Viva Pinata 2 Rumored To Support Vision Cam, Cards and Sharing PDF Print E-mail

Another leak from the NeoGAF forums comes in advance of Microsoft Gamer's Day. More rumors on Viva Piņata: Trouble in Paradise reveal the Xbox Live Vision Camera will be used in a similar way that the PLAYSTATION 3's PlayStation Eye is used in Eye of Judgment. Viva Piņata cards can be identified by the Xbox Live Vision camera to not only unlock piņata characters, but also accessories. There's also a rumored "photo mode" which will allow the creation and sharing of unique characters or items.

From a posting on NeoGAF:
1. VP2 uses the Vision Camera in combination with physical cards sorta like Eye of Judgement. It basically scans a small code on the card, when it's being held up in front of the camera, and this can both insert custom designed pinatas, unlock buildings or abilities, change the weather and many other things. We were told how Rare had designed a moose that got a big, red nose only around christmas time... and this could be passed around with these cards.

2. So the game also got a photo mode. Cool, but that's not the best! This photo mode is able to interpret the pictures and create the above-mentioned code based on the picture. Basically, you will have a card generator available on the internet! Imagine this: you have created this really cool pinata and instead of the tiresome task of sending it only to selected friends on Live, you can take a picture of it, get the code/card generated and share it on a forum. Instantly everyone will be able to get the pinata in their game and since the camera can also read from LCD screens, ipods, zunes etc., there is little to no hassle. Now THAT'S sharing!

It's all still a rumor for now, although it won't be much longer until we get some confirmation and updates today from Microsoft Gamer's Day.
