PS3: The Eye of Judgment Preview

Whether borne of a marketing meeting or merely the result of imagination run wild, there's no denying the unbelievable potential for profit held within The Eye of Judgment. Endless expansions? Booster packs? It's the stuff of dreams, assuming you own stock in Sony.

But if you're actually planning on playing The Eye of Judgment, you don't care. You're in it for the experience, the competition, or perhaps the collectable aspect of it all. Previous attempts to encapsulate the collectible card game (CCG) experience in a digital format have largely failed due to one presumably obvious element: the lack of cards! I'm no expert in the realm of CCGs, but there's a definite thrill in buying booster packs, assembling a deck, and having physical cards that you can swap or sell.

Is sony trying to be Nintendo with Pokemon???

fenderputty6936d ago

but in 3-D ... not my thing but, it's defiantly cool if you're into that sort of thing.

PhinneousD6936d ago (Edited 6936d ago )

i find it all quite too nerdy. this ventures into the realm of D&D, and Magik was over the top vapid.

fenderputty6936d ago (Edited 6936d ago )

Does that mean this won't be a success amongst the niche market that it's obviously targeting? Pull your head out man ... it's WAAAY cooler then Pokemon .. simply because it's using state of the art tech to render real time 3D thing from your card. This should be big in Japan too.

The Sad State Of Augmented Reality Video Games (Modojo)

Chris Buffa (Modojo): Augmented reality is a simulated version of the real world that has become a staple of television broadcasts, most notably as the yellow first down marker in football games. You've also seen it on the news and reality shows like American Idol and Dancing with the Stars, whenever the overlay appears, urging you to vote. Suffice to say, it's improved the viewing experience tenfold.

Vita should do good for Aug Reality. The new fighting game looks cool. I would love to have a ghost hunting camera game. Like a Fatal Frame.

AR has seen relatively low success because of mainly two reasons:

1. Low key marketing attempts.
2. Limitations: Low interactivity or bound by physical glyphs cards.

However Sony did show off an impressive tech demo that showcased AR that properly reads real world spatial data, which might lead to better interactivity and applications. The fact that it was demonstrated on a mobile phone means greater audience reach.

AR has really only caught on in the last 4-5 year and it's popularity gradually rising. It's still too early to start comparing it to traditional video game mediums when that has had over 30 years to mature.

Invizimals is not really a "blip", it is actually pretty popular and has arguably the largest community for an AR game ever (due to the fact it's got multiplayer).

AR games are not to different in nature from motion controls in that they require movement from the players side. In that respect, stuff like Mario on the Wii might have done well but, there are still many IP's that work and sell nicely on motion control gaming like Wii or Move so, I don't buy that AR needs an old IP to do well.

Also, the guy stated how silly one would look playing an AR game on the 3DS than states how cool a Pokemon game would look. That is either bias or inconsistency in his/her argument. xD

The Bitbag Review: Eye Of Judgment, Biolith Rebellion 3

For people who have not played the Eye of Judgment for awhile it's time to assemble your stand and dust off your cards. With the new Biolith Rebellion 3 expansion pack you have additional in-depth storylines for each of the four elements and decks from all three sets. These features are easily accessible from the main menu. The new cards give players amazing new creatures with enhanced abilities and attack options that allow you to submerge yourself in additional modes of game play. Keep in mind, you still have to register every single card with your playstation eye, easily downloadable from the PLAYSTATION(R) Network and purchase additional booster packs from you local game store.
