What big breakthroughs do you think will change the gaming industry as we know it in the 10-20 years? Do you envision similar console games, PC games, or do you envision a big change via other technologies and if so which ones? VR? AR?
AR
Everything will be MMO
If everything is MMO there are whole classes of gamers who currently that aren't doing it anymore, which seems somewhat unlikely. As an industry, gaming can't only cater to high investment gamers without leaving a lot of money on the table. As I get older I find that more and more of my old gaming friends (myself included) turn more towards single player experiences because it's much harder to find the time to compete.
If we manage to create interesting content and storyline structure generation we could increase game replayability. Something like Dwarf Fortress in AAA form would be really good.
+1 for procedural narratives
I think people will buy wireless controllers that plug into their TV or laptop, allow access to games by subscription in an online portal.
Google Stadia
Stadia : Phill Harrison's compiled stolen ideas from previous video game giants like Nintendo , Sony and Microsoft and brought it to Google for a FAT JUICY TC
VR gaming with voice, gesture as input.
Naw man, eye gestures only. Voice requires too much effort.
It will look a lot like it does today except there will be more porn and we’ll be at 16K
If porn is not infused into my brain by then, we failed.
Dont you have phones
Hahaha!
I’ll still be gaming on my NES, SNES, or N64 because I hate waiting hours for game updates.
Bearish on AR/VR. Bullish on streaming (Stadia, NVidia, whatever gaming streaming service Amazon has, etc).
hopefully TC will catch up to the rest of us
Hard to see this happening without a big cultural shift in the supplier/consumer relationship. It’s insane how games still cost the same as they did 20 years ago despite the cost of making games growing by many magnitudes. Margins and volatility in the gaming business are insane (in a bad way).
i did say "hopefully" 😔 tho with stuff like fortnite making 300million/month... i dunno. i think there could be huge returns in the social-mediaification of games
