An anonymous reader writes: CNN has run a story interviewing Will Wright, Peter Molyneux, and other gaming luminaries talking about the future of gaming in a more mobile world. Among what they and other gaming insiders had to say:
* Multi-screen is starting to be designed into games from the start. Your big screen TV and game console, your smart phone, and your iPad will all participate in the gaming experience. You will be able to continue playing a game on your mobile device after you leave your living room, and you will be able to use your mobile device to enhance the gaming experience as you play on your large screen.
* There is an influx of new gaming experiences coming online as touch becomes integrated into the gaming experience.
* Younger gamers are more likely to adopt mobile devices as their primary gaming environment. "Smartphones, tablets and smart TVs are the first devices that the new generation will adopt rather than old PCs or gaming consoles."
* Console game makers are "aggressively expanding" their efforts to expand their offerings to include mobile devices.
* The graphics capability of tablets is quickly expanding to "equal current console offerings", and this will allow rich gaming experiences on mobile devices.
