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

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 ; ;

Absolutely! Awesome 3D experience all around as long as the original content is high quality

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

Wow. That video was sweet. Damn thing kept getting closer and closer.
Great 3d video wow
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.

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.
My "DU4L C0R3 SH00T3R" shot you down in 3D! -Security Off-
I thought it looked pretty good before..now it really has some pop! Especially in the menu screens. I know a lot of us here on xda always remove it, but at least check it out. Set the 3D on max
Yea I love that game. The quality of the games one of the things that makes this phone so cool to me. But yes sadly that's one of the first things to go with custom roms, but I'm keeping this one. It's truly a fun game and better graphics quality than the portable game consoles out there. I have game boys and psp's and I don't touch them anymore.
You MUST try this game...
It's a demo, free download from the Market: AngryBots 3D
It uses the Unity engine, and not only is it a really cool game, the 3D effects are AWESOME... Best I've seen so far!
Graphics are well done.
The 3D isn't the best I've seen but it does look good.
Performance is acceptable. It doesn't lag or chop around like some gameloft games in 3D.
The game does seem like it could be fun if the controls weren't nearly broken.. they are so bad it makes the game unplayable. :-(
Might have to check it out...

EDIT: Downloaded the 2D version. LOL
Looks okay. Controls are a little odd. I would have preferred an FPS or 3PS point of view with those controls. Not good enough for me to be anything but a 3D demo.
