Watch Chatroulette users play the first real-life first-person shooter game

The whole point of Chatroulette is that you really don’t know what you’re going to get. Most often, you get a penis. Sometimes you get a fully clothed person you can actually talk to. If you’re really lucky, though, you’ll get to control a live-action first-person shooter (FPS) video game.

That’s right. Realm Pictures decided to not only create a live-action FPS game, but it also let random users on the Internet control the player. From the video’s description: “We created a live action first-person zombie shooter in our garden — then invited unsuspecting people on chatroulette, omegle and skype to take control. …”

Sure, augmented reality and virtual reality are on their way to the gaming world. In the meantime, people are still inventing new ways to game:

The adventure begins by typing in “start,” and while it has a few keyboard commands to press afterward, the majority of player control occurs through voice commands. The creators included a heads-up display, hidden weapons, environmental puzzles, zombies, and even a final boss. Not only did they paint a variety of nerf guns to make them look futuristic, but the player could also run out of ammo. Oh, and the sound effects were all done live.

And all that was just level 1.

Here is the behind-the-scenes video explaining how the livestreaming starts with a GoPro attached to a motorbike helmet:

The main production consisted of just five people, with about 30 in total if you include friends, family members, and recruits to help out or play the undead. It was a huge undertaking, but easily worth the end result.

So are more levels on the way? “That’s the plan, we really want to do a follow up and really amp it up even more so!” one of the creators wrote on Reddit, where the video first took off.
