Wonder book?

J.K. Rowling is a terrible author so that kills any interest that may have existed for this project.

I honestly don't see the point in this wonderbook, I have thought hard about it but I still don't see who this could possibly be geared towards and it seems like too much equipment to get going. PS3, PSeye, PS move, and now a PS book?

I think it would work well with MR people and diehard fans cause I mean if they made a book for Avatar: TLA where you could waterbend, earthbend, firebend, and airbend heck I would get it right away.

The Wonderbook idea itself is great for kids. The idea is sound, Sony is just not really up on supporting these kinds of things after they launch. Wonderbook needs regular new content in order to be successful. Sony has been terrible at keeping the PSN store updated with new content. The wonderbook needs a dependable weekly streem of content for it to be successful and catch on.

It will fail because Sony will launch it and forget about it. It will leave people wondering when new content will be arriving for their book.

Anything with move... No

omg it was so annoying to watch maybe a 3-5 year old will have fun with it but yea bad lol

As long as Rowling suddenly makes characters Gay or does other things to piss off parent groups and challenge the closed-minded pwomps out there, I'll enjoy watching the fall-out... But I agree with the Lion King Guy; Anything with Move, NO. I'd rather the kids read an actual BOOK, as well.

:lol:

My nephew got the stupid Move controller set-up for Xmas last year, and it sits unused after about a week. His Granny is incredulous as to why - "But, I thought the Wii was so much FUN?"

Well, yeah... They actually made a few titles that WORKED for that system which were fun to play, Gran'...

:lol:

To all the people who posted "You Gotta Give It (Move) Some TIME..."

Has it been out long enough for you to admit it's a failure and that Sony had no real intention of supporting it in any meaningful sense NOW?

:?

Even "Sorcery" sucks carpet lint, and that was the one great Hope I had. "Tiger Woods" doesn't even really capitalize on it... The whole system is a blood clot, and each successive crap-fest game that comes out for it only makes me shake my head harder in disbelief...

This'll be good if it's integrated into classrooms. After all, most teachers are so stuck in the old way of teaching that kids, even young kids are incredibly bored. Why not integrate techology into class, especially technology that kids grow up with.

The only thing that seemed confusing was how it actually is used as a reading tool. I'm all for the interactivity of it, I just hope it has actual reading integrated into as well. Though, with the proper support that probably won't be an issue. What will be an issue is parents complaining their kids are being exposed to HP in schools, because we all know magic is real and is the end of humanity itself.

I just hope Sony supports it, as the Vita is pretty much useless at the moment and nothing overly interesting is being released on it that can't be purchased on consoles.

Basically, the Wonderbook is cool if used correctly, especially if teachers are willing to learn it, as nobody wants to sit there and listen to a teacher ramble on about something (hopefully this technology will go beyond books and integrate all sorts of different topics for elementary school, because it seems like it can be a lot more interesting than a Smart Board).

Well, I certainly would have found it boring as a kid. I'm not seeing this catch on at all, there are far more interesting things for kids to play.

Now if the wonderbook involved porn, it would be the greatest selling game of all time.

No idea why they put so much time into this at the conferenceGHO5T-

interested in this, I liked a lot the animated books when I was younger and the whole "book" (as it can be used with different stories/universes, not just the Rowling one) concept can be used in a variety of ways for mixing storytelling and gaming fun

It isn't my type of game, but I think it could be, especially for younger gamers.

I think they'll make back whatever they spent developing it with that Harry Potter thing and then we'll never hear about it again.

I'm guessing you missed out on Harry Potter ... That's unfortunate

For the crowd it is actually aimed towards (little kids), I think it will do well. Will it sell well to us gamers? hell no, but then again, it isn't aimed at us gamers.

Im not normaly one to favor the kiddy or casual stuff but i thought it looked pretty dang cool my self. prob not something i would run out and buy move plus wounderbook ect for but still it looked prtty cool. and i love J.K.R and the H.P series of books also. might be a hit.

I watched the E3 but'm still confused as to what the book is supposed to do.....

What I find surprising is that Sony didn't choose to make an improve Eye camera before releasing something like this. MS will surely develop a competitor that uses Kinect if Wonderbook turns out to be successful.

Not without an HD camera. The current eye's image is too poor and grainy for this, I think.

that demo at E3 too way too long, and looks extremely boring

Video games essentially already are reinventions of storybooks. This seems pretty pointless to me.
