In less than ten years, games will or probably will be photorealistic. When I'm sixty, they should be holo-deck level.

Of course I will be!

As long as my hands can hold a gamepad I will play. And by the time I lose this ability there probably is a way to play without hands that I can use.

Retorical question. Of course I will game. That is if I won't be dead by all the soda and energy drinks I use to pull through an all-nighter.

Do people in their 60's still listen to jazz or classic rock? Or watch the life time channel? Pretty sure everyone will still be gaming. Now the thing will be, will we be stuck using buttons and controllers, while the "young, hip kids" use augmented reality?

Assuming I am still alive and physically able to, of course I will!

I am in my mid 20s now, and although it is much harder to find time to game then it was in my last teens, I am hoping I'll always have some time to game each week

If Im alive and well, sure will. And hopefully I'll have kids, so I'll have more of a reason to continue to drop $300+ on new consoles and so that I will have some people to woop my behind who are in the same room.

Do older people stop reading books? When your sixty are you supposed to give up going to the movies? Or Sporting events?

The idea that you shouldn't be playing games as you grow older is stupid and just furthers the stereotype that games are for kids. The only reason older folks don't game now is because they didn't grow up with the hobby, but as more and more of us age you'll find that more and more older people are gaming.

Maybe, if there's anything worth the money. Though if things continue as they are then it's not looking very likely.

Yeah, I hope games don't get too casual and overly simple by then to appeal to a younger market. I hope I will remain a happy gamer all my life, as enthusiastic as ever! :)

Dean Takahasi of The San Jose Mercury News (and recent panelist on the Joystiq Podcast Roundtable) has apparently found the world's oldest person playing Halo 3, and it looks like that honor falls to a 95-year-old Japanese grandmother.

I'll continue to play games for as long as I enjoy it... Whether that be in 5 years or 50 years for whatever.
