Virtual Worlds are lame as hell, What's the point of sitting in front of a computer/TV doing something you could do in real life (which would be much more rewarding, since it really happened). Virtual world games the future? I hope not, I imagine that they would somehow merge with onlnie classes and forums, etc. and eventually people of the future live their life matrix style, like hermits secluded to their PC and "living" most of their lives virtually.

Whoa whoa, chill out. This is not the future of gaming. It is one of many futures of gaming. Gaming is not a linear history. It is growing and expanding in every possible direction, like say, that one giant blob in Akira.

Rubang's right

just because the current console offerings seem to force you to choose between the amped-up traditional experience and a low-budget revolution doesn't mean that one of these philosophies has to dominate, or that others have to go by the wayside

Its not the future of general gaming, but could it be the future of online gaming? Every major company in the industry has or are making a Free-roaming MMO style online franchise. World of Warcraft, and onlnie war game, Final Fantasy XI, EA with sims, MS with Halo Online, Fable 2, etc. even Nintendo with its Animal Crossing franchise (except their version of a virtual world is retarded by the friend code system)

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Midway introduced a virtual world to the MK franchise with all the crappy features they have been adding to the franchise lately.

"Virtual worlds virtually exploding in popularity, parents find new form of babysitters."

I felt like the topic subject needed a little 'adjustment'

Anybody coming up to me in Halo (virtual world or not) asking to go on some gaytastic joyride in a warthog is guaranteed to get a face full of plasma grenades. Consider yourself warned :)

I'm totally gagging on my virtual spoon. I am going out to a real bar to have a real drink and really get laid. Later.
