Google's Top Secret Video Game Revealed
Title says it all.

[link to www.ign.com]

Peace.



Google’s top-secret Niantic Project has been picking up plenty of buzz lately around all the usual tech blogs. Since November 1st a Google-hosted investigation board has been stoking these fires with cryptic videos featuring ominous voiceovers that drop phrases like “There’s more to the world than you can see.”

.
.
.

In a reveal sure to disappoint some (while alternately thrilling mobile gamers), Google has revealed that Project Niantic is in fact tied to the launch of a new location-based mobile game called Ingress, developed by Google itself.

There is a “world within our world.” Portals are beginning to open up all over the globe, but can only be sensed by a select few. These portals begin pouring out exotic matter. Is this the next step in human enlightenment, or are these portals something dangerous that should be resisted?

yeah... subtle

Re: Google's Top Secret Video Game Revealed
idk I'm not really impressed.

I've always thought video games will eventually evolve into something where a person actually has to interact physically. Like holograms or VR helmets or whatever...you know, you're whole mind is immersed instead of just holding a controller and staring at a screen.

Now, do I think Google has nefarious motives and is probably up to something? Google? The company who's slogan is "don't be evil" or whatever? I couldn't believe that. YEAH RIGHT.

If anything, they're probably testing how popular this new "interactive" gaming idea will work...and also track you and spy on you and whatever else.

Ultimately, it sounds like advancing sci-fi and nothing more. I don't doubt the story line is true. My mind is open to a lot of things, but I doubt a video game is going to open a portal to hell in real life.

Although, video games opening up portals to hell in real life could certainly happen, through channels of degeneracy. But I guess I'm talking physical fire and brimstone type stuff. lol.

Video games are manifestations of the carnal spirit on the physical plane! The channels to degeneracy are already open!

Soon they will figure out how to get everybody to turn on the GPS locator in their phone, I always disable those unless I go out to ride my dirt bike by myself, that is the only time I use any GPS locator, the rest of the time the phone is turned off!

Google has been tracking location for a while, true: but this takes it to a whole other level by getting people to check-in and verify their position.

Get used to checking in.

How so?

I got the impression that this is being made to appeal to the "cosmopolitan" middle-20s-to-early-30s-something living in the big city with too much free time and cash on his hands. I honestly can't see how it can go deeper than that.

Unless of course you take into consideration my earlier point about how video games in general are rotting minds and contributing to the downfall and degeneracy of society (and who could forget the intentional conditioning involved with 1st person shooters?). Other than that, and the obvious opportunities for spying, what else do you see??

I mean seriously, FunCom came out with stories very similar to this, with the whole alternate realities, magic/science, chemisty/alchemy, good secret society vs bad, etc, many times in the past. Conspiracy/new age is a new and growing market niche people are attempting to capitalize on, a la our friend that stood us up tonight on the glp livestream.

Pretty much what you said. My point was people are proof testing a system they will never be reimbursed for or in essence they are giving labor away to Google for free.
