I was in the middle of another huge
breakthrough with the new game how’s it
looking it’s the future of gaming
notable futurist Ray Kurzweil has stated
that quote games are the harbinger of
everything unquote and we couldn’t be
more excited to see what’s in store
welcome to watchmojo.com it we’re
looking at the most interesting facts
regarding the future of the video game
industry
now as always we’re going to be as
factual as we can be but you’ll have to
cut us a little bit of slack on the
definition of a fact on this one as we
are taking the speculative look at what
we think is a really cool topic imagine
going for a jog and Skyrim every morning
I would lose a lot of weight and burn a
lot of calories if I had this in my
house
number five expect more physical
crossovers for children and for adults
you better do something quick I think
you’ll need to do a little more than
that it’s no surprise to learn that
mobile video games are quickly rising in
popularity according to researchers from
Nickelodeon 34 percent of children under
the age of 11 have their own tablet and
this technological ubiquity allows
children’s entertainment to seamlessly
transition from the digital to the real
world we’ve seen physical crossovers
already such as Skylanders and
Nintendo’s amiibo figures Nintendo
recently greenlit Nintendo themed
amusement parks and there are already
Angry Birds activity parks around the
world
fans of Angry Birds can now play the
game for real as the first activity park
opens outside of Finland in the UK today
children expect a 360 degree experience
and increasingly adults like their
favorite games to become a lifestyle so
we can expect more and more immersive
cross-platform experiences as these kids
grow up
number four watching games will soon be
more popular than playing them I’m not a
perform surgery on you I don’t care what
you say return I’m gonna do it
so let’s get to it with the advent of
YouTube video games have never been the
same as let’s play videos have become
extraordinarily popular in recent years
twitch reports 120 million active
viewers a month and most of us can
probably name at least a couple of
celebrity let’s players
hey how’s it going for us – developers
realize this and many many recent games
are geared towards spectating and social
interaction this combined to the fact
that the popularity of eSports across
the world is quickly growing is leading
some industry analysts to predict that
there will soon be more people watching
games than playing them
so we can expect that games themselves
will have more recording and publishing
features built into them so that players
won’t have to leave the game experience
to create a let’s play or tutorial video
number three gaming devices will
integrate in the cloud consumers prefer
those physical bundles because they know
that that disk has value in the trading
program at Gamestop analysts have been
pointing out for years now that people
are buying fewer consoles we’re seeing
more backwards compatibility on console
titles and cross-platform compatibility
on smartphones physical disks for games
are pretty much obsolete thanks to
digital distribution services like Steam
and services like g4s now use cloud
computing to stream games directly
rendering a gaming PC or console
superfluous with Sony’s PlayStation now
for instance all you need is a high-end
TV and a Dual Shock controller now take
it all together this could all mean that
will someday be able to buy a triple-a
game play it on TV at home your tablet
on the bus stream it to your friend’s PC
at his house using your smartphones as
controllers all your games everywhere
all the time with minimal hardware this
virtual controller is emulating the Xbox
360 controller but it’s missing several
important buttons especially left bumper
right bumper and start number two gaming
will rival or even overtake Hollywood
will have to stand line for two hours
happy has 4 you’ve probably heard that
before in the West the video game
industry grosses many billions of
dollars more than the movie industry
this is only true if you account for
hardware and peripheral sales though if
you compare money spent only on game
content to American movie industry
revenues including box office blu-ray
digital downloads etc then the movie
industry made nearly double what video
games did in 2014 every time
unveiled a new attraction attendance
despite so while it’s very hard to do an
apples-to-apples comparison of the two
industries what seems certain to us is
this video games are being consumed more
and more leading to them taking a bigger
role in popular culture and that’s
really what we should expect video games
will rival the movie industry as the
pinnacle of popular culture by and large
everyone watches movies and in the
future will be able to say the same
thing about video gaming I could let’s
go do it
one last time number one virtual reality
will soon be a part of everyday gaming
oh god damn it go wait to say that you
won’t ever watch you know again whether
you like the concept or not virtual
reality is on the way by the end of 2016
the HTC vive the oculus rift and the
PlayStation VR should all be on the
market and companies like Microsoft and
Ubisoft are experimenting with their own
VR concepts and technologies from a
business point of view it’s the exciting
new technology that everyone wants to
invest in being able to see a virtual
version of the interior of the car while
actually being in the car was
surprisingly cool the fact that VR could
take gaming out of a 2d display has the
potential to revolutionize the way games
are designed just as the Wiimote did or
was supposed to all I just throw that
ball up in the air and what oh jeez okay
that may or may not be a fair comparison
creators are already finding
thought-provoking ways to exploit the
potential virtual reality it’s not a
video game peripheral it connects humans
to other humans in a profound way that
I’ve never seen before in any other form
of media and it can change people’s
perception of each other so what do you
think about the future of gaming well it
was it was fun while it lasted I suppose
do you think virtual reality will take
off or fizzle out for more futuristic
toptenz and virtually real top fives be
sure to subscribe to watchmojo.com
unfortunately talking about virtual
reality is like dancing about
architecture and this is actually
someone dancing about architecture in
virtual reality
