What you need to remember is that nowadays USB is a very generic concept....anything that connects via USB to a USB-equipped machine is capable of working with it. Typical example, an external HDD works with my SKY HD+ box.
@medilegal999 Note the date of posting & also the fact that at the time most Wacom devices needed (and I think still do) special drivers to function properly. Since you can't install drivers on your PS3, it's kind of cool that it works well without them.
I don't think so because it seems to view the tablet as a generic mouse. It won't load any drivers. Come to think of it, I wonder if my new Intuos4 will work at all. I'll have to try that when I get home.
I always thought about doing this with mine, just never did, thanks for posting. as for this working in a game, I've seen a video where they used a mouse and keyboard (on PS3) to control Unreal Tournament 3. so I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use a wacom in-game, as long as the game supports mouse controls.
Seriously though have you seen that tank game in which the camera captures what your drew. Just imagine if they make some sort of game that fully supports tablets. something like Okami, that would be awesome @_@
yeah exactly, plus there could be some good party games with it like the one in shockwave except better.
I would imagine that this would com in handy with something like Little Big Planet since dragging the objects would be made 100x more simpler or just imagine if you could morph or apply texture to the objects using the tablet. All sorts of possibilities so hopefully sony will make it more compatible but I'd imagine it would be more costly since tablets aren't cheap
One person had mentioned the possibility of drawing your own textures for objects in the game. What about a Pictionary type game or a game that would have you draw to progress like drawing in bridges of even guns and tanks. Sorta like what you were saying. There are so many things you could do with this.
I can only hope that someone with the know how to exploit this sees this video and becomes inspired.
The price would be prohibitive. Some of the cheaper ones run about 70 bucks but that is about the same price as buying a Guncon which as far as I know only works with one game. If they could make this work with many game it could be worth it. Civilization Revolution comes to mind.
I know and I didn't do anything special. I just recorded it and uploaded it without any changes and a couple people have told me the same thing. Guess my camera is just good for this sort of thing.
Question: on the ps3, does the tablet operate in conventional mouse style, as in a dragging cursor, or will the cursor "jump" if you lift the pen and relocate it to another part of the tablet?
Once you start using a pen and tablet for design you never want to go back to drawing/manipulating with a mouse aka the bar of soap. It just allows for so much more control especially if your an illustrator.
They one I have is a Wacom Intuos3 4x6 Wide Format Pen Tablet so it is one of the smaller ones and it runs a little over $200 depending on where you get it.
Cool, becareful with how close your PS3 is to other objects, make sure you got a fan on it or some kind of space. If I recall it needs at least 5 inches in every direction.
Bah. My PS3 sits right next to my receiver - maybe an inch of space between. Yes, both get quite warm, but neither has any problem running all night together.
Yeah, it'd definitely be interesting to try and play with a stylus. Do you have any other games that support keyboard & mouse (I'm not even sure there ARE any others yet)
I don't think there are either. I haven't really tested it with anything except a few PSN titles. I thought Pixel Junk Monster would be cool and might have a chance at working but it got no response.
i wasnt listening cause i was watching boogie nights,but i guess you cant play games,or i didnt see you playn a game.maybe someone will make a driver or wotever be like the ds lol
Hey thanks. I was a little nervous about posting. I'm generally kind of shy but I thought other people would care to know about it so here it is. Glad you enjoyed it.
Yeah, cool that you tried it out. I have plugged my keyboard in the PS3 before, but I just assumed the tablet wouldn't work. I generally use my tablet on my computer when my mousing arm gets tired. I'm left handed for writing, so I keep my tablet on the left, but I mouse with my right, so I can alternate between them. ;P A drawing game for PS3 would be neat, like that flash game where you draw the levels, Sled something...?
i'm eager to try mine out with LBP2. It would ROCK the level editor.
