Future of Games
by Steve Gibson, Feb 01, 2001 10:13am PSTGameSlice has an interesting article discussing the future of interactivity in gaming. (Thanks Eric) Topics include such big and intimidating words such as reciprocity, submersion, and escapism! Short but good stuff:
The future of interactivity and eventual escapism is not dependent on virtual reality gyroscopes or illusionary holodecks. If the level of interactivity is enough to stimulate the mind and imagination of the gamer to make the player believe that they are in this alternate dimension, then, for all intents and purposes, they are.
