The Future of Gaming
The Future of Gaming
Video games are a major part of modern society. They affect how we spend our money, how we spend our time, and even what jobs are available for computer geeks. Every year, newer and more innovative concepts are added to the video game world. Just look at how far graphics have come in the last ten years alone. So, what can we expect from our games in the future? Well, it seems the possibilities are truly endless.
Online gaming is the way of the future. In fact, by the end of 2008, it will probably be a $4 billion industry. Soon, online gamers will be able to use an array of mobile devices to play from anywhere on Earth. The next generation of handheld consoles will not only include even greater graphics capabilities and processing speed, but, also, much more efficient internet connectivity. This means users on the go can play games online wherever they are. What’s more, new devices will allow you to connect to a variety of games regardless of their platform.
Another innovation for the future of gaming is procedural generation. This term refers to users’ ability to create their own content within a game. No longer will games be limited to the rigid confines of their original developers. Take Spore for example. This upcoming video game will let users begin as a single-celled organism and grow into an interplanetary civilization. The game truly has no ending. The choices the user makes help generate infinite new worlds, planets, and species. How is this possible? Put simply, developers have only needed to create the game’s blueprint. The actual path the game follows and the images created are entirely generated based upon user input. Thus, an army of designers and developers is not necessary to create these types of new games.
Not only will gamers have more and more control over their games, they will also be able to interact with other players on a whole new level. Entire virtual communities will be developed with infinite possibilities for expansion. This goes beyond a basic chat room. Users will soon be able to have their own virtual homes, friends, and even entertainment experiences. The first such virtual society on the market is likely to be Sony’s PS3 Home. However, other developers will eventually put their own versions of virtual worlds out on the market. Imagine going to the movies with your friends in an entirely digital experience right from your game console or PC. Better yet, try walking through a virtual shopping mall and seeing all the products you want to buy. Then, simply pull out your virtual credit card and have that product shipped right to your door. All of this is possible with the virtual world of the future.
Eventually, games will be so advanced they won’t even be displayed on a console screen. Instead, developers are already working on a system called Virtual Retina Display, which would project images right onto a user’s eye. Within ten years, we should start seeing simple, sunglass-style devices hit the market. Soon after, you may begin seeing devices that can be controlled directly through brain power. Sounds crazy, but developers are already working on devices where people can control computers with their brains. At least three companies already have designs in the works, and some are already benefiting people who have been disabled.
Technology truly has the power to expand indefinitely, and plenty of people are working to take the video game world to the next level. While some of these innovations seem far off, they are all planned developments expected to be on the consumer market in the next twenty years. So, keep your eyes and ears open and be on the lookout for new gaming developments that will revolutionize the industry and our society as a whole.
