Yep that is dope, and this is why I wanted the PS4 to bundle the camera for stuff like this, facial recognition profile go anywhere you go. I like.

:whoa: i'd rather my console not be able to facially recognize me


edit: does kinect even work for dark skinned black people yet? i remember this being an early issue with the kinect 1.0

Actually, it does make sense for 1st-party/2nd Party studios to add PS Camera features, if Sony wants sell PS Camera units. Kinect's advantage of being bundled with every Xbox1 is a moot point to me, if it's still $40 cheaper to buy a PS4 & the PS Camera.
It makes sense for them to add trivial features, but it would be unwise to put required pseye functionality in any core games.

The reason the original kinect didn't really make it into many "core" experiences was due to limited tech AND fragmentation. The pseye has both of those problems going for it. The one good thing it has going for it is the fact that the kinect is being pushed so hard by Microsoft. It may be able to piggyback on some of that support.

Problem is, not only will devs have to worry about adding features that can't be used by all ps4 owners, they also have to choose whether they want to support remote play or the camera. In my opinion it sounds like a bunch of confusion/fragmentation that will prevent the pseye from reaching its full potential.

:patrice: So do you want to save money or a better experience?

Sony used their money to get the best graphics, MS used theirs to possibly change gaming, if kinect does revolutionize how we play games, saving $40 for a weaker/ lack luster experience isnt really the best option, unless you only really care about graphics, but xbox one will have good graphics too, how far behind ps4 we dont know, but from everything Ive seen xbox is right up their with it, if it takes years for ps4 power to be realized, wouldnt it be a better option to get an xbox since imo they have better games announced so far, and in the future once ps4 power comes out, and they bring better games, sell the xbox and buy a ps4 since the xbox is more, you should be able to get enough back for a ps4. it will also give you a chance to use the kinect, and decide if it really changes anything, because vids cant really give the true feeling.
:yeshrug: IDk I just dont get why everybody is talking about getting launch ps4 just tell everybody to wait for the power and games. I think it would make more sense to get an xbox since the first year looks to be better with it, unless you are a fanboy, hate MS (for whatever reason), or just dont have the extra $100. because if you decide to sell it, then you can grab a ps4 without having to spend much if anything (sell it, not trade it to gamestop)

Yup, they use active IR for it

Check this out



Dont really matter tho, the kinect will know you, and be able to auto sign you into your profile to the controller that you are holding, so maybe this isnt for you :skip:

No (not like the the 2.0 can (CAN) but I think the Wii and kinect did in their own way), because they scaled it down to save money. Kinect 1.0 was most likely a test run, but I as well as you know that its not much that can be said or showed with the xbox to make you go :ooh: You can tell by the Smilie posted, and the lil psn in your profile, that you are either a fanboy, or idk something else, but not somebody who came in here with an unbiased view :yeshrug: your money, your time, enjoy your system :shake:


I know I will be :blessed::ahh:

The Kinect is NEVER gonna change core gaming. You can't do without first getting rid of the controller. Core gamers aren't gonna choose motion controls over comfy couch gaming with a controller. The Kinect/PS Camera are only gonna be useful for Entertainment/Social/OS Features, causal party games, & trivial features in Core Games. Y'all sound delusional everytime y'all say that shyt.

Also, the PS Camera doesn't have to be as good as the new Kinect. It just has to be a good, solid device. Most folks won't care.

Just traded in my kinect today, biggest waste of money I ever experienced on the 360.

Just bought it for my girl for the dancing games, but now she's the ex so that thing had to go. Got $85 with some of the games for the trade in though, put that to the Ps4.

I`m done with any type of motion/voice recognition for video games

It can change Core gaming, by mixing the controller with the kinect while sitting on their comfy couch...will it idk, but change is just that..it has already started


:leon: now with the kinect bundled with every xbox, if Devs only added voice commands to games, then that would change core gaming, because I dont know about you but I wasnt using that stuff while playing my N64.

Your outlook on the future of gaming is off, you remind me of this

Talking like we have to get rid of controllers, just by pair kinect with a controller changes things.
You sound delusional everytime you say that shyt, like in order for kinect to change gaming we have to get rid or controller, nobody is saying that, but if you cant see how the two can work together, and if done right it will/can change things then thats on you keep telling yourself that kinect has no place, and that the ps eye can keep up :ld: :heh:


Anyway I didnt post this up to :fight: Put it up because it was something I didnt think about, and it excites me that Devs are thinking outside of the box, at least things that I havent :win:
