The Future of Gaming
In truth, 2015 is likely to be much like the year before it in terms of the way we play video games. You have a controller, a console, and a TV. And maybe some friends—be they in your home or at the other end of a broadband connection. And away you go. Don't expect anything particularly radical in the next 12 months.
… unless. So far as home tech goes, there might be a couple of interesting developments. Firstly, we might finally see the full-market release of Valve's Steam Machine(s), gaming computers built by various manufacturers but that run all games on the same Linux-based SteamOS, designed to fit beneath your TV like a PlayStation. Second, virtual reality—be that the Oculus VR-developed Rift, Sony's Project Morpheus, or Samsung's already available Gear VR—may finally find a place in the mainstream after several botched attempts.
