Viva Pinata 2 to use the Live Vision Camera

I member of NeoGAF has posted details about his preview of Viva Pinata, he writes - VP2 uses the Vision Camera in combination with physical cards sorta like Eye of Judgement. It basically scans a small code on the card, when it's being held up in front of the camera, and this can both insert custom designed pinatas, unlock buildings or abilities, change the weather and many other things. We were told how Rare had designed a moose that got a big, red nose only around christmas time... and this could be passed around with these cards.

1.2 - why
the vision cam is only going to be used to detect the barcode, it's not like it's a 3d card game ala EoJ.

Microsoft rep: "what are other ways, so that we can make more money?"

Microsoft rep#2: "hmm, How about selling DLC content in terms of cards"

Gates: "Classic idea. Kids will eat it up like chocolate"

Microsoft rep#3: "Not only that, but those poor suckers would also have to buy a live vision camera."

@1.4 the cards are for lil kids who want to trade animals there wont be any extra cost like EOJ. you can print custom created animals onto cards.

3.1 - not a card game at all
but the barcode will be used to let players store custom viva's as a barcode and put them on a forum or card or something. It's actually kinda neat, if not a bit too complicated for the target audience.

the vision cam will be used to upload things into the game. The game is still the same though.

Just say no! Video games should be VIDEO GAMES not some 2nd rate Dungeons & Dragons knock off. IMO Eye of Judgment is about as appealing for a video game as a roadkill sandwich is for lunch. Cards are for board games NOT video games.

"IF" this is true.. I believe part of the hook to the VP theme song goes " Viva Pinaaaaaaaaaata Dont beat'em, Join'em". LOL

9 - Cards in Games
The Eye of Judgment is a great card game with video game interactivity. One of the only games that my wife wants to play.

This could be kinda cool for Viva Pinata. I still have no interest in the game though. VP is a little to childish and cute for me. Kind of like R&C.

And I think that Nintendo was the first console maker to try and use cards with video games. Sony was just the first this gen, even though they have done the best job with it so far.
