In 20 years

[Dentafrice]

Well 23 years ago the NES was released.

We can easily download a NES emulator, most every game is under 2MB, most under 1MB.

What do you think about the games now, GTA4, Halo 3, all the best selling games, do you think we will be able to play them like we are now?

I was shocked at Windows 3.1 being only 8MB, but back then, it was huge.

Do you think the GB's that games take up... will be like a KB today?

[Neil]

I wouldn't say it'd be like a KB today, maybe comparable to MB since it'd still take quite a while but with faster internet speeds and bigger hard drives in computers GB wont seem so much so you'd be able to download games like GTA4 quite easily, whether we'll see emulators for that is probably a possibility but who knows xD

It just amazes me how far we have progressed in so little time.

[Kieran]

But will it reach a point where we can't advance so quickly anymore? When we use up all our knowledge for say a generation?

Na, as long as we have the chinese, we have technological advances.

[Kieran]

Lol, I suppose you have a point =)
Good ol' Chinese

[Dentafrice]

Yep, ching chang chung!

They work hard too. Ching chang, new CPU! 6THz

[Kieran]

I cant wait for technology in 20 years time. Hopefully like flying cars in every house =)
Lets just hope someone doesnt make a computer that takes over human beings :P

[Dentafrice]

I want teleporters.

You can be places instantly.

[Kieran]

But where's the fun in that :P
The fun in flying places now there's something to look forward to... :P

[Dentafrice]

I hate waiting, and driving places, etc. I want to be there instantly, and get to where I want instantly.

[Kieran]

Fair enough xP
I'd rather drive there.

[Dentafrice]

Less polution, by far!

[Thr@ne]

Gaming will be unreal.

well if you're like my friend (Has 1tbs internet) then you can probably get games torrented within minutes so they are small

[Dentafrice]

Your friend does not have 1 terrabyte per second. Quit lying.

I'm sorry but I SERIOUSLY find that hard to believe, no one offers 1tb connection :rolleyes:
The highest at the moment is like 50Mb :rolleyes:

Oh yes and I bought the moon for £5000 and host yearly moon ball games on it

[Dentafrice]

LMAO, Summer Moonlympics.

[Neil]

LMAO, Summer Moonlympics.

Yea, taking the moon buggy out and jumping some craters, I have a trophy and everything for that

[Dentafrice]

Aww really? All I got was a gold medal and some moon rocks.

PMSL, 1TB/s internet? I will eat my own socks if that's true.

Tbh, I very much doubt we'll be able to emulate PS3, 360 and wii games on the PC in the forseeable. Games consoles are equipped with immense hardware that produce the graphics you see, PCs (at least domestic PCs) will never be able to produce that amount of power. They've only just nailed PS2 emulation, and that's for a small minority of games. They're still trying but getting nowhere with XBox emulation, and I've never heard of a gamecube emulator. Hell, they can't even get DS emulation sorted, and thats less powerful than the PS1. The current generation of consoles are a thousand times more complicated than the PS2, GC and XBox, so it'll take them considerably longer still.

Don't get your hopes up dears ;)
