Forums - Nintendo - Don't buy BOOM BLOX! EA removes head-tracking feature in BOOM BLOX!

I think SONY acquired the rights for headtracking. Anyone seen the PS-eye demo of the thing in gametrailers?

end of core gaming days prediction:

 

E3 2006-The beginning of the end. Wii introduced

 

E3 2008- Armageddon. Wii motion plus introduced. Wii Music. Reggie says Animal crossing was a core game. Massive disappointment. many Wii core gamers selling their Wii.

 

E3 2010- Tape runs out

You've got to be kidding me >_> Your seriously not going to buy this game because it doesn't have head tracking of all things -_-; I honestly thought people were hyping this because it could have been... uh I dunno... fun? Thats a pitiful reason to not buy a game.



From 0 to KICKASS in .stupid seconds.

It is a EA game, I would not buy it for any reason.

Yeah, that demo was poor, or at least that video of the demo was... I think it was more because of presentation of the video than the actual implentation. To properly show off head tracking you have to move the camera with the head, which they didn't do.... I would like to see a proper video of the PS3 head tracking.

 Very unimpressive compared to the wii demo.

 I'm not the OP, but...  to me I was going to buy this game because of head tracking.  I am not going to skip the game because it lacks the head tracking, but now it has much less special about it, so it went from a must get to a meh, maybe...

 I can understand not going to enjoy it as much, I just can't understand how it goes from a must buy to a must NOT buy just because an easter egg was removed.

Now it going from a going to buy, to a I'm going to think about it, is understandable. 




If you drop a PS3 right on top of a Wii, it would definitely defeat it. Not so sure about the Xbox360. - mancandy

I don't understand this either. At most it was only a small easter egg. You would have ended up quite disappointed if that was your only reason for buying the game.



So you guys were going to buy a game because of a tiny Easter Egg that lets you look around a level?
