The Rise of Cros-Platform Gaming

The console and PC markets are evolving. Windows 10 has demonstrated a remarkable commitment to PC gamers, with regular updates to graphics and software capacities. With the upcoming Project Scorpio due for release at the end of this fiscal year, cross-platform gaming may soon become a reality between consoles and personal computers. Imagine playing an online match against hundreds of PC and console players simultaneously. Imagine creating a map on a PC editing platform, then showcasing your plan to console and PC players in real time! 




Customization is the rightful future of video games. Players want maximum customization. They want options to change their character to their liking, customization of weapons and maps, and they do not want restrictions in the next generation. I imagine a future in which players can craft custom single-player and multiplayer missions on the fly, then swap levels and customized missions with other players. Imagine if players create a campaign mission better than what the developer’s craft, forcing the developer’s hand in hiring said player to design levels for them. Imagine gaming journalists or game developers hired on the fly for creating the best mods and extending the longevity of triple AAA titles.
