This winter Sony will release a follow-up to
the original Eyetoy game, called simply, Eyetoy: Play 2. The innovative peripheral has received little support
from third-party developers, let alone Sony itself, but this new addition should be cause enough to dust off the old
Eyetoy and plug it in again. The camera will now be able to track motion (and measure the speed of that
motion) and Play 2 looks to take full advantage of this feature. The game includes 12 main events—including
boxing, ping-pong, and a homerun derby—plus over 80 mini games. Besides motion tracking, Play 2 will also
introduce 'color cam' (turning brightly colored objects into controllers) & 'cutout cam' (superimposing the player
onto the screen).
Play 2 breathes new life into Eyetoy
