  Well yes and no! Pokemon Go depends on GPS, so this is very different from that. And I talked to Niantic’s manager at one convention, and they said their games are mostly focused on AR.

  RuneScape in a lot of ways yeah! But we can’t use their IP naturally, so the world and content is completely different.

    This is amusing to hear. I’ve not played pogo for a few years ago I don’t know if things have changed, but absolutely everyone I knew used the AR for 5 minutes because it was cool and then disabled it forever because it made the game sightly harder!

      I thought the exact same. For me, the AR stuff feels like such a gimmick.

      Pikmin Bloom was their most fitness focused game
