Hey everyone, Jason 'USMCOgre' Greeson from FPQA back to give you EOJ fans another Set 3 sneak peek. Set 3 is almost here and with it comes 100 new cards and tons of new strategies waiting to be discovered. Here's a heads up on some of the new cards and how they interact with the cards you've already been playing with. More Set 3 info to come next week when Set 3 launches on PSN!
Chris Buffa (Modojo): Augmented reality is a simulated version of the real world that has become a staple of television broadcasts, most notably as the yellow first down marker in football games. You've also seen it on the news and reality shows like American Idol and Dancing with the Stars, whenever the overlay appears, urging you to vote. Suffice to say, it's improved the viewing experience tenfold.
Vita should do good for Aug Reality. The new fighting game looks cool. I would love to have a ghost hunting camera game. Like a Fatal Frame.
AR has seen relatively low success because of mainly two reasons:
1. Low key marketing attempts.
2. Limitations: Low interactivity or bound by physical glyphs cards.
However Sony did show off an impressive tech demo that showcased AR that properly reads real world spatial data, which might lead to better interactivity and applications. The fact that it was demonstrated on a mobile phone means greater audience reach.
AR has really only caught on in the last 4-5 year and it's popularity gradually rising. It's still too early to start comparing it to traditional video game mediums when that has had over 30 years to mature.
Invizimals is not really a "blip", it is actually pretty popular and has arguably the largest community for an AR game ever (due to the fact it's got multiplayer).
AR games are not to different in nature from motion controls in that they require movement from the players side. In that respect, stuff like Mario on the Wii might have done well but, there are still many IP's that work and sell nicely on motion control gaming like Wii or Move so, I don't buy that AR needs an old IP to do well.
Also, the guy stated how silly one would look playing an AR game on the 3DS than states how cool a Pokemon game would look. That is either bias or inconsistency in his/her argument. xD
It doesn’t just do 3D – could the 3DS’s camera features usher in a new era of “augmented reality” games? Stuart Young from Nintendo3DS.org.uk speculates.
Sony has decided to discontinue online support for 2007 PlayStation 3 title Eye of Judgement.
The PlayStation Eye/trading card hybrid will see its last online game on 30th September this year.
NOOOOOOO!
I love this game. The online is the best part about it. This is the worst news!
Wow. That's terrible news for people who invested in the cards. I have about $100 worth of cards, but I know a few people who put a lot more into it.

How many people do you think still play this game?
This is stupid, honestly just do a re-launch it with Move.
That's a serious question
I actually play eoj religously. I play with my son on Saturday afternoons. He adores it. We have alot of great eoj cards.
he watches cartoon network & really loves Bakugon right now. He's 11 now
so he brings his bakugon cards to school & duels it out with friends. Card dueling
is popular with the kids bro but to be tottally honest since playing my younger brother had got involved
& he is 28 & we have a blast online. Its become a rivalry.
The developers are obviously supporting the game so that shows me there are alot of fans still playing.
I never had a problem finding anyone online. I played against this italian guy who had some good freaking cards
but we had the language barrier thing going on ya know.
Eoj is a friends game first & foremost. It can get expensive because its addicting. Very cool for when kids are at the house. I can't wait to get set.3 & build a new deck of powerhouses. Gamestop & toys r us are really selling out these cards so psn better lower the price this time.
I'm excited.
check it out. Sign up for www.eojmarket.com
These guys see themselves as guilds. Become part of the BooM!
EOJ is that dam good.
I'm still waiting on that email confirmation though ?
