After seeing those DX11 Fermi pics I must admit that they're very good.

So my question is when all video games gets graphics that's life like, what do you think is the next thing video game developers are going to improve upon? (Seeing that graphics is the only thing progessing right now)

Developers will end up going too far, making the graphics actually come to life, with the life like characters destroying all of the humanity. It will happen. Serious.

We will forget that we play games because it's not real

Graphics should make games beautiful, not realistic

i think the last of the consoles will come out. it might be the last gen, and everyone will be satisfied with the console theyve got (eg. ps6, xbox 1440, nintndo poo etc.)

They will invent a new dimension and advertise their games as having better than life graphics.

OR! People invent a new form of display, where you have a transparent box containing billions of particles that flies around and light up to form an image

OR! We have a break-through in quantum physics that allows us to have farcasters built in our "TVs"

OR! The human race extincts before then because every person have forgotten procreate

OR! A giant spider arrives and takes us to the end of the universe where we experience an endless orgasm that satisfies every single sense in our mind so we don't need games anymore

OR! Every superpower in the world develop games into propagandas and viruses that infects people of other nations and we have a techno-neurotic war

OR! The industry looses it's purpose due to the lack of variety within the industry and the lack of competition

OR! The industry remakes every single classic games in the world and ruins them all

Next gen perhaps, the nvidia dune demo looked like a 2007 game and according to moore's law the time to which the demo graphics could be realized will only decrease.

Graphics will never be life like. Closest they will get is something along the lines of Beowulf or the forthcoming Christmas Carol. The idea of video games is to suspend reality. Outside of Virtual life, there is NO reason to make any games life like.[QUOTE="SystemOnline"]

We will forget that we play games because it's not real

This Games are meant to suspend reality, not recreate it. I think when developers can achieve a game that looks as good as something like the forthcoming Christmas Carol, that will be the video game industry maxed out when it comes to graphical fidelity, because anything more than that is taking games to a realm that they were never meant to be. Video games need to have a suspension of disbelief otherwise people end up forgetting that they are playing a game. The only reason people know that WoW is a game is because of its art style and setting. You give WoW crysis like Graphics and all of a sudden people start dying within days because they forget they are playing a video game.

God forbid more developers will try and bring out original and thought provoking titles with great story telling and emotional impact.. That or just rehash a dull fps with a new art style and claim it will lead us to the promised land.

Boo, I never want life-like graphics, we need cell shaded graphics to look like anime though.

Animation and art style. Then they could get cracking on story, level design, pacing, etc. There's a lot of stuff they have to work on.

A) those are pics not gameplay, with physics,a.i, multiple NPCs and trying to maintain a stable fps i don't see games looking like that for a while. Furthermore its simply not cost effective, its already over 15 million for big budget games.

Tons of things... such as: stimulating senses other than sight voice recognition voice synthesis all encompassing simulation of matter -- things will respond to each other according to all properties of physics AI which replicates personality ^ this would also go together with the simulation of entire populations (like for a city) Full body tactile feedback motion control The list goes on...
