Social Gaming

Video games are no longer limited to corporate-built consoles, thanks to the Wi-Fi accessible smartphones and tablets that are shaping entertainment for a new generation of players. .

Gaming has bled into main stream culture due to social gaming.

With 6 million mobile players daily, this trend is hard to ignore

Virtual Reality Video game consoles already feature games tied to motion sensors,

like the Kinect sensors for certain Microsoft Xbox consoles.

But SXSW showcased a new generation of wireless motion sensors that paired with virtual reality for an even more immersive experience.

Six sense displayed one such wireless tracking system that uses hand grips and goggles to allow users to wield virtual light sabers.

Killer Graphics The graphics of next-generation games like “Star Citizen” are

light years ahead of 1990s games, but gamers at the convention also played and sold the classic cartridges, showing that a good story can still age well

Programming has become much easier since the 1990s due to the vast resources of the Internet, so it’s possible for a team working outside of a major studio to build a rich, complex game like “Star Citizen,” which was named the “Most Anticipated Crowd funded Game of the Year” at SXSW.

your adventure games using your real skills like jumping and moving not by just pressing on the keyboard? Yes That will be possible in the next few decades.
