Sony dismisses talk of EyePet delay News

PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese

6 October, 2009

Sony has told Eurogamer that no, EyePet has not been delayed, and it will be released here on 23rd October, thank you very much.

That platform holder spoke as the game was officially caged until 2010 over in North America.

Our review copy of EyePet, housed inside a miniature cardboard pet-carrier, has already arrived. Tom was besotted.

EyePet is a game that uses the PS Eye to track movement so you and your family can interact with virtual animals on screen.

Look out for our thoughts soon.

Sorry, the real things are always getting in the way of the MAC or the 360. Or stepping on my PS3 Bluetooth controller and turning the console on.

Damn those two feline peskies.

I'm actually really looking forward to this and hope it isn't delayed! I believe the game is created by London Studios..the people who did 'eye toy' and Europe always get those games before America anyway.

Remember kids: pets can be turned off when you get bored with them.

Another valuable life lesson from computer games.

at Scrumhalf:
Nevermind jthe kids, i'm looking forward to it also, even though my partner's the one playing. As someone blind, this technology has so much going for it in the future. AR could change things for the disabled if used correctly. Imagine having the camera describe a scene, or identify where the tin of beans is within the cupboard? That sort of thing.

Anyway, to get back on, it'll be a big christmas for the company if it's not delayed.

"Its not using the wand. "

EyePet will be patched with wand support later.

My vet told me this morning I should seriously consider having my 5 year old dog put to sleep due to increasing serious epilepsy.

My gaming buddy said "Nevermind, just get the eyePet"

Somehow I don't think it would be the same.

Now I just feel sad.
