The one thing I can be sure of is that it can ALWAYS be worse. Always.

Stick to indie games/mid-budget games.

>What are games in the 2020s going to be like?
Shit.
>If the trend continues, what is going to happen to gaming in general?
Even more microtransactions, lootbox shit and pandering to "woke" types.

Battle royales
That’s it

Honestly no idea, it could always get worse though. At this point normalfags are only going to care about minor graphical improvements so much, so how do they intend to keep getting them to upgrade? We know damn well it's not going to be by making better games. More gimmicks?

I predict massive stagnation in the lootbox/rapid fire/esport genre. once true 360 wireless Outdoor AR becomes affordable and good were going to see a new renassaince in exploration/co-op games set in the real world outside in full 360 AR

The following 15 years of gaming will be the golden age, and than once hyper surveilance takes over and bannings we'll see bootleg underground AR zones in IRL that gamers will go to

single player will come back with a bang baby I can feel it the golden age of solo and possibly coop campaigns is almost upon us

best games come out at the end of console gen

shit's gonna be fucking gr8

Closer and closer to "movie" presentation until we basically have western VN type deals that have story branches in lootboxes. Want something in the story to change? Gotta pay for it. Want to make the ending less shit? Gotta pay for it. Movie games could very well become much more literal.

When did being "woke" start referring to lefty progressive types anyway? I thought it just meant being aware.

not good at all just awful nothing like what it sounded like in my head

>in general
shit
>my favorite games?
good

cute

That sounds 100% possible. They would eat that shit up. The only reason they already don't like VNs is because they are too "weeb" for them. Hopefully the indie scene can improve somewhat.

Imagine Disney getting in on that shit, god it'd be a whole new tier of awful "gaming"

Gamers are dead
Every activity will eventually be taken over by normalfags and will be promoted and controlled by corporations.

All fiction will be reduced to the equivalent of gray mush full of chemicals that makes you feel content and docile. It will exist solely to distract you from the horrors of the void.

Streaming and the beginning of the end of ownership of your games.
Hopefully the economy collapses and the West implodes before then.

in the next few years competitive gaming may take over even more and hamstring all potential innovation for the medium just like halo and cod did over a decade ago. while we are not at that position just yet, games have been pretty decent since 2015, we are dangerously close.

what' may be worse however is that young people who grew up with the industry in the last decade know only trash, and shit like Skyrim/Witcher 3 will become the benchmark for rpgs to them and they will be obsessed with competitive gaming they partook in during their youth, therefore the trajectory for innovation looks even bleaker. by the late 2020s, people's fondness for the late 00s to 2010s will blind them to what came earlier such as the 1990s as they will have neither the knowledge or experience. these people will become developers.

in less than 5 years liking vidya will be social suicide once more, the industry will crash, and Ahura Mazda will issue an avatar to purge the earth with cleansing flame
which means, at long last, we'll get some cozy AA genre titles again
all according to keikaku

Vidya is going to be like movies.
Soulless trash designed to appeal to the average retard.
So basically, just like it is now, but more so.

it's what they used to call themselves "i'm woke" is the mirror term to "i'm redpilled"
if you "know" that there is systemic opression of black fat women and that it's all the white man's fault, then you're woke.


of course we use it to mock them now because they're retarded as shit like always

Eventually it’ll be so mainstream the big-underground will emerge and hopefully that’ll even it out. Or a video game crash.

I want western games to fucking die. I want them all to crash and burn. There hasn't been any worthwhile western games in a long ass time that the Japs haven't done better.
