"Future of Gaming? Hmm.............will it be a job?"

I thinks that the future of gaming will be something along the lines of............what future? I think that gaming (as we know it) will soon be saturated. That is, after the next generation of consoles come out, gaming will have reached it's peak. There will be a game of some sorts for everything you can think of. The new titles of the next few years will be :- Tomb Raider VI, Quake VI, Final Fantasy XX etc.. There is no originally in games these days, and this will continue. So these new ultra powerful consoles and pc hardware will all be wasted. I'm not saying that there won't be any original games in the next couple of years, but soon there will come a point where all genres are exhausted. That may signal the end of gaming.

I wonder how you lot may react to this now!

Wehey! Some weird ideas being constructed here - well done.

It might be a bit sore if you stuck a probe into your head.

If you read the original start of the conversation between me and andirfcs you will realise that you are wrong you 2D platformer which can be completed in 35 mins with your eyes closed!

It would be a big human shaped robot thing that you step into and then you can virtually move around your virtual world. And there is also a moving type mat so that you stay in the same place while doing your virtual walking and dont virtually walk into the wall.

Even though it would be a robot shape, it would still look class.

The game chips would be the size of watch batteries.

The console would be the same size as a MD player.

Console? Idiot, we're talking 'bout TV's.

What would it look like (this new console?)

over the top as usual.

(not a bad idea though)

I think that both you and Shocky have valid points on this subject perhaps a joint project between Philips and Sony would'nt be out of the question would it!?!
