Future timeline:
>2017: Judgement day from Terminator
>2019: Blade Runner
>2027: Deus Ex: Human Revolution
>2087: Alien
>2508: Dead Space
>30000: Horus Heresy
Which of those is the most likely to happen judging from todays perspective?
Feel free to add events from other games and movies to the timeline.
>inb4 bnw fags who not only argue that we are closer to bnw than 1984, but also that bnw is somehow worse
>>340442224
I place my bets on Dead Space.
Vanquish
Hillary Clinton is the president in that game.
>>340442224
Add a decade or two to Deus Ex and I'd say its the most believable out of all of those. If the HH will happen that means the beloved Emperor is walking among us right now.
>>340442548
That would mean we would have to colonise moon in 2045.
>>340442224
Deus ex but with a few extra years ahead of it.
According to Hawking and other smart fucks, Judgement Day is a possibility.
People are alreay getting augmented so Deus Ex is semr-truemore so if you're and /x/-phile with all the Majestic 12/Illuminati stuff
http://au.ign.com/videos/2016/06/08/deus-ex-augmented-future-open-bionics
>>340442224
dead space seems most likely
our technological advances aren't close enough to make it in time for the first 4
and the year 30k is just too much of a long shot to predict
>>340442993
That's 29 years. Plenty of time.
Dead Space.
Follows real life technological advancements
>>340443174
i'm hoping we're at least mining shit from the moon by then
not gunna get my hopes up for actual colonization tho
>>340442581
are there any games with a Trump like character as the president ?
>>340443425
metal gear solid: revenge
the Talos Principle is kind of believable. the apocalypse could happen that way. it's unlikely that someone would manage to create the Process, but I dunno, it could happen maybe I guess. I think it's in the 2030s
What have we already passed

>>340442548
>Dead Space
>2500
>Still no AI
Come on, AI is going to appear in our lifetime. Unless we die in some tragic death. But I expect it to appear in probably like 20 years from now, possibly even 10.
Dead Space and Deus Ex HR are the most doable.
Judgement day requires a setup with a skynet level computer villain, we are mid 2016 and there is no such thing.
Blade Runner is similarly out of the picture, replicants are too advanced, let alone all of the background info like mining space colonies.
Alien is too soon for space exploration/colonization in that scale.
Horus Heresy is so far in the future it's impossible.
>>340442224
You forgot battlefield 2142
The Running Man
>>340443704
Original Judgement day, Back to the Future and The Thing and both Space Oddysei.
>>340443778
maybe they deemed AI too unreliable to give it major functions other than autopilot and silly internet conversations
>>340442627
He'd have been walking among us for like 10.000 years by now.
>>340443356
There's nothing to mine on the moon that's worth the effort. Much better to send probes and scientists to Europa.
Half Life 2
http://timesplitters.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline
>>340444523
helium 3 which can be used for nuclear fusion with no radioactive waste
>>340445378
Might be useful if we knew anything about how to create a sustainable fusion reactor.
We're not going to make self-aware AI by next year, Terminator is out
Blade Runner is also out, we're not even close to making synthetic humans, let alone sentient AI.
Dude Sex is fairly likely, the technology in it isn't that far off.
Alien is somewhat unlikely, we'll need to invent FTL travel and colonize a significant portion of the near galaxy.
Dead Space is in the same boat but it portrays a decently realistic portrayal of the future, I think.
40K is autistic shit for manchildrenbut why do I like it?
>>340445594
theres also moon rocks which are extremely valuable
>>340445715
>40K is autistic shit for manchildren but why do I like it?
because its cool to think of what humans might be like after they have survived and progressed far enough to literally own the entire galaxy, then some chucklefuck with daddy issues destroys everything
>>340446287
kek
>>340442993
That's why I voted for Newt in 2012, fucker would've put us on the moon.
People with ocular implants are already being discriminated against, so I'm betting on Deus Ex
>>340446752
newt definitely woulda been cool and gotten our shit together
i really liked ben carson though
>>340446898
wait. herman cain. fuck all these black guys look the same
>>340443425
the Jojo fighting game
>>340442224
>Horus Heresy
The ultimate just cause it rhymes
>>340442224
Deus Ex HR's aug tech by 2027 is VERY feasible, but the affordability for an average joe to aug himself up isn't likely.
Also,they probably wouldn't. Prosthetic legs have enabled people to run faster since the 90s, but you don't see people chopping their legs off to get them. Working 100% artificial hearts exist, but there isn't anyone lining up to voluntarily get their hearts replaced.
>>340446569
40k humans aren't us in the future.
how long until nanomachines, son?
>>340444523
Titanium (ten times more than on earth)
Helium 3,
Aluminum,
Calcium,
Iron
You can make lunar installations with aluminium and calcium alone. Since calcium can make ceramics and pure calcium metal is an electrical conductor on par with copper. Also, production of aluminum from anorthite create calcium as a byproduct.
Mining the moon to make launch bases is needed if we want to colonize further.
>>340447749
The only nanomachines in development and working right now are designed to release medicine inside you. They're glorified gel capsules. That's where nanomachines for use inside living things is at right now. It's fucking nothing, there's no telling.

