When will video games eliminate movies?
It seems that movies are on a sharp downhill, face-first descent while video games are enjoying more success than ever. Its a fairly well known bit of trivia that the video game industry makes more money than the movie industry. Video games are become much more plot driven, smart, and interactive. Its now possible actually speak commands and play with people from all over the world. The day of mindless button-mashing and splatter games is over. People want depth and games that make them think and press their emotional buttons. OI has realized this and in my opinion their games have become more immersive and fleshed out. Though high end concepts like Hand of Odd probably won't make it to the Xbox, games like Hand of Odd most certainly will be produced for PS3 and Microsoft's and Nintendo's new systems. Quite frankly, if I was a movie producer I'd be terrified. In less than a decade we've gone from Sonic the Hedgehog to Solid Snake, Master Chief, and Abe. Following Moore's Law rather loosely video game consoles will be over 200 times as powerful as they are now and with all of the advances made in processing every day I wouldn't be surprised if they were to become 300, 400, 500, or maybe even a thousand times as powerful!
