what do you think the controllers for the games will be like?

i think there might be things you stap on to your fingers, arms, legs and waist and it detects- where you want to go, how fast you want to go, how fast you shoot and what direction you want to go.

but that will probably never happen so what do you think they will be like?

Shigsy revealed that he experimented with a watch style controller for Gamecube, but nothing came to fruition. One to look for in the future, that.

As for 100 years from now, anyone's guess.

I only really like the one control pad - the original dual analog one from Sony, the current design for the Dual Shock isn't as nice, its too small so I tend to get cramp from it when playing games that require constant bashing on the buttons (like Devil May Cry). The original Dual Analog pad had longer grips, the buttons at the back were nicely shaped to fit your hand, and not stretched down like they are now, and the two analog sticks weren't made with that horrible rough rubber currently used that is shaped like a mushroom; they were solid, smooth plastic, and had two little craters in the centre that your thumb sank snuggly into.

I'd take that over any fancy technology any day... recently ordered an adaptor from lik-sang that'll let me use it on a PC, so I'm currently waiting for it to arrive. Should I still be around in 100yrs time I'll have done my damndest to find an adaptor that lets me use it with whatever is around at the time. :D

In 100 years... Videogames probably won't be around.
The world might not be in good condition in 100 years. People blowing themselves up for no reason. grr Doesn't it make you mad! Doesn't that make you want to go out and blow yourself up!? ARGH!
