Where lies the future of gaming?

I can see consoles becoming the main source for gaming, because it's simple to design for them unlike the computer.

CASUALS

God let's hope you're wrong.. I don't want the 'main games' available to be 'Angry Birds 3' or 'Plants vs Zombies: Complete Edition'

Why do people associate casuals with those games? Seriously? Why? We all don't play those games, some of us even hate those games...

By casuality, I associate games easy to play and easy to understand. Well, I think that if my grandma plays Angry Birds she will enjoy it more than Call of Duty.. it is easier, it has no story and it is simple.

By casuality for me I think of someone who just plays games for fun and doesn't sit down for hours on end getting every achievement, collecting every trophy or audio log or whatever, and just a gamer who plays games for like maybe an hour or two and nothing more like some hardcore gamers.

That's my definition, of course.

a casual is someone who rarely buys or plays games....that's the dumbest thing for nintendo or microsoft or sony to do is focus on people who rarely ever buy games.

I'm a guy that likes video games and I like to collect them and being able to play them all. If games go to the cloud, I won't be able to play my old games. If they continue on consoles or PC I will, so I hope as hell they keep doing consoles and keep producing on PC.

Casuals have always been the future of gaming. I don't know why this is even being discussed.

Actually that has always been the point. To attract more people and make the market bigger. Almost every single gamer started as a casual that at some point got hooked.

A few years ago the only games available were casuals and they evolved to something deeper...

Why not? They are casual games after all.

No. How can it be possible? What you just said has never happened. There has never been a point in time where casual games where the only ones available.

Who the hell cares?

a casual might buy a game once in a blue moon microsoft making casual gamers their main focus is the stupidest **** ever

I'm a casual and I don't play those games.....I find it quite offensive. :x

HTPCs in the living room.

Nintendo/MS/Sony no longer develop hardware, but instead release their own software clients to distribute their games and services (like Steam).

I could actually see that happen, but instead of HTPCs something like Onlive.

That too.

I just imagine any sort of PC really. I'd say even smartphones/tablets as well as they'll be powerful enough eventually.

Until a little ago I would've said casuals, this gen has been horse guano.

However, games like DX:HR and KoA make me think we're getting back to what awesome gaming used to be. If the trend continues, next gen will be a roaring comeback.

the way it looks, sadly i would say 10 years from now you'll just lie back and answer yes or no with voice command through the whole games. and they'll need iris or thumb print scan to even load them to begin with.

The cloud will take over down the line. First i think we see consoles die, and get replaced by pc's. Then everything goes to the cload

Casual gaming is good in ocasions, but nothing is better than a well developed story with great character interaction and bla bla bla.

I don't even know who that is. But once the infrastructures get better and the service itself is able to streamline better it will become a big thing. To think that you could play any game you wanted by doing very little is a big thing. And something a lot of people will get into. It's foolish to think it won't grow and bigger or gain any more recognition. It's a genius service that's just badly implemented at present. It has huge potential.

People also said ios devices wouldn't gain any recognition gaming wise and look at them. Sure not great games but that's not the point.

That is my only praise to be said for companies that stream games for a monthly fee. At least they aren't charging you for the game content itself since you don't get to own a copy, which is more than can be said for all the cloud ideas.

A unified Personal Gaming System. All games would be in a single online store like steam. Think of it, all devs would make games for it. Open source, the freedom of a PC and every game on the market. That would be awesome.

The past probably. At this point I'll take old games with modern graphics/tweaks.

Consoles are slowly becoming PCs so that is the obvious answer

as long as i don't HAVE to be online to purchase or play

and don't have to wait 5 years at a time for the other system's graphics to catch up, like now

one universal gaming/media system is a much better idea

Sony. Sony is the future and the only thing saving gaming from complete and total casualization. ispeakfact

The future is gaming as a service.

You'll buy your game from EA, or from Microsoft "Live" or from PSN, and you'll be able to play it on your smart TV, on your handheld, on your phone, on your tablet, on your laptop/desktop PC, on your retinal display HUD-based google glasses. On the skin grafted OLED screen on your @ss.

This technology will probably employ various methods to get the game to you. Some times you'll be playing on the cloud, other times it might be a generic device, and a few times (and I do believe this will decrease i the future) dedicated hardware.

I thought I was alone in this world.. thank you. One system where you could play World of Warcraft, Uncharted, Halo and Super Mario would be beast.

I say cloud... if it ever gets better then PC.

The future of gaming is anything digital.

Phones, tablets, computers, consoles, you name it.

Every OS, every appliance, has games for it.
