Decline of Video Gaming

[Lord-Bagel]

The Decline of Video Gaming series owned. But after that's all done, how is video gaming really going to decline? I think that they are going to get so immersive, that you just lay down, hook yourself up, and live for the rest of your lives hooked up to the game. Ergo (in the words of the Architect) humanity will die because they don't stop playing the games, and so never eat. Thus video games will be the cause and mechanism of their own downfall...

I like the Decline series. I don't think Video games will decline yet, but someone told me video games would stop after the generation with the PS3, Revolution and X-Box 360. Might be false, but still, I guess it could be possible to stop there.

Ideas will eventually run out.

[chadarack]

I liked the Decline of Video Gaming series and yeah people will run out of ideas some day.

[Trampalite]

Well Idea's might run out, but that hasn't stopped the movie industry

zing

but seriously folks, video games don't have to be original, just fun. Innovative, but thats kind of different.

[Kev-o]

Well, then again, NCAA games will keep coming out.

[oatmealtormentor]

ideas will never run out, but someday they´ll go to far in asking money for everything. Then their will be a period of time where young folks don´t have so much money anymore and then 70% of the developers/publishers wil have to stop.

Offcourse EA would´t because they got money enough, aswell as microsoft.

[PantyWipe]

just rock yer NES and dont worry about it

[Aironax]

there will be always be at least one video game that will suck.. its just the way of life

[JonnySlingblade]

I can't wait till they start remaking old shitty games for next gen consoles...

CHUCK ROCK 360
NBA JAM 97 REDUX

[Fox-Ad-Infinitum]

Hooking yourself up to some high tech system to make it to where you see and feel in a game would be kinda dangerous. It has to fuck with your brain and what if the game system was corrupted or damaged in a certain way??? Could the system back fire and kill you by fucking your brain up?

Well, gaming crashed earlier because of Atari and intellevision and such. The main reason being there were too many developers making games, and more importantly, all the games SUCKED! Really i'm happy all the consoles have so much competition, because without it, all the developers would have high hopes, and keep going to one console, soon being overloaded, maybe destroying games forever. People may also run out of ideas, but there are alot of games that noone knows about, completely nothing games. Since people only buy games that are garunteed to be fun, they'll be playing the same thing over and over again. This is the direction decline points in. Though, some developers, like the makers of Doom, are making another franchise, which is wise.

Is this person from the future, did he also warn you about how the Iraqi war will get out of hand or something? What's up with North Korea in a few years?

yeah I think the series declined itself. 1st was really funny, 2nd was only funnier cause it was longer, but I can't watch it over and over again cause it's long. 3rd was as long as 2nd one but was more story driven rather then joke driven making it suck ass.
....yeah.

That can't be true. Too much money is being made for the greedy game designers to stop.,

[Automatic-M16]

I agree, eventually the industry will have to do what movies do... make the title tell the player EXACTLY what it means, I.E: The Cave, Predator, and Halo (yes it's a game, but it is obvious). But until that happens, we can all rest assured that names are still open.

[angrygandhi]

yes, and we will live in the matrix, thats exactly what you were describing

[SirHumpalot]

I wish it was still '94 where games were original and fresh.

:D

VH1's I love the 90's :D

[pendelum5]

the TRUE decline of video gaming

Life after the Video Gaming Crash

[punkorsunk]

this is a good topic to list it kicks ass

[MrAltaco]

that guy is wrong. people stopped caring about old systems not because the novelty wore off, they stopped caring because BETTER systems came out!

[Shadow-XII]

The Decline of Video Gaming series sucked, really.

I personally didnt find the jokes funny, but meh.

[SpaceAndTime]

Eventually we will actually be able to control videogames and even machines with our minds, but not in the way people think;
See, scientists hooked a robotic arm up to a monkey and placed a few electrons or something inside its brain, and the monkey was able to freely use and manipulate the arm. (once the brain had figured out how to use the electrons.)

Imagine being able to plug a USB (well, something much better) into your brain and having complete, instant, acurate control! This would eliminate the need to use your hands to do stuff (which would later fall off from lack of use.)
It would also eliminate the annoying fact that if you move the control stick only slightly, your vehicle flys wildly in an undesired direction

[CursedPanther]

The series are very nice, it's just that ep.3 that just came out had lost the meaning of its title. Ep.3 is more like a sequel to ep.2. The 1st 2 sticked to declining of VG.

[PsychoPilot]

I really dont care about gaming becouse I get tired of playing for a minimum of two or four hours if its a good game and from there I watch TV.

[DonutPower]

Even though a lot of games suck and many games are very unoriginal, the video gaming industry is certainly not declining. It'll take a long while before it does.

As for the "decline of video gaming" flash series on NG, each new episode is more boring than the previous ones and most of their jokes are unfunny. ;/

[HOLLYWOOD310]

well let me start off by saying that the decline seris ruled they are the reason that i started flash myself............. ohh yeah i think that they wont lose ideas bc they can make videogames according to what is going on with the world... for example ppl can make a game about................................ u noe what the gaming industry will run out of ideas

[LordPatracos]

decline be the bestenest. i dont think video games r gonna decline at all. everythings going fine except hillary doesnt want to notice.
