Will Hitscan Always Be With Us?

After playing Kane and Lynch 2, I realized how bad hitscan is in shooter games. It really short-changes the shotgun in most of these games, and make shooter games feel less like shooting a weapon and more like chipping away at hitpoints like an RPG game.

Will the next gen with more processing power allow for better ballistics in games? 

Or are fundamental constraints like bandwidth and lag for multiplayer matches keep this from happening?

i hate multiplayer games.

FPS became nearly 100% hitscan when arena shooters dropped in popularity, and creative weapons died with them.

Here's my favorite shotgun variation ever: the Flak Cannon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPde9PDTXJY
