A little odd that this is bundled even without the camera. I didn't even realize this was a game either. Just thought it was a tech demo or something.

And now it makes more sense.




       

Nice

This is like the augmented reality on 3ds.

That way individuals will have something to mess around with on the camera without buying a game.

This will be the 1st form of getting people to buy PS Eye without real advertising



I already have the Eye preordered. Don't want to miss out on any of the PS4 interface improvements. However I won't be using voice control just controller tracking and motion typing like they showed in the interface video.

I wonder if Dance Central will be brought to the PS4 now? That was always the game i gave credit to on Kinect.

It always reminded me of a modern Bust-A-Groove. I guess it's because i'm into music and dancing

Sounds similar to welcome park on the vita

You get a park when you buy a Vita???! Well, I'm sold!



           

this means they want you to buy the camera

and probably an instaled video for us to see how that all works

quote me on that

Gives credit to the theory that they took out the camera (to be sold at a massive profit) in order to drive down PS3's launch cost.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Wait why does it now only make sense?

The Playroom is a collection of mini games that shows off the system. It doesnt just show off the camera. There are demos targeted towards using the control in interesting ways etc. I dont see this being sold as a stand alone game.

Also if you think the 11th hour is 6 months before launch then thats one way to look it at. But since the camera is no longer bundled they could have easily left out this software. Its quite obvious that this isnt worth a stand alone release price, and doesnt only use the camera.
