Future of Video Games

The future of Video Games is a hard idea to precive. They have come along way from the first video game pong. Now their are eniter communities that live in video games. The most obvious of these communities is World of Warcraft. This game consumes many peoples lives they poor hundreds and hundreds of hours in to the games. Some become so obsessed by the game the forget to function in the real world. I feel this type of community will only grow stronger and stronger as games advance and the gamer audience grows. We now have "pro-gamers" who are literally paid to play video games. It has begun to become so popular that they have even have received sponsorships and receive a tremendous amount of money. Due to the pro gaming community I feel as though the hand held analog controller will be around for quite some time. However with the introduction of the Wii video games have found brand new type of market one that allows anyone to play. Using motion controls creates a fun and intersting expericence but it has not been exploited by to it full potential yet. It does not allow for games to create deep story line which many of the more hardcore gamers thrive on. Video games will become ever more present in entertainment as the industry progresses. The next step is combining the interactivity of motion control and the high powered graphics and deep story line of the current types of games.
