A game that would still be played in a thousand years from now.

Hello everyone, today I would like to talk about a game that would still be played in a thousand years from now. Video games has come a long way such as starting from Pong to games that are popular known today like Battlefield 3 , Assassin’s Creed & League of Legends. However I would not be stating any of those games but will be saying what type of game that would still be played in a thousand years from now on.

The game that I believe that would still be played in a thousand years from now would be sandbox games. Sandbox games are games that have a world for players to explore and games that implement this are games such as Grand Theft Auto 4, Guild wars 2 and Minecraft. Sandbox games give players a feel psychologically that they are in a new world and they can do what they want with it in that world and also wants them to try things they cannot after knowing how the game works in example in GTA, cars are often stolen by the player to travel around however there also cheat codes to give them more hilarious moments such as flying around in cars etc. In addition to this in some sandbox games like guild wars 2, there are areas where players get to look around the area which are called Vistas and also there are events that happen from time to time at the areas to give the player like a hero on a journey to travel and encounter a town that requires help defending against orcs or centaurs.

Sandbox games are slowly appearing more and more as players wants to know more about the game’s world and wish to explore it in hopes of finding things they could never find in the ordinary game flow hence players would actually be pleased trying it. As technology progresses over time there might be more expanded worlds which could be very huge like for example Elder scrolls: Skyrim which has a very large atlas. Who knows what may happen in the future of Sandbox games with technology, maybe we would be able to control it physically like Kinect where we could actually see the game from our eyes and all but the games that have a sandbox elements will survive and still be played in a thousand years from now on.
