The Playstation Eye: The Coolest Gaming Apparatus!

Playstation Eye

After seeing the Eye of Judgment I got more & more interested in the Playstation Eye and what it can do... And let me tell you from what I've seen this is the most Awesome thing I've ever seen...

The PlayStation Eye is capable of capturing standard video with frame rates of 60 hertz at a 640x480 pixel resolution, and 120 hertz at 320x240 pixels, which is "four times the resolution" and "two times the frame-rate" of the Eyetoy, according to Sony. The PS Eye has also a built-in Microphone which allows the peripheral to be used for speech recognition and audio chat in noisy environments without the use of a headset.

Now most of you will think WHO CARES, ITS JUST A CAMERA RIGHT? Well I also don't care about the freakin resolution what we care is about the games that it's compatible with...

There are 3 main PS Eye Games including The Eye of Judgment, about 75% of people who own a PS3 don't know anything about the 2 other games I'm Talking about... To break it down to you guys I'm going to show you in detail what the 2 other games are.

1. EyePet

EyePet

This game was announced at this year's Game Convention; the game uses the Playstation eye camera to allow a virtual pet to interact with people and objects in the real world. Using augmented reality the simian-like creature appears to be aware of its environment and surroundings and reacts to them accordingly. The player can place objects in front of the animal and the game will interpret what the object is and respond to in. For example, if the player rolls a ball towards it, it will jump out of the way to avoid being hurt. It will also react to the player's actions and sound allowing the user to, for example, tickle the animal or clap their hands to startle it.

Why not look at a video of this game?

I know, I know Very Cool... the very first time I saw this I was like... How can they do that, is that possible? :D

2. Eyedentify

Eyedentify

Eyedentify is a game where the player is the controller of a team of game characters using the PSEye. The game was first announced at E3 2005, accompanied by a trailer.

The game has not been heard of since its announcement at E3 2005, and it is unknown when new information will be available regarding the title. Recently, IGN's information on this game changed to reveal a release date sometime in 2008, no other information from the developers has been released. GameStop has begun taking preorders on Eyedentify and has a slated release date of February 1, 2009.

The E3 2005 trailer:

This game sounds cool, but the trailer just doesn't give much... The concept is weird too; I think this game will be cancelled as no info has been released on it since 2005!

Well there you have it a peak of the future of the Playstation Eye, you guys might agree or disagree if this is the coolest gaming apparatus (Wii Lovers) but in my opinion other apparatuses have not evolved gameplay in a way like the PSEye... For every PS3 Owner out there this is a must-have for your Playstation 3.

N.B: I Bought Heavenly Sword, currently in Chapter 4, Game is a blast :D
