8 Terrifying Facts & Predictions About The Future Of Gaming

4. Fact: Triple-A Games On Your Phone

We're already seeing this in motion with Sony's latest PS4 update letting you beam your PS4's feed to an iPhone, controlling it with 12 on-screen buttons straight through the touch screen.

Personally I find the idea of controlling something like Red Dead 2 or Spider-Man through a phone ridiculous - especially seeing as the "shoulder buttons" are just awkwardly sitting on the side of the display - but I digress.

Sony putting the idea to the public is clearly a way to test the market, much like how PlayStation TV planted the idea of pairing a controller to your TV, it was just the wrong place at the wrong time (being associated with PSP games over anything else).

Point being: Sony invested heavily in Gaikai streaming technology for the PS4, and Microsoft have done the same with their own xCloud brand. Nintendo are likely waiting this one out, but we're definitely going to see an attempt to stream full triple-A releases directly onto your phone screens across the next generation.
