Areas of Study 5 -The Future of Gaming

• Gaming is a rapidly fast-growing industry where innovation is vital for the survival of businesses in the industry. This rate of development looks set to maintain over the next decade and nobody knows the limits to what stage gaming will be at. It is expected that the amount of gamers will increase due to woman and older people being introduced to gaming.
• I believe that we will see a large increase in the amount of online players and if marketed correctly, I think that Second Life and other MMORPG's could become daily activities for a large percentage of the population.
• I think that companies will develop games based on evolution where the player is in complete control over their universe and their species. This will give the player a completely personal experience. I also think that virtual reality will come into play more. We have started to see motion sensing but I don't think that it will be too far in the distant future that we will be strapped in having a virtual fight in our living room.
