An article by Valve, focuses primarily on the comparative Augmented Reality vs. Virtual Reality and gives arguments in favor of the latter (in line with the interests of Valve, I guess), in relation to video games.
With the RV, we continue to prefer using controls (pads, mouse, joystick dejuegos, etc.), While opening the door to new possibilities, such as haptic gloves. In the first case one plays well and simply improves immersion (though not the priority when playing). In the second case, it is possible that the current pricing power and technology evolved, a claim can be for many people, but we have seen first with Kinect Wiimote and then you just add new gameplay possibilities have allowed massive victory shallow games playable.
Okay that different companies like Valve or Google to invest in R & D for RV and RA respectively or both, but must always be accompanied by a good market analysis and especially do not leave out the investigation and for more investment but to new gameplay mechanics that work.
The article ill be the judge of That, which talks about the evolution of video games, long term: http://illbethejudgeofthat.wordpress.com/2009/08/05/2d-vs-3d-a-gaming- evolution / raises the possibility that a new technology, or immersive surround is the last step, leaving all others obsolete, when commenting at the end of his report:
"Eventually, video-games and will cease to exist In Their place will be indistinguishable from reality 3D simulations, virtual reality will to exist for persons willing to partake in, the only refuge for nostalgic gamers will be Their PCs and software emulating That will enable them to relive the 'glory days' of gaming while the rest of humanity are slaves to the Matrix, or at the very least, ludicrous system requirements. " As has been happening in science and technology often.
But in contrast to this idea, some people believe it is simply a part of the future, and do not agree with the vision and giving these items. Not everything has shifted to 3D without remedy or VR passage is, or will in a position VR marginal conventional forms of play.
So for these people, you may have later when, in the future, advanced virtual reality, as proposed, films like Matrix or Tron, without glasses, helmets or gloves, you may also be designed for consoles market , new sets of lateral and vertical 2D mechanical and arcade-style games like Hard Corp Uprising, Ultimate Ghost n 'Goblins, Sine Mora, Raiden IV, Sonic 4: Episode 2, Double Dragon Neon, ...: (platforms , shoot em up, beat em up, run and gun, and fight Vs), and continue to make new games like this, and not be gone then, reaching mechanical games more immersive 3D game where players always see within the game, as I said illbethejudgeofthat, Article 2D Vs 3D gaming evolution.
He believed that all converge to more complex forms and immersive, in video games, leaving the simpler forms, such as 2D gameplay mechanics, static screens, more limited. In addition, this type of fixed screens do not allow much spectacular.
In film and television, I thought, that after the flat panel Plasma / LCD / LED / OLED, the next step would be the real 3D dynamic holograms, and as a last step, reach Virtual Reality. With it, we would cease to see a story told from the outside, as formerly did the storyteller in the best sense of the word, in a theater or opera. A radio environment, or screen. Us becoming protagonists of the story or action, and no one would want to be a spectator of a story we narrate or passing, passively.
Although, like board games or table, still present among us, and have not been disappearing gradually apartir the years 1990 to the present, for some unknown reason. And even new looks that appear every so often. Maybe they've managed to survive as an alternative to electronic games, as it seems that not all the world seem to like video games or computer games. And do not seem to have come back into fashion, temporarily, as often happens with things that are in fashion.
Some argue that the first thing we should have for the supposed death of video games or developments mechanical 2D, 3D and feelings after a comfortable interface that allows us to interact as naturally and accurately as possible in this 3D environment. And even then, that you are going to die is unlikely. That is, there are currently extremely complex strategy games, with many more variables (and therefore size) that board games and cards, like checkers, chess, backgammon, dominoes, chess, ludo and go on all modern variedades.Ejemplos are Monopoly, Scrabble, strategist, Game of Thrones, Reversi or Nucleus. Games that do not seem to have become irrelevant over time.
Even then, these people argue that television different systems coexist, until you can do as Matrix and play and receive imputs directly to mind, in which case any other interface will be obsolete.
