I'm talking about the PS3's eye toy, and the 360 Camera, games like Burnout allowed you to send a picture to people you beat in a race and such, you can just send a pic through the 360's dashboard, and the most exiciting one coming in my opinion is Little Big Planet allowing you to take a picture and use the picture on stickers. It's pushed me to ask the question why haven't we've seen more of this?
I'm not talking about eye toy psn games, and the likes just mainstream games that allow for this hardware to deepen the custom experience, like Forza had a super deep custom decal system, but not allowing you to use the camera for decals, kind of sucks. Midnight Club apperantly will have a deep decal system, and they haven't alluded to the camera being used. And Guitar hero will have all custom art for album covers, tatoos yet no mention of camera support. And what about face mapping too?
Maybe they are afraid of crude images, but apperantly at least on the 360 I could send anyone I'm playing with an image through the dashboard anyway, also I could just say something crude, like everyone does all the time. Maybe they are afraid of copyright laws, but Forza's decal system had plenty of people recreating copyrighted images, and Guitar Hero's song maker will have tons of people churning out cover songs. Plus they could simply restrict the use of custom decals in online play, so it would only ever be seen by you. So there is no reason more people haven't used these awesome accesories, escpeically first party games were the Sony and M$ would love to see greater sales of their hardware.
What do you think?
