needs more blur

Shaheed79 · (08-13-2008, 11:00 PM)

It begins.

Busty · (08-13-2008, 11:00 PM)

So wait...... no waggle then?

soco · (08-13-2008, 11:00 PM)

should probably include this

Quote:

Although the motion-sensing has 1:1 accuracy, it’s only in the two dimensions onscreen, rather than the three dimensions that the Wii Remote can manage. The EyeToy also cannot detect more subtle movements such as the twisting of the player’s wrist. The EyeToy still has difficulty distinguishing colours accurately in anything but the brightest of lighting conditions.

before people get too excited...

Still for the Eyetoy? support the PS eye more already.

I am Awesome · (08-13-2008, 11:01 PM)

so that leaves 10 more announcements then

solid2snake · (08-13-2008, 11:01 PM)

blurry pics are blurry.

Shaheed79 · (08-13-2008, 11:01 PM)

Oh eye-toy. False alarm at ease men.

I knew something was strange when I noticed the game was 2D lol.

JodyAnthony · (08-13-2008, 11:02 PM)

I refuse to buy the pseye* until they anounce that Eyedentify is not vaporware

*until LittleBigPlanet is released

I'm surprised they haven't released any new content for it considering that two titles they released for it are consistently in the Top Downloads list in the Playstation Store.

Zombie James · (08-13-2008, 11:02 PM)

Don't like the art style, don't like how they list "real toy sword" as a feature. Do not like.

I thought eye toy could distinguish facial expressions... :( EyeDentify :(

PS. Here come the party games. 10 year lifespan plan continues..

sevenchaos · (08-13-2008, 11:03 PM)

This is a step forward. Maybe if this sells they'll start to give shit.

kenta · (08-13-2008, 11:04 PM)

Daikatoona?

thuway · (08-13-2008, 11:04 PM)

I wonder if a waggle device is in the future for the 3triple. Waggle Mote + Camera + Sword Game made by internal SCEE = RADness.

Tntnnbltn · (08-13-2008, 11:04 PM)

This is about EyeToy Play: Hero? I'd hardly call it an unveiling; we've known about it for months. It's a PS2 game aimed for kids, along with EyeToy Play: Pom Pom Party.

PALGN has an old preview here from last may.

A: So how bright does it need to be before it can distinguish anything accurately?
B: See that? *pointing at the brilliantly bright shining sun
A: Yeah? That bright? *gulps*
B: That ain't bright enough.

This is PS2, right?

jvalioli · (08-13-2008, 11:05 PM)

One of the key features is that you are the hero of the game. Good one.

200W light bulbs. PS3 Hero kills Black knight, PS3 Hero kills the world.

Yeah, I think so. They announced this a while back.

The microphone is also put to use here as you can order your dragon to breathe flame by simply shouting “FIRE!”

reminds me a little bit too much of this:

So no thanks i guess :P

Bamihap · (08-13-2008, 11:09 PM)

Too much lag. for fast actions. Framerate is too low for ultra detailed moves. You can't beat a gyroscoped enhanced wiimote @ 100hz.

And also: Sony had the chance to do something new with eyetoy but they haven't used one bit of the camera's potential in all these years.

Flakster99 · (08-13-2008, 11:09 PM)

Consider me interest in the story-driven EyeToy game.

Shaheed79 · (08-13-2008, 11:09 PM)

Man you guys sure are trolling. The game might be very fun. I'm a little disappointed that it isn't their answer to motion-plus but at least it shows they are interested in this sort of control mechanic.

pcostabel · (08-13-2008, 11:11 PM)

Awesome. I wonder if it will work with my front projection setup. Is the sword self illuminated or will it need bright lighting?

Actually the camera captures at 120hz...so that's not really true.

Fenderputty · (08-13-2008, 11:14 PM)

Hmmmm ... I might get more use of my PSeye than just LBP.

Could this be another one of those 12 announcements that are supposed to be coming at leipzig?

Hope not, since this "announcement" has been known for months now.

Farnack · (08-13-2008, 11:17 PM)

Wow! That looks like Crossed Swords.

One of my favourite Neo Geo game.

How do you re-announce something already announced at PlayStation Day in May 2008?

Torquill · (08-13-2008, 11:19 PM)

So, Dragon Quest Swords but the sword will actually slice where you meant it do.

As long as there's no Slime Crisis...

...the nightmares....

Epix · (08-13-2008, 11:19 PM)

Anyone else getting a Dragon's Lair vibe from this?

tahrikmili · (08-13-2008, 11:20 PM)

Sounds like an epic failure in the making. Nice concept but so many "but"s in the article.. 2D, eye-toy capture limitations etc.

Man ... I didn't know it was announced. While I'm being blasted, I'll greatly take it since I was hoping this wasn't one of those announcements.
