The developers will mainly focus on gameplay and it will be awesome! Or maybe we would havealready beenkilled by WWIII or global warming or you or maybe... Me! Anyway, no more new GFX cards since there won't be any improvements on the GFX side. What do you think? Also, I posted this on the PC games forum because by that day, all console gamers have already died. ;)Why? They became mad when they saw how good Crysis 3looked.

The day games achieve their maximum graphical protential is when we all have holosuites like in Star Trek or chips in our brains so we see the games using our own eyes.

I think that game developers will stop following gfx hardware at some point due to budget restrictions. I mean, it costs alot of money to make good looking games. Unless way down the road there is some quick and easy way to generate good looking games using mainly procedural techniques, which is probably going to eventually be the case.

I dunno dude. At this rate, I think humanity will kill itself before we have a chance to even come close to reaching our maximum potential in any field of technology.

Same thing I was thinking. :P
I've been saying it for years. The more the graphics have improved, the further the overal value of games has decreased.
I mean, look at Crysis. It's fun for a while, but gets boring eventually, and it's only 15-20 hours long. Come on! Sure the graphics were stunning at certain points.
This is gonna sound weird, but when I think back on certain parts in Baldur's Gate 2 that I almost feel like I can smell and taste the stuff there. :P Now when I think back on Crysis, I only remember a few tiny "wow" moments, and I only remember them because I can't help but think they were terribly forced.

Yeah, sounds about right but maybe we get bored of newgames just because they're not new at all. I mean sure they got new features but nothing mind-blowing whereas older games were most of the time revolutionary games just because they were among the first into that particular genre. Now, I don't think we can create new genres as it's risky and there's nothingelse to create. Now, I hope that some crazy developers will take the risk and introduce their game as the first to step into a new era of gaming; one that will not just slightly edit the already existingcontent but one that will build itself a name we shall all remember!

Maybe when you can have full battles on screen with no problems with lagg etc not like the total war franchise but like oblivion but where you have 1000's of npc's fighting each other on screen instead of just 6.
