Looks pretty cool. I don’t think the pics are too misleading as rjejr comments about and I am sure trailers and screenshots will show the game as the player will see it.
Personally, I want to find out more about this Disney deal. That could be amazing! I hope to see the adventures of Mickey Mouse or something cool like that. Can’t wait.

OK, I’m confused. I see a photo of a boy staring straight down into a book. A book which will just be filled with blank pages and all of the action will only be view able on the tv screen. So why is the boy looking at the book? We have Eyepet and we love it, but maybe the advertising for this shouldn’t be so full of lies.

Disclaimer: I watched the E3 on stage presentation for Wonderbooks and all of the people on stage trying to play with this seemed overly confused. Either they couldn’t get it to work correctly or they had no idea what they were supposed to be doing or where they were supposed to be looking.

I realize tv commercials are meant to be full of lies – like stuffed animals that magically come to life, my niece was in complete tears when hers didn’t – but this is a video game site and I would like to see some actual gameplay experiences before I invest any time or money into Wonderbooks b/ call we’ve been shown so far is marketing BS.

I’d be down for an HD Playstation Eye… I mean, the PS Eye is awful and so impossible to get a decent visual on.

And even if you manage to get it at it’s best, it’s still SD and a little grainy. Mixed in with HD game assets. :/

I would throw that piece of poo out the window the second an HD camera was made available, preferably with some better motion tracking to compete against Kinect better. Sony could have had that success if you had just invested in it more.

Anyhoo, I really hope you don’t price yourself out of being successful with this. I’m curious how games actually will be sold. Is it going to be blurays? Or PSN games to go with the book?

Depending on how much it is, I might talk to my sister about teaming up to buy it (and a PS3) for my niece because of the Dinosaur game.

This grabbed my attention way more than book of spells did. Even though I like Harry Potter a lot, Book of Spells just doesn’t look appealing to me which is unfortunate. We’ll see what this game looks like when it comes out. I hope Wonderbook isn’t stupid expensive (I’m not sure how it could be).

Are there plans to contract Bret Easton Ellis or Chuck Palahniuk for WonderBook creations?

I agree with Post #13

Now if only the PS Eye looked THAT good.

So is Wonderbooks gonna ship with an upgraded PS Eye…? Cause I have NEVER seen a quality image out of that terrible camera like you show here. Maybe it’ll let us the Vita camera. Much better camera.
