CES 2012: PS Vita’s Augmented Reality Transforms Your Table Into an Arena

PS Blog:
A couple of months ago, a video surfaced that showed off some cool-looking augmented reality apps running on PS Vita. Since then, it’s been confirmed that Vita will come with six AR Play Cards and a voucher to download a handful of free augmented reality mini games via the PSN. Today at CES, we were able to see one of these games in action: Table Football (it will be called Table Soccer in the US, because we already have football).

That actually looks really cool... And it's free? That just makes it so much better haha.

just_looken4489d ago (Edited 4489d ago )

i agree cool and all that but reminds me of the old but at the time innovative Eyetoy Cameo tech lets hope this tech is actually used in more than 10 games.

Looks a little hard to play with one hand needed to get focued on the cards. It is cool looking and I assume they will come up with some pretty good uses. I do not want to get day one so I can see the second line of games and how well they will supprort. However this thing is looking better and better.

GribbleGrunger4489d ago

what are you talking about? once the cards are placed, that's it. you don't have to touch them again. did you actually watch the video?

Dojan1234488d ago

I did. Look at him having to old the vita and aiming it on the cards. Looks like he is strugglng.

mayberry4489d ago

Da future amigo, is upon us! Da videos look like there is a lot of potential for some amazing games!

Snookies124489d ago

did he say Unit 13 will be available 2 weeks after vita launch ?

farhad2k84462d ago

I really hope they announce some sort of Multiplayer Competitive patch with in that time. It's the only thing stopping me from buying it I'm afraid. It looks like a really nice game though, and I love my shooter games! Especially Zippers games!

ritsuka6664462d ago

Sigh... its so sad to see Zipper go down this path (nothing against Vita, I'm just talking in general compared to the glory days of SOCOM II)

farhad2k84462d ago

I guess this will make us wait for Socom even more! I really hope they do a PS2 remake of some sort, they had the best Socom titles in my opinion!

Derekvinyard134462d ago

zipper is pissing me off with this. make a socom on vita

Kyosuke_Sanada4462d ago (Edited 4462d ago )

Unfortunately, Zipper already announced that they will never make another Socom game. Now it is replaced with yet another shooter that gives you a gold star for every little action you do like gamers are in kindergarten.

At least they changed the name finally, so Socom fans won't feel like they've been lied to again....

@ momthemeatloaf

You are right, I got their statement mistaken due to me not checking in the Socom boards since I left over a year ago but still it's a damn shame...

XboxInnovation4462d ago

lol they never said that, they said they had no plans to bring back a classic Socom game in HD.

brettyd4462d ago

i wouldn't even care is Zipper never made another SOCOM game, they killed that great franchise with S4. I hope Sony has some one else make the next game and bring the franchise back to its glory days.

gamingisnotacrime4462d ago (Edited 4462d ago )

I just tried the vita at gamestop
Really dissapointing. I dont think sony did anything wrong, but thevita will not do well since it has limited use besides gaming. Maybe a smartphone like vita will do well sometime in the future. Of course I understand in the present it would be too expensive

josephayal4462d ago

Looks amazing! Is a Gaming PC in ur hands

Lenovo rep recommends 'Y'-series laptops for gaming

Lenovo's 'Y' series of laptops is recommended for gaming and entertainment. At least, that's what company representative Michael Littler expressed at the 2012 CES when he was asked to show News10's Game Guys what Lenovo has in the way of upcoming computers for gamers.

ATi_Elite4464d ago (Edited 4464d ago )

not bad but he didn't give any solid CPU/gpu specs.

looks to have quality sound.

xAlmostPro4464d ago

I work with computers a fair bit, lenovo's are always popping up with faults. I'll pass :)

h311rais3r4464d ago

In other words "Y" bother lol

kevnb4464d ago

No thanks, msi, asus and even alienware are miles ahead. yes i said alienware, they are much better than some people think for price to performance ratio... just check the notebook review forums.
