| shams said: I was pretty shocked when I read about the game, and thought "hang on - isn't it possible to copy cards?". They should have considered making the cards purely digital - but that would cancel out the need for the camera + gimmicks. Maybe a unique barcode for *every* card (serial number) with a simple CRC would have fixed it? ... I also heard from a guy at work who played/saw the game at TGS - that the camera recognition is, in general - terrible. Interesting to see how this one sells. |
You heard it from someone?
I presume by 'camera recognition' you are refering to the camera recognising the cards as they are placed down.
I watched a live feed for over 20 mins of a journalist playing the game. The camera recognised all the cards immediately, and smoothly, without any problems.
@Twesterm- the same journalist turned down the lights at one point, resumed playing for a minute, then realised the light was too dim for the people on the webcam to view it properly, so turned the lights back up.
So far as I could ascertain from my viewing, the camera seems to work very well, even under dim light conditions, and I certainly would not have classified it as 'terrible'.
