johnno Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 If this topic has been added elsewhere I apolgise in advance. Has anyone bought the Eyetoy for the PS2 yet. I'm thinking of getting one and I thought someone on Neowin would have bought one by now as it I think it was released in UK last week. Is it any good and what is quality of the games that have been bundled with it? :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~clean Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 We have had fun in work with them but i con see limited use with it as its very much a quick 5 min arcade game ! But you doo look a little like a fool when playing it ! Link Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Dick Montage Subscriber² Posted July 7, 2003 Subscriber² Share Posted July 7, 2003 I used something similar on the PC a few years back. Using webcam, was Intel software (supposed to ship with intel Create & Share cam). It works by detecting movement, so even playing against a wall with posters was ok, as you are the only moving object. It then uses this to create collision detection to your form. Then you can play such amazing games as a bounging a ball, catching a ball or even (GASP) popping bubbles. To be fair, it was only fun with a BIG screen in a room with lots of space. Or drunk. At the time I was impressed with how it worked, and it did work well. But really, there are much cooler things to do on your PS2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altezza Veteran Posted July 7, 2003 Veteran Share Posted July 7, 2003 Yeah I saw that in action in EB last weekend. Actually it was pretty fun to play with and could be addictive too. EB only allows each tester 5 minutes of game although it worth a fun to try with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Dick Montage Subscriber² Posted July 7, 2003 Subscriber² Share Posted July 7, 2003 EBs tester would have only allowed 5 mins of play, because after 5 mins you realise how tardy it really is. It's cool in 5 min bursts every month of so (IMO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~clean Posted July 13, 2003 Share Posted July 13, 2003 it would be cool if you could play fighting games with it theres 2 fighting games built in but the novolty ran off quick .. we got bored with it in the end ! Hopefully more games will take advantage with it, coz i know it could be alot more fun ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnno Posted July 14, 2003 Author Share Posted July 14, 2003 Thanks all for your comments regarding the Eyetoy, judging by comments so far I would not consider purchasing one as it seems to have only a short term appeal. However, does anyone know of any third party support for upcoming games using the Eyetoy. A game utilising the Eyetoy and a lightgun would be a cool idea.

Boffa Jones Veteran Posted July 14, 2003 Veteran Share Posted July 14, 2003 By fighting game i meant tekken, like in the arcade when you can use the movement detection to fight in tekken, it seemed cool but i dont know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
