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!

Personaly I think that the life game would be a good game especially if you have lousy relationships with members of the opposite gender. I think that this game should be used to enhance chatting up skills and playing on computers while playing on a computer- or would this ultimate game be played on a VR machine.

Hmmm, you know, (well, you might not) but Shenmue has the ability to play classic Sega games in an arcade!?

On the life game you can play the life game whilst in that life game, and then in the new life game you can play another version of the life game in that previous version of the life game.

Got all of that?

Good.

Good point _die_jolster. I agree. There will probably be an ultimate "life game" where you can do everything that you do in real life (except of course playing computer games) because that would just get confusing, wouldnt it?
