What we usually refer to as "augmented reality" is stuff like EyePet: games where our reality is "augmented" by having virtual objects interact with it. That all happens on screen tho, using video feed from the PlayStation Eye camera over which digital imagery is imposed.
Now, how about another way of doing this? How about interacting with game elements which are actually placed in our real world?

Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

A brutal reset, a smarter story, and a return to what made it great—Mortal Kombat (2011) revived the series.
15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.
Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.
More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.
Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.
All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
A decent enough game idea, though with a name like "Back to Hell" not too many families are going to buy it while the overall gameplay doesn't sound hardcore. "Defender of the Gate" sounds better. "Portal Defender" where other realities are bleeding into ours and the player has to first find and return inhabitants escaped into our world, then seal the rift.
Those are actually pretty cool names. But while I understand why you might get the impressions this is a family oriented game (I used pokemons as monsters mock-ups :D), actually it can be as hardcore as your usual light gun shooter (think Time Crisis) if you want. If not more. It depends on factors beyond the basic premise I exposed.
that's an excellent idea IWaggle3D. have you approached/or do intend to approach, Sony with this idea? i really think you should
I am really liking this website. The execution of it is really good (home avatars for demonstrations was a great idea).
Mirrors edge needs move support!
