More camera and LBS games
with last post Talking about 10 mobile games trends for 2007
Is there a future for a GPS-related mobile game involving hundreds of players chasing each other round the streets? Realistically, no. But location data could be used in other ways ?bringing the real world around you into games, even if it doesn't involve other players directly. How? That's what we're hoping to find out in 2007
Bit of a catch-all point, this one. But behind-the-scenes technical improvements mean that on the latest handsets, mobile games can take advantage of other phone features more easily.?br />
For example, the cameras. 2006 saw a few examples of snap-happy games, such as Brain Genius, 3D Tilt-a-World and Foto Fighter. More developers and publishers will look to include camera features in 2007, for sure.
Then there's location-based games ?something that's been hyped in the past, with little resulting from it here in Europe. A key trend is that more mobile phones in 2007 will come out with GPS built-in. It'll mainly be used for navigation and mapping applications, but in theory it can be used for gaming too.
