Epic Games' vice president, Mark Rein, has dismissed Ubisoft's move to develop games with stereoscopic 3D technology - or S-3D - as "dumb".

Speaking to GamesIndustry.biz, Rein revealed that the Unreal Engine 3 already supported S-3D technology but that he didn't expect it to gain widespread acceptance - saying the need to buy a new screen was too high a barrier to entry.

When told about Ubisoft's recent announcement to use S-3D, Rein commented: "That's dumb."

"I have a 3D monitor sitting in my office and stereoscopic has worked on Unreal for a long time. In fact one of the guys pushing stereoscopic sent me the monitor, he said 'Your games are great on these monitors,' so he sent me one."
