zazen Posted November 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Players are split into two teams: Enlightened and Resistance. You turn on GPS on your phone and walk around to collect energy. Local landmarks (statues, notable buildings etc) are 'portals' - essentially sites that need to be captured. You deploy resonators to capture the portals for your team, or you can attack portals that the other team owns. Portals can be linked, and when you link three in a triangle you create a field. There's a whole bunch of different levels for resonators, weapons and players, carefully engineered so that players need to work together to build high energy links, or to destroy the links of the other team. Started playing last week, and have visited lots of local statues and artworks that I didn't know existed before. Was sprinting around at lunchtime trying to stop the other team from destroying a key portal and bringing down one of our major fields. Cycled around for miles yesterday claiming new portals.

Guest Frankie5fingers Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 i can see the future. two guys on opposing teams will be trying to "capture" something and then itll end up in an actual fist fight in the street. oh by the way, this is stupid.

lumpenprol Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 interesting, but isn't this only borderline augmented reality...is it possible to see things that aren't there if you hold an android based phone up to see the statue, for example? That'd be kind of cool. If they made it so that success in building a triangle got you like...a free coffee at Starbucks, this would be a fun game to play.

FUCK That's the worst thing i've ever eaten. The flesh simply doesn't cleave to the bones. Battery ferming. And then, foie gras is banned from NY state, because it's considered as ill-treat. IT'S NOT. KFC is tourist ill-treat. YOU POISONERS! Two hours after being to KFC, i stopped in a amsih little town barf all that KFC shit out. Nice work!

oscillik Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 btw it's so fucking easy to fake GPS location data and trick the game, it's not even funny. just put a fake location app in /system/apps and you don't even need to turn on the developer options in Android - it'll still spoof location data and the game will happily accept it.

thehauntingsoul Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Cool idea for a game. Oscillik's game breaking revelation is little more than defeating the purpose of playing in the first place. I doubt many people will bother doing that.
