World War 3 by 2048? That's not that long away... But for it to only last half as long as WW2 means it's bearable. Still, with how shitty UK seems to be right now, all I can hope for is things will get better.
Still, it's interesting to see VR and AR advance. I'm not much of a gamer, but been fascinated to see how far it would go. And while I know of the inate fear of AI software, my "dream VR game" would be an open-world VR game where an advance AI serves as both game master and god to your personal experience.
Yeah, but at that time there'll be more interesting things than the game technology.
KFK said in 2050s and after there will be spiritual and intellectual leaps.
Humanity evolves in consciousness and worldview and exploring that would be the 'new game'.
Of course before that's happened, there will still be full-immersion VR and holographic entertainment boom.
And before that, smartphones will fade first followed by AR glasses or implanted contacts rise while strong AI becomes mass-produced by the late 2030s.

I can see why they were angry. Especially given Genshinm Imact was already out a year or so when it was nominated, making fans feel it was unfair for a game with a playerbase in-advance to be nominated.
The Game Awards team always has a way to make a mess with Sonic fandom
I've seen it, not like we need more stokes for Sonic Unleashed remake we won't be getting.
