Video Games 2,000 Years From Now Will Ruin Your Life

The first thing you’ll notice in the year 4010 is the barren landscape, full of disease, dirt, and smoke. Children wail as their mothers scrounge the wasteland searching for foodstuffs from before the War. A few succeed. Others resort to a fate some would call worse than death, choosing their least healthy child to sacrifice for the good of the family.

The second thing you’ll notice is how good games look!

Today’s games feature graphics portrayed in beautiful 2D or horrific-looking 3D. Although they allow for hundreds of characters to act on screen at once, their very nature as polygons on a screen make them appear fake to us.

But in the future video games will be powered by your imagination.

No longer bound by processor speed or human progress, video game developers can let their wildest dreams be played out behind gamers’ eyelids. Each blade of grass looks just as it does in photos from before the War and each gun looks like it does burned into every wasteland child’s memories.

Truly it’s a wonderful age to see what’s happening in games.
