So... game developers have started using laser scanning for tracks and what not. This has got me thinking about the games of the future and what the possibilities will be.

Let's say we travel 20 years forward from now. I'm thinking of the ultimate game as some kind of mixture between a realistic Grand Theft Auto and Playstation Home. So how realistic will the developers be able to make it? Will they be able to scan the whole planet down to the smallest detail? Will we be the be able to move around all over the virtual earth, by foot, by car, by boat, by airplane etc etc? Will we have real time wheather that changes along with weather in real life?

Wouldn't it be quite neat to move around with your "avatar" in a realisticly replicated world and do whatever you want?

What do you think? What do you want the ultimate game to be like?
 
ultimate game - the matrix ;) seriously. plug into a vr system where the users can have truely custom experiences. but itd probably take longer than 20 years to get there :p
 
I would prefer to have some kind of Glasses where they act like screens, it would be cool to have both 3D as well super high resolution screens inside tiny glasses. Not to mention once I move my head, everything in game moves :)!

and nice 7.1 headphones. I would be happy.
 
I want a holo-deck and I want one now.

/Star Trek

But seriously, something like a holo-deck with a more efficient use of space seems the ultimate end of gaming to me.
 
Imagine a collaboration between Rockstar North, Team Bondi and Ubisoft Reflections in which...
  • Rockstar North makes the characters and a story line as good and as big as GTA IV, TLAD and TBoGT combined
  • Team Bondi makes a replication of the whole real life San Francisco
  • Ubisoft Reflections makes 200+ licensed cars (including the ones from Driver San Francisco) with improved Driver physics
  • First person view option
  • 1-32 people online

Not ultimate perhaps, but pretty damn entertaining, and possible within a few years I'd say.
 
Well since technology just doesn´t move forward, it accelerates.
The past 10 years of gaming will be the equivalent of the next 5 or 7 years maybe.

Even if we had all the scanning data today for the earth it would probably take 20 years just to get it into a game :) The planet is one BIG ball lol (but in another sense, a mote of dust)

Licensing will be the first thing to ever stop that happening. Ubisoft would have had to beg on their hands and knees for those cars and I'd say those cars are the reason there are no walking characters or pedestrians that can be hit. Manufacturers dont want to see their cars used for things which affects their image :/.
 
Who says you need to hit pedestrians? How does that advance a story line? The way around that is to get Ubisoft Reflections to build and design cars close to real-life, within legal constraints. That would allow the flexibilty for a truly sandbox world you're looking for. The other issue at the moment is storage constraints. Yes we are having consoles that have HDDs built in as standard, but they still have to installed to. If you were going to really go for this, you'd have to go balls out and map huge areas (GTA:SA would be a good starter for the size of the area, probably bigger than that). Who is going to play a game that comes on two DS-DD Blu-Rays, and take about 4 hours to install?

Personally, I don't think glasses will be the next logical step (it's merely bringing the display closer to you), instead it will be direct projection into eyes. Downsides with that will be twofold; one, how do you cope with the disorientation of suddenly having your visual input change from a virtual world to real world (not an issue at the moment, because you are aware you are looking at a flat image on a screen within a border); and second, self-control. You'd have to limit yourself to the amount of time spent immersed in such a system, as it will only excerbate issue 1.

Not to mention absolutely destroy your eyesight and render you half blind within a month. No, I don't think that kind of thing is going to work.
 
Wearing gadgets on your head imo is like getting too into technology...escaping from reality.

The most I do is wear headphones at home...to listen to music

Headsets and now glasses are too much for me. :lol:
