Screens & Info Updated: 9/30/2004 Sega just sent over some new screens from the recent TGS. Check 'em out.
It's definitely nice to see a third party company support Sony's very cool little PlayStation 2 peripheral. Naturally, Sega has decided to give it a try, with SEGA SuperStars. SEGA SuperStars for EyeToy, currently in development at SEGA's Sonic Team studio, will leverage the camera control-method featured in EyeToy to bring a new level of interactivity to the company's core brands such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Samba de Amigo, Virtua Fighter and more. 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." "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." 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." SEGA Super Stars is a compilation of 12 mini games featuring classic SEGA characters and games redesigned exclusively for Eye Toy. Now instead of just playing a favorite SEGA game, gamers are part if it! Race through Sonic’s Super Speed Tube, go bananas with Super Monkey Ball, battle Akira or Lau of Virtua Fighter fame in a toe-to-toe power attack and play a variety of instruments in Samba de Amigo rhythm. Multiple mini games across a variety of genres ensure that there is plenty of fun for the entire family.
