Gotta laugh at MS fans who think this is anything like the Kinect and XboxOne. Is PS4 Eye required to be hooked in at ALL times? No. If the PS4 Eye breaks, will the system no longer work or allow me play games? It's not required, so no. Does its inclusion show that Sony is focusing more on casual gaming over core? Nope. Can't really say the same thing about Kinect and MS. Anything to justify MS's decisions and focus, I guess.

Personally, I can't wait to try out the new camera. Motion gaming is definitely not the main way I game, but it's fun with the right games. It will be interesting to see how much the have improved head tracking.

Being hooked in at all times is a bad argument since it can be turned off and has privacy settings. That is the point after all.

Saying the X1 won't work/play games if Kinect breaks? Now thats just baseless propaganda.

If this is true, it means they are bundling a optional accessory with the PS4, just like Kinect being with every X1. Simple and basic comparison.

And funnily enough, you tout PS Eyes improved head tracking, when kinect 2.0 can do that and so much more, yet you condem it.

Gotta laugh at uninformed fans that use double standards....

Baseless propaganda? Open your eyes man:

"Xbox's UK marketing director Harvey Eagle has said that the console will not function without Kinect connected. 'Kinect DOES require to be connected to Xbox One in all cases, yes'"

They are open, I just see context better.

"without kinect attached". thismeintiel referred to a "broken" kinect preventing your X1 from working. A broken kinect can be still connected, just not working...pretty much the equivalent to you turning it off in privacy settings.

So, just because it breaks, doesn't mean it is disconnected.

This information tells us that if the game requires PSEye functionality like Dance Central then it wont support remote play for Vita

 

I hope you didnt think that this somehow confirmed that PSEye is required/mandatory. Maybe you misread it?

Even so, it would make sense to include it. 100% market penetration would mean standard video chat with friends and a inherently higher install base for Move-specific titles. And it would mean Move is less expensive, since the camera is allready purchased.

We shall see at E3

Hopefully not. Otherwise that's time being wasted on E3.

I'd rather they include an official headset with every system than a camera.

Looks like you are in luck. Every PS4 comes with a bundled headset.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

That's fantastic news! Now PSN will get the same rep as Live for having opinionated children screaming during COD

Standard headsets on 360 kinda did that lol.

I'm sure i heard they wanted to bundle move with every system before, maybe that's why. But the PS4 Dualshock also has a light bit on it, similar to how the PS move was. Who knows?
