Played my PS3 for the first time in the past 3 years and the controller doesn't feel as bad as it use to. I think because i had small hands but it felt alright still not as comfortable as the xbox controller but i liked it when i was playing Marvel vs Capcom 3
Does anyone know what the PS Eye is like? I actually like Kinect but I don't want to get the Xbox. Is the Eye similar to or as good as kinect?
The eye will become obsolete since they aren't packing it in with the ps4. Developers won't go out of their way to develop for it if they don't know how many people will even buy it.
Here is a demo of the ps4 eye and the move functionality of the dual shock 4. It was posted earlier in the thread, pretty impressive in how accurate it is.

It will have a handful of games that is always gets since the PS2. But if devs do use the Kinect for the X1, there is no reason they can't give those same features/functions in the game to the PS4 version as an option to those who do purchase the eye.
why would you want multy display out? mirroring? because thats all it would be able to as it would not be able to render 2 different streams
Watching TV or Netflix and playing a game at the same time
Bring up youtube and watch a walkthrough while you're playing if you get stuck
Letting people play two less intensive PSN titles at the same time
Co-op on dual monitors instead of split screen (even if they have to be rendered at 600p each)
Sports games where you can browse a full playbook without worrying about your friend guessing the play you might have called
Card games where you don't want anyone to see your hand
Managing inventory etc. in multiplayer games like Skylanders or other Gauntlet style crawlers without having to interrupt play for everybody
Following the auction house while playing D3
Clever games/gameplay scenarios that haven't been explored yet because dual displays on consoles have never even been an option for devs (outside of the DS and maybe Wii U)
Pretty much anything that can be done with dual displays that isn't limited to a completely narrow "if I can't play Killzone @ 2160p I have no use for more than one display" thought process
Does the PS Eye have the same features as the Kinect though? I haven't heard much about it, so I really don't know.
It has two high sensitivity cameras (1280x800 x2 resolution@80fps, 648x480@120fps, 320x192 @240fps) with wide angle lenses(85deg field of view), 4 microphones that can pickup voice commands and is capable of sound detection as well as source origination. You can log in to the PS4 through facial recognition. It does RAW and YUV uncompressed video.
That's nice and all, but can it match everything the Kinect can do? Full body skeleton tracking all the way down to the way your wrist bends? Recognize facial expressions? Read your heartbeat?
Whether the Kinect 2 can do that or not, who knows, but I didn't think the original Kinect would be able to do what they were saying and I was pretty much wrong.
I can see developers porting over stuff like voice commands and video with multi-console games, but the full-body stuff is where the Kinect will still hold the edge. I believe that games that use the Move technology will be few and far between a year out.
I still have not seen a real demo for the kinect where this functionality is demonstrated and proven to be working. The other problem is in the home with the cat, dog, kids etc moving in view. Could cause issues sure.
That's the thing, I DON'T want to get up and move to play video games. I want to sit on the couch and move as little as possible.

The Kinect is supposed to be able to track 6 people at once, so I doubt a cat or kid walking by would be a problem. Unless, they impacted your movement in some way, but that is a problem no matter the system.
That's the thing, nobody is FORCING you to do that. Don't play games that require it. Simple solution. No reason to get all testy because of a peripheral you don't have to use.
Right. I do hope though that there isn't portions of a game that force you to use it at one point or another. Like opening an airlock, you have to drop the controller and turn the wheel virtually. Didn't uncharted do this with the six axis controller at some spots?
