This Clever PS4 Platformer Makes a Strong Case for the PlayStation Camera

Push Square: "Outside of free augmented reality application The Playroom – and a selection of nefarious online streams – Sony’s yet to really make a compelling case for the existence of the PlayStation 4’s enhanced EyeToy-esque camera. However, that’s not stopping German outfit Grandé Games from having a crack, with its upcoming PlayStation 4 exclusive Commander Cherry's Puzzled Journey."

This game honestly makes me want to get a PS4 PlayStation camera. I mean it's kind of expensive just to buy it for one game, but hopefully more innovative stuff can follow in the footsteps of this game!

[Kingthrash360]

good luck, a friend of mine wants one but cant find them anywhere.

[krouse93]

Oh wow, I didn't realize they were selling so well... That bodes well for future titles and apps!

[Kingthrash360]

i was surprised myself..i got mine early so i havent had to look for one. when my homie finally got his ps4 in december he has been looking for them since...no luck to this day

[Hicken]

I wonder how many units the camera has sold. Is it possible more PSEyes have been sold than XB1s? Wouldn't that be a kick in the nuts?

[abzdine]

it certainly didn't impress me but i can see good possibilities going out of this. a bit like binary 0 and 1 generating everything else. the basic idea is the hardest one to find.

[FamilyGuy]

Sorry but this looks like garbage lol.
I'm sure more clever uses of the camera have been thought up and implemented than this. The Playroom itself is better, like waaay better.

Maybe my expectations were too high, I wasn't expecting that at all.

Standing in poses to make platforms is not my idea of fun or innovative.

[GameSpawn]

Garbage yes, but most games start out like this.

Remember it is possible to polish a turd:

I'm glad this is just a concept, because if this EVER was made into a final game it sure needs a boatload of polish.

@gold5225. The irony is that Microsoft heavily promoted the Kinect as a feature of the Xbone, and charged $100 more for it but didn't release any games for it. Sony didn't focus on marketing their camera but Twitch streaming and the Playroom have become a cult hit and this has created a demand.

[t-hall785]

kinect sport rivals and microsoft fitness is a decent start.

[Mr Pumblechook]

@t-hall785. Kinect Sports Rivals is not available to purchase. It's release was delayed for quality control reasons.

[Nanux]

Nice i bought camera because indie can make fun games on it ;)

[Utalkin2me]

You bought a camera, cause you had the option too =).

[Bathyj]

I think George Lucas is gonna sue somebody.

[Lionsguard]

Why? He doesn't own Star Wars anymore. I think you mean Disney is going to sue someone and before they sue, I'm sure they'll just send a cease and desist.

[Bathyj]

True forgot about that, but I was actually quoting Jay and Silent Bob Strike back. ;)

[Destrania]

Hmm, interesting.

[SaveFerris]

I'd buy it if it came with the horse head.

[PeaSFor]

they cost 25$, i got the normal and a licorn.

[thebudgetgamer]

[pyramidshead]

What....the hell did I just watch lol o.O

[giovonni]

did you guys really enjoy that?

[Omar91]

Yea that kind of made me not wanna try out my ps camera lol

[HammadTheBeast]

Points for the horse head.

[theshredded]

Definately innovative

[mhunterjr]

I'm all for creative implementation of motion controls... but this really doesn't look that interesting to me.

I hope he keeps at it though!

[TheLastGuardian]

It's a neat concept, but I don't like the idea of having to stand up while playing.

That sound when you collect a giant golden cherry tho.

[rayzorn]

wow i didint think that looked fun at all. i mean yeah they are finding new ways to use the camara and all. but damn i dont have no intrest in doing that.

[ForgottenProphecy]

I had low expectations going into the video, but I must say that I'm impressed.

[XiSasukeUchiha]

Nice concept !

[WeAreLegion]

This looks pretty cool, actually.

[KakashiHotake]

Now that looks like a fun game for the PS Eye. This is one of the main reasons Sony been pushing indies so hard. They're the only ones willing to try something new and creative.

[jacksjus]

That game looks beyond trash.

[TristanPR77]

I'm surprised developers are working with these features so early. It looks like they are embracing them.

[EverydayGuy]

I can totally see a co op mode or online, would be hilarious.

[chrisarsenalsavart]

That just gave me an idea!
That could be the future for the lemmings series.

[Plasticgearsolid]

Looks fun, and funny, with a great use of the camera

[nfl]

Nice to see neymar playing video games. ;)

[sgtGanGreen]

OMG this is so lame loooool
