Here’s an odd question for someone to experiment with... On a regular 2 player game with the players split left-right, rather than top-bottom, on a 3DTV, if you set the 3D ON while playing one of these games, if each player closes different eyes, do they see their half of the screen stretched to full screen, allowing them to both play full screen at the same time?

Indeed.. If you get two pairs of glasses, strip out the lenses, and make one left-left and the other right-right, you should technically get two complete screens...

Anyone willing to try? Not the damaging glasses part, just the 2 player game part.

No need for a special feature, any 3DTV would be able to do it, probably with any existing split screen game. Hell, doing this with a PC, keeping each screen in its own side, you'd even be able to play two entirely different games full screen on the same tv! -although the audio would be a bit funky, perhaps switch to mono and supply a crazy headphone splitter so that player 1 gets left channel and player 2 gets right. *fingers crossed for a new TV in the january sales* -=-=- Check out my excellent homepage!

I guess it depends on whether your telly has manual switchable 3D modes.. Mine has options for off/auto/side-by-side and top-bottom... So whatever it is you're sending the telly, you can switch on some sort of mode, and it "should" manage to do something.. I'll have a play around, later.. Thinking along the lines of "bunch of YouTube clips showing Splitscreen... See if that works.." .. .... It's either that, or I faff about with cables and shit.. Can't be arsed!! I can play youtube clips fine!! ...will test later. Mum's claimed the telly!

And there you go, not specially written software or fancy tv mode required! just a 20 year old split screen game. and with passive 3d, you can make your l-l,r-r glasses for about £2. i would imagine active 3d would cost you about £250 and probably fail, so we'll ignore that idea
