father.io: Massive Multiplayer Laser Tag
Hey VRHeads!
So a few days ago, a friend shared a link about father.io. The link will bring to their Indiegogo page. When you do, check out the main video!
It's basically a shooter game but AR style. When watching the video, you get to see "humans" vs "evolved" engage in a team death match style of game play. There is a peripheral you clip to your phone (not sure what phone sizes it supports) which I believe it helps identify your target when you initiate an attack. At one point, you will see a person at a computer desk that looks to be a "command center" of some kind. Eventually, that same person dawns a VR headset and controls a drone to help out his team (kind of like the feature I WISH they had in The Division...).
It looks very cool. It will remain to be scene how well this AR game will play as I am sure their server will be running like crazy.
