SEGA pledges support for the EyeToy in the shape of this mini-game extravaganza, featuring popular SEGA characters…
Without doubt the success of the EyeToy is set to continue into 2004, as SEGA today became the latest third-party publisher to pledge support for the innovative Playstation2 peripheral.
Confirming the development of SEGA Superstars exclusively for the Playstation2, the title will contain a host of SEGAâs best-known and most popular characters and is currently in development at Sonic Team â“ having given us the joys of Samba de Amigo, this is certainly one party game weâre looking forward to.
Set to make its full debut at E3, sadly specific details are not yet known; however we can safely assume that a variety of party/mini-games starring popular characters from Sonic the Hedgehog, Samba de Amigo, Virtua Fighter, House of the Dead, and much more will be the likely offering. On a slightly worrying note, the first screens depict extremely similar offerings to those featured in EyeToy: Play, leaving us to hope this isnât just a skinned title themed around SEGA properties â“ although the return of Samba is enough to make us weep like a little child.
Yuji Naka, President, SONICTEAM, commented, "EyeToy is a whole new way of interfacing with a game and in this respect, a very interesting proposition for a game developer. I think there are many creative ways we'll be able to use the camera with great potential for fun. It's great to have the opportunity to reach a wider audience through a new system like this and I'm really excited to be developing a game like SEGA SuperStars for EyeToy."
Matthew Woodley, European Marketing Director, SEGA Europe Ltd, commented "EyeToy is such a perfect way of engaging a broader base of consumers in a very social, fun style of gaming. With a huge portfolio of recognisable IP, and popularity with diverse groups of gamers, we're really excited to be able to revitalize some of our greatest stars using this great new technology."
"With innovative peripherals like EyeToy, Sony demonstrates how new, interactive experiences will extend the PlayStation 2 lifecycle," said Scott A. Steinberg, Vice President of Entertainment Marketing, SEGA of America, Inc. "SEGA SuperStars offers up many of our marquee franchises - Sonic the Hedgehog, Virtua Fighter, and Samba de Amigo - all enhanced for this fresh, social, and interactive gaming medium."
Weâll have more information soon.
