Think back to what games were like in 1995. The PS1 had just been released and we all found it amazing that games were now in "3D"! Think how far games have evolved since then...
Anyways, what do ye all think games will (or should) be like in ten years?
Here's my ideas:
1) Fogging will be a thing of the past. Worst offenders today- Morrowind, Shadow Ops
2) You know how amazing the cinematic sequences were in Final Fantasy X? Well, in-game graphics will be like that.
3) Games won't just have two or three routes that can be taken to complete the game, they'll have hundreds. Talk about replay value (the best we've got so far is surely Morrowind).
4) Games will be acknowledged by old people and religious groups as being for adults too, and people won't be outraged every time a title with an adult theme is released.
Well, over to you people...

I've never actually bothered with Eye-Toy. It's a nice idea but I get the impression it's just a bunch of repetetive mini-games with the novelty idea of the camera.
Am I right or am I right?

And then there's Eye-Toy.
Face-scanning is already possible on certain games.
I'm sure you could do it on Quake 3 - or pretty muh any game with the ability to skin a character.

Yeah I know but it's bound to happen when we live in a world where Pop Idol is made into a videogame.
When that crappy dance fever programme gets turned into a PS2 game you'll know that the end of the world is nigh.

Bah, rubbish.
In ten years time? I dunno...I'd say more like twenty years time. But then if I'd have said in 1993 that in ten years we'd be able to play games which allow us to explore huge 3-D cities, you'd have said I was crazy.
In ten years time - VR
Wouldn't it be rather awesome if you could make a scan of your own image and put your face onto your character in the game (and it would actually look good)? Would make online gaming just that bit more personal.
Couldn't agree more - -the PSP truly is a milestone in handheld gaming - things can only get better.
I know the PSP isn't that far off as it is, but wait until we get handheld games with the quality of Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, complete with online VS mode :D

PSP isn't that far off that now. Has on-line capabilities out of the box and is running PS2 ports with few alterations. Next gen handhelds (5-6 years maybe) should be better than the XBox now we have a genuinely competitive market.
