I almost said Space Station Silicon Valley but it’s computer chip → robot and then thought about Body Harvest and then GTA and then what is a soul and a host in a game actually and had a lie down

@Rudie is correct, Driver:San Francisco let’s you act out body horror in Commuter Traffic fantasies, where you posess the driver at the wheel, and the fun bit is you are literally dropped in a discussion and Tanner (your Player Character) responds instead of the possessed char.
If you GTA around SanFran, you will figure out the seams of the world, but for a breezy action flick, AAA-entertainment.

In every soccer and football and hockey game, you play as a ghost possessing the different players on your team at will.
I told this to a guy on acid once and he said “woah.”

This is making me reconsider certain Baseball games. What is happening is pretty fucked up in terms of ‘who’ you are

in the old wwe games, during a multiplayer royal rumble, if you got eliminated, you could take control of one of the cpu wrestlers currently in the ring. of course, me and my friends used to make a “ghost possessing someone” noise whenever we did this

Is a real time strategy the most ghostly game? In any example of the genre, you take control of dozens, hundreds of people over the course of a battle

Warcrafts 1/2 and Starcraft ostensibly have you playing as a person (or telepathic brain) giving orders, but your character has no presence on the map and can give orders to anyone, anywhere. It’s an interesting edge case where the character is canonically not a ghost, but very much acts like one.

10 months old but I think new to the forum (and me):
Sega announced a new arcade version of VF3tb, “Virtua Fighter 3tb Online,” which has online play using the online technology from VF5US (Virtua Fighter esports in Japan); that netcode wasn’t super great apparently in the States but with their fast relatively short range network it apparently worked better in Japan. Anyway, new 3tb from late last year in Japanese arcades.
