Forums - Gaming - The Future Of The Gamer

 

There have been many articles, about how the future of gaming could, would, should be like.

 

But the question I am asking is: what about the future of the gamer?.

 

We all know old people don't play computer games, although the Wii may have changed this a bit, but its a simple fact, that they have not grown up with Video Games, like todays generations.

 

How do you see yourself as a gamer when you grow old? 

 

Do you think you will just stop playing games at some time because you are too old for that, or maybe just lose interest?

 

Will you keep up with the latest technology?

 

i think i will probably sit in a retirement home with my Playstation 8, talking to my Eyepets, ranting about the virtual worlds all the young kids play in today, since that is NOT real gaming anymore! Going on about how the PS8 was the pinnacle of consoles, and everything since then is simply inferior! And I keep arguing about it with my roommate and his XBOX-Infinity ..and milos son!

 

 

 

 ...i hope not!

 

 

 

where do you see yourself in 50 years?

 



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

In terms of gaming, I see myself gaming with my kids and even grand kids in 50 years. My kids will keep me up to date with all the new stuff.



Old people do play computer games. You rarely see as addicted gamers as old people who play Solitaire on PC.

And where do i see myself after 50 years? Six feet under.



Ei Kiinasti.

Eikä Japanisti.

Vaan pannaan jalalla koreasti.

 

Nintendo games sell only on Nintendo system.

Actually that was a point i almost put into my Post. My grandmother grew up with other games, she loved playing cards and played card games all her life. She might have enjoyed solitaire as well! :D

I will play Starcraft until the day I die.



I LOVE ICELAND!

I'll still be bitching about how the golden age of gaming was 1981 - 1994, showing my grandkids the first D-Pad, the first motion controlled game, the first platformer, the first RPG, the first MMO, and how to play Doom on a LAN, or plug 2 Game Boys into each other.

And I will play StarCraft until the day I die.
