NextGen has an interesting little feature online discussing the future games. The piece only scratches the surface of the phenomenal changes to come: digital distribution, microtransactions, interface innovation, user-generated content. The way I see it, the existing physicality of games - the consoles, the discs, the controllers - will continue to shrink and fade. I imagine the boundaries fading as well, so that we have a truly ubiquitous gaming experience integrated throughout our daily lives - the goal being, essentially, like a phone that you can take and use anywhere. To me, that should be the goal: a truly mobile, cross-platform, persistent game world that we can access and manipulate from wherever we are.
