Sony has been hard at work (or hitting the bong hard) creating two new tripped out PlayStation Eye diversions that will soon be enlightening PlayStation Store with, like, a totally cosmic groove. Tori Emaki and the aptly named Mesmerize both utilise PS Eye in different ways, although both are focused on creating a very mellow experience that's sure to increase the peace in any household.
Although both high-definition consoles currently have camera peripherals out on the market, it seems Sony and Microsoft have two rather different strategies regarding the integration of cameras into the console entertainment experience. Join The Exploding Barrel as we compare the cameras' features, the roles they play for the two consoles, and the the variety of applications that take advantage of these ocular add-ons.
yeah the PS Eye is great, although it looks kinda weird
and once again, another feature is done better on PS3 with more capabilities and quality and the software to go along with it- Trials of Topoq is great fun
and it will be great fun when Sony implement that feature that lets you control the XMB with the Eye
I can't argue with you here. Sony has done so much more with there camera than MS has. It seems like MS is using theres primarily as a communication device while Sony is using it for both communication device and game peripheral.
yeah man i don't know why you hate the PS3 so much
in a couple of your posts you said stuff like KZ2 is one of your most anticipated titles of 08 and you like stuff like the eye
it seems to me that you like your PS3 more than you let on
consoles, but neither of the cams. I have considered picking up one of them however. It sounds as if the ps3 model is better, but all my friends are on live, not psn so that kinda sucks. does the ps3 cam plug into a usb like live vision? that would be another downer because I have the 40 bg ps3 which means only 2 usb and both on the front. I guess the same could be said for my 360 though because i have wireless adapter plugged into the back of my 360. thanks for the write up, gives me something to ponder...def think its cool up to 6 people can have web chat at once on the eye, this is a feature we've been asking 4 4ever on live
Yeah dude, it's USB, but you should be able to get a cheap adapter at Radio Shack. May go for a powered adapter, just to be safe... and I'm not sure if the mic will work if you go through a passthrough. (USB extension cords don't allow sound data to pass through, I hear.) Good luck though.
The Eye is a must have though. The Vision is really just a fun extra, but the Eye is fantastic. So long Blue-Tooth headset!
i got one from local ebay seller. i couldnt find it at all UK's store. They were all out of stock.
That this article appears just when i was considering getting a PS Eye...how strange.
I also love the part where it said " instances of flailing your arms around like a jackass", who wasn't thinking of the Wii...COM'ON!
IGN writes, "Anyone who hopped on to the PlayStation Store yesterday -- presumably looking for the Warhawk expansion or perhaps some of the free holiday add-ons for Folklore and MotorStorm -- probably saw a few new PlayStation Eye games now available for download. We decided to snag a copy of Mesmerize, a simple piece of software by Sony Computer Entertainment's London Studio, and see what it's all about."
OMG, I remember this one from the PS Eye trailer. Looks really cool and interesting and for 2 bucks, it's more than welcome.
Its annoying these games have been on the EU store for ages, yet the standalone PS EYE is yet to be released D: and i don't fancy forking out £55 for Eye Of Judgement
and really don't recommend it. It doesn't feature any of the cool levels (only 5 of them) that were shown at TGS.
I agree but for a few bucks I wont complain... I did still hope to see that one level where the guy was building what looked like Cities with his hands... Over all though I prolly wont ever use it again :(
Tori-Emaki is a relaxing interactive experience designed for use with the PlayStation Eye camera. That's right, it's not a game, it's an experience. And a really nice one.
Using your hands in front of the webcam, you guide a flock of black birds around an ancient oriental work of art. It's a magical journey filled with beautiful drawings, animation and sound. You may actually feel like your part of the flock, if you try.
I remember Okami when i see this. I love Amateratsu =:3 , yes its just like a screensaver but seems relaxing. Thx to share this find.
so you can use your finger in tori imaki to move. who needs a wiimote??
And as for mesmerize well wow, total bongfest
OOhh yeah This "game" looks Amaazing!! :) I love my eyetoy and will love that playstation eye even more! :)
Mesmerize looks insanely SWEEET. I can't believe what I saw. That game is the future. Simply seriously amazing.
Far out, man.
Wiifitness has some competition, that guy was flapping his hands like crazy.
