Pssst!... want some insider information into the games industry? Right here I've compiled the 5 best inventions that will be coming your way over the next 25 years, and they're not made up. Honestly. These babies are gonna revolutionise the way you play forever.
In no particular order:
1: 'REM SUBCONCIOUS CORTICAL STIMULATOR'. This one's already in development at microsoft - it breaks down like this: There are never enough hours in your day to play videogames, right? So why not tap into some of those 'wasted' hours of sleep and plug your console into your brain before bedtime... the gameplay is thousands of times more immersive, not to mention traumatising, your nightmares are beautifully rendered interactive survival-horror scenarios and in your dreams you can explore 'Animal Crossing' in first person... imagine, you might never want to wake up again. Unfortunately this one is still a long way off. The chimp trials have resulted in multiple cases of sudden death, insanity and vegetationisation, but I'm sure it's nothing to be worried about.
2: 'THE SIMS GO VIRTUAL'. So you've already built the dream house, burnt it down, paired of the couples and killed of the infants, even sent them to some god forsaken 'holiday-island', but the possibilities are far from exhausted... 'The Sims' is about to become virtual reality for you. Much like the above invention, the hardware soon available for purchase will plug directly into your brain allowing you to explore the environment you've created. Problem is, you may find it a little tough getting used to wearing the same clothes everday, being at constant risk from kitchen fires, wetting yourself and burglars, and, let's face it - living with a bunch of retards.
3: 'TIE-FIGHTER PERIPHERAL'. No, we're not talking about a joystick here. This here's the real thing - a 20ft tall replica model fighter spacecraft for the most convincing flight simulation yet. Jump inside and enjoy the ride. Also going to be available in X-wing and Y-wing for those of you who insist upon playing the goodies. Might have to make some room in your bedroom for this one, though... try getting rid of the bed, and paint your walls with horizontal stripes to give the illusion of extra space. The girlfreind (or your mum, if you still live at your parents house) might not even notice.
4: 'KURT'S DANCE BEAT'. Based on the hugely popular Britney game, this grunged up version will be hitting shelves next year, bringing with it some gameplay the likes of which have never been seen before - trash the hotel rooms, go out with evil chicks like Love, and just try to press the buttons to head-bang in rythm with the music when you're almost OD'd on heroin. Narly, man.
5: 'GTA 3: STOKE-ON-TRENT' - it's a working title, but the concept of the game is best explained thusly: this ain't your typical virtual reality add-on. This expansion pack will allow you to take part in all the classic missions of the brilliant ps2 game, in your home town. The kit contains a firearm, hawian shirt and bad attitude allowing you to be on the streets and jacking cars within minutes. Only problem is this: if you get caught by the police in this, you won't escape with a slap on the wrist. But the pros must outweigh the cons - amazingly real scenery, millions of actual people to beat up and cars to drive.
So there it is. My top 5 list. Ok, so they're not exactly top, but the real good stuff is all under wraps. But if i get enough good feedback i might just give you an update in a few days' time.
