Just when I thought that I can't be surprised any more.....

This thingy will cause some REAL WORLD violence for sure!

Don't you think people that have android devices, which control like huge amount of 'portals' in a city won't get targeted?

What if portals get generated in the 'criminal' areas in the city, where it's not so good idea to walk about for any reason?

How about portals/objects on top of some swamps?

The possibilities to actually get people KILLED are endless.

Not YET, I agree.

But this kind of madness can trigger some really, really ugly things that have been sleeping passively inside of some individuals.

This kinda reminds me of a Cabin in the Woods type of 'game'.

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

They already do that.

Not enough of people are gamers to warrant the use of free tracking. Though it may be used for data on gamers, that is probably all it will do.

this is going to cause real world crime, people will actually fight over portals and locations if they have invested enough time into them. you will have actual people blocking you from getting to the portal and if you bring someone else's defenses down and they know your name on the game, they will hunt you down and real world crime will ensue.

Re: Google's Top Secret Video Game Revealed
Maybe this isn't about a video Game. It's much much deeper than that.

Peace
 Quoting: AwakenedDude


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.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24883093


Yes but Funcom doesn't already own half the world!
 Quoting: 1nf1del


Very true.

Also I've been thinking more about this and how benevolent our friends over at Google are...

No one does things for free. No one, not even our magnanimous and deeply philanthropic friends over at Google.

Making video games is a LOT of work. They have to be getting something else out of it. It's naive (or just plain stupid) to think otherwise. The question is, what?? What's in it for them?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24883093


it will probably boost their sales on those augmented reality glasses. Imagine a world where that thing is a staple and they have the monopoly on it. pretty good way to make a decent living...

So taking over an area with your "faction" will gain you points...! Gang warfare electronic style, now with nerds.

Imaging playing this game and you are competing with someone else and they notice you trying to take their factions land... And they kick the shit out of you..... Then you bring your friends and take the area kick the shit out of the other dude.... Then dude comes.back and kills.you and claims the land in the army of google team 213 who rule this shit.. Until they met google team 5150 it was a mess....


FUCK google...bonghit

and I predict the game will only catch up after the first (IRL) deaths occur on account of territorial wars.

Re: Google's Top Secret Video Game Revealed
Its all in there, you just have to look and listen.

At 9 seconds you read this:

"Ingress is a tool
Ingress is an instrument
Ingress is a weapon
Ingress is not a game"


while hearing that "global security could be at risk"

Then they're mixing resistance and enlighten, like if you know, you're on the wrong side of the fence.

"decrypting the data was the mistake" - you shouldn't have done that.

"This is not psychosis or some cognitive break but an actual takeover of the mind" while we see a conspiracy theory board

"Our freedom/future is at stake" - from what?

"Much of the public sculptures found in our cities in based on designs seeded in the human mind." - Like all that Freemason shit that we find everywhere we look?

"Certain places have an energy that not only attracts people but attracts events" - Would be nice to use those public attractions to fuck with a large number of peoples minds.

Then the big reveal.

"The mission of 13Magnus is to monitor the effects of mind hacking. Obviously this will be done with highest of security, to make sure that the ideas do not contaminate or threatens humanity." - There goes freewill, out the window.

Oh no! How can we fight this evil takeover? Im glad you asked. Here is this nice piece of software that you can use with your super fast handheld computer to help us spy on everyone everywhere and/or analyze "anomalies" on the field, for us. Its gonna be even cooler when paired with our Glass thingy coming soon.

"I must be prepared to work with them or fight them"

I heard you loud and clear.

Re: Google's Top Secret Video Game Revealed
what the hell is china building here?

Not happy with building mysterious gigantic structures in the desert, the Chinese are now building inter-dimensional portals in the middle of their cities. What the hell is this 515-foot (157 meters) high metal structure in the the city of Fushun, in northeast China's Liaoning province?

Oh wait, I know, it's just another example of the China's building craze, the one that has got them to build entire ghost cities made of thousands of pre-fab buildings.

It's made of an astounding 3,000 tons of steel and it will glow at night—decorated with 12,000 LED lights. According to Fushun Municipal Government's officials, this titanic structure does absolutely nothing except serve as an elevated sighting position. They claim it is pretty "landscape architecture"—like the Eiffel Tower. It uses four elevators to take people to the top.

The Chinese media has been harsh about the building after a blogger posted these photos on Sina Weibo, which is the country's "largest microblog platform." Not surprising, since this thing costs $16 million.

The ciy's defense: "there's not enough people to build entertainment, so we just build something pretty, OK?! ARE WE COOL NOW!". Or something like that. They also claimed that they don't have enough citizens to build other more useful buildings. They have all the hospitals, recreation centers and municipal buildings they need, so they probably decided to blow their excess budget in this thing.

According to Fushun's Urban Construction Bureau, the "Ring of Life" means "a round sky and a path leading to a paradise in heaven."
