"The real future of gaming"

Games will develop beyond our wildest imaginations, the creation of advanced AI will make it impossible to distinguish between human and computer players. You will no longer merely sit in your house bashing away at a controller....YOU will be the controller. You will occupy a station with sensors and monitors, and you will become inside the game, games such as unreal tournament will become a reality, with vast tournaments spanning the globe and advanced projection, projects the game directly into your brain giving ultimate realism as your movements in the station will control the movements of yourself inside the game. This will generate a new way in which games are made, thus more original games will be formed. The pain of every punch, kick and shot can be felt in viscious reality using electrical impulses and your character can be immobilised if hit in the leg for example. There will be a global advance in technology, however this will lead to gamers so rapped up in their virtual enviroment, they will become an underclass of hermits who choose their life in the games over reality....Shunned by society.
Welcome to your future....

Yes, you're right. Games are better than reality. Because they're fun.

But with the dawn of Matrix stylee UIs, gaming would become less fun. For example, fighting games would become based on the physical strength of muscles, but what if you are less muscularly advanced? I like games because they neglect my physical body (which is pretty poor!) and takes me to a world where my fingers do the talking.

I believe that even if this technology became commercially viable, I personally wouldn't go for it as I prefer the comfort aof the joypad and the feeling of security.

Food for thought: Read "Shadow of the Minotaur" by Alan Gibbons ISBN: 1858817218

Nothing beats sitting in a nice big lounge, with a pint of Coke... or beer, with the lounge doors open... (the ones to outside) with the sun shining, in the middle of the summer holidays, playing Mario 64... It is the best, no matter how stressed you are, Mario saves the say!
