So I decided to get a thread going for your expectations for videogames 100 years from now after the other two threads I made had good replies.
So what do you think videogames will be like? I think the term "videogame" might be gone completely by then. The games of the future could easily be much more like "jacking in" to the matrix, type of deal, where you are plugged into a system that simulates an entire virtual world.
I also expect games to move from the primarily visual setup of today, to more of a full experience. By then, the human brain may have been decyphered, where computers are able to trick our minds into thinking we are in different situations, including several (if not all) of the senses.
I'm not sure how many people would find a battle game very fun if it actually felt like you just got shot when you are shot in the game, but who knows. There are certainly many potential elements that could be introduced to games in the future that we aren't even able to think up right now.
