WHAT'S NEW/WHAT'S NEXT?

So what are gamers playing now? Ask just about anyone
under the age of 30 and they will tell you all about Fortnite,
Minecraft, Animal Crossing and a slew of other popular titles that
still are attracting millions of fans and players around the world.
With the advent of the internet, gamers can play with others
wherever they may be - whether they are just down the street
or on the other side of the planet. Most multiplayer games that
release now include some sort of online component, making it
easy for gamers to hop into a match or a session with others.
Virtual reality is one of the latest gaming trends, and several
gaming companies released VR headsets that allow players to
feel like they are inside the game. The headsets connect to a
computer or game console, and VR-specific games put players in
the middle of the action on the starship Enterprise, in a fantasy
land with magic and dragons or even in the boots and utility belt
of Batman. In 2016, astronauts onboard the International Space
Station tried out the Microsoft HoloLens, a VR headset that could
help them perform experiments in orbit. While testing it, NASA
astronauts Scott Kelly and Tim Peake also tried out a VR
game - likely the first VR game ever played in space.
With the next generation of game consoles slated
to release later this year among plenty of hype with
gamers, the video game industry certainly is not
showing signs of slowing down anytime soon. While the
industry has shifted from the dimly lit arcades of yesteryear
to the home entertainment centers of today, kids (and adults) of
all ages still turn to video games as an escape from everyday life.
