Some of this stuff I just don't see happening in the next ten years, maybe fifty or so, but ten years I doubt it. More advanced motion controls are a given, but holodecks? I doubt we see them in the next ten years, sure they are possible now I suppose, but think of the cost it would take to put one in your house. Would you have to remodel a whole room or would it just be like a phone booth sized thing? Either way it sounds terribly expensive. The capture technology will definitely happen and become more mainstream, because ragdoll physics and shit like that are beginning to feel dated as games get more and more graphically advanced.

The connected one is pretty much already here. All the major systems anymore are capable of going online and connecting with people all over the globe. As to the death of single player, people have been saying that for quite a while and I have yet to see it happen. Sure some games like CoD have basically removed the story mode or whittled it down to nothing in favor of more multiplayer, but as far as I can tell this is not the norm and probably will never be. Sure like the article points out there are ways to still have single player and still show other players like Demon's Souls does, but how would that work in say Final Fantasy or Civilization?

I imagine graphics will keep getting better too, but at some point they will become "too human" and players will be disgusted with killing something that actually looks human and isn't kind of, for lack of a better term, cartoony looking. VR has been promised to us for as long as I can recall and they have yet to really deliver, so we'll see, but given the track record I'm a little doubtful.
