I was hoping for it to succeed, but one of the folks expecting it to fail.
I was one of the people who bought Eye of Judgment, and the game struggled to even read the cards correctly on a set placemat. Expecting it to react realistically would have been absurd.
Of course, I don't expect any better from Natal, as it still suffers from that "real world" problem. #eyepet
@Ad-hominem: Then again, I remember a lot of people being wary of the Wii and its technology when it was first announced.
I know, I know, they're entirely different projects in terms of scope and depth, but there's still room to be pleasantly surprised.
That said, emotiv's headset dealy has been described by various sources I generally trust as either good or bad, so the jury's still out on that one.
I don't think non-traditional gaming is a necessity yet, but pushing the boundaries past the virtual-reality shooter of 1995 county fairs is a welcome change. #eyepet
@Laute: Using the Wii as a comparison isn't a particularly good idea, when you realize that there are still people complaining about poor responsiveness with Wii controls. #eyepet
@PoweredByHentai: What about it? It's for people that like to stay in touch that know each other really well and have a reason to want to see each other. None of that applies to me at all. #eyepet
@MrBionic: Well, if you don't have anyone to keep tabs on from time to time, then yeah, I can see how the EyeToy isn't going to be all that useful to you. I guess you'll have to wait until the Sphere comes out so that you can grief your LBP buddies. #eyepet
@PoweredByHentai: Yah, I pretty much only got it because it was on sale and I wanted to make rude gestures at people in Burnout: Paradise, but that got old really fast, and I meant to get LBP at the time, so I could import textures and stuff, but never did end up getting LBP. I should really do that. #eyepet
Yeah, it's what I feared. Not just the technical problems, but also the absence of design. Media Molecule, Insomniac or Naughty Dog (teams that know how to make good platforming games). It's a half-baked tech demo, and its potential will probably never be fully achieved as SCE will file this under "Big Failures."
@FP_slomo788: well its just because this game is not a priority for SCE. Thats why ND, Insomniac, Molecule and top tier developers won't do this title (or any on PS eye).
There is just no potential interest in camera yet (or market), but for kids this will be a nice present.
If your child will smile, then its enough about this game. #eyepet
@Golgari: I agree 100%, but (well I guess 99%) I think everyone should still expect quality from the game, even if it's targeted at children. If they will be frustrated by the technical problems or if they will get bored after one hour of doing the same things, then it was not ready to be sold.
But then again, who can predict how a child will react? Maybe they will love it all the way after all. #eyepet
"You know something's wrong when the tutorial tells you to empty your living room of furniture ..."
Yeah ... that's a pretty big issue there. I was hoping I'd be able to run the pet on my coffee table, but I'm not going to move everything when I want to turn the thing on.
Natal is supposed to be able to adapt to furniture in the room, so it'll be interesting to see how it compares ... whenever it is actually released. #eyepet
@jayntampa:
This is proof of the technical disadvantage that the PS Eye has when compared to Natal.
A regular webcam + software can only go so far... #eyepet
Nice. Now developers' constant fallback on making any co-op/multiplayer local wifi only can be changed to something that's more flexible for the average North American player. #adhocparty
especially to those poor, lonely Monster Hunter Freedom Unite players
It's not THAT hard to create a Japanese account and download this, but it is awesome that NA is getting it, hopefully EU will get one soon! #adhocparty
Freedom Unite was supported by the Japanese Adhoc party. Anyone that cared enough to brave the tutorial guide pretty much got to play MHFU over adhoc party since June. It's sort of just convenient now that it's in English. #adhocparty
