Application developer Freeman Technologies have announced that they will be bringing a game called ‘Transparent Technologies’ exclusively to Xbox One and Windows 10. Phil Spencer at the Windows 10 conference earlier this month of course revealed Microsoft’s new initiative to allow cross platform play between any Windows 10 device and Xbox One console so it appears that Freeman Technologies will be taking advantage of the scheme. So far details about Transparent Machines is scarce but Freeman have given us some insight what the themes of the game will explore in a press statement:
“The 21st Century society is obsessed with the conflicting concepts of transparency and privacy take over our daily lives through the exploitation of controlled government by Artificial Intelligence Secret Government agencies behind closed doors, hidden beneath the Government.
They can track and seek your data every move at anytime, anywhere, whenever you are. You are one of them, and 99% of the citizens in Utopia are infected by Artificial Intelligence Technology Secret Government propaganda and they turn against the silent minorities who speak out against them.
You are an activist who is trying to save mankind and put privacy first which you are strongly against the government’s propaganda of “making lives safer and easier”.
However you will learn that Government makes money off the data you release into the web cloud atmosphere around the central locked down cyber city in Utopia Futuroscope, where all minds and every piece of tech is tracked and controlled and run by one central network, Cambodia.
You as an activist is “outraged” by the actions of the NSA, The Central Government Network yet continue to wilfully upload more and more of our personal information to Facebook and Google and other tech services. You as the activist explores the contradictory nature of our actions and beliefs regarding transparency making profits out of citizens data and corruption and bankrupting small business and eroding economy, letting 99.9% citizens turn poor.
Your objective is to take down the dictator, Vincoeril’e Denorio, however things start to turn not what it seems.”
Whilst this doesn’t give us any indication of what kind of game Transparent Machines will be (RTS, FPS, TPS) but the concept certainly sounds interesting. Take a look at the first official trailer below and see if you can make more sense of what we’ll be getting up to in Transparent Machines.
