Hopefully, gaming will be similar to what it is today 20 years from now. Unless something major happens to me physically to affect my ability to play, I don't see myself stopping. I also actually think we will see some Demolition Man style VR 20 years from now. Enterprising companies will utilize teledildonics technology to make virtual sex a reality. |

-More life-like graphics for big-budget games. -More of a creative atmosphere for low-budget games thanks to the embrace of the indie-gaming community in the last few years. -Mostly digital downloads and/or streaming gaming. Most companies will have moved on due to lower production costs and ease of digital distribution. -I think traditional consoles will be a thing of the past, and we'll all have things like the Roku Stick but for gaming. -Phones will be built to handle games that only consoles previously could. We're already starting to see some pretty amazing graphics on some phones. -In contrast to the VR thing, I don't think it will happen. We've been down this road before in the 90s, and people didn't like it. Some things just don't catch on, and I think VR is one of them. We really haven't heard much about the Oculus Rift since the initial promoting of it. |

I feel that in addition to mostly everything beng digital, companies will also try to push streaming for game content possibly due to advancements in technology. |

That is a shit ton of data to be transferred everytime you want to play a game. From a data standpoint my ISP only give me 200-250 GB of data a month. If streaming games became popular ISP's would get absolutely bogged down and It doesn't matter how many MB' upload/download you pay for if your ISP reaches the limits of their structures. |

In 20 years, we'll be looking at the speeds right now as if we were looking at dialup now lol I think most gaming will be digital for sure. There's really no reason not too, but I could see some form of physical content continuing on. Gaming by way of an SD card/USB type plugin. Small, cheap, can hold plenty of gigs. With everything basically digitized now, I don't think the old school will ever be forgotten. As long as companies like Nintendo, Sega, Sony, and Microsoft still exist, they'll want to release those games again and again. Not too mention that parents who brought up their kids on those games and then will bring up the next generation on them, it'll still hold a place. Plus a lot of properties and characters are a part of pop culture. That stuff doesn't disappear when we still have stuff from the 80's coming back. In 20 years, things that were popular right now will have that nostalgia for those that grow up. |
