My thoughts exactly. The timing of his wedding, honey moon, random tweeting by the GB crew are really making me think this is a joke--a sick one. The fact that it has traveled so far through the Internet is really throwing me off. "He's married...Ryan Davis is dead" joke.

I expect Ryan to be back soon as I think this is a joke. If not, FUCK!

Excellent job with the video, I really enjoyed it.

Here's my mashup.

Scoopz!

It hasn't impacted my decision to get one either, as I love the price and have already preordered. I just think that it limits the possibilities of having camera integration evolve in innovative ways if developers themselves don't have the proper motivation to do it.

Here you go:

Enjoy!

Scott Rohde confirms it in the interview Patrick did with him that a camera is not included and will be sold separately for $59. You're both right about the player detection, as that was said back in February during the first Sony press conference. I also thought it would be a cool feature, but that's something that would be useful to me 1% of the time (especially now that I've moved away from friends due to my career).

I also have always thought that motion gaming has largely been a gimmick, and not something I've been remotely interested in the past due to the uses having been either afterthoughts or marketing ploys.

I do think this is a valid argument, and something which in my mind has played a significant role in the Move's progression thus far.

Since Xbox One does have the benefits of Skype (due to it being a Microsoft property) there is a stronger argument for the camera being a focus for Microsoft than for Sony. By having less cameras, hopefully Playstation still has some of the same dynamic online streaming and innovative interaction occurring as on the Xbox One platform. It's a similar comparison that can be made in Sony not including headsets with all PS3s. Some may view it as creating an online "wasteland" where nobody talks (in comparison to Xbox Live); while others may view it as an inherent filter to every screaming 12-year old kid and douchebag having access to a headset.

Hey guys,

I was curious to get your thoughts on Sony's decision not to include a camera with every PS4. I LOVED what I heard from Sony last night, and have already preordered my PS4; however, what impact do you think it'll have on developer strategy knowing that they cannot count on every PS4 owner having a camera?

One of the advantages of knowing every PS4 owner has the camera is that it allows developers to program (or at least have an incentive to program) a game with the camera in mind the whole time. Since the install base will never be 1:1 between console ownership and camera ownership, do you think that developers will ignore the camera and have it fall by the wayside much like it has this console generation?

Although I own all the peripherals for motion gaming on the PS3 and am not too kin on motion gaming, I fear that we might lose out on some possible innovative camera uses if developers know they can't count on every gamer having one. What do you guys think?

Yeah, this is how I feel too.

Pacifist's Creed, the ultimate stealth game. ;)

"In a groundbreaking move, Microsoft teams up with Apple to capture the both casual and hardcore audiences. Analysts predict the product will release Winter 2013. The churning rumor mills suspect that it will be called the ixBox." I can see the headlines now. Anyone want to put money down? ;)
