One other curious note is that the PlayStation Eye can be used as a full 3D head tracking system, which would mean that not only does it track movement left and right, but forward and back as well, resulting in the ability to move your in-car view left, right, forward and back.

No official date yet, put rumors are before Christmas. Kazunori Yamauchi stated early this week that GT5 will be released soon after GT PSP is released on Oct 1.

When heard about GT5 having head tracker a few days ago, I decided I too would get a PS Eye. If BOP enables it, my purchase would be even more satisfying. Here hoping!

Seeing that it already costs too much extra time to add a few german cockpits, I highly doubt the dev team has the time and resources to add head tracking... not to mention the amount of time needed to tweak it...

they could ask polyphony for the code used by them, but even if they get the code, it still would have to be tweaked to work properly in BOP's engine...

TrackIR style tracking would polish this game to a mirror finish! lol

I wonder if there are API's available for devs, so the tracking is there as such, it just has to be implemented to the corresponding controls. In other words, R3 is assigned to the motion track output.

If the tracking has to be written in house, I imagine that's quite a mission and it probably won't happen.

The devs have done a stirling job with this game though. I've been waiting and waiting for Storm of War, but I suddenly stumbled across this and I think it just finally killed my PC - Total War is all that's left to play on it!

Sony should do the dang API for this.

They make these peripherals, they need to make implementing them in game as easy as possible.

Shouldn't this be high priority if there is an update? Seriously, that would be sweet for IL2. I'd pick up a ps eye instantly.

It would be great if this game would support the eye. Because I AM getting the eye this week.

I wonder how much extra code that would make for? Could be a potential sequel item... i too was waiting on a good reason to get one of those, i'd imagine Sony would love it if another game aside from GT5 were to provide a small spike in eye toy sales.
