Back then it started with 2D, then 3D and 2.5D, we got platformers, first-person shooters, RPGs, MMOs, and many different genres with consoles, mouse and keyboard, and recently VR. Are you looking forward to a different genre? A new way of gaming? An improvement in graphics in some way? Something else entirely? What?

That, and a whole lot of other things.

Imagine any game where you've got an assistant/sidekick... Say, a fairy companion that not only says, "Listen!" Every now and again to point out hidden things nearby, but also occasionally makes fun of you when you miss an easy shot. Or reminds you that you really shouldn't have accepted this side quest if you were going to take THREE FRIGGIN WEEKS to finish it.

The possibilities are endless!

What I would do would make a game sidekick that had a constant fear that they were in a simulation and would try to break through the 4th wall when it (the game) hears (via your PC's microphone) people talking in the background through "your voice". Or when it hears your phone ring or message tones, etc. Because that would be so immersive and also hilarious!
