I just watched the Playstation Eye Trailer that was part of Sony's presentation at the Leipzig Games Convention, and is available for download on the Euro PS Store.

It's basically three trailers in one for three games that will feature the use of the new PS Eye and interactive technology where you are visually and "physically" placed in the games.

The games featured in the trailer are:
  • Operation Creature Feature
  • Trials of Topoq
  • Aqua Vita
This is the first time these games have been officially announced so that in itself was interesting, but these games along with the previously announced Eye of Judgment look really interesting.

(click HERE to see the E3 trailer in HD for Eye of Judgment)

Operation Creature Feature appears to share some visual similarities to Little Big Planet.

Trials of Topoq looks really interesting, especially the use of the PS Eye as the main control system.

Aqua Vita just looks like a fish tank... not really sure what the point of this is other than perhaps some kind of Sim Fish Tank game, but not sure why the PS Eye would be even necessary or interesting tool for such a game.

Here are the games so far that are supposedly going to use the PS Eye and/or camera support:
  • Aqua Vita
  • Burnout Paradise
  • Ember
  • Eye of Judgment
  • Eyedentify
  • Go Puzzle!
  • High Stakes on the Vegas Strip: Poker Edition
  • Operation Creature Feature
  • PES2008
  • SingStar: Next Gen
  • Skyblue
  • Snakeball
  • Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08
  • Trials of Topoq

I really like what I've seen so far, and like Little Big Planet, it's great seeing game developer's thinking way outside the box and coming up with some really interesting new types of games and/or utilizing the latest technologies. 👍👍

Is that Tiger Woods 08 with the PS eye? So would you stand in front and have you swing etc... that would be pretty awesome, PS eye sounds like a cool thing to get.
 
Sony just announced at TGS 07 the pricing and new info on Eye of Judgment:

5 Things You *Don’t* Know: THE EYE OF JUDGMENT
Posted on September 20, 2007 by Mark Valledor // Marketing Manager, SCEA
Over the last few past few months we’ve been touring the gaming convention scene with THE EYE OF JUDGMENT. We’ve received tremendous feedback from many of you at the San Diego Comic Con, Wizard World Chicago, GenCon & Penny Arcade Expo. There were lots of great questions out there, and we thought it would be good to do a quick recap of the “5 things you don’t know” about THE EYE OF JUDGMENT.

1. There is only one “E” in JUDGMENT
First off, not to sound like a middle school teacher, but I wanted to clarify the proper spelling of the word “JUDGMENT”. Notice that there is no “E” after “JUDG”. With apologies to our UK gamers, this is the correct spelling - according to Wikipedia (and no this definition wasn’t doctored by me or other SCE employee’s…figured I’d beat some of you to that snipe).

2. Pricing = $69.99
Yep, you’ve heard it here first. The SRP for THE EYE OF JUDGMENT software bundle in the US is $69.99. The bundle includes the following:
  • THE EYE OF JUDGMENT software (disc case, manual, Blu-ray disc)
  • PLAYSTATION Eye camera
  • Judgment (camera) stand
  • 9 Fields Battle Mat
  • (1) Starter deck (includes 30 Summoning Cards + 4 Function Cards)
  • (1) Booster pack (includes 8 randomly inserted Summoning Cards with one guaranteed to be rare or ultra rare)
Additionally, Summoning Cards will be sold separately in the form of Booster Packs and pre-constructed Theme Decks, available by Wizards of the Coast.
  • Booster Pack: SRP = $3.75
  • Pre-constructed Theme Deck: SRP = $14.99 (Five different Theme Decks available. Each fully playable and include a bonus Summoner’s Companion book with background, play tips and card lists)
3. Availability
THE EYE OF JUDGMENT will ship to North American stores on 10/23 to sync with a global launch by the end of October. With a global rollout, gamers on the PLAYSTATION Network will be able to battle against fellow EOJ players from around the world.

4. Expansion Packs
The October launch of THE EYE OF JUDGMENT and its Summoning Cards introduces the first in a long series of card sets available for play. Stay tuned for further announcements on upcoming expansion packs and new Summoning Cards. Each new set will consist of more powerful creatures and spells to introduce new strategies and gameplay mechanics to refresh the EOJ gaming experience.

5. Online Cheating
The most popular question we’ve heard revolves around online cheating. Mainly, “What’s going to prevent players from ‘stacking the deck’ when playing online?” – meaning, cheating your card draw so you get your best cards from the start. Fortunately, THE EYE OF JUDGMENT introduces a new paradigm in drawing cards when playing against your opponents online. First, you’ll have to register and save your Summoning Deck, offline. Then, when logged on, you select the Summoning Deck you wish to play. Once paired up with your opponent, the PS3 will automatically shuffle and randomly pull your cards for you. Once these cards are selected, you must pull these cards from your ‘physical’ deck and draw them to your hand and play the Summoning Cards on the Battle Mat, as normal.

