There is a simple fundamental reasons why Grand Theft Auto has exploded in the phenomenon. Everyone has sometimes criminal trends. And practically indulge them a hell of a lot better than actually indulging them and moral implications — or physical consequences. As a prison.
But what if you could make the Grand Theft Auto concept even more immersive, tying in the real world? Here's what life is all about.
New mobile game red robot laboratory-based Mike Ouye, Pete Hawley and John Harris, the former leaders at Playdom, EA and SCEE start — allows you to put a life of crime to your phone. This location-based games launch today for Android devices which can be highly addictive.
Think of it as Foursquare meets Grand Theft Auto meets Spymaster (remember the Spymaster?) corresponds to Gowalla — well, old Gowalla before they recently said they have killed an element of virtual goods. Essence to go around your city and battle other properties of the element. The point is not to "register" to attack the other players all that you have to capture the city.
"Social utility guys taught people such as registration, but it's not real deep gaming experience," says the Ouye. "We're going after the gaming space. We are talking about the discovery of new places while playing igru"on continues.
Life is a crime uses real cards, which are individual red robot Labs group to include a virtual view of key landmarks in the city. Right now, Seattle (where red robot Labs is the opening game at PAX today) is constructed from. Soon after San Francisco and other cities in the United States will be too. These maps to incentivize people to fight for the Golden Gate Bridge, for example.
However, any location is fair game. Management team TechCrunch, for example to add.
The combat nature of the game is quite simple. You find someone you want to fight and becomes a Battle with the support of your weapons and stats. If you have a indicator of reputation than your opponent, you can remove them in battle. But perhaps they have a better tool than you even wait a little bit of that.
First game will mainly be a single player experience. But down the line, the red robot guys hope people form virtual bands to battle other bands for the superiority of the location. One of the ideas that the team has is Android vs. iPhone when the iPhone version launches later this fall. Maybe Jason and I will play at OMG JK.
At one point the red team robot got around 200 Googlers he played in the Googleplex, we are told.
In the end, as a form of gangs in the game will be different levels that individual users can rise to within the gang.
Another element of the game is to pick up and go virtual goods with other users — both sides are rewarded in the game for this action. There are about 200 names in the game right now and a lot of settings for users.
In the broader sense of life is a crime is a location-based gaming platform, the red robot Labs hopes to build a simple step. Their intention was to three games at this year's platform is two, built them, and the third party.
The location of the game is wide open right now, the Ouye says. ", and we're going after him because they really sticky" he continues.
"We compete for 30 seconds or 1 minute when you are in the waiting line. You want to make a virtual crime than range, or you want to register? "
You hear that Foursquare? Man up. Time to fight.
Life is a crime can be found in the Android market here.
