Eye Of Judgment Series 2 Cards Hitting April 28th

We had some breaking Eye of Judgment news to tell you, but then we kind of leaked it all in the headline. Regardless, Sony has announced that the formerly delayed Eye of Judgment Series 2 cards will be available April 28th in US stores. The related download (we're assuming to make the pretty cards work) will be available in the PlayStation Store on April 25th. We're sorry, we mean the newly redesigned PlayStation Store on April 25th.

Eye of Judgment Is Way Cheaper On Amazon

I'm sure that I'm not the only one who has been scoping out the PlayStation Eye pack with Eye of Judgment for a few months now, but was thwarted by the $70 price tag. Now, for whatever reason, Amazon is selling the bundle for $45 (w/free shipping) while other retailers seem to have stood firm at the old price.

I think that this price reduction, coupled with my hopes of uber tank awesomeness making its way to PSN, will cause me to drop some cash later today.

PlayStation Eye Headtracking Requires Nothing But A Face

Programming whiz Thomas Miller of Sony Computer Entertainment America wowed us with his technological alchemy earlier this month, whipping up a cool head tracking demo for the PlayStation 3. All that was required, at the time, was a PS3, a PlayStation Eye and a pair of glasses with infrared LEDs tacked on. Neat stuff. But at last week's GDC, Sony was showing a version that simply required a face, no glasses required.

Using facial recognition know-how, the Eye could track one or more faces, altering the on-screen image to great, simulated 3D effect. MTV Multiplayer's Stephen Totilo has video of the tech in action, but one thing that might not be evident in the video is that it also can determine the direction in which you're looking. The possibilities? Cool. The video? Over at MTV (and only available to US residents).

VR Head Tracking For The PS3

Sony Computer Entertainment America programmer Thomas Miller has pulled a Johnny Lee, throwing together a working demonstration of head tracking virtual reality on the PlayStation 3 using the PlayStation Eye, a filter made from exposed and developed film, and a pair of cobbled together infrared glasses. Using the filter to block out all light but infrared, the PlayStation Eye can track the location of the light coming from the glasses, moving the viewpoint according to the position of the beam. The results are pretty damn amazing - pretty much a WiiMote for your face. The potential for this sort of technology for console gaming is near endless, from simple menu navigation to full on head tracking for an FPS title. Miller has uploaded the tech so PS3 programmers can fool around with it. Hopefully some enterprising developer will pick up this ball and run with it. Awesome stuff.

PlayStation Eye "Games" Join PlayStation Store

A pair of PlayStation Eye compatible titles are arriving on the North American PlayStation Store today, giving Eye owners something to do during The Eye of Judgment reassembling downtime. Operation: Creature Feature, a frustration-filled, hand-waving extravaganza comes in at $4.99, with the interactive fish tank/screen saver Aquatopia arriving even cheaper at $1.99. Both are perfect if you have exactly $6.98 burning a hole in your virtual Wallet. And if you have a PSEye. And you're on the brink of death due to boredom.

PS Eye Tech Demos Turn Real Items Into In-game Objects

The latest PlayStation.blog entry from EyeToy specialist Richard Marks—whose proper title is R&D Manager of Special Projects—shows off some intriguing new tech demos utilizing the new PlayStation Eye camera. It seems that someone's been working on technology that will let PS Eye owners create their own levels by drawing shapes or placing real-life objects on a piece of paper.

While only one of the tech demos looks somewhat playable—a simple Lunar Lander-style mini-game controlled with the SIXAXIS—the others are still impressive. Take a gander and day dream of the possibilities.

Eye of Judgment Card Creating Easier Than Expected?

We've already proven that the collectible cards for The Eye of Judgment are easily copyable, but some Japanese 2channel message board posters have an even lower tech solution for skirting card security. Allegedly, some DIY PlayStation 3 owners have created their own fake cards without requiring an original scan nor access to special inks, generating them with Photoshop or simply drawing out the basic identifying shapes by hand with a couple of colored felt-tipped markers.

