EyePet : First Screenshots are here

Here are the first ever EyePet screenshots, SCE's new game for the PlayStation 3.

[Deviant]

at children children can use their imagination and create some nice stuff

[nix]

yup. looks freaking cute! q:

[Chubear]

Exactly what I thought. My smallest son and his mom would eat this game up I'm sure.

[C_SoL]

Wow, my nephews will be going nuts.

[buckethead_X]

Everyone has to watch that video. It would make a heck of a news story!

[Sitdown]

Is your smallest son also your youngest? And does he have a different mom than the rest of your kids? The therapist in me found your wording to be very awkward and funny......and whether you meant to or not, you deserve bubbles!

[Jerkapotamus]

I might get this myself if the price is fair. There looks to be some pretty interesting technology (the car for instance) involved in the game and I know my mom would get a kick out of it.

[C_SoL]

MONEY....Which is a good thing for Sony.

EDIT:Yup, u don't need guns, cars, hot chicks & alligators to make a great game.

This is great for children.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Exactly! if they promote this right..they could hook and reel in a huge chunk of Wii's casual market.

[Mr_Showtime1]

And she adores it, even more than the footage of LittleBig I showed her, she's asking for it for christmas now apparently lol.

MS must be kicking themselves now...Your in the movies...HA!

[Canidae]

I have to say that monkey thing is kinda cute. As stated this game marketed correctly could be a huge hit among the casual crowd.

[kingOVsticks]

that monkey type creature is just precious...ahem with LBP and this game sony will snatch away alot of casuals from the wii.I defiantly have to get a eye play before these games come out more so for LBP then this game but damn is it cute.

[Salvadore]

I expected something similar to Nintendogs and looking at these screenshots I was totally blown away. Eye of Judgment was really the first step, but this seems leaps beyond with the level of interactivity.

Would definitely be funny to a bunch of 2 year olds playing around with that.

[Chubear]

See, games like this, and the likes of ToT and Creature feature, is what casual gaming is supposed to be about. Not just random shovleware-waggle-crap-mini-ga mes/lets exercise crap that demean the gaming industry and promote VGing stereotypes.

Cliff B was talking about how he wants to have games where you don't need to press a lot of buttons or use a control pad but here are the tool Sony has provided for them and they dont' use them.

Developers like Cliff B are truly full of crap. The tools are there; put your talent where your mouth is or STFU.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Wow...i pictured it would be like viva piniata graphics..
But this actually looks pretty damn phenominal.

[eagle21]

You pictured Viva Pinata? This is Blu-ray buddy. :P

I pictured crisp Blu-ray graphics and it looks like I was right. But seriously, this is absolutely adorable man. EyePet FTW!

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

;-D

[AngryXbot]

Unbelievable, that actually looks quite good and well done.

And here I thought it would be shiat. Looks like a real casual gamer turn on.

Sony really flirting with the casual gamers right now with Singstar, EyeToy, music and more.

CHECK THIS OUT. Wireless PS3 KEYBOARD IMAGE.

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi]

Cool keyboard that;)

[Fishy Fingers]

ahhhhhhh :)

Wonder if you can let the little buggers run around in your Apartment in Home. Or take them with you on your PSP.

[buckethead_X]

Are you hinting at something, or are those just an idea? They sound like the coolest things they could do with the game.

[Jamegohanssj5]

IT IS ME !

Aww it's so pretty.

The Genius said it.

[PSWe60]

cute little guys, I wonder if we can make them mate with one another

[SeanScythe]

O_o;

[juuken]

o-O;

[cr33ping_death]

lol. funny but i hope not.

[eagle21]

What a cute little fella. :)

[juuken]

Awwwwwwwwww...* ^ *

[Sharpshell]

from looking at that picture, between this game and LBP I am now convinced SONY is trying to kill me by making my head explode from the cuteness... I just can't... take... this... much ... cute

[juuken]

I knooooooooooowz. * ^ *

[Tykis]

Omg thats the cutest thing ever! lol

[rafaleon]

OMG that's SUPER LAME.

But probably fanboys will loved it like every stuff on PS3 :D

[C_SoL]

this game is for immature people like you......

What adult or teenager would like this game???..

Obviously it's targeting younger kids.....

Variety is Sony's main objective throughout the gaming industry.....

[ActionBastard]

Sold. My girls are going to lose their minds. Time to buy another PS3...I have games to play too ya know.

[Lionsguard]

did...that drawing just get converted into a 3d object?? Imagine if LBP had that ability!!

[Cajun Chicken]

Awesome, simply awesome. Playstations in living rooms, child friendly games, mixed genre of games, the way it should be.
I want this.

[AllroundGamer]

i really like the whole idea, but the creature is way too sharp (graphical wise), that it doesn't fit with the lower resolution camera background together, the devs should spend some extra time on postprocess effects.

[Sitdown]

I am not going to lie.......I want this game.......and I will use my super powers to convince my wife that we need it. This game has so much potential....and if all the other animals are as cute as the monkey......then not only will ps3s movies, but it will help establish an even greater based for future games that utilize the eye toy.

[thePatriot]

lil' lombax or mky favorite, petzombie. you could feed him brains and draw stick figures for him to chase arround the screen. you could control the stick figure and and see how long can u survive. that would be awesome

[heyheyhey]

eh? i have a Wii for casual bullcrap like this

this looks positively boring, i seriously hope Sony has some hardcore games to show at Leipzig...because so far, announcing some new Singstar game, this and Savage Moon for the PSN is not enough

@C_Sol

are you stupid? i said LEIPZIG, they showed GOW3 at E3 and that is awesome... very awesome, but im saying that they made a huge fuss about Leipzig and if all they have to show for themselves is Savage Moon, Gti+, Singstar Vol.3 and EyePets on the games side then thats a dissapointment

on the bright side, the hardware and music stuff that they showed was excellent- and the new Heavy Rain footage is amazing

all im saying is... where's Uncharted 2? where's Jak 4 and stuff like that

[C_SoL]

Are you blind? Seriously.

