets gamers attach 3D screenshots to help demonstrate positive and negative results with their games.
With a fixed scoring mechanism, GameGrade3D has already amassed over 400 game submissions during its beta phase – all made possible by passionate stereoscopic 3D gamers.
“GameGrade3D is an independent service that focuses on 3D readiness without marketing influence. It’s a great tool for journalists, game developers, and consumers looking for an accurate way of recording and finding quality recommendations in S-3D PC gaming. While it hasn’t been endorsed by all industry players, it has been well received by press and gamers alike as a useful service. In fact, its tagline is ‘it isn’t 3D Ready until gamers say it is’,” explained Neil Schneider, CEO of Meant to be Seen.
