NGP Camera Features Detailed

Jolt writes: "We have been busy finding out some top secret information on the NGP and we have managed to find out a little more about how they plan to use the camera in their launch window titles".

Interesting feature, I'm considering getting the NGP when it releases, it's looking great.

But the thing from Uncharted is weird, what if I'm playing in the dark and don't have any source of light near.

Warprincess1165502d ago

Considering? The NGP is a must buy.

Close_Second5502d ago

Not even close to a "must buy", not at launch prices. You know, there is a reason portable devices that are too big to slipped into your pocket don't sell.

Imagine if the IPhone was as large as the NGP. Atari tried many years ago and one of the reasons it did not do as well as they hoped was because of its size. Not saying the NGP wont do well but it does not yet have mass market appeal.

Do you live in deep space? :>

Then you must make clever use of mirrors and reflect the light from the the ngp's screen to the back camera.

jujubee885502d ago

Due to the fact the camera is (at its core) a device which is all mirrors that process light bouncing off of objects, this kind of functionality is keen.

I wouldn't be surprised to see them use the microphone in a equally savvy kind of way. Sort of like blowing on the mic to put out flames or take the dust off an artifact.

:D

a_bro5502d ago

why did someone disagreed with you?

TacoTaru5502d ago

I didn't disagree but I can understand why someone did. If you have a DS and had to blow on the microphone in some of its games you wouldn't think it was such a good idea. I certainly don't want any more of that kind of game interaction. Spit and electronics don't mix well.

jujubee885502d ago

@a_bro: Because they can.

@TacoTaru: Just put your t-shirt over your mouth to prevent moisture going on the device.

Man I can't wait to get my hands on this thing

castdreams5502d ago

This might kill the processor, but it would be cool if some games used images taken from the camera as env maps, so if you walk up to a car or maybe if you were using a gun with shiny metal parts you could see reflections of your real face and surroundings rendered into the game.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle16d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
