EyePet sequel coming to PS3 later this year photo

Over on the PlayStation Blog, it has been announced that EyePet & Friends is currently being developed for a 2011 release on the PlayStation 3. New features for the game will include support for PlayStation Move and the ability to have two players (and two EyePets) at the same time. Additionally, players will be able to create their own content for the game in a new mode.

Those fuzzy bastards are pretty cute, probably cute enough to drive some sales of PlayStation Move controllers. And in families where there are two kids... Well, I guess we can all see where this is going. It's likely going to be a pretty good year for that controller.

EyePet is back and this time he's got company [PlayStation Blog]

Eyepet really straddles the line between cute and creepy.

How bout a game where we take care of a Sackboy....a much more cuter companion.

Hell, even Tag from Modnation would be better....

Yeeeeeah,,, If I was forced to choose between this, Kintectimals or Nintendogs + cats with would have to be one of the last two.

I just want to kill this mogwai reject.

The look of the critter in Eyepet always reminds me of the "Creatures" games on PC and PS1.

Damn Eyepets and Kinectimals. There is something about them that doesn't creep me out, but they make me angry. Is that normal?

Eyepet is so adorable and lovable, so WHAT are you guys talking about! Mine is named Sparta and can draw a penis-shaped plane better than all of you

My 5 year old daughter LOVES Eyepet. Yeah, it's not exactly the height of game design, but with the help of this game, I'm raising the next generation of gamer, and I think that's pretty damned awesome.

The Eyepet is a great babysitting tool.

The way those kids are smiling in that header image isn't natural looking at all. I'm mean even if all of the Kinect promo shots have people looking like idiots, at least it seems genuine. What this pic says to me isn't that they are having fun, but rather that they were posed to fit the frame with those Eye Pets. It's kind of an unsell, unless this is also marketed as a child obedience tool.

I looked up before I hit the comment button because I hadn't yet. I will kill Corduroy Turtle and everything he stands for.

Who in gods name would allow their children to be subject to this horrible pile of refuse?

I mean, look at it!



Thats not a "I want to be friends" stare. That is a I will feast on your nightmares for all eternity stare. That is the expression I would expect some foul eldritch abomination to give me before it brings about the end of mankind.

My 2 y/o loves the Eyepet. And Sony must be on top of their marketing, because as I was scrolling through this article she said "Their are TWO Eyepets! I wanna buy another one." I don't know if my "One is more than enough" statement changed her conviction though.

And no, I'm not intimidated by these things. Their design is pretty consistent with a lot of products targeted at the pre-school demographic.

I think you all stayed up late watching Chucky movies way too much.

Sony's campaign of releasing unnecessary shit in order to saturate the market with average titles.
