Although before we jump the gun, let's all remember a little April Fools gag that was played a while back. Last year actually.

I can't imagine how growing up with this will effect the latest generation. Especially as the technology matures.
I think people really underestimate the disruptive power of VR/AR.

You mean you have to use your eyes? That's like a baby's toy!

Yeah. It made me remember that one. But still, Google actually added the mini-game in the app (and stayed there longer than I expected). And let's be honest here. How many videogame commercials out there are pretty much hype drivers built on awesome spectacle, but little actual gameplay footage (or none at all)?

True, and I'm willing to bet real money the final result will be quite far removed from what this looks like.

Not surprised this was created, to be honest. The amount of excitement the April Fools thing garnered plus the fact Google Maps still allowed you to play Pacman for a while after the April Fools thing ended makes me wonder whether this was the inspiration for Game Freak to make this an actual thing.
