Skate 2 enables red/blue 3D mode via cheat code

by Richard Lawler posted Mar 1st 2009 at 1:18PM

Sony showed off some slick 3D gaming setups at CES last month, but since you probably don't have two PS3s, a special copy of Gran Turismo 5 and a 3D display just laying around, Skate 2 is the closest thing available right now. Punch in "strangeloops" under the Extras section of the main menu and you'll be in anaglyph 3D mode (~~you did hang on to your Sobe 3D glasses, right~~? Doh! as noted by commenters below, those glasses are amber instead of red and won't give the slight 3D effect desired with this cheat) We're sure many are shocked that EA didn't try to slip this in as paid DLC instead of providing a free cheat code, once you've recovered check out a YouTube demo embedded after the break.

SOBE glasses DO NOT work you need red/blue glasses

Just a note... while the code works and the image is a red/blue anaglyph. The Sobe glasses you mentioned (which I did hang onto, thank you very much!) have amber/blue lenses and thus, don't work with this type of thing. Bummer.... off to find a different pair of nerd specs.

Is this true of the 360 version also?

I just watched it with my SoBe glasses, but it's red/blue, not sepia/blue.

this is really just a gimmick, and I doubt this generation we will see many, if any, true 3d games, but the PS4 and the xbox 482(.5) will probably have full 3d support. I'm currently considering a 3d kit for my TV (which is capable of it through VGA), has anyone tried this and is it worth money?

Strapped on the old cardboard red and blue glasses, this video is such poor quality I couldnt make out the effect on my 15" laptop. Guess this non-sk8r will be renting this game and checking it out on the 106" front projection system ;)
