if you didn't join us at last month's new york gaming meetup, there's a good chance you missed out on take-two interactive ceo ben feder and gamelab founder eric zimmerman discussing where gaming will be 30 years from now. luckily for you, we captured highlights from the event on video and dropped them into a 10-ish minute vignette just after the break.

we found feder's take on hardware plateaus especially interesting. he believes developers will be free of technical constraints, allowing them to solely focus on creativity. though he's not sure we'll reach that plateau in the next few years, he sees it as an inevitability. ''''''there is an element of technology needed for innovation for sure, feder said. ''''''i think that's not going away -- that's going to be with us forever. just in the way that humans will always invent new things and innovate to solve problems.''''''

eventually, he said, entertainment technology will reach a point at which it's ''''''good enough to tell an interactive story. or to play an interactive game.'''''' he then admitted, ''''''i don't know when that is.'''''' us? we're going with 25 years. yeah, that sounds about right.continue reading highlights from the future of gaming ... panel at the new york gaming meetup
