Sony: Eye Toy has more potential than Wii Remote

The PS3's ability to track the position of an object in 3D space using the new Eye Toy offers up more potential for motion-sensing gaming than the Wii Remote, Sony told CVG yesterday.

Eye Toy card battle game, Eye of Judgement, boasts some pretty impressive optical recognition technology that not only identifies a card (from a selection of hundreds) and summons the right monster, but it can track the movement of that card - including its distance from the camera and tilt orientation - and keep that monster positioned correctly on it.

Game director Kazuhito Miyaki told CVG: "All of the different Eye Toy games that we've made so far and the wide range [of gameplay] that we have delivered shows that the camera isn't the key device, it's what we do with it that's important."

When asked how this compared to the motion tracking opportunities offered by the Wii Remote, he went on the say: "In Eye of Judgement it's all about summoning the creatures. With other games it'll be about creating a whole different dynamic so, in a way, you could say there is much more potential and ability in our technology."

lol

what a claim, hopefully they stay true to their word, havent played a wii yet, but from what i've seen the ps3's sixaxis controller sucks in terms of motion sensing, perhaps the eye toy can make up for it xD

anything is better than halo, but sony hasnt said its better than halo.

all games consoles are toys

actually if used correctly the eyetoy can offer more immersive gameplay. For all of the Wii sports games could be done on the eyetoy [ps2 or ps3], the software can track multiple colours at on time, two wrist bands would provide perfect motion tracking.

the PS3 does not cost £450... and never has.
the PS3 starter pack is £425 including two games and an extra controller. that means the console costs £310. still not cheap i agree, but dont talk nonsense.

no the ps3 does cost £450 it says so right here in my argos catalog

sony said some thing about beating the top fps with killzone 2 (and the top fps was halo 2)

the eye top sucks why would i want to jump up and down 7 times just to get the game to respond (yes i have the ps2 eye toy)

yes lots of things are better than halo but killzone is not one of them.

the same argos which repeatedly advertises correct information?

The automatically updating hard-copy of the catalog? thats completely void of connection to current information?

not following a much publicized RRP?

i highly doubt that.
