Giant Bomb at PAX 09: EyePet Demo

all right. Release the video. I'm ready to be scared :|

What is the EyePet actually called? You don't say to "come here EyePet!" because that's just weird.

I thought I was the cutest thing at PAX. :(

I'm actually scared now. Just waiting for it to get pissed and try and kill you

Similar technology to the Eye of judgment.

 this casual game looks better then any thing nintendo this doing

Seems cool enough. I'm sure younger kids would enjoy it a lot.

I'm sure this would be interesting for Japanese who can't own a rowdy pet in their confined living spaces. But nothing beats a real dog.
 
Quite a delay for a 120hz camera. I wonder if Natal will have such issues since the cam has its own hi-tech processor.
 
edit: also, an original GB video in non 16:9 ratio?! My mind has been blown.

" That PR guy seems pretty bummed out. "

Is that monkey thing the only pet you can have?

 Virtual pets are a novelty.

dude imagine a billion of them eating people and taking over the world............ i think i made this game more appealing...

What a strange looking creature.  It's like half monkey/half dog but with the face of a human.

Dwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh.....

Seems like some cool tech, not so cool of a "game", per se.
And that monkey-dog thing freaks me out o_O

I'm impressed with the presentation even though the actual 'game' is a novelty I see it's idea and know it's aimed a children but there's nothing wrong with that.

It looks like a really cool, NIntendogs-type thing. I can't see having much interest in it myself, but the technology and fundamental construction of the game/camera is very interesting.

Geez... When the gaming press asks a question...
 
Don't just talk about it.

DEMONSTRATE IT!

"What is the EyePet actually called? You don't say to "come here EyePet!" because that's just weird. "

My 9 year old Niece will like this. I shall buy it for her Xmas.

Get some mythical creatures out and i'd be interested, pet dragons, chimeras etc.

" Geez... When the gaming press asks a question...   Don't just talk about it. DEMONSTRATE IT! "

This guy seems beyond bored with the product.  Come on, dude!  Sell it!

Damn, that thing really is a Monchhichi.

They need better PR Reps... sony if your listening ill show you how to sell this.

This guy is going to be out of a job soon.

My sister who already loves to play LittleBigPlanet with me is going to get SUCH a kick out of this.

Ummm... this looks like it would be good for kids who don't have real pets.
 
If you have a pet? Please don't buy or play this game....
Give your real pet some love and attention.
You'll find it more rewarding than this silly thing.
 
As a dog owner...
I say MEH!

It seems like most people will have to do a fair bit of rearranging of the living room furniture to get the PS3, TV, camera, table, and  chair into the ideal positions for the perfect EyePet experience.  I'll sit this one out.

I don't care about the monkey....
 
but that interactive menu card thing is interesting. Something like that could be pretty useful for my XMB or in-game menu interfaces in general.

this is really cute, but I don't see this selling well at all

Seems good tech-wise but I wish he would've shown off more content in those 8min. This would be a great QL candidate.

Liking it so far. Seems cute, hope it will get people who aren't interested in the PS3 interested in games. 

How much swine flu was on that table? 

I thought Brad was the cutest thing at PAX?

Dude sounds like he's about to fall asleep... guess I'm not the only one

Don't give a shit about animals, get me my own virtual palm sized anime babe to harass and then we can talk

Seems like a really cool tech demo. Probably doesn't have much longevity as a game though. Interesting though nonetheless.

So it's like those DS games like, my baby girl/ my baby boy.
Daily chalanges etc. Well more interactive then.

This is looking good, it's worth the eye, I'm going to need it for the motion controller anyhow so might as well get it with this.

Half way through the video and I started skipping till the end...

lame.
 
but if i was 15 years older and had a child, this'd be great for them.

I'm not sure it's quite intuitive enough for little kids to understand.  We shall see though

" I thought Brad was the cutest thing at PAX? "

I'm too old for this game but this video really got me interested in the Eye.  I think I'm going to find one.
