The Development of Technology in Video Games
Future Possibilities
This is the section is for discussing where I think that the development of technology will go in the future. After looking back through the entire development of technology in games up to this point I believe that Virtual reality is only going to become more and more popular and even more accessible and maybe some time in the near future companies might package the VR headsets with its consoles. I also believe that you will be able to play VR games online with your friends making the games even more immersive in the future. I also predict the mobile games will end up being playable on tv screens. I think with the success of the Nintendo Switch which is a hybrid between handheld gaming and home gaming, I predict that you will soon be able to play mobile games straight from your phone to your TV. There are some mobile games that have been turned into apps that you can play on your TV, If you have an Amazon Fire TV Stick you can download and play games using the remote to play it. This will be expanded on and developed in the future. With the success of Pokemon Go in 2016 even though it has died down and it no longer as popular as it use to be, I predict that the augmented reality games will be expanded on and become more and more common in the near future. With all of the studies done over the past 10 years showing how certain games can help educate young children I predict that video games will be used as an education tool in schools, this can be any time of games like possible educational VR game or any other type of video game. I do also believe that one day console might be as powerful as gaming pc's i don't think they will ever be more powerful than the best high end gaming pc's but he consoles will catch up eventually. With the recently announced Xbox One X, which is the most powerful video game console at the moment is on its way to competing with gaming pc's. These are just some of my predictions for the technology going into the future.
