Delivering a keynote speech — entitled “Seeing is Believing: 3D a New Creative Medium for Games” — at the Develop conference in Liverpool, Sony Computer Entertainment’s Mick Hocking argued that 3D can give games more than just increased visual depth. The studio director of Sony’s Liverpool studio, responsible for Wipeout HD, stated that the technology can make games seem more natural and thus more inviting to newcomers. “Doing things like the way we’ve used Move combined with 3D in Tumble makes a game more natural and more accessible, which will be great for welcoming more people to your games,” Hocking said. The ability to interact within a game’s space makes the technology a new creative medium, he added, allowing creators to build on the player’s enhanced sense of depth and spatial awareness.
