EyePet 2 Announced by Sony Europe
EyePet, the interactive PlayStation Eye title centered around having a virtual pet, hasn’t even been released in North America yet. However, that hasn’t stopped from a sequel already being announced.
Sony Europe head honcho George Fornay confirmed EyePet 2, stating that the title was currently in development. He even went on to say that EyePet 2 could arrive this year on PlayStation 3. No further information was given. The original released in Europe on October 23rd 2009, although (as stated above), it still has not reached North America. The game was delayed from it’s original US October release into 2010, with many believing it was to coincide with the PlayStation Arc (motion controller). Now that the Arc has been delayed as well, EyePet may be seeing a late 2010 release for North America. But really, who knows?
If you’re in Europe, did you buy EyePet? What would you like to be improved for the sequel? And for North American readers, will you be picking up the game when it hits? Post your comments, and share your opinions, below!

What needs to be improved? The camera’s dynamic range. It can be very frustrating, especially for the little ones.
Mind you, Arc should fix that.
You mean “IF IT COMES TO USA”??????
this is ridiculous. i have been semi-interested since it was first announced (mainly from a tech standpoint) but my girlfriend was really excited. i think it goes without saying that she is quickly losing interest due to numerous delays. and now the second one is in development and slated for release sometime this year? WTF? i do use my PSEye for online gaming as a mic, for podcasts and for video chatting with friends, but the lack of gaming software for the peripheral has been really frustrating. i feel a bit robbed. it feels like a long wait to finally get my hands on the so called “Arc” so that i can get more use out of my PSEye. i will most likely pick up both of these titles when released but i certainly won’t be jumping with joy.
As me & the kids have plat’d the 1st eyepet they would be over the moon for a 2nd! Some things need to be enhanced for sure but just some new mini-games etc would be cool! Kids would love the ‘ARC’ features but i dont think this would change the game much atall really! I have always wondered why the ps3 cam aint HD tho???! & To all the u.s why dont u just import it??? Iv imported alot the other way (uk) and all seems fine…….!!! Eyetoy was really cool for Burnout Paradise & Zen pinball + chatting and as a MIC etc.. but it needs tonz more games/features deffo…! Mezmerise was cool for 20mins odd LOL
the number 2 game will probably feature new pets and maybe have that rumored new camera.
No thanks, I’ve got a real cat lol.
Cats are COOL!!!
But seriously though, a sequel? Man will we ever get to see 8 Days and The Getaway green lighted again?
so Europe might get the second game close to the same time we are just getting the first here in the US?? Releasing within the same year seems ridiculous to me, any changes they make that quickly should come as a patch, update, or DLC
maybe we’ll just get the 2nd one?
I am flabbergasted. wouldn’t the devs want all their potential markets playing the first before they put out the second? I am sure the second will be better, so why would we in the US even bother with the first game?
it would have been good if the damn cute pet jumped out in the screen when tapping the magic card in the beginning. it gets more frustrating when the camera only detects only one side of the magic card.
I think ours will be just a combination of what’s good in it. I’d be more pissed if I dished out 30+ for this and then they came out with the sequel (to a, lets face it, tech dick ruler) for the same price that will probably include everytrhing from the first and then improvements.