Take a peek at a new video that we created to help outline this completely unique gaming experience merging the best of two worlds – video games and trading card battles. Enjoy!

What I am most surprised about and happy to see is the low cost considering it comes with the PlayStation Eye. 👍


Gametrailers has two new videos for EOJ:
 
You know this would have been great with pokemon cards... but unfortunately they are like 7 years or so late...

I think this game sounds interesting but again like any card collecting game its going to be rather expensive and time consuming so I dont think its for me.

However I do want that camera, I wonder how much its going to be separate?

Robin
 
OK, so I played Magic....in middle school. So, I can see where the audience for this might be, but there had better be something cooler than just a card game with a web cam.

As for Aqua Vita, the only other one I checked out, I was interested because I enjoy aquariums for their beauty, relaxtion, and as a hobby. However, it apparently has a total of seven fish with the coolest being maybe a lionfish or a clown trigger. I saw a good collection of clowns, and what appeared to be either a rabbitfish or a fox face. As an amateur aquarist I find the selection to be aimed at the Finding Nemo crowd more than the true aquarium crowd, although I don't think I saw a blue tang (Dorey) in the video. Funny that I did not see anything that would be a cycle fish, such as a damsel, which can be a brilliant blue. I also didn't see anything truly cool that would be restricted in some areas such as puffers, eels, or octopi. Honestly, those are the kinds of things that make an aquarium stand out.

I may sound like I am griping, but the use of the Eye camera seems kind of pointless with the grouping of relatively mindless scurrying for food types of fish. An eel will sit in his hole and watch you as you walk by. That would be an awesome thing to use the camera for. Or puffers have fully emotive looking eyes and will swim back and forth watching you. My blue-spotted puffer unnerves guests because he stares. It gives a good impression of near intelligence. He also eats from my hand. If you want to use a camera with an interactive aquarium you have to know aquariums for it to look right. Like all aquarium software, this does not look right, but looks like something made by a guy who has a friend with a cool aquarium.

As cute as some of the fish are, or deadly in the case of the lionfish (emulate that with the camera) the clown trigger is really the only fish I saw that is one I ever wanted for my own aquarium. And then it still doesn't stand up in coolness to him.

Give me something this cool...same type as mine.

If the Eye of Judgment takes off, Hasbro, Sony, and Wizards are going to profit big time.

Can you even buy the PS3 Eye yet or are these for the Eye Toy for PS2? Or are they the same thing? If it is a new camera, where is it, how much is it, and why can I only find it with EOJ (10/23)?

So many question... but no the PlayStation Eye isn't out yet (comes out both as a standalone for $40 and with EoJ for $70 on 10/23).

The following article may help answer some of your questions:

PlayStation Eye, A Little More Info…
Posted on Oct 10, 2007 by Sarah Stocker // Sr. Producer, SCEA


As many of you probably know, PlayStation Eye is coming, so I wanted to share a little bit about what that means for all you video-bloggers, gamers and would-be-actors and directors out there.

While most of you know that PlayStation Eye is being bundled with The Eye of Judgment game, I also wanted to let you know it’ll be out on store shelves as a stand-alone product, too. PlayStation Eye has a lot of cool features and capabilities.

One question I’ve seen asked a lot is: “What makes PlayStation Eye different from its predecessor, the EyeToy camera?” Lots. For a start, PlayStation Eye was engineered from the onset to perform well in low-light conditions. It also has a 2-setting zoom lens (normal and wide angle) with fixed focus. What does that mean? Well, a lot less fussing around than previous cameras. PlayStation Eye gets a sharp, clear picture at 640 x 480 resolution at 60 frames per second (at 320 x 240 it looks even better at 120 fps)! It picks up image and motion in varying light conditions and doesn’t need your help to focus.

It also has a built-in 4-microphone array that allows you to enjoy online AV chat and in-game voice chat, in what we’re calling a “natural environment,” meaning, not awkwardly leaning toward your camera or speaking abnormally loud just so the mic picks up your voice. IMHO, this microphone really does do away with the need for a headset.

The PlayStation Eye does an excellent job of filtering out background noise for a clearer voice connection, but it also has twice the frame rate than most standard cameras (this is part of what sets it apart from any other webcam or camera for this generation of consoles), allowing for faster and more natural tracking, responsiveness and smoothness. I think if you take all of this into consideration, PlayStation Eye is an ideal camera for AV Chat on your PS3.

