See dead people in this Ghostwire trailer

by JC Fletcher { Jun 23rd 2009 at 4:15PM }

A Different Game released a new video for Ghostwire, showing example gameplay of the "augmented reality" DSiWare title. In this game, reality is "augmented" in a way that makes you look more like a person who freaks out randomly on the street, as you are constantly surrounded by ghosts even in the daytime. Constantly. The use of the DSi's secondary camera to provide a rear view of more ghosts seems especially cruel.

We wonder if people who play this a lot start to feel like there are already ghosts all over the place, and we just don't see them without our DSi systems.

This is seriously a weird game...

I would imagine this will cause people to become insomiacs. First, because they want to play the game, then because they've become paranoid.

I don't believe in ghosts but I am staying FAR away this game.

Replace the ghost in the rear view at the end with a Weegee sprite and we're set.

"I've been been waiting for you" reminds me of that episode with the ghost girl in pkm who keep saying that

Now, THIS is the kind of use of the new DSi tech that would make me want to get one! Let's hope for more clever ideas!

Nintendo doesn't usually allow things this awesomely creepy to be published to their systems. I am buying this......

Very nice! When I first heard about this, I wasn't sure about it. It seemed kind of nifty, with a Ghost Hunters assortment of detecting materials, but I didn't know it was ACTUALLY a game where they put in ghosts for you to "track" around real neighborhoods. Very cool use of the cameras, both inside and outside of the DSi. I'd certainly pick this up now, as Ghost Hunters has long been one of my favorite shows. I wonder if you can use the "equipment" outside of the game now, or is it all just for the game itself?
