Arstecnica: "One of the things we've been trying to play since we got to PAX was Eye of Judgment. While I've talked to one of the producers of the game at the last E3 and I saw the demo at the E3 before that, I still haven't sat down and played an entire game straight through. On the last day of the show, in the press-only hour at the exhibition hall, we talked to Christy Newton, the Director of Marketing for the game, and she was able to sit down with us at one of the tables and let Frank and I play against each other. "This area is the coffin," she told us, pointing to where used cards and killed creatures go. "
"Get used to that," Frank said menacingly, and it was on. "
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
PSI Writes:
"Creature Defense places gamers in a variety of stunningly illustrated worlds where they are tasked with defending their land from invading attackers and we've got multiple download tokens to giveaway!"
For people who have not played the Eye of Judgment for awhile it's time to assemble your stand and dust off your cards. With the new Biolith Rebellion 3 expansion pack you have additional in-depth storylines for each of the four elements and decks from all three sets. These features are easily accessible from the main menu. The new cards give players amazing new creatures with enhanced abilities and attack options that allow you to submerge yourself in additional modes of game play. Keep in mind, you still have to register every single card with your playstation eye, easily downloadable from the PLAYSTATION(R) Network and purchase additional booster packs from you local game store.
The PS Eye is certainly great and the game looks cool. Hopefully it is more than a simple card game with camera. (The interactions with monsters on camera is seriously awesome though)
OMG did anyone else catch the end, Star wars and Transformer cards could be on the way, they've demoed the game to george lucas...
those card junkies, they spend thousands on these things and this is a reality for those who wanted to bring their Yugioh dreams to life, this game would sell
It's spelled "JUDGMENT"
Oh man.
altho playing it by yur self = a no no!
