Video games often feel so very current; it's all happening right now. Every year, everything is different! But... how will this all look when viewed from the distant remove of the far future?

Now that the Game Developers Conference is over, our GDC cartoonist Elizabeth Simins is here to tell us about the top five things she experienced while at the conference.

Sony has just announced that virtual reality is coming to the PS4. It's called Project Morpheus.
