Knights of the Old Republic

 Some of you may not know this classic game series. I would not be surprised but saddened as you have lost out on great experiences.  Bioware's Knights of the Old Republic's (KOTOR) first release was in 2003 and the second one in 2004. What made me, and other people, hold these games in high regards was definitely the story. Whilst you were forced into certain choices, most of what happened in the playthrough was your decision.  You wanted to be the (almost) comically evil person destroying everything he touches? No problem. You wanted to be ho holier than thou, (arguably) sci-fi universe's equivalent of a nun? You do you. All of that with sort of a turn based combat system with some DnDish (Dungeon and Dragons) dice element to decide all the calculations. But since we focus on the future, let's talk about KOTOR 3. We know that LucasArts in 2004 has made cuts to the budget, which also, unfortunately for many fans, included putting the KOTOR 3, which was in the design ph

GTA 6

Grand theft Auto games series has been an evolutionary one.

What changes could we expect? The answer is that pretty much everything technologically is subject to change. Graphics, is an obvious one, and for an example of graphical changes I'd encourage you to look at Rockstar's most recent game built on the same game engine, Red Dead Redemption 2.  But since we talk about chanes we are likely to see in GTA 6 I'd like to bring up certain thoughts brought forward by certain industry "leakers".

Introduction & Mount and Blade Games

 Hello and welcome to the "Future of Gaming" blog!  As you can probably guess thanks to the rather obvious title, this blog's aim is to cover future of gaming, be it the general future releases and technological advanacements that may come with it.  As lockdowns caused by the COVID-19 pandemic gave a lot of us a lot of free time to do things that we enjoy or sought to experience, be it hiking, fishing, watching the TV or gaming.  I, as someone who has spent a lot of his free time on the computer, playing various games ever since early childhood have spent a lot more money on gaming accessories and as well as time on games themselves during the lockdown than I am willing to openly admit. Among the games that I have exposed myself (and my wallet) to when pretty much everything grinded to a standstill there have been marvels which I will discuss step by step in sizeable chunks. Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord - Whilst I can't deny launch itself left a lot to be wished for
