[QUOTE="Breakdaddy, post: 2804674, member: 6608"] Ok, the skycar statement seems ridiculous to me. You assert that my speculation is "unfounded". The foundation I am speculating upon is reality, our recent past. As for the technological limitations: they have been breached in the past and will continue to be breached in the future. I fail to see the artificial ceiling you are placing on technology in our little debate just to justify your initial hypothesis. As far as shallower content: You contend that Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Pitfall, and Asteroids (to name only a few) are MORE sophisticated than Battlefield 2, WoW, and CoH? Rubbish. Your last point is the most salient one. I can agree with your suggestion that it's possible the average computer gamer doesn't want to be immersed too deeply into our geeky little subrealm. However, this doesnt disprove my statement in the least. Gaming attitudes change, both in Tabletop and Computer gaming. Technology in the computing world far outpaces any technological progression made thus far in tabletop gaming. And to make my point again: Nobody knows what the future holds for technology. All we can do is look at the past and hypothesize based upon those trends. Current barriers will very likely be breached, and new programming techniques and tools will be utilized to make the gaming experience even more enjoyable and realistic. [/QUOTE]
