playstation eye & birds of prey?

TrackIR style tracking would polish this game to a mirror finish! lol

I wonder if there are API's available for devs, so the tracking is there as such, it just has to be implemented to the corresponding controls. In other words, R3 is assigned to the motion track output.

If the tracking has to be written in house, I imagine that's quite a mission and it probably won't happen.

The devs have done a stirling job with this game though. I've been waiting and waiting for Storm of War, but I suddenly stumbled across this and I think it just finally killed my PC - Total War is all that's left to play on it!

Sony should do the dang API for this.

They make these peripherals, they need to make implementing them in game as easy as possible.

Taken from the GT Forum

Yeah you know their not going to just throw it out there, without testing. Is this a confirmed feature?

If you mean the head tracking, no it isn't. PD had some information up on their site that was quickly taken down. Apparently, translating the info was tricky even for Japanese speakers. The phrase in question could be taken as head tracking with pseye. I tried translating in google translate and came up with something refering to looking around the 3d c0ckpit but it didn't mention the pseye. That could be controller based and not pseye. So just like everything else, we will have to wait and see.

Guilty is correct it is not a confirmed feature but if it does come this will freaking rule. They must have other plans for this camera besides eye pet thing.
