How did a flash cartoon from 2004 manage to predict the current state of video games so accurately?

link to it, faggot
Because 2004 wasn't that long ago actually, and the future of the industry was easy to see as early as 2001 when the Xbox launched.

>Replace N-gage with ouya
>Add some stuff about DLC and microtransactions
>Add something about mobile games
>Remake the same exact flash and it works
It's mostly just broad jokes
By looking at the state of the industry then, and then project as best they could into the future.
They weren't the only ones to do it, OP.

Because the future of vidya was so shitty exaggerated jokes became reality.

12 years isn't that long when you're not a kid anymore. predicting general trends within certain markets within a range of a decade isn't all that hard.
Also, honestly, that video didn't really predict anything, it's just silly egoraptor-tier jokes.
It's hilarious just how little has changed. They nailed the personalities of Capcom, Konami and Squeenix so well.

you are fucking retarded and probably underaged
>>331382940
The cartoon didn't predict anything interesting. It was the same shit everyone was saying at the time, the same shit everyone says in every generation because history keeps fucking repeating itself.
The only real revolutionary paradigm shift in the past thirty years for video games was the internet.
>That extra wide Final Fantasy box trying to contain all the numerals
Every fucking time.

AT ONCE
Didn't they have a joke where Snake was an old man in a future MGS?
And this was made well before any MGS4 stuff was shown off?
Pretty good

the industry was already in the state it's in now back then, it's just been magnified by the mass expansion in users and in cost of development.
