Forums - Sony - Eye 2.0 required to be plugged in?

I wouldn't be surprised. The very little we've seen of the PS4 makes me think that they're at least going to bundle the EyeToy with every system, even if it's not going to be required to be "plugged in" at all times.

I don't get these extra things. They're likely going to ramp up the cost greatly and as of yet I see nothing to actually "enhance" the games. That could change though so I'll reserve judgement.


Its no different from nintendo introducing the Wii mote or gamepad with each system. The intention is that it will be used in games for greater input but of course thats ultimately up to developers. 

I understand that, and if it happens to truly make a difference then good. But thus far I have seen little evidence to suggest it can be used for anything other than gimmicky minigames and the such like. 



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

I am fairly convinced that Sony said that all systems come with their new eye thing (and a headset)

Having said that, I very much doubt that it will be required at all times and we have certainly not seen anything from Sony to suggest that

I think some fun, novel experiences can be created with really precise body detections, facial recognition and finger tracking (not sure if either camera do finger tracking). Voice controls could be the ultimate UI interface depending on how accurate it is and most importantly neither camera's detract from the form factor or function of the controller. But we'll have to see where they take it at e3. 



eye 2.0 meh..useless feature. focus on games pls sony

Nah

The PS Eye isn't heavily integrated within the OS like Kinect is. Xbox 1 seems to be built around Kinect. XboxOne will be more Kinect driven than the 1st Kinect on 360

The only thing PS Eye seems to push right now on PS4 is the addition of seeing where the player is via the light bar


How could you possibly know that without even seeing the OS? Hell, the console or PSeye haven't even been shown.

 

You don't. The VGleaks is the closest thing we have and that is only a rumor.

I see some people in full damage control.

And I am wondering why. Give motion-control another chance, perhaps it's not that bad :)

Isn't binary a Sony fan anyway? Not even sure he knows what he's on about.

Wasn't talking about him.
