PS3 EndWar gets Minority Report-esque gesture controls

NO_PUDding6571d ago (Edited 6571d ago )

Pleaset tell me you are being sarcastic?

360 camera lacks the stand.... ZOMG i bet Microsoft wished they had developed a vertical polythylene supportive device, maybe it's becuase Sony is so next gen!

SARCASM!!!

I am a PS3 fanboy, but I ahte all these gimmicky benefits the PS3 is getting. Yes, I am whinign about it, becuase it's never useful.

I use Sixaxis on GTA for relaoding, darts and bowling, but that's all - and that's when I am bored enough to play that pathetic game!

It seems like an impressive feature

we will find out for sure

Panthers6571d ago

Maybe, but controlling units with your hands and not even touching the screen is awesome. especilaly in a RTS

thePatriot6571d ago (Edited 6571d ago )

I ahte sarcasam on the internet as much as I ahte whinign about vg charts accuracy

i purchased mine when they first came out and have been incredibly satisfied. The built in microphones work great and it is far superior to my xbox cam handling low light conditions with ease. the picture and functions are just completely superior hands down.

on top of that when i am not home i can use my psp to turn on my ps3 with remote play, go to video chat and see what my dogs are doing live in the living room he he.

sonarus6571d ago

Agreed...makes a lot of sense for an RTS. If they could take out the controller completely and make it so its just camera and headset then MAYBE i can consider the game

deeznuts6571d ago (Edited 6571d ago )

NO_PUDding, as MS are quickly finding out, not having a stand for their camera is turning out to be a mistake as egregious as not making a HDD standard!

EDIT:, by the way I play in my bedroom on my bed. But my room is fairly large so I sit maybe 15 feet away (maybe 13). Will the eye toy work from such distances?

MikeGdaGod6571d ago

i love the PS Eye

i used the same bluetooth heatset with my ps3 that i use for my phone, but after a while i got tired of linking them. now i use the Eye in-game and it works beautifully. i doubt i'll ever use a headset now.

plus.......if your really slick and expecting "company", you can set it up so that it records.....EVERYTHING. keep that controller nearby.

worth every penny

Bolts6571d ago

I'll keep this in mind when I make my next sex type or have a coke deal in my living room.

Surely they should allow it for the 360, people could easily rig up something to point the camera upwards.

Stick it between two books...?

clintos596571d ago

they can duck tape the xbox vision onto there hat or something and it will proly work even better, who knows. :)

Panthers6571d ago

I thought the PS3 cam had some kind of special 3D capturing or something. Like something the 360 cam didnt. I know there was something special about the PS3 cam.

$39.99 at circuit city.

Im sure u can find other places where it is cheaper, maybe ebay.

whateva6571d ago

eyecreate is fun I make crazy videos like this

Meresin6571d ago (Edited 6571d ago )

Whateva, you just got positive feedback for pure creativity. O.o That video was something to behold.

Just out of curiosity, how is the voice detection on the Eye camera? Does it pick up a lot of game noise?

clintos596571d ago

Cool video and yes PS eye is an awesome cam. I am still screwing around wit it to see what else I can do with it but very creative video. :)

this sounds like they are using this game to get a response before they release PSN-Connect. It would make sense at least...

whateva6571d ago

off to google I go!

butterfinger6571d ago

PSN-Connect is a minority report-like way that PS3 owners will be able to access their xmb and possibly other features in game... Basically if you are playing GTA and you want to change a song, you just reach to the right corner of your screen (for example) and drag down your custom soundtracks and select a song all without even using a controller...

Meresin6571d ago (Edited 6571d ago )

Is that something that is supposed to be coming? It sounds incredible...It'd be a lot less awkward than simply firing up XMB while in a game and maneuvering through the menus.

If they really do kick that out, I'll have to pick up the Eye camera myself.

Good job Ubi

atleast they are better than EA .

Ubi delivers on most occasions with good games and not rushed ports

Panthers6571d ago

WOW awesome

LevDog6571d ago

If they can do that for a game.. That would be tight if Sony would add the feature to the XMB.. For the people that have a camera, they can turn on the option and use their hands to navigate the XMB and Web browser

Panthers6571d ago

You would have people jsut playing with the XMB all day. It would become a game all its own LOL.

I know I would HAHA

MikeGdaGod6571d ago

yup i've been saying that since the Eye was announced

Bathyj6571d ago

Wow, thats fricken awesome, and its not just a gimmick either. For years, devs have wondered how to do decent RTS controls on a console. This could be problem solved, and I gotta say its about time. The eye camera is a the best motion detection controller available. Infinitely more accurate than the Sixaxis or Wimote. I've wanted things like this ever since they showed that demo with the 2 glasses of water in the bathtub tipping fluid from one to the other with natural ease.

Holy crap that might actually work! A PlayStaiton peripheral that actually gets used!

because we all know how much the 360 Vision cam is being used huh. Oh and the most used peripheral for the 360....the HD-DVD player.

touche if i may say....lol

Meresin6571d ago

Touche doesn't cover it. I think "owned" might just come close, though.

The PS Eye actually has several games designed for it up on the PSN, and also has some sort of video software you can tinker with. It's very cool stuff, although it is underutilized in gaming. Hopefully this trend takes off, and we see more mainstream games using the thing.

pwnsause6571d ago (Edited 6571d ago )

well if you looked at the first trailer for the game, you can tell that one of their intentions was to use your hands to control the combat, even though it was on a table, i hope for the best for Ubi to make this function work, they are one of the first 3rd party devs to take full advantage of the PS eye

sephy 9 2 56571d ago

and the year isn't over yet...so we'll see how that pans out (supposed to be revealed this yr)

GiantEnemyCrab6571d ago

Lame. So the stand that is required comes with the Eye of Judgement game/camera pack. So anyone who bought just the camera is SOL unless you make your own contraption.

Congratulations $ony found a way to move more EOJ's! Give yourself a good pat on the back sucker fishheads $ony loves you!

@ Giant Enemy Crab (aka PoG, Nasim, Hong Kong Phooey, Agent 86, spectyre)

I didn't think Sony was publishing this game seeing how it is multiplat. But you do bring up a good point that it is a rather obscure peripheral, that is why I believe it won't make it into the game. Of course I am one of those sucker fishheads that bought EOJ so I'm good.

Nadine Coyle6571d ago

'@ Giant Enemy Crab (aka PoG, Nasim, Hong Kong Phooey, Agent 86, spectyre)' LOL :)

heroman7116571d ago

that sounds really cool. actually makes me interested in RTS games

RobertGonz696571d ago

its good to be a PS3 owner.

Bolts6571d ago

This feature sounds cool but I wonder how usefull it really is. So you can move the map with hand gestures, thats it? Sounds limited. Now if I can control the entire game with hand gestures then I'll be impressed. If I have to stick my hand out to scroll the map then pull them back to play the game with my DS 3 then it isn't so cool. If the game include mouse and keyboard support then I wouldn't need to use hand gestures at all.

tk6570d ago

Nothing to do with the stand. It is a 20c piece of plastic that can be added no-problem. The specs of the cameras is not the same. They need resolution at a certain fps to be able to do this.
