PS2 EyeToy Pwns MotionPlus by 6 Years
Home : News : : News Story

PS2 has 1:1 swordplay available using the EyeToy


So what if Nintendo is going to have more realistic swordfighting with the MotionPlus. Who cares? The technology has been around to do that forever. Just nobody's been using it.

Until now. Actually, they've been in development for awhile, and while we've seen motion tracking with cameras at every technology convention since 2005, they're only starting to get utilized in gaming now. And Sony is the first to really bring it out to the market, planning for this holiday season. 

Using the PS2. And the old EyeToy. 

Oh bugger, guess I'll have to wipe the dust off the old console and look in my junk drawers for that damn camera. Maybe Lucasarts will have better luck with Sony and make a new exclusive PS2 title to rub it in Nintendo's face.
