For some reason, I love playing golf games while traveling, and so I'm very much interested in Let's Golf 2 3D for the 3vo. I'm a little disappointing that they haven't released any sort of demo/trailer for the 3D game, so I was wondering if any 3vo owners out there have tried the game...if so, what's your review of it?
yes nice game, i play it every day...
I had lets golf 2 on my evo but it wouldn't display correctly on the 3vo so I went ahead and bought the 3D version. It's pretty cool, if you like the other lets golf games than its worth the 4.99. Its another way to show off the 3d.
Very good game, one of my favorites. Runs way faster without the 3D enabled though.
My ''xDU4L C0R3 SH00T3Rx'' shot you down in 3D!
I played it on the optimus3d and it looked like crap. Aliasing and pixels everywhere. The 3d is a nice addon though.
You won't regret getting it.. Fun game for what it is.

This. While the 3D is cool, it has damn near double the framerate with 3D off.
I had bought the HD version on my og evo and it wouldn't work on my 3vo, so I emailed Gameloft and they sent me the apk for the 3D version and I am very impressed. The 3D is pretty awesome, plus it runs so much faster than the HD version did on my evo. Great game, even better if you already owned before and get the free 3D upgrade.
I had Let's golf on my Palm Pre and enjoyed the game. . . I like it 3d too, pretty cool. . .
Been playing it for a while. I like the 3D but gives me a slight headache after a while.

The spiderman is ok in 3D. I've already beat that game on my thunderbolt so wasn't too impressed. How about the others? Nova, asphault, GT racing, assassin's creed, let's golf 3D? Have any of these just amaze you with the 3D effects? I have nova 2 and asphault 6 in 2D. Finding it hard to go buy it all again just for 3D that's subpar

I grabbed Asphalt and I have mixed feelings. It's a decent game and all that, but the frame rate is poor with the 3d effects turned on. That's really disappointing. I mean, the Adreno 220 is supposed to be boss and these games were made, er, hastily patched specifically for the Evo 3D. I guess it is rendering two scenes at 960x540, but I'm still feeling a little let down. In 2d mode it's smooth as butter and it seems to have decent replay value.
I'm not a big fan of Gameloft's offerings, tbh. They seem to cut corners and don't put out a polished product.
I would much rather a QHD optimized game with a high fps instead of a choppy 3D one. The effect's cool but definitely not worth the loss of a playable speed in games. We have a kickass processor and gpu, put it to use where it can help.
@spock, I dont think the 3D games run at 960x540, probably half that, just like the 3DS does with 3D games.
My $.02
N.O.V.A. 3D is tha shiznit, loved it in 2d on my old EVO 4G, even sweeter in 3D! I'm curious about Asphalt vs GT... I had Asphalt 5 on my EVO 4G and loved the arcade-y feel (Burnout ftmfw!), but the GT Racing game looks soooo much cleaner on the YouTube videos. Anybody tried GT Racing? Thoughts?
Bummer ; ;

nova in 3d is kind of hard for me to play i guess because just trying to do the controls moves the phone a bit and can move the effect around.
and when i tried nova 2 it seemed much smoother either because the game is just better or because its in 2d.
lets golf 2 is great in 3d though i really like it
I'll skip the 3D games then

i still dont have it and i im in europe and waiting for it to be released and i have to sell first my iphone 4 wich for games is the best phone ever but funcionality is the bigest crap ever! still thinkig wich to pick GS2 or E3D
The games pretty much suck, but pictures and videos are very impressive. Especially the ones I have taken with the phone. The 3D effect is 10x better then the DS and any other glasses free display I have seen thus far. I think the poor 3D effect in the games will only improve over time.

then im pretty sure im going to get one (evo 3d) when its going to release in eu
I personally think the games look great. Maybe the 3D effect is not as good as the pictures and video but the overall graphics are really good for a phone. Some of the best looking phone games I've ever seen.
I know the 3d sdk is not out yet but I was curious if anyone farmilar with chainfire knows if it'd be possible to make a plugin for the EVO 3d to force everything to use the 3d display.

