Action First-Person Shooter Appears on Chatroulette
Just when you thought the only first-person Chatroulette experience was a mediocre hand job, a British company called Realm Pictures used the video chat site to host a real-life, first-person shooter game.
It’s a bit hard to explain, so suffice it to say, you have to check this video out. But it seems that Realm Pictures just couldn’t wait.
“According to Reynolds’ caption for the YouTube video, he and his set team “…created a live action first-person zombie shooter in our garden – then invited unsuspecting people on Chatroulette, Omegle and Skype to take control…” The whole production is an impressive and immersive experience expertly pulled off by the group, one that really engaged those people lucky enough to log on to the “game”. He moved and interacted with the props and characters around him only after the user told him to do so.
The rest of the game unfolds in classic exploration survival style, picking up weapons and items, killing zombies, meeting with roadblocks and barricades, opening up boxes, and even stumbling upon a boss battle, all accompanied by perfectly timed sound effects. According to Reynolds, there were about 30 people involved. Fans are already clamoring for a Level 2 to this blockbuster real life zombie game, but Realm Pictures has not revealed whether they plan to actually make one yet.
