All the time, gaming went hand in hand with the development of technology, but the new generation of games appears to be a much bigger leap. It is no longer concerning the better graphics or consoles that are quicker. Gamers have learned to want more of a world, smarter systems and experiences that are more personal and more immersive. Game plays are slowly adopting both digital and real life with regard to AI inspired characters, real world physics and social play. The future of gaming is not actually about what we are playing but how we are reading and watching, and testing other-self and communicating with each other. Games are gradually turning in living worlds rather than the dead entertainment that was brought about by the rise in technology.
Smarter NPCs
The non-playable characters will be made more human. They are not going to repeat the scripts, reacting to the choices of the players, remembering their experience, and modifying their actions makes worlds look like they are alive.
Living Worlds
The settings of the games are also going to vary over time. The actions of the players (which are permitted to be weather, ecosystems and cities) allow the world to evolve in to dynamic and uncertain worlds.
Realistic Physics
The new generation games will rely on natural movement and interaction. The objects will be in a more realistic manner and fighting, exploration and puzzles will be realistic and enjoyable.
Player Freedom
Players control more in games that will be played in future in terms of how stories will be revealed. The different paths, moral choices, and uncoordinated endings will guarantee that no two playthroughs will be the same.
AI Storytelling
The AI will help in the development of quests, dialogue, and side-stories, in real-time. It means that you will observe fewer and fewer repetitious missions and more personalized stories depending on your play.
Social Play
Multiplayers will experience a biological and collaborative experience. The teamwork, team communication and collective creativity will be encouraged in lieu of the promotion of competition alone as the games will encourage teamwork.
Mixed Reality
Virtual and augmented reality will be used in order to mix gaming with the real world. Players are also able to touch the real spaces, which makes their introduction to the digital space more real and opens new possibilities of playing.
Seamless Platforms
Games will move between gadgets readily. It is possible to start the game on a console, continue playing it on your phone, and continue on a PC but not lose the game.
Creative Players
Players will make games increasingly influenced. Gamers will be co-creators and not players with the help of level, character, and story building tools.
Emotional Depth
The next-gen games will be implied to make players feel and not win only. It will be more emotional due to the relations, loss, growth and identity through stories in gaming.
