So here come the new Videogame Consoles, bringing much need relief to the RAM and GPU starved "Triple A" developers of the world. Will we see that power put to good use? Or will the same old shit just get polished to an even greater shine?
Digital distribution has allowed hundreds of developers, jaded by the AAA grindstone, to jump ship and start indie projects of all shapes and sizes. Crowdsourced funding has even allowed the creation of an entirely publisher-free "AAA" budget game (Star Citizen). The PC games scene has never been so vibrant. But is this sustainable in a world where the market for desktop PCs is shrinking all the time, and App Store prices are trending to $0.00?
Meanwhile, various technologies wait in the wings with the potential to turn everything on its head. Will Occulus, Valve, Google or Sony usher in a new world of head-mounted displays that immerse players in completely new and compelling ways?
Oh yeah, and there's Nintendo. Dark horse or dead horse?
Where's it all going eh? Will we still be pressing X to jump in 10 years time?
