What is insurmountable is that the cursor flat out doesn’t work in stereo 3D mode.I have to aim way off to the bottom right to attempt to shoot or pick anything up that is straight in front of me. This isn’t ideal but wouldn’t have been insurmountable and I could have easily lived with it. The result of this is a very low resolution image which can only really support one of the pop up screens in the bottom corners at a time unless they overlap. With the high horiztontal and low vertical resolutions of the VFX-1 LCD’s this is exactly the opposite of what is needed. The alternate lines approach was introduced with new drivers well after the initial release and System Shock only supports the original side by side image mode. As mentioned in my review, the VFX-1 supported two 3D modes. It makes the game far more atmospheric and should be the only way to experience System Shock. Being able to explore Citadel station like this is just awesome.
Nothing pops out of the screens as such but with such giant screens the added depth is all that is needed. Without the required glasses associated with your usual 3D technology, there is none of the image darkening resulting in a clean bright image.
Stereo 3D on the VFX-1 is incredibly convincing and far better than I’d hoped. Head tracking is supported at all times and (if you have it switched on) stereo 3D when in full screen mode. This only works with the CD version which has built-in support out of the box. It is one of only a small handful of games which supports stereo 3D on the hardware in addition to the head tracking. The main reason I got the VFX-1 was to play System Shock on it.