All of this sounds like a bunch of technical and marketing speak, I know, but the difference is clear when you plug it in; AV Chats are smooth, crisp, and from my experiences, better than what I’ve seen on any PC. And of course, on the PS3, you can use AV Chat with anyone on your friends list, anywhere in the world.

AV Chat is just the start for the PlayStation Eye. Along with some very cool, free content and fun activities available to Eye users via the PSN, keep your “eye” out (sorry, I couldn’t resist) for some upcoming games that integrate the Eye in really innovative ways. While games like Eye of Judgment use the camera to play the game itself, other upcoming games like SingStar (PS3) take advantage of the PlayStation Eye’s video capabilities so you can do things like make your own personalized music videos to share with family and friends online. Soon you’ll see some of our favorite bits of PlayStation Eye fun on the PSN, designed to turn your TV into an eye-popping piece of interactive art that no one can ignore… more on those at launch!

Lastly, a great value-add you may not all know about is the EyeCreate Software. This will be available for FREE download on the PlayStation Store (yes! free! come get it!) and allows you to save, edit and share your PlayStation Eye videos, photos and audio clips - all through your PS3. We’ll have more on EyeCreate later this week, including some really fun examples of how cool EyeCreate movies can be from the depths of our QA grotto.

PlayStation Eye will be available as a stand-alone product starting October 23, for $39.99 at all major retailers. I’m sure there will be some questions, so I’ll try to monitor the comments here and provide info where I can.

EyeCreate in Action
Posted on Oct 11, 2007 by Greg Lutton // Assistant Producer, SCEA
What’s up PlayStation fans? I wanted to get the word out to all of you to check out EyeCreate, the new video capturing and editing application for the PlayStation 3. With EyeCreate you can capture darn near anything and make your own personalized videos, much like the examples I’ve included below. You can also add all sorts of cool effects, record your own sounds and export your video to the XMB. Some of the coolest features include the time-lapse capturing and the stop-motion functionality. If you want to show off your videos, you can drop your creation on a memory stick or USB drive and share it with other PS3 users. The increased resolution of the PSEye and the multi-array microphone combined with the huge storage capacity of the PS3, make the possibilities endless. And last but not least, EyeCreate will be available for FREE download on the PlayStation Store on October 23rd. To get an idea of what EyeCreate can do, check out these vids our team made.

Happy Creating!

One last update...

Joystiq Hands-on: PlayStation Eye
Posted on Oct 4th 2007 1:56PM by Jason Dobson


One of the most interesting, and certainly most unique video games coming to the PlayStation 3 this year is Sony and SCE Studios Japan's Eye of Judgment, which combines elements of a physical collectible card game with that of a traditional video game for an experience that is, if anything, wholly its own.

While the influence of card games like Magic: The Gathering and Pokemon has long been felt in video games, Eye of Judgment represents the first time to our recollection that the marriage of the two mediums has evolved beyond gameplay to take on a more literal meaning. With real cards you hold in your hand, and a playing mat unfolded on the table, it's entirely possible to play Eye of Judgment with no PS3 involvement whatsoever, and even have a good deal of fun doing so. However, as the game comes bundled with the PS3's new PlayStation Eye camera, it seems a shame to leave such shiny new hardware ignored, so when the game showed up at Joystiq proper, we were inclined to put the new device through the wringer.

While we cannot speak as to how the actual camera will be packaged when Eye of Judgment ships, ours came wrapped in a tightly wound ball of bubble wrap, while the camera stand was sealed in a nondescript white box. The stand itself measures about 13 inches in height when assembled, and is made of the sort of moderately sturdy plastic you'd expect to find on a child's toy, no doubt in order to keep the whole contraption from being destroyed when players inevitably trip over the camera's impossibly short USB cord.

The cord itself is about 77 inches in length, or about 6.5 feet, which may sound like a lot, but when the camera is slotted into the stand and then tethered from wherever you happen to be playing to the front of the PS3, the setup begins to have all the markings of some Home Alone-style booby trap.

That said, camera setup and recognition is simple enough, and after the software held our hand and walked us through a few short screens covering positioning and available room lighting, we were left to our own devices. What's interesting however is that while the camera was originally touted as not needing a good deal of light to function properly, the importance of lighting cannot be understated. Eye of Judgment is designed for well lit rooms such that nothing else will do. As the game is played, and cards are placed below the camera, the game takes a second or two to read a set of symbols at the top of the card in order to determine what it is exactly that you are trying to do. If there is a shadow, or the lighting isn't just right, the process will stop and restart again. Like the caretakers of some kind of electronic houseplant, we were on more than occasion forced to babysit the PlayStation Eye by hovering over it with a portable lamp just to get it to read the cards on the table correctly.

