    Yeah... I guess Augmented Reality pets will only be interesting once something like Denno Coil becomes reality...

    Neat technology but I still don't like the creature. It's too retarded for close-minded folk like myself.

    I love these videos and there insistence that "there is no pet on this table."

    It wouldn't be much of an augmented reality pet game if there was a real non-virtual pet involved, now would it?

    Unless you want to make your pet chihuaha look like a fire-breathing dragon. In which case you better have a damn well-behaved (and well-trained!) chihuaha...

    It won't "soon be coming," it came a long time ago with Eye of Judgment. I think they're still going to be struggling with how to make an actual game out of it, though. Augmented reality is a cool idea, but they haven't quite figured out what to do with it yet.

    Finally, my dream of having to wash, feed and clean up after both a real AND a virtual pet will come true. I wonder if they'll let you wipe his virtual crap off the table when he makes a virtual accident.

    @PlanEx:

    people (especially kids) like virtual pets.
    Sure the 15+ avg male gamer may not, but there is a need. Heck I might get it for my 5 yr old cousin.

    I never really understood virtual pets. They are not capable of loving you.

    Yeah, let's see...


    Sunglasses, keys, cell phone, bacon wallet, andpossibly my iPod. The last thing I want to do is carry another goddamn brick in my pocket that requires constant fondling. I have enough equipment for that as it is.

    I had a Tamagotchi once as a kid, and it was so needy/kept beeping that I smushed it all the way back in my clothes dresser. I think I found it 2 years later.


    /end Erica story.

    I like the chicken option. Because when I think of a cute and cuddly animal that I want to play games with... I think of chickens.
