Lego Harry Potter dev thinks 3D gaming is “over-hyped”

Sony is throwing its full weight behind 3D gaming, but not everyone has warmed to the idea. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata for one is doubtful that it’ll take off, and so is Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 producer Loz Doyle.

Doyle recently spoke to VideoGamer and expressed his personal belief that 3D gaming is “over-hyped”:

I don’t like the idea of sitting in my living room with a pair of glasses on, watching TV or playing a game. I feel it would detach you from other people in the room. Our games are more about being together and playing together. Having glasses on would be a little bit odd. I wouldn’t rule it out, but personally, I’m not into it.

A PS3 firmware update that adds 3D support to the Sony console is expected to be released this year.
