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.

this game look fun
Ugh. Way slower than regular and the 3D isn't impressive enough. Disappointed.
Not knocking the actual game. I liked speedx. The 3D effect ruins the gameplay.
Are We Not Phones?
We are EVO.
ARE WE NOT PHONES?!

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.

I finally downloaded the 184MB on my wifi to play Spider-Man in 3D and I must say it was pretty sweet. Has anyone purchased the game, or any other games? Are they worth it/enjoyable?
I got the golf one.
I bought NOVA. The 3D intensity can be adjusted, which is neat. It's more for show that I bought it than for entertainment.

It's just a trial. You get one level. And before you can play you must download additional files (184MB worth!). It was kinda fun though. might have to buy this one.
Ah, I didn't realize it was just a demo, I only had it on for a few minutes, thanks for the info!

Is Nova a fun game?
is the 3d eefect really that good -- just viewing some youtube videos but cannot get an idea of how it looks in 3d
The 3d effect is very good. There is an obvious difference in quality based upon level of effort. Our displays can show 3d in great quality, but the item being displayed has to be designed to do so.
At first I was against the whole "3D" part of the phone but the 3D games look amazing! I'm really impressed. I wish every game were 3D. I want to play pacman in 3D now! But that spiderman was the best looking game I've seen on a phone so far. Really cool.
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.
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

anyone who already tried it?

Ooohh.. OK.. that's cool.
Any feedback on how it looks?. Regular NOVA2 looks good!. I find it hard to believe that they could maintain its already stellar look in 3D. Probably had to drop some details.
EDIT: Downloading now. Will report back. Wish they let us transfer savegames. :-\
Update: The 3D effect is very disappointing. The Hudson pops out. But not really anything else. There isn't a lot of depth either. Just all around pathetic 3D effect. The game also runs terribly while in 3D. Worse performance of any 3d game I've played. And I'm overclocked. Turning off 3D for this one is a better experience all around. What a Rip off.
lol that sounds very dissapointing. I dont have the game yet but for me it looks like it was very similar to nova 3d 1. nova 3d 1 runs very well on my phone so there might be some things they updated that making it harder to run nice.
I have installed the game and your right. The game lags sometimes a bit and the 3d is not very spectacular. Dont think I will finish this game. Glad I still have enough other 3dgames to play
Not long ago, I started a thread comparing 3D phones LG and HTC.
The thread was closed since few of us were getting really nasty. I still feel though that since I was not really getting irritated by the Hot comments, the THREAD SHOULD HAVE continued but was nevertheless closed.
Coming to the point, and just in continuation of that thread.......
LG recently released a 3D app and game converter for the 3D phone. This means you can play ordinary 2d games in 3d. This adds up to already available 3d conversion tool for videos and photos natively built. If some of you will remember me saying that HTC is a phone with 3D screen and camera but not a 3d phone, will definitely recall what I was talking about then and what I am talking about now.
Of course some of us will still argue that 3d conversion is not that great, but that's not what we are talking about. We are talking about functionality and flexibility when comparing.
If 3d conversion is really that bad, why is there a 5 star rating for te 3d video conversion tool threading this forum for HTC evo 3d.
Guys, the idea of this thread and last thread was only to highlight to HTC through unanimous pressure that the eve 3d also needs to have these apps and features. The hardware is certainly capable, but HTC has kinda given up on development which is way too bad. Lets all push HTC to UNLEASH THE TRUE Potential of evo 3d.
Your correct...not again..if you want it...do it yourself.
Idk man, but I wish we had the game converter ported to our phone. I downloaded the optimus 3d rom, and extracted the game converter, installed on my phone, it actually loaded, showed angry birds but when I pressed it, I got a force close. I'm sure I don't have all the right files for conversion but it was cool seeing it load. Makes me feel there is hope for this I our evo's

It's still early in development for the 3D. We should see alot of goodies down the road.
"DU4L C0R3 SH00T3R"┌П┐[◣_◢]┌П┐

Yes early development for 3d but its coming on fast.
htc should have bundled some native apps and games with it. Nevertheless, updates are always coming and i do hope we can enjoy the benefits of glasses free 3d.
I mean to start with, why cant we have a 3d wallpaper if the phone is 3d.????
The Evo 3D really needs more support from HTC. A game converter would be great. I think the Evo 3D has superior harware as the screen can also display 3D in portrait mode (even though the viewing angles in portrait mode for 3D are very poor), and a higher screen resolution. If only the software highlighted the capabilities as much as it does on the Optimus 3D. HTC made the 3D look like a gimmick, even though it has great capability.
What makes you think its HTC job to supply you with 3D games and features? The evo was the first to have 3D, a little too early because they wanted to be the first. Like people are saying its in early development. There are plenty of 3D games out there. Also you really want to view you phone in 3D all the time? Some would like that, but I bet many more wouldnt. All over these forums you see people saying they dont use the 3D camera because its useless outside the phone. And almost every ROM deletes the 3D spiderman game. The same goes with google video chat when it came out. What good is it if no one has the same phone or capabilities. Give them time, you will find what you are looking for!
Well to start with, ALL and i mean ALL phone manufacturers are now extending their services to support and apps. You can even notice that the android market has a HTC icon and HTC recommends and HTC likes features.
App store is coming on as a big time differentiator when deciding for phones. I doubt HTC can avoid that for long. Also FYI i think LG was launched earlier that HTC, but that does not matter.
What we have in our hands is a 3d phone minus cool 3d features that should be available in a 3d phone as are there in LG. I bet once the samsung galaxy 3d is out, the bar will be raised.
3d technology is new. All Hardware manufacturers are at this time introducing software and modules to MAKE IT LIVE LONG and create usability for their hardware. Thats the game. HTC must create this usability.

It was a pretty crappy game. And only a demo at that.
From what I read, an upcoming version of HTC sense will incorporate 3D into the ui. The technology is advancing quickly in terms of hardware, we will continue to see better and better glasses free 3D technology, but the software is advancing a little slower.

I doubt they will do that until there is technology advanced enough to work at all angles, not mess with your eyes, have HD 3D, etc.
Even then, the UI can get pretty annoying then so there would need to be an option.

just because it can convert them doesn't make it the best if its not really that great after i go for functionality and quality so personally just because they have more 3d stuff doesn't make it the best 3d device it will honestly come down to personal preference. one big comparison is apple to android apple has alot of goodies with there product but in my personal opinion android blows it away. i know there are still many people who disagree with me and thats fine but to me having all the extra stuff is simple gimmicky and once again comes down to functionality and quality that is why i choose the products i do and thats why i prefer the evo 3d to the rest.
