Advances in hardware and software are made at a furious rate. Responding to this is a tough challenge that continually forces the games industry to innovate. Pressure is on to stay on top. Game production budgets soar and increasingly complex technologies boost the weaponry. In this talk, we will discuss the current battle plan, closing lines around some of the recent trends in the games industry, and examining the more promising technologies we can add to our arsenal. But no guarantee of success can be offered and your input to the discussion will be welcomed.
