Will next gen consoles be able to do this? no 56k or Crysis

Do you think this is what next gen consoles will produce? Or will they surpass these pictures? Keep in mind, people with mid range PCs DO play at these settings and no, it's not laggy :P

I hope some day, we get a month where someone doesn't make these GTA4 mod thread.funsohng

But thread upon thread of minor differences between a 360 and ps3 multiplatform is okay?

so i need to mod games just to take advantage of my systems power? High end pc is going pretty much no where these days.

I next gen will probably look a little bit better than that, but I have a feeling that next gen will focus more on getting all games to run at 1080p with 120FPS. Graphical advancements will probably take backseat to performance enhancements next gen.

No. But if you did then why would it matter? 'High-end' PC gaming is pretty much all about the customisation IMO.

If we can get 60 to become the new 30 and 120 to become the new 60, I'll be satisfied.

Meh, I prefer spooky metro pictures.

Metro 2033 is freaking awesome. I need some Last Light soon.

And this is what I want more of next gen. Graphics this gen have looked awesome, but a lot of the really great looking games don't have a good atmosphere.

They had better do a whole lot better than a bunch of photo textures slapped on some buildings and cars. ;)

You don't NEED to do anything, you have the possibility, that's the beauty of PC gaming.

GTAIV on PC is the most poorly optimized piece of trash I have ever seen. If you add all the mods it looks brilliant, but still runs like crap unless you're using very powerful dual cards. Add to that it has NO ANTI-ALIASING, and it can only be achieved through a pretty average mod which effectively doubling your resolution then compressing the image, crippling the framerate and only achieving 2x AA. I'm sorry but GTAIV on PC is a joke, jaggies are everywhere.gamebreakerz__

yeah im sure next gen consoles will be better than that

but PC's of course will still be tons better

PC will be close to photorealistic late next gen due to ray tracing, John Carmack has talked about it, next gen PC hardware could do it, but we may not see any games use it thanks to consoles holding PC back, Blizzard or Valve will be the only ones that could do it, Valve may, i doubt Blizzard will

Looks amazing, but GTA4 is still the last game I'd bring up in a graphics discussion, on consoles it looks like crap and on PC it runs like crap, take your pick.ManicAce

Why would anyone want 120 FPS? Hell 60 FPS is already extremely smooth. Add in some Crysis motion blur and you've got the smoothest game aroundocstew

Not to mention the adoption rates on TVs that take 120hz input signals are extremely low (even if advertised as 120Hz), so there isn't much of a point in sacrificing anything to reach that goal on consoles since for most people the extra frames will be wasted. Reaching the goal of 60fps however, is highly desirable.

I doubt it very much. If I want that kind of realism, I'll go outside.

I'd imagine that they will be better.
