So What's Next?
by Steve Gibson, Jan 25, 2000 5:20pm PSTWell, seeing as how it's slowed down for the evening it's about time to toss another discussion topic out there right? Here's the question of the day, what do you guys think the next big 'evolutionary step' is for multiplayer gaming? I realize it's a pretty broad question but what the hell. Along with the whole photorealistic graphics thing I'm thinking the next big step is communication between players. It's pretty archaic in general right now to be sure.

I rember clicking one of that guys links before and i have to run and puke (blaaa, blaaahh, spew) everytime i think about the link he put up. was a guy speading his cheeks and his muscles around his butt were showing. (excuse me i have to run to the bathroom again)

Only company that understands the future of online gaming less
than ESPN is 3dfx.
I sure hope thats pudding
gaming on ESPN
Well, maybe not ESPN. But gaming as a spectator sport is just about here. You\'re
gonna have real sponsorship and stuff and major coverage. Not to mention the
betting pools, heh...
Which will be fun to see the reaction of the anti-violence freaks to gib-TV. So, for
the sake of PR...
I saw on ESPN a few months ago - get this: A Magic: The Gathering tournament
There was play by play commentary too! It was completly retarded! WTF IS THIS?
they can have 10 yr olds playing cards but no cool huge multiplayer game lan-tournaments?
its bull. I almost broke my tv when i saw this shit.
The last time I clicked an unknown link at Shack, I was traumatized for life. My poor eyes. :P

may sound stupid now, but star trek technology is coming closer!!!
the near future consists of better graphics, better speed -> more transmittion -> more animations -> better graphics, chatting by voice (viavoiceq3 ;-)), and maybe the start to vr with 3d glasses.
