Future and gaming (speculations,ideas and review )

[MarchingSaint]

Hi there,i'd like to speak about what future games will bring us to,not seeing a general gaming section decided to post here, hoping it's just the right place...
The point of the post is to talk about what we'd like to see in future games and speculations about announcements.

So have you already got the new advanced warfare? is it as groundbreaking as the critics said it was?
Would have you implemented a new mode or a different campaign?

what games are you looking forward to buy during the 2015 ?

hyped on any title yet to be/ announced?

I didn't bother with CoD: AW. Not my cup of tea, at all. Got my hands on CoD Ghosts (first CoD I got in a while) and was bored out of my mind halfway through the first mission. Storytelling felt atrocious (USA being overrun by South America and you're now some sort of guerilla homeland defender? Gimme a break...) and there was little in terms of gameplay that made me go "wow, that's interesting!" So, naturally, I skipped CoD: AW. Stuffing their characters in some poor man's nano suit didn't intrigue me.

As for games I'm looking forward to: Evolve and the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in February. Project CARS might or might not be out in March (was pushed back recently, so there's no saying it's not gonna happen again). With Heroes of the Storm entering closed beta soon, I'd consider a 2015 release likely - having a DOTA-like game that brings a little more variety to shake things up might get me into the genre again. And while I'm going on about Blizzard's games, I do hope that Overwatch goes into beta, at least - and that I'll get an invite. Looks like the kind of shooter that captures a bit of the old Unreal Tournament feeling with lots of traversal and a fast pace.

Then there's the obvious one: GTA V's PC release in January. Probably the one with the biggest overall impact on my gaming schedule, I'd say.

As for the future of gaming, it won't change much in the coming years. Technological advancements won't be very significant since consoles are hardware-locked and the hardware doesn't seem to have the overhead the last generation had on release. The PC will probably push to 4K gaming but will otherwise have to make do with whatever the consoles can run as well.

The only trend that might have some impact on gameplay and game design I've picked up on is procedural game design. Elite: Dangerous and No Man's Sky could potentially pave the way for those games. I'd appreciate that trend, as well. Might make for some games that are quite fun to explore.

Aside from that, same old same old for the foreseeable future. And by same old same old I mean more CoDs, Battlefields, WoW expansions, Far Crys, FIFA 20XXs and Assassin's Creeds. Meh.

After getting the oculus DK2 and seeing how close VR is to being a really good consumer product I think gaming is about to change drastically over the next few years. The only thing I'm really excited about in gaming now is seeing VR succeed and whatever games release for it. We haven't had a major innovation in gaming since 3D graphics and VR looks to be the next step in putting players into the game.

If you haven't had a chance to try the rift out, don't dismiss VR. I see alot of people saying VR isn't a real platform and they don't like it that hasn't even tried it. It's not even possible to explain what it's like or know what it's like until you've used it and been inside of a game for the first time. It's an amazing experience for a gamer and one that is going to make a huge impact on gaming over the next several years.