They're right, but it's both really.
>>340443425
not Trump per say. but he did make america great again
>>340442627
A decade or two?
The singularity is going to happen by 2029. The world won't even look like any known sci-fi at that point.
>>340448840
>singularity meme
Who started this shit anyway?
>>340449295
Ray Kurzweil.
Technological progress is exponential. You'd better believe shit's only going to get crazier over the next decade.
>>340442224
>2017: Judgement day from Terminator
The nuclear apocalypse in Terminator was triggered by an AI which had control of America's nukes. True AI achieved one year from now? Impossible.
>2019: Blade Runner
We're well on our way to corporations completely owning and controlling the governments of the world, this could well be the case in 3 years, this could well be the case now. Synthetics indistinguishable from humans with true AI, on the other hand, in 3 years? Impossible.
>2027: Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Augmented super humans in 11 years? We already have fully functional robotic limbs today, this is pretty feasible.
>2087: Alien
Humanity taking to the stars and becoming a space fairing civilization in 71 years? Could be possible.
>2508: Dead Space
If we aren't space fairing in 492 years then we'll have blown ourselves up. Otherwise, sure. Literally magic space zombies though? Nah.
>30000: Horus Heresy
Mankind going through a technological singularity, only for the race of AI machines to then turn on man in the most catastrophic war in all of history, resulting in the decimation of man but an ultimate victory, after which AI is strictly banned, a new dark age begins and man kind regresses to a xenophobic religious autocracy? Entirely possible. Magic space aliens and demons? Not so much.
I'm gonna have to go with Dude Sex.
>>340447325
No it doesn't.
>>340449950
dude sex is a meme tho...
>>340442224
>1984 - bipedal tanks and full bionic limbs
>2005 - a slightly less impressive bipedal tank, and replacing arms with corpse arms
>>340449883
This is just depressing.
>>340451320
Maybe. Humans are inevitably going to be irrelevant in the future with AI going the way it is today.
But that just means we can spend the rest of our days playing the ultimate vidya, and I'm OK with that.
>>340449883
THIS
Get ready to get your shit pushed in faggots, in a few decades world is gonna be more advanced than any Sci fi you've ever seen

We just recently had an AI beating the world's greatest Go player. (We already had AIs beating the best at Jeopardy and Chess well before that.)
Three years is an eternity for modern technological progress. Add another decade... you better believe shit's gonna get real.
True AI will never exist, but we are already seeing an age of bionics beginning to parallel or exceed natural human limbs.
My money is on deus ex.

Shit went downhill as soon as he thought of making humans software-based.
>>340450224

>>340452629
Dude Sex is a meme, he was going to say Deus Ex.
>>340452214
Humanity has and will continue to stagnate. The future will be just as shitty as the present.
>>340452847

Explain.
>>340449883
>>340451320
>This is just depressing.
i agree
on the fact that we'll never get to see this happen :(
>>340452979
technological singularity is our wish.
that doesn't means this will be the reality.
transhumanist and such are there already full of promises.
the Fermi's paradox on the other end remain unrefuted.
we'll see, imo, it will be a complete let-down.
>>340454353
Not him but what is this correlation between Fermi's Paradox and the Singularity out of nowhere?

none.
for now, we met no aliums nor technological singularity.
it's about believing.
>>340454468
i really do want these things
but i don't think they'll happen under the caliphate
>>340449883
Well, the way I see it, in a decade, I either get to be smugly correct about how retarded you for thinking this shit is happening anywhere soon, or I get to be happily wrong because my life will be greatly improved by technology. Win-win.

