A Theme Park Around Video Games?

Dubbed by its creators as “a totally immersive experience, that seamlessly blends both digital and real worlds,” Game Nation is supposed to be the world’s first experiential theme park…so this would make the line between reality and virtual reality harder to tell? The park is yet to decide on a location so I would advice all of us to not get our hopes up. Progress on the projects seems to be steady as RUKE, Creator of Game Nation, released information on the first of several “Districts” that will be featured in the park.

Dark and foreboding is your first impression of The Alternet. The entrance is a huge machine with light and energy. The arcing electricity crackles through the air while the green glow lures you in. The line of people in front of you eagerly awaits the impending transformation into their present-day alter-ego. As you walk through the gateway, you are covered with smoke, lasers and a flash of light.

You enter a cityscape where the darks are darker and the colors are more vibrant, just past the point of reality. With your weapon in hand (machine gun, ninja sword, double fisted handguns), you start to explore the busy downtown. Shopkeepers and citizens are oblivious to your alter-ego. Throughout this world, you have the choice to become a spy, modern warrior, or even your favorite superstar. By completing missions, you will receive clues that will reveal the plot of an underground terrorist group whose sole intent is the demise of the civilians. You will run through missions to collect intel, stop massive structures from being blown up and fight in war zones the size of city blocks.

The most important choice you have is…which side you’re on. You can stop dreaming about it, now you’ll be able to live it.

“Game Nation is fueled by the passion of gamers to create a totally immersive experience, that seamlessly blends both digital and real worlds.”

We will be getting in contact with Ruke to bring you the latest up-to-date information and in the meantime, you’re invited to join the adventure. Be part of the Game Nation Army at http://www.demandgamenation.com
