Future Of Video Games: Lot of Ways To Play, User Generated Games, And More

 
Video games have come a very long way in a very short period of time. A few decades ago, there was no Internet, no gaming consoles, and no Nintendo, Xbox or PlayStation. Today, there’s a massive collection of video games available. From handheld devices to boxed machines, gamers have several options on which to play these video games.

 Here are some key predictions about the future of gaming.


Talented indie developers will come and shine
A rise in Kickstarter campaigns to help support indie developers indicates a big change in the gaming industry. Independent developers made a remarkable impression in the gaming world last year. Indie games such as No Man’s Sky, Unravel and The Witness have become highly popular in a very short period of time.

Gamers will create and play their own games 

Gamers will not only play the game, but they will also get their hands on game development. Since the inception of video games, people have to wait for development updates on their favorite games. However, the future looks to be in favor of gamers as it seems that they will be able to design, develop and play their own games soon.

There are games that currently offer creative customization tools to help players design and play their own levels. Titles such as Mario Maker, Doom and Hotline Miami 2 offer powerful map and level designing tools. Some of these games also allow players to share these levels online and challenge their friends.

More different ways to play 
The arrival of virtual reality has brought many changes in the life of game developers and players. Video games are moving from buttons to motion. With technical advancements in the gaming industry, including the highly popular virtual reality and augmented reality, game development studios are likely to bloom this year and beyond.

eSports will witness never-before-seen growth
Activision Blizzard has acquired Major League Gaming, one of the prominent names in eSports. With many key people taking interest in eSports, the gaming form has already reached millions of people worldwide. Recently, a school in Norway has added eSports to its curriculum, Ars Technica reports.
The new year has just started a couple of weeks ago, and changes in technology are yet to be seen and experienced. However, in the spirit of predicting the future of gaming, a slew of revolutionary changes seem to be in store in the coming years, which hopefully will affect both developers and gamers positively.
