[undefined0000100]

@zaca PSP is an acronym for Patheticaly small P****

[JoeLipariSDA]

Awesome!

[MrFibertiger]

I think this would be really fun in the suburbs

[guitarherorock11]

[xmywreckingballx]

Added to the bucket list

[StreamlinedStudios]

That's fun until you loose your iphone of the roof :O

[EHPS2010]

Nice...until you walk into traffic or off the ledge.

[blastofo]

this is reality...augmented. and your battery sucked away.

[jrodisbccbest24]

Awesome game! :)

[DrakeVideos]

that's pretty boring...

[gabrielgoma]

They invaded my bathroom yesterday... what do they want after all...?

[tuloski]

ok, if I play on the top of a skyscraper is cool. But what if I play in my bathroom?

[javedmahmood]

Nice Job...!

[emc970911mr9]

whats the name of the app?

[millenniumf1138]

If the shuttle program was still active, it would have been cool if one of the astronauts would bring their iPhone with this app and play that game while looking out one of the viewports.

[shawnfarand]

hanging cudical...fail

[Llynok]

And then he dropped the phone.

Don't get cocky.

[ren2250]

Make sure not to throw your controller out of anger....

[TheTatanan0]

the game has nice graphics.

but the ties... xD

[Jerz1983]

Even tho I dont like the iphone, I got to admit, it does have some good games

[c0wz]

[Ley000Pirce]

Augmented Reality its a little real step to the holo decs from Startreck tng

[OtherDanskin54]

Powerpuff Girls version



[tokyofrederic]

[MipoFilms]

[MrVeryFAMOUS]

[imran1985iqbal]

Thats brilliant. well done !

[Gig540]

[andrespintocalderin]

Excelente..i like!!!

[PS3terminator789]

[Abhijithbabu]

@PS3terminator789 You can get it from appstore

[MASTERJEDIBEN]

Is the Star Wars Augmented Reality: TIE Fighters Attack NYC available for the HTC EVO 3G/4G or will it be???

[chigboyrock]

Cant believe he went to the top of the building just to play Star Wars!

[Headbeanger41]

How does the app calls?



[sergio9325]

could you please try it at night, and post the video?

[GoMeZPeeD]

your phone is falling to 1st floor, game over

[SprawlingRabbit]

That is cool. But where is the AR ? I only see VR.

[ChIvAfLoW]

Technology

[Earthplayer]

LOL imagine someone standing on a trainstation and spionning around like an idiot with his ipod in the hands xD

[Ray1y]

Watch him drop this..

[wyrwich]

Urgh, way to cast out the Android market

[falchion1717]

I can't stop staring at his terrible hangnail :(

[philsense]

I will bust a nut if this comes out for Windows phone 7

[logster9908]

whats this game called

[mynintendo]

RIP

[Netnork]

I can imagine perverts playing this on their penis.

[WingLiger496]

You know, I've always wanted to walk along the streets of Downtown Montreal, shooting down invisible TIE fighters and looking like a general lunatic. Now I can actually do that. Once I get an iTouch of course.

[UKNMajor]

@WingLiger496 What's an iTouch.

[WingLiger496]

@UKNMajor It's the iPod Touch. Y'know, the thing that looks identical to the iPhone but doesn't actually have phone capabilities? Sheesh. It only came out before the iPhone, yano.

[RockinigTim96]

thats awesome ps. dont drop it lol

[frankensteinmoneymac]

The truth about 9/11 finally comes out!

[frankensteinmoneymac]

The truth about 9/11 finally comes out! 

[thedoginthewok]

this will suck your battery dry in a few minutes.

it is cool though.

[Jaron22]

I see dead skin - right thumb! like this!

[kevcarspray]

FAKE!

[BufteaGangsters]

16 people's PSPs can't do that

[zaca211]

@BufteaGangsters

no but the vita can

[adam342adam]

@BufteaGangsters correction: 21

lolz

XD

[Jukemdrawles699]

virtual terrorist attack

[iPokibro]

The beginning music reminds me of Peter on Blue Harvest.

[anthdx]

in the future, this is how you defend from terrorist attacks.

[beastlysword]

WILL OWN!!!!!!!!!!!

[Locdogx86x]

1 more reason to get a iphone

[Slayersamone]

LOL THATS AWESOME!

[iplz]

i wonder if someone was watching him from a window waving his phone around

[i0nPuNk182]

LOL its always NYC when something bad happens... now star wars tie fighters attack nyc? xD

[mohamed112banhawy]

i love angry joe

[AwesomeNstuff]

I would be to scared to go to the top of a building and play this game... I might drop the phone...

[whyempire]

OMG！

But my iphone is broken.

Now,it's just a phone.

NO I!!!!!!!

[MrDaratum]

Why cant we get it in America!?

[Narfmaster]

OMG WANT

[MariiettahMMH]

Dios que guay *_*

[SpackoZako]

so you need to be on top of a building to play it really...

[welcometut]

We have an issue. A bunch of Tie Fighters have just flown into New York. We need someone with an i-phone right away.

[chrisblue77]

I would need a damage radar:D

[Satanski666]

It needs much more precission and corrected scale. Otherwise preety cool concept

[tskcthulhu]

oha diyorum başka da bir şey demiyorum.

[brawldude23]

Oh great, now Jack Thompson is going to call this a "9/11 simulator"

[MrThebestyear]

looks average. don't spend much time on roof tops myself

[schfiftyfivehundydoo]

yeah i hope it comes out on droid too, this looks fucking AMAZING

[kzysk]

I tried to find this on itunes and it said it was not available in the us

[icenijim]

When will this be available in the UK Apple Store....I'm getting desperate!!!!

[iPadAddict]

@icenijim it's available now! just search 'falcon gunner' on itunes - you have to have an iphone 3GS, iphone 4 or newest ipod touch for the AR mode.

[icenijim]

When will this be available in the UK Apple Store....I'm getting desperate!!!!

[krisuprocc]

Is there also a android version comming out?

[vertigoregames]

@krisuprocc Stay tuned... :)

[cuatrobueno]

@krisuprocc android? #barf

[dialnick]

@krisuprocc n0t! 

[ensampojken]

@krisuprocc Prob. not. They lost their SW license.

[DonkeyManda432]

now, build this on a headset, with a proper joystick and everything and BAM! virtual reality, in our reality...

[reelhead1]

LOL, awesome.

[vertigoregames]

@TheDevirtue it should, though we've gotten a couple of reports that people with less than 4.1 were having some trouble installing. we're looking into it and if it's actually an issue, we'll fix it asap.

[alebeu]

You pretty suck at this game.

[DrNecromancer64]

This is the fucking coolest thing I've ever seen.

RUNNING TO BUY AN IPHONE NOW!!!

[Smileypiss]

downloading right now!!!

[AllTimeIsRelative]

Awesome!

[baronvonbrunk]

Which rooftop was this taken from? I work in Midtown East near Murray Hill.

[Pixy619]

For full effect of the game, play this while you're in a moving vehicle.

[JorisKanters]

This is fucking awesome.

[ianhobbies]

@Astro_Mike should play this game while Spacewalking, that would be Epic.

[Iontach]

Please develop stuff for the android.

Thanks

[Abhijithbabu]

Cool :) Cant Wait

[trallawan]

I didnt know empire has taliban pilots

[TheCopacetic]

TIE fighters converge.

Curse this AR stuff! My son

Never lets me play.

[IrinaLinda25]

сама фишка интересная, но вот то, что проецируется на свой город разрушительная энергия, пускай и виртуально, но всё-таки все мысли и представления в твоей голове материальны, поэтому это плохой вариант игры относимо к проекции своей территории, города.... такие игры применимы для созидательного образа мышления не уничтожая всё вокруг... вот если сделать из неё игру подходящую к применению подобного эффекта, но что-то более позитивное и/или созидательное, то будет больше пользы в общем смысле.

[vidiseo]

Is this only playable on rooftops?

[mharcosfrutos]

Ideal para jugarlo con Cacique Lambaré de fondo. Zona de Guerra.

[warlockboyburns]

i haven't seen a doom-like fps game that uses 360 degree spinning to aim yet

[TheTechBite]

This is real and not homosexual

[madchef]

Get an astronaut to play this on the space station LOL

[enowmusic]

NICE to fall ;)

[oceso]

Great game!!!!

I can´t wait for it

[vertigoregames]

@tekhnoir So right you are, sir. This is an early build (video was shot over the summer) - the final game has all of the authentic sounds in the right places. Thanks for the positive feedback!

[TheDevirtue]

@vertigoregames

does it not work for any IOS under 4.1?

[tekhnoir]

Quite cool.

Just one thing: The sound you put on the turret is the one of the Tie fighters…

[bbox]

that is so sexy

[BartvG88]

I'm gonna play this in space for the full experience.

[HaxxBlaster]

@BartvG88 Haha, great thought!

[gaojunxiang]

@BartvG88

yes, or in the pits of hell ;)

[woopa2121]

i could see someone walking and falling off a cliff playing this game. Over its pretty cool.

[vertigoregames]

@maxschubi Yup, the game works for all new iPod Touches (4th Gen), iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS, and an iPad version (minus camera but with compass controls) is on the way.

[Nap712]

I'm gonna play this while driving

[MrLirete]

great!!

[toopablo]

I LOVE IT!

[maxschubi]

sooo is this workin on ipod touch 4g (8g) too???

[MatthiasCorvinu]

I would be extremely scare of dropping my phone off the edge.

[poutch]

Come on you lazy fox, support the iPhone 3G

[vertigoregames]

@poutch Wish we could. The processor and available RAM in the 3G and earlier iPod Touches just can't support a good experience. When you see the non-AR mode, you'll understand.

Actually, I hear if you tape two iPhone 3Gs together, it will work. ;)

[maximumovrlod]

ITs not fake or gay

[sonicboom510]

That's cool

[NekoXal]

Your iPhone is going to fall down...

[sharinganguneye]

holy shit this is cool.

[lrsgk]

I think this is a very cool game. I am imagining the kids sometimes playing this in the back of the car pretending to defend their ships from attack. Much like the times my siblings and me pretended to do with our imaginations.

[lrsgk]

[themanimal07]

thats easily the coolest thing ever

[etookie]

Nice use of the iphone cam and gyroscope. Though in my case, the tie fighters will probably be attacking me in my living room! Not as awesome as the NY skyline, eh?

[Toxxel03]

Your fingers are covering up the screen, oh wait it's the only way to control a game.

[anapatsu]

Omg. I think I just jizzed in my pants

[MasterEyeguy]

FAKE

[Starbuckfsd]

@MasterEyeguy and you're a dick...So???

[trusttruth1985]

@MasterEyeguy

How the fuck is it fake moron. you can clearly see the game being played in real time without any effects. In fact its perfectly logical that a game like this can exist with the phones technology. Hell even I know enough about programming, and basic game design to make something like this. It isn't that complicated.

[11iamrosskenny]

how do i gt it on my iphone?

[tamurasse]

Looks promising, pity though that you need to be on the roof of a skyscraper to enjoy it. Fighting mini-TIEs in my office openspace sounds less epic.

[Starbuckfsd]

@tamurasse who said you have to be outside?

[tamurasse]

@Starbuckfsd I did. I said to "ENJOY" it. And then I explain my point of view. I did not say it was not working inside.

[conebone47]

Ugly thumbs

[erikkk54]

@conebone47 LOLL

[sammysyrett]

if this is real, its awesome!

[thisistony5]

wish it was on droid



[ichigoawsomeness]

Now if only you had done this 9 years ago and a couple months ago

[Moogeled]

This video would be a hundred times better if you dropped your ipod.

[vertigoregames]

@smaike I think you mean FAKE AND GAY.

[vertigoregames]

@Sinnyo Thx for the comment. Totally understand. At the moment, the TIEs aren't interacting with the environmental layers, but we had the exact same thought. Problem is, at the moment, most AR tech is just too finicky to make for a fun game experience, and we wanted something that would require zero effort and just be fun. That said, we're not content to stop there... :)

[silverrook]

@vertigoregames great work.... i know what you mean about interactive VR worlds.... given time i'd love to see something like this but available to play indoors too on the living room carpet imagine seeing several AT-AT's walking towards an objective like the fireplace, and you have to stop them with an augmented reality snowspeeder controlled remotely :D

the ability to detect surfaces must be a huge problem tho

[vertigoregames]

@jrbrewin The game uses the iPhone's gyroscope or compass (in this case) to detect your position. When you spin or lift/lower, your position changes relative to the enemies.

[johnnyc130]

Looks awesome, but kinda hard.

[aaqal]

@johnnyc130 thats what she said

[FmMan33]

Made of win.

[jrbrewin]

doesn't look like the movement of the phone has any bearing on the action on screen, other than the background is the camera output... which also seems to have very poor latency. :-/ shame

[smaike]

FAKEEEEEEEE!!

[iceburg008]

@smaike no its not! i went to star wasr.com an dits a new game!!!!

[Starbuckfsd]

@smaike PUSSSSYYYYYYYYYYY

[razorsbk]

pretty FAKE

[iceburg008]

@razorsbk no its not! i went to star wasr.com an dits a new game!!!!

[Starbuckfsd]

@razorsbk ya know, all you little bitches saying it's fake? HOW THE FUCK IS IT FAKE? Jesus dumbasses it's not fake...it's using the phones camera with gamplay overlay. Is it really that hard to comprehend? Or are you just a little fag troll with nothing better to do?

[DeusexEvolution]

NY the best city in the world fuckingg bitchesss fuck you all

[SirMirex]

@DeusexEvolution Now people like you is the reason NY is known to have the biggest assholes for a city... XD

[neverAcquiesce]

Great game, guys, don't get cocky!

[Sinnyo]

I realise that this is only test footage, but I am left wanting something with a bit more.. depth. It's hard to see anything but a touch-screen controlled shooter where the environment has been swapped out for a camera backdrop. Is there anything this game feeds on in relation to the environment around us, at least beyond the tilt/positioning camera angle?