EyeCreate Spied On PlayStation Store

Sony has added the promised EyeCreate video editing software to the North American PlayStation Store today, a small 9MB download that will allow users to capture video, audio and photos, edit them, use special effects such as color filters, distortions, art filters and motion trails, and export them to the PlayStation 3's video folder. The software requires a PlayStation Eye camera, something most of us won't have until The Eye of Judgment and the standalone retail version of the Eye arrive on store shelves this week.

I'm PlayStation Eye-less at this point, but fully plan on cobbling together sexy performances of "Hungry Like The Wolf", saturated with comely air-clawing motions, when SingStar finally ships.

Sony Goes Trademark Crazy

Sony Computer Entertainment went a bit nutty recently at the US Patent and Trademark Office, with its European division registering new trademarks for unannounced software under the names Ember, SkyBlue, Carriage Return, Race Day, and Strings Attached. These registrants coincide with a number of products already released or announced, including PlayStation Network and PlayStation Eye games Snakeball, Operation Creature Feature, Super Rub'A'Dub and Super Stardust. Unfortunately, the descriptions of the goods and services for each, including helpful hints like "computer games apparatus adapted for use with an external display screen or monitor" don't hint at what these products may be.

PlayStation Eye Detailed, Dated

Eye of Judgment may have Crecente and Fahey going bananas, but I snoozed through my E3 hands-on with the card based game. For those puzzled by EoJ or anyone who just doesn't understand the appeal of SingStar, yet still wants to film their wacky PLAYSTATION 3 antics, the PlayStation Eye will ship as a standalone product in just a few short weeks, right alongside the Eye of Judgment bundle. On October 23, PS3 owners can snap it up for a cheap $39.99, download the EyeCreate software and video edit their fool heads off. More »

Eye of Judgment, PSEye in the House

Sure I've got a retail copy of Halo 3, but I've already finished that fight and the multiplayer co-op, that can wait for a bit. The thing that made me squeal a bit in excitement was opening up a box to find an early build of Eye of Judgment complete with the new camera, stand, playing field and two packs of cards. More »

Trial of Topoq Hands-On Impresssions

"Hands-on" impressions might be leaning toward misleading as Sony's Trials of Topoq requires no actual touching, nor hands to play. The PlayStation Eye game only requires that you move your body about the screen to control a large ball. Whether you manipulate its path with your head, your hands, your crotch or your ass matters not. All that's necessary is that you create waves and, in the case of the Games Convention show floor, make a fool of yourself. More »

The Eye of Judgment Hands-On Impressions

Following a break out session with Sony Japan Studio's The Eye of Judgment at E3 2007, I was a little perplexed. It wasn't just that this was my first time sitting down with a collectible card game, as I'd convinced myself that those Magic the Gathering cards were coated some cootie filled laminate. It was that my brain was searching deep within itself, wondering who the hell was going to go to the Sisyphean effort (by gaming terms) to play this thing. More »

PLAYSTATION Eye Dated For Europe


It seems the PLAYSTATION Eye peripheral has been dated "Summer" for Europe. Makes sense as it should correspond with the release of the hugely successful karaoke game Sing Star, which apparently will use the peripheral. In a press release we've found here, but not the SCEE site, it does mention a summer release and detailed info about the product. Selected tidbits include: More »

PS3 HD Eye Toy Card Game Dated

PLAYSTATION Eye enabled PS3 game THE EYE OF JUDGMENT has been dated "Fall" for Japan and apparently the rest of the world. Nothing more exact than that at the moment. The card-based game was demoed at last year's E3 and takes advantage of Sony's new HD "Eye Toy," dubbed the PLAYSTATION Eye. The camera has a frame rate of 120 fps and allows for low light operation, and there are four mics that include background audio suppression, making clear audio chat possible without the need of a headset. Actually curious to see how this game does. Brian Ashcraft More »
