The Purge is written and executive produced by the film franchise creator James DeMonaco and led by Jason Blum. Additionally, the entire team behind the blockbuster franchise ‎are on board to executive produce: Michael Bay with Brad Fuller and Andrew Form under the Platinum Dunes banner and Sebastien K. Lemercier. Thomas Kelly serves as executive producer/showrunner of the series. Emmy® and Golden Globe® award-winner Anthony Hemingway will direct and executive produce the premiere episode.

The Purge AR user reviews :

This game has so much potential. It definitely needs work, especially with AR. So far it doesnt let me get passed two purges unfortunately, but the game is fun.

One of the cooler AR concepts I’ve seen in the store. And it’s cool to see props and scenes from The Purge in my house.

Awesome concept but the technology does not work. Trying to scan the room in is more of a nightmare than the Purge itself and the app was only able to scan a small portion of my room where I have a rug with intricate details on it. Unless your walls are lined top to bottom with Piccasso paintings instead of being a singular color with a few posters, it won’t scan at all. The tracking of your AR defenses is laughable as they will often just disappear as you’re trying to place them around, which I also attribute to the horrendous room-scale scanning in this game. This makes the game literally unplayable. If you’re gonna do a room-scale AR game like this, make sure it works first. I think the developers were pressured into using Google’s ARCore software for this game cause it’s the new cool kid on the block but obviously ARCore is nowhere near ready for public use. I recommend the developers go back to old school image recognition techiques, maybe making printable posters for their walls and floor that the the app can track, with relative distance data that the player can input by tracking the distance between each poster, kinda like a low-tech version of the room sensors used in VR. The concept sounds phenomenal and if the tech worked I’d give this game 5 stars…but the tech needs to work first.
