  1. Eye Toy by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I saw the Eye Toy at GDC, and I honestly dont think its going to go very far, at least in the US. I cant imagine that many people would willingly play games that force you to flail your arms around like an upset chimp. At least, not while anyone is watching. Most of the time, a rep from Sony was playing it. When asked, most others didnt want to try it - probably didnt want to dance like a fool in front of so many people.

    My favorite part was when some guy decided he didnt want to dance around, so he reached out and waved his hand right in front of the camera. It made a big blurry mess on the screen, but boy was he doing well in the game! Little ninja guys were flying everywhere.

    Ah well, I suppose theyre not really shooting for super gameplay. Or maybe hand waving will be the next Counter-Strike...
