Eye of Judgement -- The Game That Will Make You Buy a PS3?

Hot Damn! Eye of Judgement smoking hot Gameplay and InterviewVids!
If there is any one game that will make me run out to grab a PS3 ... this is the game.
I've been a CCG junkie in the past ... and this combines two of my most cherished hobbies in life.
Gameplay Movie 4 gives a feel for how the cards will work. Also a nice long interview about the game as well. Sounds like it's going to be a full fledge CCG, with expansions, booster packs and so forth. Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro are involved in making the game and booster pack distribution.
For those saying it won't sell, from what I understand this type of gaming is extremely popular in Japanese Arcades right now ... I have a feeling the game will do extremely well in Japan and could possibly catch fire here in North America too.
Watch the Interview Vid ... it lay's it all out how the game works.

Watch the video, the interview one first then gameplay vids. It is really unique what they are doing with this title.
Cards come with the game (starter) and then you have to buy boosters. Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro are involved in making the game so it's going to have a MTG type bent.

Not quite enough to make me want to buy it though. :P
Mostly because it took me 6 years to drop MTG. Last thing I need is another TCG.

Well I forgot what I was getting at.
North America I suspect there will be a hardcore audience that develops but the game will probaly remain relatively niche due to the expensive cost of entry -- a PS3.

We don't know but if Hasbro and wotc are involved I don't think its going to be all that much, they like money too much to bank on cards selling only to console/hardware owners.
Then again, a similar game would probably be just as good.
I'm trying to look at this from a business perspective.
I mean, either the Card company want the card game to be independant, with the PS3 being a possible feature. This means the PS3 attachment sales might hurt a bit.
OR
The PS3 company wants the Game to be a necessity. Which means the sales of the cards themselves might hurt, as you are restricting your consumers to only PS3 owners that also like TCGs.
Either way it looks like someone is going to be alienated. Those that both have a PS3 and love TCGs are in heaven... just trying to figure out if anyone outside of that range would pick this up.

Well like I said kids have no concept of money, and this essentially being real life yugioh. If this is marketed right this game could push consoles right into kids hands, I wouldn't be surprised if for the holidays we maybe see a discounted EoJ-PS3 bundle marketed towards kids.
Trust me.
They have arcades dedicated to card games that work under the same concept.
How well it does in North America is probaly a secondary concern to how well it does in Japan where the PS3 has a decent market share.
In the interview it say's the camera comes with the game.
But yeah if you don't already have a PS3, it is definately an expensive proposition. In my case however I've just been waiting for an exclusive game to come along to justify the purchase of a PS3.
This is that game.
Wow. It might be doable then.
It's an online CCG that offers the physical collectable aspect that no other online CCG has been able to do before.
As for what it does over a normal card game ... you said it yourself, seeing your cards do 'neat' stuff on the screen. You also have the added benefit of the computing power to crunch the numbers in terms of terrain benefits/keeping track of spells/stat modifyers.
My only real hope is that the use the camera/PS3 aspect of it to do something deep and technical with the card game and don't try to make something cheap, shallow but apealing to kids like Yugioh.
I mean, if you can have your cards battle in a 3d area you ought to be able to do all sorts of interesting things with line of sight, numbers, physics, terain etc.
Don't know if it will be enough to make me shell out all the cash for a PS3, but still interesting.
I have a feeling that initially the game will be fairly basic (your standard MTG style CCG), with booster packs adding in new concepts as the game matures.
And you are right, there is a crapload of interesting things they could do with a 3D arena.
From the videos, it looks like it won't use the 3d to do anything interesting like that. It looks like each card is confined to a square and only moves out of it to attack. I think a 3d card game with the eye toy could do some interesting things.
Edit: Is this just a card game or a collectible card game with booster packs and stuff like that?
Yup its a fully featured card game boosters and all.
The PS3 seems like a good fit.
I'd imagine that it wouldn't be all that difficult to have your deck displayed on-screen so that the other player would be able to see it at all times. That doesn't solve the problem of stacking the deck pre-game, but it would greatly eliminate situational cheating.
Still, if your opponent saw you cheat, could they do anything other than forfeit the game?
