Will videogames EVER look THIS good? (56k restricted)

toy story far away?

crysis easily destroys it 

[QUOTE="HuusAsking"][QUOTE="StarFoxCOM"]OMFG that looks sweet. Sadly it's a tech demoStarFoxCOM

They most certainly will,Pixar has even said there switching to 3d in 2009,or at least one of there film will be made in 3d (not cgi but real-time 3d),so expect thosse graphics by 2009/10 whe nthe next xbox comes out?blacktorn

The phenomenon can be explained by the notion that, if an entity is sufficiently non-humanlike, then the humanlike characteristics will tend to stand out and be noticed easily, generating empathy. On the other hand, if the entity is "almost human", then the non-human characteristics will be the ones that stand out, leading to a feeling of "strangeness" in the human viewer.

Toy Story 3 comes out in 2010.

and because they have promised we should all believe them...just like with Killzone, and Motorstorm :roll:

don't get me wrong, I'm really hyped about Heavy Rain based on the developer's record and the trailer's cinematic quality, but their claim that the game will actually look like that is on par with "PS3 will be 4D".

I believe Geforce 9900GTX with DX10c or DX11 will be able to render CGI atleast at 30fps, so maybe Q4 2008 or Q2 2009. Just imagine Crysis with texture mods and higher res mods all running at 2650x1900. Or maybe a modified Cryengine 2.

If that won't look like CGI I don't know what will. 

I hope not. I like playing games, not watching them.foxhound_fox

I read a report on the future of graphics.  The report was on bbc website about 5months ago. 

The report said it will take up to 20 years to reach full photo realism. 

So i would guess it would only take about 5 - 10 years to reach in the in-game graphics you see in the picture of this thread.

Yeah, but by the time games looks that good, movies will be in full 3D using holographic projections on an electronic video stage instead of a screen.Dr_Corndog

Actually only game I buy semi for as a movie is Metal Gear Solid series, but I do like it gameplay too.ArisShadows

well it seems square-enix are having problems developing a game on 1 system dew to exploding dev costs and a lot of devs are just too lazy to pay attention to detail.. so the price is just gonna go up and up if graphics could get this good.Dahaka-UK

I don't know. We haven't even begun to figure out the physical, let alone the computational, feats necessary to achieve even a still volumetric 3D image of an arbitrary electronic object into freespace.HuusAsking

Okay i see what it is. For example if you saw the movie I Robot. The Robot in the movie was as close to human as possible yet not.StarFoxCOM

Ratchet & Clank Future will look that good.Runningflame570

it won't. With games like it or Crysis we are finaly aproaching Toy Story, it's close, but we're still not there yet 

I for one am convinced that the developers who are going to be most successful from here on out are those who are small but efficient and highly skilled. This paradigm shift towards smaller groups with less overhead is being seen almost everywhere except for retail (which is losing ground to online sales in any case).Runningflame570

Toy Story graphics are already here, and more.

Nope, even Toystory (1995) doesnt seem outdated.

true, but close:

People forget about the perfect gaming machine.

Our very own mind.
Games will be far more beautiful and glamerous than anything You have ever seen, and nobody knows when it happens.

I know this may come as a surpise, but some good looking games actually play good as well.
