Why are you still on this silly thread?? I already proved no one knows this "scott miller" guy.

Speculation what will happen in the next decade is just that - speculation.

Going by scott miller's ability to hit deadlines, this must actually mean 40 years.

[QUOTE="Sushiglutton"]Consoles dying will only happen if PC is able to absorb the casual players. So the dumbing down hermits dislike won't die with the consoles. I doubt developers will be able to take full advantage of high end hardware either due to cost. Hardware exclusives will go away though.skrat_01

Scott Miller's a pretty smart guy.

Yeah,I´ve seen it yesterday,good interview. And lol at those who know who Scott Miller is.

I agree with him though. Something will have to take their place, but I think it will be an option between onlive services and hardware, so you need either a great connection or really really strong hardware. That way, an older desktop could run current game with a strong connection and newer PCs could also run these games.

Link fixed.

And a little help to 10 years old players who doesn't know who Scott Miller is: "Miller started as game programmer, but now handles primary business duties of 3D Realms, as well as producing and co-designing all third-party games associated with the company, including Wolfenstein 3D, Raptor: Call of the Shadows, Terminal Velocity, Max Payne and Prey."

And before saying anything, just watch the video. His vision on the future of consoles is very plausible. ;)

10 year old players? are you serious? :?

when attempting to bash a system or consoles in general you should think your statements through.

[QUOTE="Sushiglutton"][QUOTE="skrat_01"]The PC already has a huge percentage of the casual market - from Facebook to Flash - spanning huge demographics. What the PC doesn't have is a hardware (peripheral based) advantage. You'll find the trend on focusing on special input devices more common in the next few years; it's why companies like Microsoft say the Kinect is here to stay for the long run. As far as their business model is concerned it is, it's very important to their business survival.SakusEnvoy

Or what we'll see in the future is Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo mainly pushing for innovative peripherals and great accessories rather than creating consoles when the incentive to upgrade graphics and so forth will only continue to shrink. With the Wii 2 possibly being less powerful than its competition, it must mean that we are reaching a point where graphics don't matter as much as they did before, due to the fact that they will be polished enough, while also keeping the framerate as smooth as possible. Art style will be more emphasized than strictly going down the uncanny valley. Moore's Law is definitely going to be out of date after some time.

If the sales on the PC would be great everyone would make games for it

[QUOTE="Sushiglutton"][QUOTE="Nerkcon"] No one should want this, especially not PC gamers. No access to the game files means bye-bye custom user content, mods and community driven dedicated servers. :(Nerkcon

actually..consoles and stand alone pcs are all dying..EVERYTHING will merge into one box..im more than 100% sure of this. The way tech is going anyone can see this. Im looking forward to this...EVERY developer will have their games on ONE set box..again...more than 100% sure.

a PC developer says consoles will die? holy amazing!!!

More likely is that consoles will become more PC like and they'll be indistinguishable.

Meh, just a bunch of guesses like all analyst do and most of the time those guys never make a good prediction, not because this guy has developed 1 or 2 decent games has more credibility.

Anything could happen in 20 years, who would have predicted apple would be such big players in the technology world even just 10 years ago before the first ipod was introduced? no one knew the iphone or android would release and be so big 5 years ago.

In the last 20 years the amount of advances in technology has been insane, to judge the future on current tech would be very wrong, platforms like steam would have been massive failures in the late 90's early 2000's before broadband became widespread.

I think cloud computing is going to be the major player, a lot of companies are implementing cloud features, and I'd imagine windows 9 or 10 in 5 or 6 years will have some heavy implementation of cloud features. technology is moving far more rapidly now, whereas we had vinyl for 100+ years and CD for 30 years now, we have had 2 new video formats dvd and bluray in the space of 10 years, and I wouldn't be surprised if in 2015 we will probably have something else.

I too think consoles only have two cycles left before changing radically again. Into what, I'm not sure.

Glad somebody in the industry could put this into words, although right now I'm more interested about what's going to happen when next gen consoles release than what will happen at the end of the 9th generation.

pretty much, but no one here will read this or believe it, next generation you will probably be able to do everything you can on the consoles as you can on the PC, which people are fine with because no one has a problem spending $600 everytime a new iphone comes out

Interview with Scott Miller in Matt Chat show. They also talks about Max Payne, Prey, Duke Nukem: Forever, 3D Realms and immortality.
