Basically its a real world shooter using your phone and an attachment to 'shoot' other people.
I have been following this for some time and has only just recently started its crowd funding, smashing its asking price in just a few days.
The videos and game play descriptions look pretty impressive with many features available.

Anyone seen or heard of it before?

Is there a realistic video of this? Their trailer looks cool, but I doubt the experience would be anything remotely comparable to what they show. You'd have to render everything on your phone, and that's what you'd see through (unless you had something like Samsung Gear VR on your head). So when they showed the drone in the air shooting down on them, I don't get how they see it almost instantly, as they'd have to be pointing their phone at the augmented object.

Don't think there is actual footage, not had a browse. The trailer looks pretty immense.
Just like most trailers, the game play does differ.
I'm quite curious how they will go about some of the features.
For example, they mentioned about the hacker, which seems to be more of a web based class rather than out and about with the device.

It's quite interesting how the outcome will be and whether the amount of backers/interest will follow through and actively play, as it will require plenty of outdoor activity and other 'real world players' playing the game in your area

Fucking stupid, who wants to do all that running tbh? And where the fuck would you play this? And the graphics would utter be shite. What if I get a phone call?

Too many things wrong with the this for it to be successful.

What a waste of $2.

This sounds like a great waste of money. A decent concept, but not enough actual complete thoughts for this to become successful. Why pay that money for a horrid game, when supercell and others are making millions off of a game that is free. I mean come on this has potential, but is poorly executed.
