Best 3D Innovation of 2012...
  1 / 2    
With 2012 basically over with it I figured it would be a good time to acknowledge the greatest thing to come to 3D Vision this year. It is not a game or a peripheral but the work of one person - HeliX. His mod has not only made dozens of games playable in 3D but some of them are nearly perfect. Without his mod we would have to endure the many issues that plague some of the more bearable ones, like Borderlands 2, and never be able to enjoy some of the others in 3D, like Far Cry 3. The number of official 3D Vision games that came out this year that were accurately portrayed that way, like Guild Wars 2 and Max Payne 3, were few and far between. Many other members of the community have provided fixes thanks to his mod and he had to put a lot of work into the tougher ones like Dishonored, Far Cry 3, and Skyrim. As much as I enjoy 3D Vision gaming I can honestly say I was about to give up on it since the amount of 3D Vision games hasn't increased over the last year or so but actually seemed to decrease. I know I bought almost a dozen games this year knowing that a fix was made to play it in 3D. Helix, I raise a mug of beer in your honor good sir!

Yes... Helix the 3D living legend, but you can't forget the handful of other members of the community who helped as well. You know who you are.

Absolutely agreed. Helix and the rest are to thanked immensely. I suppose Nvidia can just sit back and let the community fix games themselves, which is kinda bogus. I wish for a day that 3D is the norm and all games have a "play in 2D" setting for lame people! lol

Yes, Helix came through in a BIG way! Thanks man! Next year, however, we may not be so fortunate. Most of the games coming will be DX11 only...

Also, big thanks to Rajko Stojadinovic and Flugan for their work on Deus Ex: Human Revolution which circumvented the 2D+depth settings and made full-on 3D depth possible.

Agreed, Helix has been the best thing to happen to 3d this year by far, Dishonored, far cry 3, mass effect 3, darksiders 2, and so many more wouldn't be playable on 3d without him, a big thanks for him, I hope real life still lets him keep his amazing work on 3d, and if ever needs some kind of support he just needs to ask. Libertine, can you please explain further how to condig deus ex on 3d? I have tried to play it but in game stereoscopic support is terrible, and every other trick I've tried game me terrible results with shadow problems and what not, can you please explain a little more how to make it work?

Helix easily made this the best year for 3D gamers. I remember last year being amazing because of witcher 2/ Battlefield 3/Batman Arkham and when you think back on it it just 3 amazing games that are 3D Vision ready was a big deal. Now this year alone in just game helix did that are all just amazing is probably like 10+ . Looking back at game releases he probably made 1 out of 2 of major game in 2012 amazing. Back in 2011 if 1/4 had been "playable" compatibility I'd be happy. Other mentions are obviously people who posted fixes using helix's wrapper and chiri who did numerous things. He made Resident Evil 5 from barely playable -> 3d vision ready and numerous other things.

Talking about Chiri, is he still active somewhere? He had an amazing thread on 3d vision for dolphin emulator here http://forums.dolphin-emu.org/Thread-3d-vision-patch-v2?page=18 , but his last post is from May. I would like to know if he has a more up to date version of Dolphin emulator working in 3d, one of his builds finally allowed to save/load with the emu, but it's a very old build, and apparently he patched some games to work in 3d but I don't know how he did it.

Yes, Thanks Helix for all the games you've fixed (especially Dead Space 2, Dishonored and Far Cry 3...AMAZING 3D games thanks to you)....and for giving us this increible tool in a form of debuger (Must be the best tool in years!!), so anyone with the will and time can learn and use. And of course all others users that contribute to this great 3D community.....the blog its pretty active. We need to push this technology, so i encourage to users using Helix mod to upload 3D media content (screenshots - videos) so everyone can see how beautiful games looks in 3D.....and in a near future devs realize (i hope they open both eyes, not only one) that 3D its not an useless extra...its the way all games should be played...personally i cant play anymore in 2D, really CANT!.....i dont know how the hell in the past i play in 2D and found that games looked great...LOL

I'll also thank Helix! I don't know how I'd view my 3d vision kit without these fixes now. First thing I do now when I get a game is check the Helix mod site and see if there is something to make said game better. I'm really hoping he can figure out dx11. I'm not educated/smart enough to really help out in the scene, so I just pray for you smarter folk to make it better! :D
