[garyopa]

A Fatal Frame spin-off for 3DS.



From Fatal Frame developers,Tecmo, here it comes a horror Augmented Reality game!

If you have played a Fatal Frame game, you know the series are really scary. Now, here it comes a new spin-off from Tecmo-Koei, which shows a new way to use the 3DS AR capabilities.

On this game, the 3DS will act as a camera, and you will be able to see and capture ghosts through Augmented Reality. It really looks like a neat concept.

Previously known as Spirit Camera, the game is scheduled to be released next month in Japan.

That looks interesting, I wonder what kind of AR games we will see in the future.

The imagination is really the only limit with that kind of interaction.

You know something that might be kind of cool, old fogies might remember a show called Captain Power. Now lets see if I can remember it correctly... lol

In Captain Power you had a sort of video game system with a light gun and when the show came on or you played the VCR tape you could shoot the bad guys.

Maybe Nintendo or some third party could revive the concept only with AR based games, the limited processing back in the day made Captain Power super cheesy but these days you could really do some wild stuff. The Vita and the 3DS could both do it so you could even have the same show work for both machines.



Edit: Well I was sort of close with my description lol

i am getting more and more tepted to pick up a 3DS as the months go by, I probably won't but you never know if more games liek this that are more for the adult market become more widespread I may well bite the bullet and get one. The only thing still putting me off is the way the 3D is done gives me a headache.
