The first two shots if from PIXAR's next movie Ratallouville and the thrid one is from PIXAR's 2008 film WALL-E.

Can videogames ever hope to look that good?

well considering CG animation is always technically beyond video game engine capabilities, the games will eventually get there but there will always be something better.

Yup.  Give it a few years.  I'm not going to go screenshot crazy here, but compare Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within against the preview footage of Mass Effect.  In six years a game systems real-time rendering can match the look of that very expensive CG movie.

looks? yes of course. but the difference between how those movies look and what a video game is, is that games ahve playable enviroments, they arent just flat images such as a movie. I do believe that games will reach that level of detail and graphics though, id say within 10 years. Concidering the rate of tech development doubles every 2 years(according to that one guys equation) and the fact 3D televisions will be coming out within the next 20 years, id say we can expect more then that. actual 3D games anyone?

I don't think I will like it to look that real that real, only so much realism can be bought into game before it shifts from a game to outside my window.

I love being called a fanboy... yet I have always said, I would own every system if I could, it is just my wallet preventing me from doing so.

Bioshock is going to be fun to play. Mass Effect is going to be fun to play. Spore is going to be fun to play. Assassin's Creed is going to be fun to play. They look good, yes, but they will also feature fun gameplay, which is why I PLAY video GAMES.

It would be a PAIN in the ASS to design all that for games. (As I'm sure it is for those at Pixar. Pixar should get into designing graphics for games.

Well, in the future, obviously.... However, it won't be anytime soon. If this is as far as CG animation has come - it will take video games awhile to catch up.

Kev_Unreal

People have been saying that we should had already hit Toy Story graphics by now for over 5 years now.

But no. We still have a LONG way to go till we reach Toy Story.

And if we still have all that just to get to Toy Story, imagine how long it will take to get to WALL-E.

I'm gonna say in 2 or 3 gens, so about 2010-2015. Our graphics now look good, but to reach that level is going to take a while.

Particularly in a realtime 3D rendering. Not even CGI professionals have access to that caliber of technology today (all 3D animation films seen to this point have been pre-rendered--realtime previews occur at a reduced quality, as I recall from watching bonus footage from Monsters, Inc.).

But the devs are promising to hit that level of quality realtime in their eventual release (and it's a known multiplat--360 and PS3).

Yeah if they can get it that good it will blow anybodys mind. And what the hell is Uncanny Valley anway
