Steven Spielberg thinks that after making two games, he has enough insight to predict the future of gaming. His prediction? Virtual reality, and the end of home consoles."Now we're all playing at home and someday we'll be playing directly on our TV sets, bypassing all of the platforms," says Spielberg. The director, who says he's a PC gamer more than anything else, wants to see 3D games developed for "a real three-dimensional experience".
"And after that, will certainly be virtual reality, which just like 3D came and went in the 1950s, and now it's here to stay in movies," he continues. "I really think virtual reality, which experimentally came and went in the eighties, is going to be redeveloped, just like 3D is being redeveloped today, and that's going to be the new platform for our gaming future."
While I don't deny a potential virtual reality resurgence, I see the end of consoles as a hard pill to swallow. I think people are always going to want to physically purchase consoles. Downloading games is one thing, but trust me Spielberg, consoles are here to stay.