The camera itself features a lens that can be adjusted for either 50hz or 60hz display settings as well as for both regular and wide angle capturing, though honestly the difference between the two capture modes is negligible. Still this is essentially a webcam we're talking about here, and not a Nikon D3, so all things considered we were happy just to see recognizable shapes moving on the screen.

The PlayStation Eye delivers on expectations in terms of features and capture quality, which ranks marginally above its EyeToy predecessor, with a smoother frame rate and slightly crisper on-screen image, as well as a nice auto-focus capability that does a reasonable job at keeping up with what's going on in front of it. In addition, the camera does boast an integrated '4 Microphone Array System,' making its use in games, such as the forthcoming PS3 edition of SingStar, seem positively frightening. Our voices came over well enough when testing during a chat session, negating the need for a headset, though doing so means that voices are instead routed through the television speaker, making the device's use during online play seem decidedly less attractive.

After fiddling with the camera and playing a few games of Eye of Judgment, inspiration took hold, and we found ourselves plugging the little guy into anything with a USB slot just to see what would happen. Sadly, nothing did. The camera was not recognized as a suitable replacement for the Xbox Live Vision, nor was it given notice by the PS2 as yet another EyeToy. Plugging it into the PC did give us hope, as the computer began to look for drivers, but finding none, it told us in typically cryptic computer lingo to please shove off; though like the EyeToy, we expect proper PC drivers to become available not long after the PlayStation Eye is released into the wild.

The PlayStation Eye hits retail on October 23 in two flavors: as part of the Eye of Judgment package for $69.99, as well as by itself for $39.99, which promises to include the EyeCreate editing software, as well as a collection of mini-games and screen savers. We're also hopeful that Sony will take full advantage of the camera after it is released, possibly through a future firmware update, though nothing has yet been announced.

Reading all that I doubt that I will be jumping to quickly purchase this. I may wait and see what games are available down the road, but as it is I can't see coughing up $40 for this.
 
They should have added led lamps in the camera stand, if it has trouble reading the cards.
 
PLAYSTATION Eye: Your Questions Answered
Posted on Oct 25, 2007 by by Kristin Neirinckx // Associate Product Manager, SCEA
Hello everyone! The PLAYSTATION Eye is beginning to hit store shelves. Be sure to check it out and download your free EyeCreate software on the PLAYSTATION Network.

Sarah Stocker did a great job of summarizing all of the great technology and features included in the PLAYSTATION Eye last week. I’m here to help answer some of the great questions you’ve been asking. Here we go:

Does the PLAYSTATION Eye come with any software?

The PLAYSTATION Eye comes with a FREE EyeCreate editing software download on the PLAYSTATION Network. The EyeCreate editing software allows you to save photos, video and audio clips to your PS3 hard disk drive and apply eye-catching visual effects to your images. Different capture modes like time-lapse and slow motion open up a world of possibilities to be explored further in EyeCreate’s editing suite, where you can turn your media into professional looking movies.

What other games are available for the PLAYSTATION Eye?

THE EYE OF JUDGMENT is a visually stunning experience that adds a third dimension to the trading card genre. Specially coded cards transform into amazing spells and creatures before you through the power of the PLAYSTATION Eye.

There will also be a variety of games and interactive screen savers available on the PLAYSTATION Network throughout the next few months. Be on the lookout for titles such as Aquatopia, Operation: Creature Feature and Trials of Topoq.

Can I use the PLAYSTATION Eye with my PC?

PLAYSTATION Eye will only work with the PLAYSTATION 3 system

Can you chat with PC webcams using the PLAYSTATION Eye through the PS3?

Since PLAYSTATION Network is a closed system, you can only chat among PLAYSTATION 3 owners and cannot contact someone on a PC with the PLAYSTATION Eye on the PLAYSTATION 3 system.



To answer questions like these, we have put together a web page dedicated to the PLAYSTATION Eye, complete with a FAQ section. You can check it out here.

I will be checking back to answer any questions I may have missed. Look forward to hearing from you!

It is nice to have these quick responses and contact from the developers. I have to say though I am disappointed the PlayStation Eye won't work on a PC... although I would think all that would be necessary is a driver for it, so maybe they will add that in an update, or some hacker will come up with a solution.

