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?
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.Quote:

Lets just hope someone doesnt make a computer that takes over human beings :P
I want teleporters.
You can be places instantly.
But where's the fun in that :P
The fun in flying places now there's something to look forward to... :P
I hate waiting, and driving places, etc. I want to be there instantly, and get to where I want instantly.
Fair enough xP
I'd rather drive there.
Less polution, by far!
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
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:Quote:

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 ;)
Yeah, I see what your saying.Quote:
