I'd rather have Real: Another Edition released in NA ¬¬
Preferably for iPhone as an enhanced port.

FYI, that's a Fatal Frame spin-off for cellphones released only in Japan.

This idea has the potential to scare the crap out of your ass, but I doubt that they're going to use it in that way.

I'm thinking of the part in the 'House on Haunted Hill' when Sonya's walking around, looking through a camera and she sees surgeon's operating on someone, but in reality there's just an empty operating table in an empty room. Then she looks back in her camera and they are all staring at her.

Creepy.

Awesome concept, and possibly the first game for which I'm gonna be sad I have a DS Lite instead of a DSi. :(

step 1: find a friend that is heavily supersticious.
Step 2: bring said game over go through their bedroom show them a ghost is there.
step 3: don't fix the problem.
step 4: profit

If your hand is shaking/moving, will the technology know where the "ghost" is standing so that it doesnt just feel like a layer ontop of a video of reality? Basically, if she's sitting on the bed, and you move the camera side to side, will the DS know to keep the ghost in the same spot?

I think you're probably being a little over-optimistic about what this game will be able to do -- I suspect that the game will just work with still pictures, and will superimpose a ghost on top that won't actually interact with the picture in any meaningful way (ie. like a weatherman in front of a green screen). I may be wrong (I hope I'm wrong) but that's my suspicion.

Yeah it looks like a pretty solid setup they are using. Watch the video:

It shouldn't be too hard, I've seen something similar on a really old Nokia smartphone type device and it was able to track the background moving fine.

The sad thing that the guys from Ghost Hunters will probably use this game to "Hunt"
ghosts.

WAIT! WHAT WAS THAT?! WHAT WAS THAT?!

Something hot and warm is coming out the back of my pants now!

OH! IT SMELLS!

They should have called it 'The Legend of Ghostwire: Link to the Paranormal' instead. Probably would get sued though...

i thought this sounded like a pretty cool idea when i first heard about it, and it still seems that way. but since i have a ds lite there is no way im going to play this game. i'm NOT going to buy a dsi for this or anything else, i don't play the ds enough to justify it.

Oh wait a second, this sounds kinda like Fatal Frame (which I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned yet, except for the work "orb") except where you're in your own world. This sounds sweet. If I see more games like this utilizing the DSi as it should, then perhaps my Lite will get dated sooner than I thought.

This is an interesting use of the DSi camera, I'll have to check it out when ever I can afford a DSi.

If it does, it's 0.3-megapixel camera won't really help.
I bet Laserdisc FMVs look better :P

Have been wishing for more "scary" fear inducing games lately. Newer games like Dead Space and FEAR2 did get me a few times- but mostly "cheep" scares - like objects popping out. I like games that just make you extremely scared because of the atmosphere...the ones you don't want to play alone at night.
