Capcom 'prepared to start' 3D game research

Is currently able to produce 3D games form a technical standpoint.

Capcom has said that while it is technically able to create 3D video games, the decision to add 3D to its games will be made from a "strategic perspective".

Asked about its plans regarding 3D home video games during a Q3 Q&A conference call, Capcom said:

"We can produce 3D games now from a technological standpoint. Although we are prepared to start research involving some titles, our decision about adding 3D to games will be made from a strategic perspective."

Capcom has already dabbled with 3D in the home, releasing Resident Evil 5 on PC with support for Nvidia's GeForce 3D Vision technology.

3D is expected to become more widespread in the home this year: Sony plans to release updates for its PS3 making the console compatible with 3D movies and games, while Sky will roll-out a 3D television channel this autumn.
