NGP camera features detailed
pretty crazy if true
Update:
NGP first party launch titles:
We have been busy finding out some top secret information on the NGP and we have managed to find out a little more about how they plan to use the camera in their launch window titles.
Our source close to Sony, who has seen the NGP in action already, gave us some information on how the camera is used in the upcoming Uncharted and Resistance titles for the NGP.
As a little quirk in Resistance players can pick up weapons that they are looking at on the screen by passing their hand underneath the camera on the outside of the NGP just as if they were picking up the weapon in real life.
In Uncharted, when a light source is required, pointing the outside camera at a nearby light or the sun will provide the necessary illumination.
These are both interesting uses of the technology that in first party titles that shows that Sony is keen for developers to make the most of the technology available in the handset to provide a more immersive experience.
Uncharted is due out with the NGP when it launches supposedly before Christmas and Resistance is slated for sometime between January and March 2012
