    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

    I was kind of hoping this would succeed, having bought an eyetoy on sale... but looking at it sitting there unused most of the time.

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."

    Shame, indeed. #eyepet

    @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

    @WhiteMage says fix the comments grr: The PSP has b-wireless. First step in getting "proper" wireless multiplayer on the PSP? Upgrade the hardware to g- or even n-wireless.

    And you gotta ask yourself this: would you really want to play over wifi when you're riding the bus or train? The PSP is a portable system, but right now, the infrastructure needed to play multiplayer as you want it does not travel with you. In effect, playing with others on a system like the PSP is pretty much limited to passing the system around, ad-hoc wireless, or through Ad-Hoc Party.

    If anything, limiting games to ad-hoc only is a design consideration rather than just bullshit.

    I'd like to see true infrastructure multiplayer on the PSP, but given the limitations of the system and the infrastructure required for multiplayer, I don't think that that'll happen. Not in the generation, at least.

    @Altersparck: So wait.

    Wireless makes no sense, because it's portable.

    But forcing you to have a PS3 where you have to be at home and around an extra 300+ dollar hunk of console to play, makes more sense?

    The most you gotta spend is maybe $20 for a wireless dongle, have a compatible wireless router or have access to a desktop and laptop.

    Just one of those setups work and it'll save you the $300 for a new PS3
