So, um, anyone like games here?

Which genres do you think we will see the most changes in over the next generation? Which will lose popularity?

I can see survival horror, or indeed horror in general becoming more successful as a genre, with the superior graphics adding to the game. However, I feel that the graphics won't be the main reason why it develops, but because developers see the more adult oriented titles as being more profitable, so are willing to give something a go that might put them ahead of the competition.

When I heard that 'The Thing' was going to become a game, I was very excited by the prospect. If it can capture anything of the paranoia of the movie, not knowing who the enemy is, not trusting anybody, then it could be a real milestone in 'horror gaming'.

Metroid has already been suggested to be an 18 rated game.. apparently the game is sick... and makes the gamer feel sick!

yeah... it is a hugly popular genre at the moment... I reckon this is the genre that will see the most dramatic development over the next couple of years?