Pros
>virtual reality porn

>maybe some form of augments to do cool shit
>biological advancements means less sickness, maybe even more convenient like no more shitting/sleeping
>explore the galaxy with a cool robro
>dindus put down by nondiscriminate AI for breaking the law, they can't yell racism anymore
Cons
>stay in virtual reality porn all day, lose yourself to outside world
>AI will probably be smug faggots who look down at us
>4chan will still be aroundand the mods will still do it for free
>no more sleeping
>people like Chris Chan and barneyfag will live forever

>>340456796
To think (almost) all of that was only made possible with the Manhattan project ushering the world into the atomic age. Will an era defining event precipitate the age of the singularity?has it already happened?
>people talking about how crazy the next few decades will be
>europe currently collapsing into a dark age
Nah. Even Africa is collapsing into an even more primitive state.
>>340455564
considering how things are now
if someone does that "hello world" program and makes it say "im a human too" there will be swarms of retards trying to get machines the exact same human rights

If any of those things creates a significant improvement from the average person, and we suddenly enter a major world conflict, you can bet your ass the rich countries will be auging their soldiers up ASAPwith a proprietary ownership clause such that the auged person is now a ward of the state with no bodily autonomy, since their body is state property, of course
So we could have GitS with the right circumstances in the next 10-30 years
>>340457383
as soon as they had advanced a stage, they get weapons and they blast themselves back several eras
Alien(s), dead space - soft sci-fi, mere fairy tales, not far from Star Wars. No any real space exploration is possible without new disruptive techs how to get the hella lot of things to at at least a low earth orbit. Not such techs in sight, not even Musk's with his impressive landing stumps close. A fusion rocket could be a solution, but big monsters like ITER are cash practically cesspools with no deadlines and small ones are underfunded and unproved. If miraculously we get the techs - why not, all other techs how to sustain a human life and a working machine in space are already here. But it won't look like giant spaceships cruising through space.
Avatar in that regard is a hard core science fiction about space. Yes, shitty plot, but otherwise totally plausible.
Also interstellar, while having a lot of plot and technical holes, plays fairly well on the actual look.
Blade Runner - in some regards is plausible. But hey, replicants are almost humans. We can't grow a mouse embryo past several hundred cells outside a womb, not just humans. And any in utero modified entity will possibly have the same rights as anyone else.
Deus Ex - the most plausible and technically accurate. The 2016 - we have osteontegrated prostehsis with microprocessor controllers and some rudementery neurointerface. Also we have artificial retinas with crude vision restoration, cochlear implants and of course we have an artificial hearts in the bag, who could sustain a relatively fine life for months and years. If the humanity does not perish in a nuclear war - we gotta have all of this.
Terminator - made by the same guy who later made Avatar. He plays attention to details. Maybe it's closest to what could be in the future. In the bad one.
What scares me is life's started to make the future pretty quick. Yesterday we only read about AI, quantum computing and neural networks, today we see them implemented in the everyday life. If we teach AI, i doubt it will grow peaceful and wise.
Human revolution was the most moderate and down to earth thing on your list and even that relied on a genetic abnormality/genetic engineering of Adam.
Blade Runner has things like space travel to other planets and shit. Terminator is terminator let's be real. Horus Heresy was in the year 3000?
>>340457691
if the world resisted the barbarian invasions i'm sure we could have seen these things
>>340457221
It's sad. Everything from cellphones to a lot of medical techs were developed for the military. We have small computers because they needed to fit guidance systems in ballistic rockets to guide them toward total destruction. For the same reasons they developed nuclear reactors -to breed weapon grade plutonium, electricity was and still is a by product ( except for nuke submurines, but they carry nukes too). Space program actually stemmed from the ballistic missile development. Until it was't perspective as a weapon, it interested just talented, but marginal scientist as Goddard or Tciolkovsky.
That's one of the reason we don't have working fusion reactors, moon bases or even valuable space colonization. Fusion reactors do not produce weapons. Space colonization do not increasing military budgets, we have nobody to threaten and bomb there. Our progress in major stalled after we'd developed H-bombs strapped on ballistic rockets - they're perfect for we like the most -killing each other.
>mfw i was expecting the world to end in 2012 but it never did
>>340458761
maybe it did.
>>340442224
Most likely is 2508 - dead space.
Humans are gonna take another 490 years to get even half assed space travel since we're so worried about fucking religion and letting it hold us back.