God Of War III anybody????......

Most of the games they've announced haven't even come out.

[Cajun Chicken]

The conference was accustomed to the majority of Europe.
I feel there was a bit of a lack of new games etc.
But I think this time; Sony has their 'Embarrassment of riches'
Still PAX and TGS to go I believe, if that's just the games mainly aimed at the casual and family audience, its going to be an exciting year for PS3 fans by dec even if it involves waiting a little for the games.
I'm a bit let down about no ND game announcement, but hey. Plenty o' time left. Can't complain upgraded PSP, etc.
I love the way Sony is working this gen.
I think Sony just won over Europe and the casual/family audience. :)

[Aclay]

Sony is definantly going after the Casual Audience with EyePet. You would think that something like EyePet would be on the Wii before PS3, but Sony is definantly going to attract some casual gamers with it.

[SeanScythe]

I can already imagine what will be drawn to chase the monkey around.

[rosebowl23]

looks freakin sweet. i see myself being a PSEye in the near future

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I WANNA CUDDLE WITH IT!

[NanoGeekTech]

Like I have said the PS3 Eyetoy will change the way we interact with future games...

My daughter would love that....and she could see herself on TV..that is awesome...

Sony creates new Genres.......

[Sharpshell]

It like a freakin addiction its so cute... I think I'm gonna die. I was annoyed when I first heard about this game but after seeing the screenshots I'm jsut worried my GF will discover this game bc I may never play my PS3 again...

[DecayingMadness]

is what I call revolutionary.

[DiLeCtioN]

the monkey looks cute..another reason for my lil sister to play my PS3 =)

[Figboy]

a Monchichi mixed with a cat-dog thing.

it'd be a freakish abomination if it wasn't so damn cute.

i probably won't buy this game, but it's certainly adorable.

games like this really help to push the PS3 as a device for the whole family:

Parents: Blu Ray movies and games like Uncharted, Heavy Rain, MGS4, Resistance 2, and Killzone 2 (if the parents are gamers). web access will probably appeal to some parents who like to check their mail or news (Life with Playstation brings that aspect to adults also).

Teens: lots of cool games both exclusive and multiplatform from DC Universe and The Agency, Bioshock, Fallout 3, etc.

Younger kids: Eyepet, Singstar Disney, Free Realms, etc. even LBP could entertain them, though i think it's more complicated elements are more hardcore oriented, but the 50 single player levels could have them happy.

for $400, a family would be hard pressed to avoid getting a PS3. the Wii is cute and all, but it really only appeals to one type of demographic, and doesn't have enough quality software to keep it plugged into the TV at all times.

the 360 is a good choice, but it doesn't have the Blu Ray or web browser that may appeal to an adult. and if the adult happens to be a more casual to non gamer, a game like Heavy Rain could go a long way in bringing them into the fold. the 360 doesn't have a game like that at the moment. Alan Wake doesn't even have a tentative release date (sadly. man, i'm really looking forward to that one; it was one of the main reasons why i picked up a 360. it'd be a nice compliment to Heavy Rain if it's as good as i hope it is).

the PS3 is almost a no brainer for a family that wants an HD capable device in their home.

anyway, this game is just too damn cute. between Little Big Planet and this game, Sony seems to have the lockdown on adorable characters this gen next to Nintendo.

EDIT - i also like how Sony implemented that drawing tech demo we saw last year or thereabouts, where the person drew some tanks on the board, and then proceeded to play a game like that Atari game Combat with the tanks he drew.

Nintendo gets all the credit for innovation this generation, but i've yet to see things like HOME, Eyepet (yes, i know about Nintendogs, but i'm referring more to that drawing program within Eyepet), Remote Play, Heavy Rain, Little Big Planet, etc.

[dkgshiz]

Those things look really scary what ever they are.

[cmrbe]

LBP will have a serious partner for Sony's push into the casual market. This game is mainly for the female audience and children. While LBP is for everyone. As usual. A fresh and innovative game from Sony. My nephew will eta this up as he can't be without his curious George teddy. Bravo Sony.

[Jamaicangmr]

This actually looks like alot of fun something me and my lil nephew and neice can play together. The interactivity is second to none this might end up being Sony's Pokemon.

I can't wait to see the Microsoft knockoff to this one. Maybe then the Xboxloyalists will say it's fackin brilliant.

[Miraak82]

I don't ever regret buying a PS eye, you can do so many things with it, I can use it for voice chat ingame instead of a bluetooth HS, you can use it to make and edit video and post them on youtube. I just leave some of the pseye specific games playing in the background on( torimaki, mesmerize, and the trails of topiq) and my family and friends pass by the tv there like woow and start playing nonestop on it, and this game is gonna blow the kids out of the water. I like the way sony is marketing them selves. instead of flooding the market with w/e comes along and with games only few people cares for. They spread out a only handful of quality titles at a time that can appeal to a much broader varity and this titles are mostly guaranteed to generate a large sum of revenue over time that alot of will talk about, quality over quantity.

[Too_Flopped]

I'd prefer an Xbot as pet, like POG or PP. Maybe in a DLC later...
