Virtual Reality, will be the future of videogames?

A dream of every player since the dawn of the video game has always been to live them , not just play them. Multitude of different inventions tried to make us partakers of the adventure of a thousand and one different ways , and by the time of Mega Drive could be controlled only by what titles our body. Perhaps the most widely accepted approach that was until last generation was EyeToy , Sony camera that allowed us to complete a multitude of mini-games , either solo or with friends, no other control our body .

One idea we have about it , is that in the future will make as little disturbance and such amazing things , and it will not be functional over a simple fashion, but the leap from virtual reality screens .

A blog about video games, commented that , " An innovative mechanical or sublime history is needed to keep them alive in times of new technologies, I imagine much more immersive . Who knows , games you put at the center of the stage, perhaps by glasses or contact lenses, or downloaded directly to the brain . Technology will make only a few geeks screen choose life , changing up and down this society.

But that will be a new page in history. " Http://eljueguista.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/como-envejecen-los-videoju egos /

Some media, argue that "over time , the game will cease to exist and instead will 3D simulations indistinguishable from reality , there will be a virtual reality for people who wish to participate in the only shelter for nostalgic players will be your PC and emulation software to enable them to relive the " glory days " of the games, while the rest of humanity are slaves of the matrix, or system requirements . " http://illbethejudgeofthat.wordpress.com/2009/08/05/2d-vs-3d-a-gaming- evolution /

Others refer to the emergence of a new control interface for 3D game mechanics , will disappear at the lateral and vertical scrolling 2D , which would become mechanical past. http://www.pixfans.com/herederos-de-otra-dimension/

_ Does immersion in video games, is the principal and / or the most fun , in these digital entertainment programs . And increasingly immersive systems such as virtual reality and video games on first and third person , more immersive games trying to win, shape the future of this industry and form of entertainment. Not being designed starting from then, new video game side-scrolling perspective , vertical or isometric 2D ?

_ Virtual Reality and games in first person, will be the future of video games, in the sense that it is going to be dominant ?

With time, the game will cease to exist and give way to interactive 3D simulations ?

Everything new and innovative is labelled a gimmick and ridiculed by "hardcore gamers", now its been 8 years since the Xbox 360 launched, go ahead and compare that with all the confirmed next gen tech and PC Hardware and you'l have your answer about what the future is going to be like.

Truth Be Told, when VR comes to gaming, gamers are gona rage against just as a general principal. Lets call it the "SNIPER" philosophy

There is no proof that VR is the future.

Also there are more game type that would get nothing out of VR than those that would get anything from it. It is like motion control and how that does not work with many games.

I dont hear a lot of rage against the Rift , actually its quite the opposite and a lot of people i talk to and hear cant wait for it to come.

But like 3D VR is a gimmick and niche market because in the end there is nothing right now that can beat a normal monitor/tv/projector.

No need to explain it to me. I've already accepted the future is not for gamers like me. :( Remeber Me in 20 years, wouldya......

20+ years perhaps :) they have been talking about VR since most of us on the forum was just a glimmer in our parents eyes.

Wkipedia, talking about video games platforms, tells us that initially the characters moving through levels with a horizontal development, but with the advent of 3D graphics this development has expanded into all possible directions. From the system perspective change (or movement of "camera") used in the famous Super Mario 64 (whose technique is based on three-dimensional games remaining thereafter) has allowed true freedom of movement in such environments.

But then he adds, that, although this genre was very popular in the 80s and 90s, its popularity has declined in recent years, even when introduced 3D graphics in video games. This is due in large part to the fact that 3D have lost development simplicity characterizing this kind.

Does this has occurred also with other arcade genres like: shoot'em up, beat'em up, run and gun and Fight 1 vs 1?.

Are there genres that were born for 2D?

Is there really a mechanical incompatibility of 3D and 2D static screens?. When the mechanical or 3D game development, do not work?.

Why rather, it is true that "any 2D saga, as the arcade platformer, shoot em'up, beat em'up, run-and-gun, and fight 1 Vs 1; might go from 2D game mechanics 3D if your programmers will look back and know that change (to adapt the gameplay to 3D) and not ... "as claimed by some people?

Do 2D mechanical videogame, lateral and vertical, are less than the mechanical 3D playable, when lateral and vertical views, more limited, and because this type of screens fixed, do not allow much spectacle and deep .. Therefore, arcade video games have given way to gameplay, 3D?.

Is this true that fashion retro, arcade games 2D digital distribution platforms such as Xbox Live, PlayStation Network, and Steam, will be temporary or provicional, until technology can offer ultimate control interface, allowing fluent move in 3D mechanical games, more open or multi?.

Some gamers argue that 3D only provided The real novelty to four genera:

One-FPS (Call of Duty, Halo, Half Life, Quake, etc ...)

2-Drive (Granturismo, forza, PGR, Ridge Racer, Sega Rally, etc ...)

3 action-adventure and exploration (Tomb Raider, Splinter Cell, Soul Reaver, etc ...).

4-Simulation (Flight Simulator)

The remaining genera could have benefited from the current technology and to deliver better results to be in 2D: Platforms, fight 1 Vs 1, shoot'em up, beat'em up games, run-and-gun, graphic adventure, strategy and certain RPG.

Other fans argue that too, with Virtual Reality, you can play games of mechanical 2D, and suggest that these could be replicated in the future, within these artificial realities, like the current mini, disappearing physical screens.

You guys, you think?
