That's exactly what I was going to write.
All Sony EVER does is steal ideas.
So Nintendo sells Kinect to MS, then Sony makes a motion system that uses both a motion-sensing remote and a camera? PS Move? Seriously? Kinect + Wii much?
And then there's even the touch screen! (Nintendo DS)
But now, they've taken it too far with AR. -.-

AR has been around since long before the 3DS or PSP <strike>so shut up and shove your fanboyism up your ass.</strike>


So, in-topic, I totally saw this coming.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I'm talking about how Nintendo's the one who bought it to their handheld system first.
I mean, in case you didn't notice, right when the DSi is announced, Sony announce some gay PSP with a built in camera?
And then this month, with the whole talk about 3DS and its AR, Sony now puts AR in their console?
Tell me it's just a coincidence. -.-
I'm not saying Nintendo invented AR, I'm saying Sony always has to be unoriginal and do something after Nintendo has done it on their console.
And please, I did not use any rude language, so I would appreciate it if you didn't either. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Do you guys even know how to read?
<b>Sony has been doing AR since PS2.</b> PLAYSTATION TWO. PSP have AR even before the DS even DREAMED of having cameras.

God, what a bunch of retards. At least research a little before stating bullshit.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
How? Did the PS2 have a camera accessory? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

One generation out of them all, big deal. Doesn't mean Sony doesn't usually steal some kind of idea. Anyone Sony fan who isn't blinded by their overpriced systems and terrible online (Basing this off of what my friends with PS3s say) will be able to agree.

Company's "steal" ideas to advance, they have to keep up or they won't make profit. <b>The NGP may not be the most unique creation ever, but that doesn't make it complete shit.</b>

No one said it is. It's awesome in it's own way.

Augmented reality is not a main feature, it's more of a gimmick that's you'll use once, maybe twice, then never touch again unless to show off or entertain some child.

Holy shit, just look how many people just read the topic title and state blindly a lot of bullshit. Seriously, the faboyism on this forum is astounding (on a bad way), people don't know nothing, it's like they live in North Korea and think Nintendo invented everything on the world.

That kinda belittling North Korea.

Meh, AR is a completely unappealing feature for me, I really don't find it all that "exhilarating" as it sounds. It's something you'll probably ogle at for a few minutes and then forget it's even there. It's a gimmick in every sense.

Yeah it's a gimmick for now until they make the collision detection between reality and virtual reality a LOT better. Imagine the possibilities....you can have a game where the boss battle takes place in your living room and you have to hide behind your sofa to dodge the attacks....the boss takes a shot at you and misses and blasts your TV instead....your living room gets torn apart as you continue fighting (all on screen of course!)....

Can't wait to see the day it happens!

I still think that's a dumb idea. I don't want to running around like an idiot with my 3DS/NGP/any other device that'll use AR trying to fight imaginary monsters. I just want to play video games. Plus, the whole idea behind a console like the 3DS or the NGP is it being a PORTABLE console. I don't think diving behind sofas is exactly a portable mechanic.

Your not diving, the character(s) you are playing are.

 

[GundamXXX]

I like the concept of AR

But isnt this taking everything way too far?
I think Im going to stay offline for 1 week and only be online for purposes that are needed ie work and my kid

Technology is going way to fast

 

[Oveneise]

Holy crap, there are a lot of insecure fanboys on this thread.

On topic:

I think this feature is very interesting, but not mandatory. It'll be cool to see what Sony will do with this feature.
