Eye of Judgment's creatures and card types
PlayFrance recently sat down with Aurélien Poma, the Community Manager from SCEE and got him to spill the beans on the upcoming PS Eye title, the Eye of Judgment. Since the interview was in French, we had to rely on our friends at Gamers-Creed to do the translation and luckily they've done a great write-up on it.
Utilizing the PlayStation Eye, the game is played using a pack of collectible cards (with varying rarities and upcoming expansion packs) and an included 'game mat' which you lay out in front of the PS Eye. Players draw five cards for use in taking over the playing field. By placing a card on the field, the camera will scan it and create the monster in full 3D on the TV screen. Additional information about your monster (strength, special powers, type of attack) can be found on the card itself, a nice touch which keeps the on-screen game from getting too cluttered.
They've also confirmed that there will be online play, a fantastic addition for lonely hermits with no local friends to play with. It will be interesting to see how they deal with cheating though, seems like that would be a pretty bad risk in this sort of game. In another cool little tidbit, Sony mentioned that the game can be played entirely without the Sixaxis, meaning you won't be swapping back and forth from the gameboard to the controller in the course of a match.
A ton of additional information about gameplay and card types was given in the interview, so check it out! Also ThreeSpeech has their own write-up of Eye of Judgment with even more info, so if you're a CCG fan -- you're in luck. It's information overload!

This does look cool. Minus the whole gay YuGiOh thing of course.

I never really got into trading card games like Yougioh and Pokemon.

Konami should take note and make a Yu-Gi-Oh game on the PS3 since they have the rights to make Yu-Gi-Oh video games and the Trading Cards

I think that this game having online capabilities is going to be pretty big. I am wondering though if they are going to keep updating cards. I mean they can really milk this releasing new cards every so often much like Magic. I don't think I will get it but it looking pretty neat.

The cheating thing could be easily avoided by registering your deck with the system first. Then, the system draws the cards for you and displays what card you got; playing a card not in your virtual hand would be considered an illegal move. It's simple and it's effective.
I'm pretty sure they said in an earlier interview, that you had to register a deck, to play online.

I wish they would do this with Magic: The Gathering. I know about 5 people that would buy a PS3 just for that.

I wouldn't buy a card game and play it, I know no one who would play me. But I would like to try this, with other people around the world. The idea of using the console is much more enticing than just cards. Must be why I kept playing those Mario board games on the 'Cube...
