Hunt Ghosts in Real Life With Ghostwire and the DSi

[The_root_of_all_evil]

I do worry that it's prime targetting for the "GAMES ARE EVIL" brigade though.

How so?

You've got your kids going out looking for spirits and you think parents aren't going to be screaming about how "THE EVIL GAMES ARE CORRUPTING MY CHILDREN WITH THEIR EVIL SPIRITS"?

I'd be surprised if FOX news didn't do an article on games and the occult as soon as they hear of this game.

Perhaps. Either way, we know what must be done - FOX News must never get word of this game.

Quickly! To the scheming room!

Sounds like something fun to do at a party

 

[StigmataDiaboli]

I don't know what to think actually. If it turns out ghosts dont exsist, do you get a refund?

 

[farmerboy219]

THATS AS SCARY AS HELL! lol

 

[Izerous]

no, ghosts dont exist.

...

"Some say you're a medium. "Well, if you truly are a medium, then you'll let me talk to my dead wife!"

A lifetime supply of toffee for whoever gets that without googling!

I'm just guessing since it has been a long time since I saw the show. But due to the use of the word Medium i'd guess it was fromt he series "Medium".

 

[Arrers]

Sure I can find ghosts with this doodad, but can I bust them?

 

[walls of cetepedes]

I'm firmly convinced that my basement is haunted. Can it perform impromptu exorsisms? THAT would be a nifty travel feature.

Which basement? _>

 

[Ligisttomten]

That would be a really cool game if it worked exactly like in the video. I don't know much about the DSi but I sort of doubt it.

Oh, the one with the satanic markings, and the headless goat... I think I left my Dreamcast down there...

 

[Aardvark Soup]

A funny idea, although I laugh very hard at the people that believe this actually works.

 

[Proteus214]

I honestly wonder where this trend of "augmented reality" games are leading us...

 

[ChromeAlchemist]

no, ghosts dont exist.

Incorrect. You'd think that. But you would be wrong. Try again? I'll give out a hint

Animated comedy

It's not going to be real ghosts. Maybe you can find remnants of one soul who was there before (as I don't know the scientific term for a ghost [electric signature?]) But it is just a game that just puts a ghost at random places (or not) in the picture. I mean, you can talk to it, BY PRESSING BUTTONS. I doubt that the designers learned how to put ghostspeak into a game and make it come out as a beep that ghosts are supposedly supposed to recognize as "How can I help you?"

Also doubt that real ghosts could reply back through the game.

Other things that say this ain't real - INVENTORY AND DATA.
They could've actually made me believe it was real if it wasn't for giving the ghost a digital book and knowing exactly who the ghost was.

 

[Jacobistheshiz]

Is it a game or an actual tool.

 

[Carnagath]

Uhm so how does this work exactly, you've got CG ghosts that you find by walking around like a tard messing with sliders on the DS? I find this tedious and fail to see the point...?

 

[Supreme Unleaded]

everyone knows those ghosts are fake right.

I acually beleive in ghosts, I have had encounters with them.

But that just seems like it puts an image of a ghost infront of you and has it talk, thats it.

 

[Andronicus]

It's kinda cool, I... guess?

Not enough to make me want to trade in my GBA compatible DS for a DSi. I think I'll just wait until they invent games that plug directly into my brain before I join the crusade towards virtual reality.

 

[Eric the Orange]

Bah DSi.

Anyways a game that makes you move around to play it is terrible.
