The skofflaws at IGN have discovered how to cheat at Eye of Judgment, SCE Japan’s new turn-based collectible card + video game mash-up for the PlayStation 3.
Players purchase and collect battle cards, which are then scanned in using the PlayStation Eye camera peripheral. But IGN reports a fatal flaw: the Eye can’t tell the difference between a real card and a color copy.
As a result, sneaky online players will be able to download a torrent of every single card and stack their deck the way they want.
On the one hand, this is cheating, and it’s wrong. Why play at all if you’re gonna cheat? On the other hand, collectible card games are a scam. Who wants to pay good money for a chance to get the card you want?
Still, Eye of Judgment is highly anticipated, and was very popular at Sony Gamer Day. We’ll have to see how Sony deals with this issue, if at all.
