PS3 eye toy

I found this video a little while ago it appears to be a possible commercial of how the PS3 will use the EyeToy.
The authenticity of this video has not been confirmed, so we really don't know how to react to this.

Atari Founder Likes Xbox360, Disses PS3

I just ran across this article.....
Here are a few peices from it.
==========================

Q: What about Sony’s PlayStation 3 Strategy?

A: I think Sony shot themselves in the foot… there is a high probability [they] will fail. The price point is probably unsustainable. For years and years Sony has been a very difficult company to deal with from a developer standpoint. They could get away with their arrogance and capriciousness because they had an installed base. They have also historically had horrible software tools. You compare that to the Xbox 360 with really great authoring tools [and] additional revenue streams from Xbox live… a first party developer would be an idiot to develop for Sony first and not the 360. People don’t buy hardware, they buy software.

Q: But what about Sony’s success with the PlayStation and PS2? They sold more than 100 million of each system.

A: It wasn’t anything brilliant that they did. With the PS and PS2 it was timing. They had the right pricing at the right time [and were] almost the accidental winner. It would not surprise me if a year from now they’ll be struggling to sell 1 million units. [Factoring in the PS3’s price], I think in the U.S. the number of early adopters you have is actually around 300,000.

Nolan, you have a lot of guts.
This coming from you....
Atari should know about failure, they failed miserably with the Jagur and the Lynx.
Granted, perhapse Bushnell was gone or at least on his way out the door with those two systems.
$600 is NOT to much for a console, no wait.... It's technically a computer.
Times have changed since the 70's and early 80's Bushnell.
Stay with uWink, you belong there now.

 

Virtual Villagers Demo

I tried out the demo for Virtual Villagers I downloaded from Gamespot.com and I have to say it wasn't that bad.

There are a few concerns that I have over it though....
The pace of the game is SLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOWWWW.
I really hope they improve this, because I don't want to sit around forever for the villagers to make a little bit of progress....
The graphics are rather simple, but as we know from games in the past...
Having incredible graphics don't always make great games, and games with sub-par graphics can be good or great games.
I do hope they fix how a mother holds her child (infant) because the kid looks like it is floating in place by anti gravity and the mother's hands never touch it.
(But that's only a minor problem.)
The A.I could use some tweeking before they put this thing out, they A.I is so-so, it's not to bad and it's not to good.
The villagers can be dumb as bricks sometimes.

This game looks like it may have potential, let's just hope they don't drop the ball on this title.
