The epic live action trailer in itself is great as we get to see some amazing footages (Middle Earth Universe) but to drop an interactive trailer so as we get the message of where the story is moving towards, is downright genius. Down below is the Teaser for the Shadow of War, Friend or Foe.

The interactive part of the trailer is the choices that one makes; as nothing will be forgotten. One needs to go through the choices in the trailer to know what choices will be available during the game. We get the choice of choosing our Nemesis.

The most amazing thing about the Real Life Action controlling of character is the immersing into the game one gets & fully participating in it.

There is a lot of people who have created Hitman themed videos paying respect to the Game franchise. Its fun to see how people stay true to the stealth fighter and show a real life action depiction of the game. Agent 47 again taking on another mission.

We have games, then we have live action videos; but now we have Live Action Games. That too the first one to dive into is First Person Shooter category. The creator at Realm Pictures came up with the idea of bring First person Shooter in Real life but also wanted the users to enjoy and participate interactively, by making it a Real Life First Person Shooter Live Action Experience. A lot of hard work and time went into getting this done as the whole thing was live for the users at Chatroulette who had no idea what they were getting themselves into once logging into the video chat. Enough of chit chat, just watch the video below.

I was really thrilled to see that the people who participated on the video chat were hooked to it. I think some of them have never played games, or even first person shooter at that. Getting them interested in this might open a new front for the gaming developers/community. Below is the behind the scenes of how all the things came together.

I came across this first on facebook through Mysterious things in the world sharing a video of GamersGRABR.

This reminds me of the First POV Action Movie - Hardcore that was made. In that you can see POV footage of the actor going through different obstacles and making it to a set goal. CLICK HERE for the post on that.
