What will be in the future? Will their be a gaming so real that it's almost like real life. Will it use emotions and senses such as smell and fear to the extreme creating a more real atmosphere. Will the computer's simply be better then ever with computers 100 times faster then our current ones. Or will computers get so powerful they overrun us humans and take over the world?
One thing we can positively say is computers WILL get better.
If we look at the original PCs in comparison with todays it can easily be seen that PCs have become more powerful with every year that has passed. Games have come from players made of small black blocks to gaming characters with facial expressions made up of millions of pixels. Gameplay has become more advanced then ever. From 2D characters we have gone to 3D adding more dimension to gameplay. Puzzles have become more harder. Gameplay is now more about completing a series of levels rather than trying to beat a score. We can now save games rather than access levels by passwords or simply having had none the ability to save games. We now also have the ability to play online against people all over the world rather than people sitting next to you. The advances are incredible. So will they get simply more powerful with the incorporation of smell and more realistic touch. Will they make you part of the game? Will they incorporate your voice even more such as in "Hey You Pikachu!" where you can talk using your own voice and maybe run a storyline totally dependent on your actions and speech to characters?
Then could gaming move to a darker side? With the development of Artificial Intelligence we are allowing non-living things to think themselves. Will computers be used for war in the future? Will AI robot computers storm the front lines with weaponry competing against other enemy AI robots with people controlling their every actions by high- tech internet connections? Think of it people could play war like a game! People could develop software to control the minds of AI robots. They could send these robot computers into war. They could use a mouse and keyboard or other device to make them fire and move. Human soldiers wouldn't die solving the sadness of human casulties in war. The only thing that would die would be robotics. The battlefields would be littered with metal rather than bodies and blood. It seems like the perfect solution to solving disputes.. But there is always the next step up. All it could take is one highly advanced robot that can think for itself to use its weaponry on the wrong target and kill. Even the slightest of bugs in the program could make it kill the wrong target. Could the story put across in Terminator come true? Maybe this is the future of computing?
The future can only tell.

Maybe computers will become so intelligent they will realise the futility of taking over the world, and just spend all their time down the pub?

Thats what computers were developed for in the first place... most of the 'better' computer developpments have been made by the military of war'n'killing'n'stuff purposes.

We'll just have missles that govery long distances...

Problem then is that since people dont care about robots dying, so wars would never end, they would be continous... used to make a profit (in the same way the Americans do)

Damn right!
I don't actually care what future games are like. As long as they're fun to play, I couldn't give a toss.
Do you think Megadrive owners thought their games were crap because they were 2D and 16-bit? NO!
Anyway, there are 2 answers to your question
a) The big three (Sony, Nintendo, and now, Microsoft [BOOO!!!]) will have reached ecenomic harmony with each other. Some games will be cross-platform, but ultimately, most people will stick to their guns and die with a chosen corporation. X-box will lead the race for flight sims, god sims and strategy, umm, sims. Sony will have superior street cred, and hardware, and so will be the "clubbers" machine. Nintendo will continue to realease younger games, but will have breakaway houses that produce mature games as well. Other machines (sadly, the Linux one) will come and go, but eventually games will be closed off to the big 3.
or
b) The Future of Gaming is an immensly popular chat forum run by the owner of the biggest discount games network in the World. You are now reading a typical post by a typical poster

Surly by the time we had developed technology thst far, it would be cheaper to fool people into thinking they were actually sending a robot out to kill peps rather than actually doing the deed?

Like in star wars cool!
BUT do you ever think their could be a possiblility where we use Artificial Intelligence to fight our wars. This could be the future of gaming. Manufacturers would be laughing. People would pay to have the chance to play an online game where they control a robot in real life and send it into war to destroy enemy AI and eventually people... It's quite a scary idea...
The future of gaming will be the GC the XBOX and then finally a VR machine in everybody home in US and UK!
I don't care what the FoG is.
I'm enjoying gaming now, so i don't really care what will happen in a couple of years.
