Topic: Your Favorite Series 25 Years from Now

Capcom will release the billionth version of Street Fighter II and Activision will be releasing a new Call of Duty game every month.

silly, you expect Activision to not run that series into the ground to the point that no one cares anymore like every popular series they have

I truly have no concept of what gaming will be like that far into the future. I imagine it'll be holograms or truly realistic virtual reality by then. That's going by the rapid rate of technological advances we're seeing in present day. I doubt video game systems will be anything like they are today. Physical media will be gone, I imagine. I think it's guaranteed gaming will be vastly different, because let's face it: There's not a lot more that can be done with console systems. How much more can you improve graphics? At a certain point, there's no place else to take things, and you have to come up with something new, like holograms, etc. Hell, I've read articles about the possibility of our consciousnesses being attached to computers by then.

25 years from now would be 2036. Nintendo pretty much releases their systems every five years. Going by that schedule, the Nintendo game systems 5 generations AFTER the Wii U, or their 11th generation console (if consoles still exist then), would be due for release soon. And the Zelda series would celebrate it's 50th anniversary! Like the great franchises in the world, Mario & Zelda will still be around.

And I look forward to Final Fantasy XXX (not for nekkid Lightning, though I wouldn't object ). And the latest remake of Final Fantasy IV for me to add to my collection. Hopefully V & VI will have a few remakes by then...

I hope lightsabers exist by then, or some point in my lifetime. Guns are so uncivilized! Hmmm, Star Wars: Episode VII, VIII & IX?

Gaga will be hotter than Madonna at 50.
_{not that hard}

This thread somehow reminds me of that part in Chrono Trigger-
SPOILER ALERT!
-When you go to the future and find everything ruined.

Sony buys Nintendo and Mario Kart Unleashed: Edition 9000 is released on the PiiWii3000.

...Okay, fine. In all honesty, 25 years from now, virtual reality is introduced. You can now experience the fulfillingness of stomping a goomba.

EDIT: Whoa, sorry for monstrous image size. D:

Donkey Kong Jr. Math : Quantum Physics and Algorithms

Metroid : Brother from Another Mother M & M

Uncharted 14 : Drake's Rap Battle

Sonic the Hedgehog : Need for Speed Turismo Chao Shadow Rings Unlimited Color Generations

Hooking Mama : Strength of the Pimp Hand

My game.
_{oh wait I 25 years? I thought he said centuries. oh well.}

I still need to :B: the first one!!1!

In 25 years...

This will be perfected as the new standard for controllers. Gone are the days of old chunky physical controllers with those dreaded buttons, we are the controller... even the eyetoy and kinnect are no match. Oh, and there is no more Television screens, all our viewing pleasure comes from a transmission signal that goes into our standard personal Head Piece device and into our own brains.

As for the games, well there aren't any, it was just a fad. Now we only use the controller as a means of stimulating our minds through the different strokes of the arms as means of entertainment. All Game companies have been forced to bankruptcy and are now devoted into selling card games.

In 25 years Mario will become an FPS. Final Fantasy will become an FPS. Zelda will become an FPS. Pac-Man will become an FPS. Gaming will become an FPS.

This is what the gaming industry in 25 years is going to be like.
