According to lead developer Nic Doucet, SCE London Studio isn’t thinking one and done in regards to
EyePet. The studio believes and intends to make the augmented reality pet game a weird franchise for an audience that refuses to get a real cat.
“For us, it’s the beginning,” lead developer Doucet told
VG247 in a recent phone conversation. “We’re creating a franchise. We’re hoping to really rally a lot of support and have a big success.”
“The intention is to build something bigger than a single game.”
Wait we will to see what
EyePet indeed deserves a couple spin-off games and whatever else comes with a franchise. Earlier this month
SCE confirmed that the North American version of the title wouldn’t make it out of London Studio in time for a holiday release. It’s now set to hit in the 2010 window, with further, hopefully more specific details coming “very soon.”

My buddy's kids are climbing the walls for it, they're fucking excited. I'm almost ashamed that I'm about as excited as them.
How can this not be full of win.
Oh, yeah, buy domain names too!
It just looks so...soulless. There's no life in those eyes in that image. I'd much rather get a cat, because then I can watch it do amusing things and have an actual pet that'll do more than my fish.
Passing this up when I get my PS3, myself.
The resemblance really is uncanny. Despite that, I am looking forward to this. I've got a nephew who's about two and he'll probably go crazy for it.
I think he's cute, however you can totally imagine him creating evil spawn like Gremlins. That would be a pretty sweet spin-off actually.