Other than it looks like I'm definitely going to have to pick a couple of these up. One for us and one for my folks in California so they can video chat with us and virtually interact with their grand kids. :)

At least someone has a worthwhile use for this. So far I don't see this being used much in my house.

I fear it may wind up like the Eye Toy, with very little support.
 
Use Your PS3 as a Remote Surveillance Camera
Posted on Nov 12, 2007 on NG4
HowTo: Use the remote play functionality to remotely control your room!
All you need is:
  • PS3 With 2.0+Firmware
  • PSP With 3.72+ (or modified 3.71M33) Firmware
  • Playstation Eye
Place your PSEye in the room that you want to check.
Once outside your house, use the Remote Play functionality to access the PS3 XMB (With the 2.0 firmware the Playstation 3 will turn on automatically).
Go to "Friends", and then "Create a new Chat room", when the interface has loaded, click on the 2nd icon from the right (setting), and then activate your camera!

You are now able to see what your Playstation Eye can see
Click to expand...
This will work any where from around the world as long as you have internet access.
 
Well that's neat. :) This should work with any usb web cam that the PS3 can recognize. I can use the old PS2 EyeToy cam as a chat camera on the PS3. I should try this tonight.
 
Totally awesome. I've got to get an EyeThingy now. Are they out? How much are they?

I think it's cool you can make pics and videos, and then share them from your PC. We could make homemade video walkthroughs to show each other how to progress through a game when stuck, or show off our accomplishments. Cool!

It came out three weeks ago both as a standalone for $40 and with EoJ for $70. There are also several free games that come with it and a free application (info on all of these is posted in this thread).

On the UK PS Store, they have already started releasing additional editing programs for it, but with a small fee.

$40? That's all? I was thinking $140 to $200 for this thing. It's HD, it can take pics and HD videos, so I thought it would be a lot more than $40!

Wow, great deal, if you ask me. 👍 Yep, I'm getting one, even if I don't use it for games.


EDIT: Hmm, looks like it ain't HD. Check here for details... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PlayStation_Eye

Web cameras have gotten pretty cheap to make these days, and it's not HD but it's still quite good. It's 640x480 which is the same as full frame DVD and at 60 frames per second no less. If you want 120 fps, you can do that as well by lowering the resolution to 320x240.

Despite not being HD, for the resolution, and framerate, quality lens, free games and editing tools, and more at relatively small fees, and lots of support, I agree, even if it was $100 I'd still say it was a bargain. 👍

Yeah, according to the Wiki page, it has its own proprietary language for making videos, but all videos and audio clips can be stored and saved as MPEG4, so we can share videos via a PC and the internet.

I'm going to check YouTube right now if anybody has make any video clips with this thing, yet.

Just remember that YouTube lowers the resolution and bit rates of the videos.

Also, HERE are some videos using the PlayStation Eye and Eye Create.
 
The quality is a bit lower than I expected, but for $40 it's still one hell of a bargain! The quality is excellent for $40 and good overall. 👍
 
Next time your on your PS3, there is a recent video for the PlayStation Eye on the US PS Store which shows actual footage shot with the PS Eye as well as some of its features.

There was another trailer on the PS Store that was shot entirely with the PS Eye, but I don't remember which one. If I can find it, I'll let you know.

Video of New Research Conducted with PlayStation Eye
Posted on Nov 14, 2007 by Richard Marks // SCEA R&D Manager, Special Projects
Most of you probably already know about the launch of the PlayStation Eye, and hopefully you’re as excited as we are here in PlayStation R&D. By the time products launch, our contribution is usually long past, but this time we wanted to join the fun. So we thought we’d give you an exclusive first glimpse at some of our new research that uses PS Eye.

We grabbed our lab camcorder and filmed some tech demos created by newcomer Anton Mikhailov (he’s the guy playing games in the videos). Anton has been using PS Eye to let users add their own content into games. So far, he’s focused on simple, familiar games (like lunar lander and tank battle) that he can code for PS3 in a day or so. These games are pretty old school, but they become amazingly fun again when you get to add your own content. And when the PS3 adds physics to your content, things become even more fun! (why does everyone keep mentioning Little Big Planet?)

Check out the videos. We filmed them without cuts so you could see how easy it is to add your own content.

"Watch out hand, you don't want none of this banana." :lol:

That was so awesome. I've got to get this for my boys. They would get a huge kick out of this.

Thanks for posting that! +Rep. EDIT: Oops; no I can't.
 
Wow that video you posted, DN, shows off ton of potential. Just another reason why the PS3 will be the system to beat in the years to come.
 
Thats amazing, you could 'cut out' anything you wanted from real life and put it into a game.....

Loads of potential!
