What video games will look like in 2050. Technology will evolve to an unimaginable level
When online games were first created, few people imagined that the gambling industry would come so quickly. What started as a few communities of poorly connected players has now spawned a revolution in gaming, as millions of people log in every day of the week to compete in everything from battle royale games to casino promos.
However, at the beginning of the 21st century, the progress of online gaming suddenly stalled, with cloud gaming platforms collapsing when expected to take over, and new titles like Cyberpunk 2077 crashing.
When people turn around, though, and look at the bigger picture, the industry has always been the cause of a few hurdles down the road after what has been meteoric growth at the top of the entertainment sector. Now everyone is watching and waiting to see what will be the next huge breakthrough in the field of online games. In this article we look deep into our crystal ball of technology to look for new trends and innovations that will launch online gaming into another dimension.
Mobile gaming will proliferate as more and more players around the world gain access to cheap mobile devices and superfast data connections.
Sites based on a comparison already offers a perspective into the future
Instead of jumping straight into the vague world of AI and VR, we thought we’d start by taking a look at some of the apps and sites that are already out there, doing a great job for the online gaming community in addition to boosting apps that will develop further in the short to medium term. One of these is comparison and app sites, because as the range of game providers grows, so does the time it takes players to figure out which sites and platforms are best suited to their needs, according to Techwezz.
This is where comparison services come in, not only evaluating the major online game players in the industry, but also offering accompanied special offers to help players on their way. In doing so, comparison sites and apps also demystify all the terms and conditions that come attached to casino bonuses or sign-up offers, so players can spend more time playing and less time wasted in print.
As such services continue to develop, expect them to become fully integrated into browsers, so soon enough players will have to think about taking advantage of the best deals or transferring their gaming accounts in the blink of an eye, to a platform that offers more for less. This is already happening in the online retail industry thanks to apps like Honey, and the same is specified to follow it in games, according to Techwezz.
VR headsets are constantly shrinking in size and price, and will soon be an integral part of any standard gaming setup.
Artificial intelligence will drive online gaming lobbies
AI, as it is known, is already prevalent in most online gaming experiences, sometimes in obvious ways as it controls computer-operated avatars, and sometimes in more opaque ways. However, there can be no doubt that AI will play a much bigger role in the future of gaming, as computer programs become increasingly autonomous and are capable of solving complex problems.
This is already happening in the field of customer service, where it is completely normal to now converse with a chat bot that can often deal with a player’s problem long before it requires contact with a human operator. Then there are things like chess computers, which have already shown that they have what it takes to think and fool the best human players in the world. The only problem with all of this might be that AI systems could become too good at what they do, allowing those players who don’t want to play by the rules to find nefarious ways to win tournaments and competitions online. Who knows, that could become for Esports, where doping is for traditional sports, according to Techwezz.
Mobile games will be that „perfect match”
A current trend that is going nowhere is that of mobile gaming, as all game developers now know that the more their titles are available to mobile users, the greater the global reach they tend to have. This is because, in many African and Asian countries, mobile gamers far outnumber people playing on PC or console.
As mobile devices enjoy increasing computing power, the very existence of PCs and consoles is threatened. This is also because some of the most successful games in recent years have been those that have combined mobile technology with elements of alternate reality. A perfect example of this was Pokémon Go, which had the ability to gather people from all over the world, those who wanted to go after the developers of the game.
