Forums - Sony - PS4 will be bundled with next gen PS Eye, report claims - Head and hand tracking

Making the console unnecessarily expensive - great move!



Around the Network

Pffft, like this is unexpected... Of course the camera will be bundled with every PS4. This is the way of Sony having a "camera system" just like the competition. They have to match the competition so consumers won't go to them thinking they're offering "more" for the same or similar price.

And to those thinking Sony would make the Eye a requirement to play games or mandatory as part of the interface: LMAO, the PSEye is no Kinect, you won't be talking to your TV and any flagging of arms you would do in motion-supported games will be with a controller in your hand.

I would rather have no PSEye and PS4 be cheaper.

@yosp I've just read all PS4 games will use the Remote Play feature. Is this true? I think it'd be great for both PS4 and Vita.

@MrDaWe Yes, it's true unless the game requires specific hardware like the camera. It will be great to play PS4 games on PS Vita.


This pretty much confirms not all games will require the camera (for gameplay, anyway). Oh yeah, this also confirms remote play on Vita for all PS4 games, lol.

"How HORRIBLE! They're just shoving the Eye down our throats by including it with every PS4! Controlling stuff with gestures and voice is soooooo stupid! Imagine how many gigs of RAM they could have added if they didn't include the Eye!"

This is the reaction from Sony fans, right? I mean, seeing how much vitriol has been thrown at the new Kinect, Sony fans must be devastated by this news. RIGHT?

No?

Hmm...what does that say then about all the hatred towards Kinect 2.0? If navigating the PS4 UI with the Eye sounds cool, then you can't really fault Microsoft for wanting to do the same thing with their own camera technology.

You know this doesn't say it will be bundled with all consoles, right?

Gran Turismo 5 was bundled, but that doesn't mean you couldn't buy a PS3 without it...

Until Sony say otherwise, I will firmly believe that they will give you a choice.

If its official, I would be most interested in the Sony community reaction. Its not 100%, but some posters here have allready rationalized it and Sony is yet again the good guy for doing exactly what MS is doing.

Apples, oranges.

Ps4 Eye won't be required to be always on, there is extremely little chance it will be an integral part of the OS.
Cost wise, Ps eye +  Move controller was already a lot cheaper then Kinect. Kinect 2.0 uses more advanced tech, ps4 eye only adds a second cheap webcam and most likely won't ship with a move controller.

We'll know at E3 anyway, then let's start complaining.

I'm more worried about the requirement that every game needs to support remote play. What is that going to do for nice crisp 1080p UI's if they need to work on 960x544. And what about the missing shoulder buttons on Vita. The experience is completely different on 60" or 5".



just disconnect it. Problem solved.



I like PS4's balance better than XBone as far as motion & HW tech. More flexible it seems and not mandatory like Kinect.



I thought this was obvious already. I know I included it as fact in my comparison thread.

EDIT: Crap. Stupid necro'd thread....
