Heavy Rain doesn't even have any camera support, does it?

They highlight objects he sees.

I'm with vigorousjammer on this.  That really seems like a stretch considering what the concept is actually meant to be referencing.

If the concept is supposed to be for AR games, then you're right. I don't see how someone could argue that those glasses don't fall under the umbrella of augmented reality though. "

I say there should be a separate concept page down the line of "Augmented Game World." The two games I keep going back to are Heavy Rain and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories where some sort of augmented world is prominent to the storytelling and atmosphere of the game. There are more than a few games where characters use technology that parallels what we call augmented reality for storytelling and gameplay options, and I think it's viable for it's own concept page.

so? that's not augmented reality at all... that's just future tech as envisioned in the game... should we attach all sci-fi games with future AR tech in them? "

I got a quest for clicking this. Thanks.

Augmented reality to the characters of the in-game universe, though, not to the player.  I think that distinction needs to be made, and I think based on how the article is written, it's meant to be for things like Eyepet and Face Raiders.  That definitely should be broken off into its own concept, though!

 Nahman's future glasses make holographs of objects appear and even magically analyze dna and displays it before his eyes(lol heavy rain)  I don't see how that's not AR. "

The obvious solution is to make one a concept (games that use AR such as Face Raiders) and the other an object (games that feature AR in the fiction such as Heavy Rain).

" @Hailinel: Then I think the page should be expanded to fit examples like ARI as well. Or a new one should be made.  Plenty of games have AR to the in-game characters themselves "

Wouldn't the Heavy Rain glasses fall under the Detective Mode concept? 

"A newly-emerging feature in games that allows you to see objects and objectives more clearly than the game's regular vision allows."