And then? Play a game thats not made for a 3d screen? That will look like crap.
If you have no input why post?
@OP I'd imagine it is possible actually, similar to graphics cards forcing anti aliasing and 3d in pc games.
That's something I'm definitely interested in seeing, but I wouldn't know how much work it would take to get it working

I had a great imput. Not a imput like your brilliant reply. Thinking AA is desame easyness as enabling 3d everywhere.
If a 3d application does not support 3d on its own, you will get crapess on its best.

Thanks. Im glad for you that you write perfect english without error.
I'd like to say, in theory, with a game that is rendered in three dimensions, you could program it to just use two different camera angles... but um, it'd have to be programmed into each one i'd guess... so yeah, no, prolly never gonna work.

Correct. Now the trolls can go away
In theory the display driver could be coded to display any opengl app in 3d, without changing apps. The driver has the complete 3d model, and two perspectives could be rendered. This would produce an accurate 3d projection for any ogl/el game.
The only thing that would appear odd is if the dev wasn't careful with the z plane on some objects ( 2d overlays, etc). It would appear fine in 2d, but 3d they may be way close or far out.
The 3d games aren't even POP OUT 3D so I don't know what the other guys are talking about. If you even play the included 3d game you can easily tell it just adds depth....I see why there would be a difference in other games, there will just be aded depth.
I thought NVIDIA's 3d stuff was a similar hack which is why they had varying degrees of compatibility among various games

I doubt spiderman was completely rewritten in 3d format. I would imagine it was just converted. I know instant 2d to 3d on a capable television doesnt look bad at all. Even some 2d to 3d clips are pretty good if done right, so I dont see what all the negative fuss is about. I was disappointed before launch, when I realized this phone didnt do 2d to 3d.
Oh yeah, games like call of duty that switches to 3d, doesnt have a completely seperate game on the disc, and it looks good.
3D isn't 3D as it was 5 years ago.
even in the movie theaters 3D isn't like OMG **** IS COMING AT ME kind of deal.
it adds "depth" and somewhat "clarity"
i remember Terminator 3D , now that was 3D .
the EVO 3D has limitations , makes stuff minor 3D. requires a lot of resources for full 3D . nothing a phone can handle atm, not even computers can handle it. full popping out , i think that hand is gonna grab my face 3D .
would you sacrifice half your battery life permanently with no fixes for full 3D on all the time? how would your eyes feel? looking at it everyday all day? i'll super glue 3D glasses onto your head . everything will be 3D .
the 3D effect is simply an angle, and depth as people say. that is all. makes you see more than just a flat angle. you can see the sides of the flatness, making it 3D

YEAH I GOT A EVO 3D
I just found this update out on the market, I don't know when the update came out and it doesn't seem like there's a thread about it already, so just to let people know. It supports full 3D for the Evo 3D and the Optimus.
If you have this game already launch it and check out the new glasses-free 3D, if not, I really recommend getting it, the 3D isn't bad (it looks AMAZING on the menu) but needs some perfecting on the actual in-game, or it could just be me trying to play it at 3 in the morning =p)
Either way, here's the market link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.beepstreet.speedx&hl=en
Unfortunately, it's not possible to 'try' out the 3D feature since the free version doesn't let you cause of ads =\ either way, its worth a 15 minute free preview!
how to get that preview?

Here are the steps:
1)Purchase the game
2)Play the game
3)Refund your purchase from the market
4)Make the developer cry
It's a great game. If you try it and like it, don't feel bad about the ~$2 that it costs. Help the developer out!
Pretty cool. Worth my $1.50.

All market apps give you a 15minute window after you purchase them to try them out and get your money back 100% if you don't like it.
Actually that's true for every time you use Google Checkout for anything.
Man, this thing totally borked my phone, as soon as I closed it after playing, my whole touchscreen froze up! Reboot didn't help, finally got it uninstall, and phone started responding.

