gaming The Theoretically Perfect Video Game(in my opinion).

[ScarfaceOne 263]

By 2020, I want a new genre of video games to emerge. Something akin to The Sims but more realistic, a video game that was a Soap Opera. So, it would take place in an Emmerdale-style village, and each time you start the game the residents are different, later, different residents die, move out and move on. And new ones will move in, and there would be random events such as explosions that can kill residents, a fair(that can go horribly wrong), and car chases. And you can buy cars and all sorts of stuff, and the AI is Turing Tested, like that Ukrainian Chatbot boy, but the Test will be more better. So there will be no need for voice acting or programming. And it would all be first person and you can create your own character, I would like the genre to be called ''Soap Opera game'' or ''Virtual Soap Opera''.

 

And then the news will say ''Eastenders, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks, Corrie and Days of our lives made obsolete by new game genre''. 

 

 

One more question, and a serious one. How large will Open World's be in 5 years? Can an Open World support 5,000,000 photorealistic km. By photorealistic, I mean ''not like Minecraft's infinite environment''.

 

What do you think?

 

Also, another topic, can a Holodeck be real? And could we play a realistic racing game that puts you in the life of a driver? Can a Holodeck be the solution to life?

Open Worlds can be massive photo realism in even a small map is hard. arma2/3 is pretty imprestive.

 

 

That game sounds Great, reminds me of a realistic darkrp

I hope that we'll someday in the future have a WWII version of PlanetSide 2, with an online MMORPG-like campaign stretching from 1939 to 1945, but on a much larger scale.

 

Basically a master server that can support up to 1-5 million people on a 1:1 scale map of the globe, so we'd be able to drive our tank column from Germany to Italy, in response to whatever invasion might be happening there from the Allied forces.

Yeah, it wouldn't be F2P, just a one-time deal. Or maybe subscription based, idk.

[Frozen The Unicorn 484]

Definitely one timee payment, free 2 pays and subscription are never popular

An ambitious idea, yet intriguing, I'll give you that.

 

I suppose it could happen, its amazing to think how much gaming technology has advanced in just 20 years, we've gone from sprite based design models and a lot of necessary imagination to almost photorealistic games in some cases, who knows where it could be soon enough. I don't think we'll see it in just 5 years though. The level of technology required is just too expensive right now, and at the end of the day, gaming is still a business. Developers want to make money, not necessarily the most advanced game ever.

Now everyone, a 5 Million player game would be good. I just hope you can talk more about this.

[ScarfaceOne 263]

I hope by 2020 this can be accomplished. What do you think?
