PS vita homebrew/game idea

The vita can use geo tracking and augmented reality.
What if we take that to the shooting genre .
Example of what I am thinking.
Your walking around say walmart shopping and all of a sudden you get a challenge from a friend who is also in walmart. you enter into the game and look through augmented reality to use walmart as the battle grounds. And when you see your friend he looks different like an avatar or something.
kinda like paintball for augmented reality.
Imagine people running around walmart shooting at each other with their vita's?

a bit like a virtual game if you had glasses that changed the look of everything (like in jason x ) and kinda put you into the game all from the vita but would be funny watching the cops running after you in the store and not knowing it cos your playing lol

I love ARGs. I would be totally down to see a ARG like that. I like to do Real world gaming. Following clues givin by game masters. The last one I played it was so in depth that they sold Trading cards in some stores that allowed you to do things and get upto date information by scanning the QR Codes. The Game takes place in Real time. I think it was called city something I forgot but it was crazy. I got calls at work from a Game master to update me. Needless to say I got sick and left early. But now a Real ARG would be Awesome. EPIC idea wonton.

Imagine objects in the virtual world for pick ups also.
Like ammo crates etc.
and grave stones where people have died in battle.
or monuments where wars have been fought.

just don't play call of duty them when doing so as you'll be lagging glitching ect lol would be funny to see it thoe

Lol COD lag.

Geo advertising. Go to hamburger place down the steet to get pick up some weapon or health or costume.


Not really a straight foward fps.  More like an AR.RP.FPS GAME with geo tagging.
I would like it if we could have team quests. Where squads could perform tasks for the team. Every once jn a while have huge wars. Where teams and squads work together towards the overall war effort. Taking clan concept to new level.

Ok guys after getting some time with the Vita in my hands... OMG. This thing has got potential. I love the ARG stuff. The camera may not be the highest res, but it does the job well. I uploaded a lil demo of some AR stuff. I can see some cool things with this tech. Everything I talked about above is absolutely possible.