Play it for about 30 minutes and see if you don't think it's more addicting than crack. And the music rocks. I like it better than the original. The controls are better-tuned, the pacing and difficulty ramp are perfect. To me, the best part is that the '3D part' isn't getting in the way at all. It's just mild enough to be an enhanced visual, and not the game itself.
Gladly bought this.

Yeah I didn't see any decrease in performance either, run just as smoothly as it did without the 3D.
If you use this phone enough you could definitely tell that the 3D effect has a lot of influence negatively on the performance of the game itself. Just like the other 3D games I have. It's bearable, but it runs way smoother without 3D enabled.
My "DU4L C0R3 SH00T3R" shot you down in 3D! -Security Off-
I am basically writing this article to help all those who have spent time and time to buy the best 3d phone and are probably reading STEREOTYPE reviews repeating same things again and again and leaving you in a more complex state that you were before reading them.
I own an HTC Evo 3d and I also own a Optimus 3d and i also own an Acer 4738DG 3d laptop. I spent hours trying to find which of the two phones is best but i ended up buying both. Now this review to help those wanting to buy and trying to choose.
I will NOT go into details available at every other review website. I will only point out features that really matter and are not available anywhere for review.
PHONE SIZE AND FEEL
O3D is definitely not easy to hold. Its light but difficult to operate. The standby button and unlock button is at the top which makes it difficult to use, since this is the button you are likely to use a lot. The phone is lighter than EVO 3d which is an advantage.
Evo 3D is very bulky. and HEAVY. However due to shorter width than O3D it is easier to hold and grip and the unlock plus startup button is more accessible than O3D. My personal choise is Evo 3D for this round. Simply because it is easier to grip, although it is heavy.
3D Capabilities
Evo 3d is NOT a 3d phone. Surprised? Well thats the truth unfortunately. Evo 3d is a 3D camera which lets you take pictures and view them in 3d. NOT a 3d phone. I dont see any intention of HTC to make it a 3d phone as such. The only thing they have developed is a 3d camera ad a viewing screen. There is no 3d conversion as in you would have to manually covert2d pics and videos on your PC before you can view them on EVo which is useless.
O3d is a 3D phone. its a 3d camera, plus 3d interface icluding 3d channel youtube, plus 3d gallery, plus 3d menus, plus 3d application plus 3d games. Hell, it can even convert ON THE GO 2D movies and snapshots in 3D without any external software.
Go for O3d if you want a full 3d phone.
3D Camera Quality
Evo 3D captures stil photographs in 3d format at max 2MP. Video is at 720p. The camera is pretty basic with regular Htc options and only one option of 3d width adjustment. The camera in 3d mode has flash. Horizontal viewing is best. Vertical although supported is hardly noticeable in 3D. 3d Depth is not as cool as O3d but the pictures come up nice and bright.
O3D captures stil photographs in 3d format at max 3MP. and video at 720p. There is no flash for 3D stills or movie which is a HUUUGEEE drawback. The 3d camera is very smart and allows many 3d options like side by side, vertical cuts and other depth adjustments. The depth of 3d pics is better than Evo3d. but the picture quality itself is not that great.
If you operate in a bright environment go for O3d. If not go for HTC cuz flash is a huge advantage. The low resolution of HTC is compensated by the fact that it has flash.
Pre Bundled 3D software
HTC Evo3D = None
O3D = 4 games in 3d, Separate 3d gallery, 3d stuff accessible from LG 3d store which has movie clips and other apps plus games.
UPDATES
O3D is promised by LG to be updated to Gingerbread in October alongwith more 3d applications and 3d interface. LG has a 3d STORE from where you can download 3d videos and clips, free plus paid. Means you dont have to dowload, crop, resize and then somehow make them work on HTC evo3d.
HTC Evo3D from what i have learnt is not getting 3d updates from HTC. It is left to the developers for that.
ROOTING
Both can be rooted.
Volume Rocker
Volume rocker key in both devices is a pain to use. Its so much embedded kind of inside the phone.
Battery
O3D battery lasts for atleast 4 hours more than Evo 3d.
The other stuff is pretty basic. So if anyone is looking for a 3d phone this review may help him.
I have been an HTC fan throughout. But honestly LG has come a long way. I have the LG app files so if anyone interested in porting them to HTC evo 3d that would really be great.
If this helps, just say thanks.

