are so popular. On top of all these experiences,
the multiplayer aspect of
modern games attracts an even wider
audience. Multiplayer games let people
enjoy these experiences with real
people instead of computer generated
bots. That makes it a lot closer to a real
world experience. Open world games
let players explore and approach the
game and other players freely, as opposed
to a linear and structured gameplay.
If you think about it, you can easily
picture this as the earliest stage of a
rising digital world where people live a
much more abstract and adventurous
life alongside their regular lives.
Artificial Intelligence
Another main issue in virtual worlds that currently
exist in games is the lack of intelligence about the
objects a player interacts with. They have been programmed
to behave in certain ways and they lack
the ability to change behaviors and adapt. But with
the development of AI design tools, designers have
gained the ability to craft open-world environments
and create simulations and systems that come closer
to achieving the complexity of the real world.
The Crazy Possibility
Considering the current rate of progress
in the gaming sector, maybe in very near
future, if this bizarre concept is realized,
we all might be living a large part of our
lives in a crazy digital Utopia making
all sorts of crazy adventures or in other
words, we might all become players of a
great global virtual game!!!!
