I find the VR and graphics thoughts interesting in here.
I could see VR bringing something back but I think once it's consumer price friendly it will die out because kids will get that VR headset for Christmas and hide locked in their room VRing with the neighbor kid online.
The graphics part I find interesting also because as a kid (80's) I never went to arcades because they had better graphics than my commodore 64/vic 20/intellivision/or cousins atari.
I went for the "hangout" factor. Friends, strangers, beating high scores, multiplayer fun and interaction, because my parents were shopping in the mall for 2 hours and so on are why I was there.
Kids today have all the reasons I used to hit arcades right in their bedrooom. I think it's more because of the shift that started with Live and now PSN and maybe something from Nintendo (although they seem to resist it).
Want to play with friends? Online
Want to hang out and chat? Online party chat
Want to play together? Online coop
Want to challenge others? Online leaderboards or MP
Want that arcade junk food? There is an app for that, you don't have to move.
Parents need to go shopping at mall? What's a mall.....Do you mean Amazon?
l <---- Do you mean this glitch Gribble? If not, I'll keep looking.
I am on the other side of my sig....am I warm or cold?