So... Did the LG win the "Updates" part based on promises on adding an update that's been out for months? Frankly it should have shipped with GB. Kindof ridiculous that it didn't...
Also, converting videos and pics on the go doesn't seem all that convenient if the camera can just take 3D videos and pics. Why take a 2D anything and convert? The conversion won't be even half as good as the real deal.
EVO 3D does videos and YouTube in 3D.

The Evo 3D comes with the green hornet 3D at least with sprint, and spider man 3D demo.. how does that not count as 3D content? also as the user above said, we can watch 3D youtube videos as well...
Not sure I can take someone serious with a review that spells "because" with "cuz". Not being rude, just saying :/
And Zook!? What's up son?!

My Evo 3D came with The Green Hornet 3D and Spiderman 3D. It also came with that 3D Games, but I wouldn't really call that one software though.
First of all thanks for the replies.
This guide is not basically to support one phone over the other. Point being whats good in 3D.
Lemme answer few of the posts so far,
Auto 2d to 3D conversion. Well this feature is kinda handy. With a 3D phone in your hand, you have the new camera to take 3d pics but what about your old collection. Do you want to boast off the 3d and enjoy the same pic with 3d content? Well then LG is your choice cuz (because) the phone can do that.
The result is not that bad actually. I remember when i first laid hands on my Acer 5738dg 3d laptop i converted a lot of 2d content. Never liked it. But this new screen concept of without the glasses does a pretty decent job.
I can say this cuz i HAVE TESTED it on O3D. I would suggest someone else to test and say if its that bad or ok.
The games that come with HTC EVO 3d are standalone games available in sprint version. I am talking about sim free versions of both phones. PLUS O3D has a 3d interface from which you can actually use and launch the game.
Lastly, LG promised an update in august and they delivered. I think the gingerbread update is coming in October, but what I am more interested in is the promised development that LG stated that this update will enable 2D games to be viewed in 3D as well. That is what i meant with when i said its a true 3d phone.
I will probably keep both phones till either HTC gets a port of LG 3d interface or LG gets an update for camera 3d flash. After that I will sell one of these.
Meanwhile, if anyone wants a hands on comparison of any feature please post here and i shall help to the best of my knowledge.
BTW someone mentioned youtube? Well when i meant youtube built in O3D i mean a real 3D youtube app. Maybe i need to post a video to let you guys have a look. Youtube in 3d is accessible by adding ",yt3d" to any search. But thats not what i meant.
Any questions are welcome.

Kind of right, but what about for example
Cyberlink powerd dvd 3d conversion, dvd FAB, stereoscopic viewer and tridef.
These are all 3d converters and players and pretty decent ones and trust me they are making a lot of money for these features cuz large public wants it.
Anyways, the 3d conversion on O3D is not bad actually, its good. Not excellent and not at all like actual. but good.

Oh.. OK, didn't get that is what you where talking about.
Are there any games or apps that use the 3d display? I know the phone comes with two, but I was looking to see if there were any on the market and they were all 3d words rendered in 2d. I was looking for some cool games or apps that use the 3d display. any suggestions?
Bob
Gameloft is what your looking for, not very many out yet, having the 3d technology is a blessing and a curse, not very many 3d phones out there using the same stuff we got.
Best bet is to hit up their website. I've tried a few, spiderman seems to use the 3d graphics the best imo..
Oh before you get flamed... The search button is a wonderful tool. There is a thread about the 3d games somewhere, saw it awhile back...
