"It's real, folks. We first learned of EyePet over a year ago, and approached it with both excitement and skepticism. When we had a chance to see EyePet running on PS3 live, we were blown away at how what we originally thought was a concept video had been completely real all along."
"Perhaps it's best summed up with video, as EyePet truly needs to be seen to be understood. You can do so many things with the critter, and his incredibly detailed and lifelike animation makes this "game" all the more believable. For example, you can try sweeping your arm across the bottom of your TV view, and the pet will jump over your arm. When your pet goes to sleep, you can clap loudly and get it to wake up ... (although it might be grumpy!)"
Just got glowing impressions from Joystiq, anyway, which kind of shocked me. Not sure what I think... hard to imagine what trying it would feel like -- I don't think they show off the way it works very well in the video, but it is intriguing.
Is it true this is coming out later this year? Or is that pure rumor?
What do you guys think? Obviously a gimmick, but gimmick worth 20/40/60 bucks?
