Niantic has the tools in place to pull off the next big thing, digital graffiti. You don’t need a shoot-em-up FPS or quests or anything like that, just give people the creative outlet to scan an object and draw a massive penis on it and share it with the world.
It is so sad that they killed Ingress with their shitty new scanner app. It is out for years now and is still running like crap on my 2 year old upper class android phone.
I really loved that game
Seems like a win for society if a significant percentage of the people making graffiti not worth looking at would switch to digital instead of physical graffiti then.

You’ve almost described Jet Set Radio Future or Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, although those games are single player.
There is a multiplayer mod for BRC though.
Yeah, but IRL buildings, statues, art, etc.
It is not really IRL when you put tags and graffiti on photos, even when it is combined with AR.
You got me there, your pedantry makes me never want to talk about hypothetical video games again.
Sorry 😔
Niantic can’t even make a good Pokemon game let alone anything else
I just said they had the tools, I didn’t say they were going to do it.
Fair enough. I feel like they exist at this point to just bolt a licensed IP to Ingress.

I loved that game for a brief time, but I felt like I could have gotten into a car accident with how much I was trying to take over outposts.
Generally the type of people who make graffiti worth looking at aren’t the sort of people who want to draw with a tablet and stylus.
